Beyond 8-Bit: Listen to popular songs created with Mario Paint Composer

January 16, 2013

mariopaintLet’s take a stroll down memory lane and remember the Super Nintendo classic Mario Paint. Along with the ability to draw there was also a composer for creating music. In recent years a computer version emerged, and many have taken to recreating popular songs with the composer. The songs sound surprisingly accurate and full for video game software. Here are some of the best:


Radiohead – Paranoid Android

Journey – Don’t Stop Believing

Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit

Toto – Africa

Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

The Killers – Mr. Brightside

Michael Jackson – Thriller
