Name That Tune Contest - Episode VII


Well, it's been a long while, but how about a new Name That Tune contest? I'll be PMing a whole bunch of people at the site to try and generate some participation and have some fun on the site again. Stars for everybody that takes part and more stars for those who do well in the contest.

All the rules are below, as usual. There's no particular theme with this one - it's all just random music from games that have appeared on any Nintendo console. Please let me know if it's too hard or too easy, or just right. Or even if you have any ideas for future themes I could do. Any feedback is good feedback.

Okay, it does seem this one has been pretty tough for everybody, so I promise the next one will be much easier and more fun (it'll have a special theme!). But please do take part in this, guys. I want to bring a bit of fun to the forum and it takes a bit of time to make these, so please give it a shot. It's a bit of much-needed fun!!

The 25 tracks can be heard below. The majority of them should be loud and clear, but one or two may be on the quiet side. Apologies, but hopefully you can hear them alright.


 

To Enter


All you have to do is listen to the 25 music clips in the above YouTube video, and tell me which game they come from. PM me your entry! Do not post your answers in this thread or anywhere else on the forum. Please title your PM something relevant, like "Contest Entry from (your username)", and if you don't have an answer for a clip, leave it blank.

Example:
1. Tetris
2. Super Mario 64
3.
4. Donkey Kong Land

Scoring


1 point for a correctly guessed game.
Half a point for guessing the correct series.

So if the game was Super Mario World, but you guessed Super Mario Bros 3, you'd get half a point.

There's no penalty for a wrong answer, so just guess if you don't know! You could get a half point or even better!

Prizes


Stars are the rewards. Everyone finishing in the top 5 will receive a set amount of stars. Anyone that finishes outside of the top 5 will receive 1 star for participating.

1st place - 20 stars
2nd place - 10 stars
3rd place - 5 stars
4th place - 3 stars
5th place - 2 stars

Closing Date


This coming Sunday. I'll announce in the thread more of an exact time to close it.

Rules, Tips and Notes


1. This edition has no set theme. All songs are from games that have appeared on a Nintendo platform (handheld or console) in some shape or form. So that means Virtual Console platforms like Mega Drive could have games in this.

2. Again, do not post your answers in this thread or elsewhere on the forum. PM me your answers.

3. No asking for answers or discussing the answers with others on here. That would be completely unfair for those genuinely trying hard. Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified.

4. If you want to submit a correction, you can. Just PM me again with your updated answers.

5. In the events of equal scores, whoever PM'd me first will be taken into consideration as to who wins. Your most recently-submitted entry will be taken if you corrected something, so bare this in mind.

6. If a song has appeared in more than one game, post the instance that this version appears from. Listen carefully to which version of the music it is. If the version is in more than one game, posting any of the games it appears in is acceptable.

7. Don't worry if you think you cannot guess them all. Do your best and take a guess; you could still get a half point or even better! There is no penalty for a wrong answer!

8. No extra credit is given to guessing the name of the song. It would make it more difficult to guess the song name, so just the name of the game only please!

9. Be exact in your answer. If the game is a sequel, include the full title, sequel number or subtitle.

10. I will announce the winners in this thread as soon as I've counted up the scores after the contest ends.

Answers

1. Donkey Kong Country
2. Sonic 3
3. Mass Effect 3
4. New Super Mario Bros.
5. Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
6. PN03
7. Monster Hunter 3
8. Aladdin
9. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
10. Zelda: Skyward Sword
11. Wario World
12. Mighty Switch Force
13. Sonic Colours
14. Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
15. GoldenEye 007
16. Streets of Rage
17. Tekken Tag Tournament 2
18. Duck Tales
19. Luigi's Mansion 2
20. Cool Spot
21. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II
22. The Legend of Zelda
23. Conker's Bad Fur Day
24. Game & Watch Gallery
25. Star Fox Assault

Note: For #10 I couldn't find the exact version on YouTube that I used in my video, which seemed to play an extra bit at the start. I suppose that extra bit plays when you first enter this specific area of the game.

Accepted "Tekken Tag" for #17 since there's only one on a Nintendo platform.

Likewise, accepted "BlazBlue" or similar for #21 since there's only one on a Nintendo platform.

Damn that was hard xD
Some sounded so familiar but couldn't put my finger on them.

Nintendo Network ID: LKR000               PSN: LKR000     
3DS: 1246-8696-120                              GT: LKR101

I thought as much XD Since I've PMed loads of people, I should've made it a bit more appealing by making it easier lol. Ah well, next time!

This might well be your hardest one yet. Will take me some time to figure out most of them Smilie

I'm kinda pissed off at myself for making it too hard XD That's not gonna get people playing!

I promise the next one will be much easier. I won't let this one drag on too long.

Well, I put my thinking cap on, had a go and managed to guess eight which I think I got right. That was pretty tough Smilie

Thanks for playing, though!

Any suggestions for the next one are welcome. A certain console might make things easier, e.g. GameCube only etc.

Oh man that was hard Smilie I think I only answered about half and even then a lot were probably off the mark.. oh well, it was good fun and my interest is piqued in a lot of the ones I couldn't put a finger on.

Psst, for the next one have only Sonic music
not because I'll win it or anything Smilie
whistles.

Awesome, 4 entries now Smilie Keep 'em comin' guys!

Haha, Sonic would be so awesome to do. I'd love to do it, but you just know that some people haven't even played a Sonic game before. Perhaps Zelda could work because most people here have played them. Or Mario. But I can just try to throw in obscure ones where possible.

I'm trying to think a little outside the box for other ideas too. Particular consoles is a nice and easy one. But also something like games where you only control a female, or something to that effect. Any other interesting ideas are welcome.

Wow, didn't expect to struggle with that so much!! I hardly guessed any... I'll listen again, chuck some random games in the blanks and PM it in anyway. XD

At least the positive about it is that you're all in the same boat. Everyone is finding it difficult, but it's really interesting to see which ones people are getting and who knows tunes others don't.

I'm working on the next one right now and it's gonna be much easier. It's Zelda Smilie

Please look forward to it.

Oh god, I'm terrible at these. Smilie 

Sticking to a theme would help! I'll give it another few listens and see what I can come up with.

Already made the next one and wanna post it up now XD Must wait though :/

6 entries so far is good for this one, though! But still plenty more people I wanna hear from. Remember, in tie situations, whoever sent me theirs first wins. And there's no harm in trying. You still get a star for entering.

Thanks for the PM, i could get a few but never enough to get them all so its not worth an entry!

Yes it is. Everyone is in the same boat. If everyone thought the same, I wouldn't have had any entries :/ The more that take part the better. Makes me feel like it wasn't a waste of my time XD

Ah, good, you entered! : )

( Edited 15.04.2013 22:56 by Azuardo )

I just tried but that was an horrendous entry, i quite like things like this but unfortunately i am not so clued up as i'd like to think! 

Maybe if it was console specific it might be easier, but maybe too easy for some!


( Edited 15.04.2013 22:57 by Flynnie )

Is it bad that I recognised more tunes from in that from things unrelated to games than from actual games?

Cheesing it up said:

I can think of at least 2 I only recognised from that reason yep.

Dang, this is hard. I recognize so many, but can't quite place them...

( Edited 16.04.2013 01:14 by Hawk )

Working like a fiend isn't very fun... and surprisingly isn't very fiendish either.

Shoot, I think I recognized three. I'm going to listen to more over the weekend hopefully and give it a bit more thought.

Try to make it before Sunday, if possible, since I'll likely end this on that day.

Happy to receive quite a few entries for this, so I think PMing people has definitely helped. Hopefully with the next one as a Zelda theme it'll get even more people.

But where some of my regulars at? :/ SirLink? Marzy? You guys were always happy to play no matter how tough it was. You still gonna enter this, or any particular reason why not? Is it just too tough for you, and you'll be entering the Zelda one?

Some of them I know, but my brain won't work. ;_;

Thanks Marzy!!

I think this is the most people I've had playing the game before! It's much more exciting.

I had a PM written, but then didn't want to embarrass myself. haha

Thanks again for all the entries. This is the most I've had for a quiz before, despite this being the most difficult! Would love it if more people still entered before Sunday.

I've made it a bit easier for myself in editing these now and can piece them together pretty quickly, so I can hopefully try to make some more.

You all know the theme for the next one, but is there anything in particular people would like for the one after that? I think popular series could make things much easier. Metroid? Star Fox? Mario? Donkey Kong? Any other ideas?

Update - Will end this tomorrow morning and post the next one up afterwards.

Suggest any last minute entrants get them in now!

And again, further suggestions for the next one are welcome.
