So here is something I‘d like to see circulated more…

there is a cover of Pollyana (from Mother) from 89/90’s Japanese television that I found on starmen dot net forums way back around 2005.

there have since been a few decent acoustic covers of Pollyana, but none of them are as good as this one still IMHO. It does a lot to liven things up.

This mario kart medley is fun. They even have the engine revving sounds.

@zako#21533 The engine and countdown noises really sell it!

This was wonderful, thank you for posting!

I also wanted to share a cover of the same track. This guy's YouTube channel is him playing a variety of video game music with live instruments, but arranged in such a way that it ends up matching your memory rather than the real thing.

Cover of an (admittedly most epic ever) online lobby theme song. We really have come a long way.

Thanks, I just got over my addiction to the DDLC Theme and now I may have relapsed completely.

@SuperEffective#25146 I used to really enjoy that song, but ever since actually playing the game last year I have a visceral aversion to it…soooo mission accomplished I guess!

@SuperEffective#25146 While IDK if this set counts as acoustic, it is an epic set by one of my favorite video game acoustic cover bands. the sax is definitely acoustic! Also from this same set: their cover of Simple and Clean that always brings tears to my eyes.
