We love a good gaming tune. Our Nintendo playlists consist of hours of upbeat tunes from our favourite games, each one capturing the carefree, joyous feeling of the level from which it originates (bar some exceptions, of course \u2014 we’re looking at you ‘Forest Temple’). But what if these tunes weren’t quite so upbeat? What if the happy feeling was instead kinda stressful?<\/p>\n

That is a question that has been answered by kuribo98<\/a> on YouTube, whose Nintendo themes “but in minor” covers have got us reevaluating our relationships with the classic tracks.<\/p>\n

Take, for example, the Overworld theme from New Super Mario Bros.<\/a> That’s an upbeat track, right? Well, you flip the key into minor and this frolic through the Mushroom Kingdom begins to sound like the last stages of a spooky battle, where a hoard of zombies is closing in on the castle and only Mario is left to stop them. If you don’t believe us, you can see for yourself in the cover below:<\/p>\n
