raocow's talkhaus

I think that lava cave background is from Tunnel Rhino's stage in MMX3, but with the water colored red.

That Mario Land music came from the Super Mario Land Arranged album. We used several tracks from it in the TT Bros games.

The SFX in vanilla SMBX 1.3 are some awful recordings, I think they might even be recorded from an emulator. One thing Zaidyer insisted on when we were putting together the standalone SMBX install for the STTB games was better sound effects so pretty much all the SFX were re-recorded. Here's a zip w...

That looks like the participation award that DKL3 itself deserves, haha. It sure tried its best. One thing I'll give it is that (most of*) DKC3's enemy sprites seemed to translate better to the Land series than the first two games, though they were aided by being on GBC this time. *Kachuka's blob of...

Oh wow Illusion of Gaia music, that takes me back.

Not to step on Enjl's toes (he made most of the map stuff, correct?) but I made some edits to the LJC episode during the PAL release because I wanted to use the world map stuff myself, and I kept tinkering with it till I got it working. You can download my changes here , just replace the lua files i...

Wow, at about 21:18 on the video raocow sounds more livid for a moment that I can ever remember hearing him.

"Let me get control back you monster."

It had the tone of a parent that just lost their last ounce of patience with a misbehaving kid. XD

Youtube's auto-captioner is magical sometimes.



Is Erawan the Snow Cow part of the greater raocow universe? Maybe he's Joey's cousin?

The music from the Ghost House level today is giving me major flashbacks to a classic raocow moment.

Where does the remix bgm for the Koopalapolis stage originate? I know I've heard it in other hacks raocow has played but I can't remember which.

Apparently the music from the first level today, with the built-in birds singing, is from Quartz Quadrant in Sonic CD, but only in the JP/PAL release.

Haha wow, I usually watch raocow's morning video on my lunch break, but I couldn't quite fit this one in!

Oh hey I didn't know Spore Spawn visited the Northern Kremisphere from Planet Zebes.

I always thought the DKC3 underwater theme was reminiscent of Carol of the Bells, honestly, which is not even the most Christmas-y thing about this game! (the aforementioned MERRY code)

So in this episode Sephiroth obtained the Black Materia and has summoned Meteor to rule the world!

The story has just taken a sharp left turn at Bonkersville, I love it. This game better have a scene with Princess Peach being tragically killed by Bowser or else what's the point?

Did anyone else mishear raocow at the start of today's video or is it just me and my filthy mind?

The sound most Kremlings make when defeated during chipmunk mode is something I find far funnier than I really should.

Does anyone know what the BGM was for the Dark Mario fight? Because the opening kind of sounds like the final battle theme from Thousand Year Door, but the rest of it sounds so tortured filtered through the Mario 64 soundfont I really can't say for certain.

Gosh the music for the last stage today was driving me nuts because I knew I knew it.

Turns out it's the Velvet Room theme from the Persona games.

It's so weird the Dragon Quest 5 level went on to use Final Fantasy 5 music during the mountain segment, even though the backdrop was from Dragon Quest 5 as well. Maybe there was no BGM in DQ5 that really fit a platformer? The whole Nera/Bianca thing is kind of a meme in Japan, I think. I've seen it...

Looks like a proper keyhole effect was lua'd up for SMBX at some point. Awesome.

(I need to actually catch up with new SMBX developments, I'm so behind the times)

And that's the story of how Wario became roommates with the Giant Spearman.

I'm mostly disappointed raocow missed the obvious Owl Control pun when he fumbled with 'Shovel Control'. He clearly should have said 'Trowel Control'.

This branch is my favorite of the alternates, both it and Waluigi's Mansion Uncanny Manor are the most unique, but I think there's more cleverness in the design of the stages of this chapter than the Manor, which was mostly 'LOL Zombie'd'. Though maybe it can get a bit too clever, I wonder how much ...

Today Wario fights the ghost of Buff-Arms Waluigi in his dreams.

I'm sure if you psychoanalyzed that it would say something about him but I'm just not sure what.
