His version of Castlevania's Bloody Tears is one of the top version of this music that i ever heard (and they remix this music A LOT)

Wow, that is the dictionary definition of nerd. Still awesome though.

This is definitely amazing, but I'm with Platy; his rendition of Bloody Tears is absolutely epic.

Wow.
His recreating of Gato's song worked so well.
This man is my new God.

The level of geek in this video is only eclipsed by the level of win.

I hope everyone realizes that Mario Paint is right at the f*&%ing top of the list of "Games begging for a Wii sequel/remake"

Great work.
Does anyone know if Mario Paint is already a vitual console title in Europe? or if it will be soon?

Wow, amazing stuff. I remember Mario Paint very well. I spent hours twiddling with its various tools. Makes me want to study music theory again.

"It's things like this that make me wish Nintendo would make mario paint DS!"
Why? If you looke at the videos, you will see he needed to infact build 5-10 songs just to make 1 full song because the limit you so much on space in the game. With a DS, you wouldent be able to use a cpature card and combine them all together.
The one thing I hated about making music in mario paint as a kid was that you always ran out of room so quickly.
