Christmas Video Game Music
Dec. 3, 2004
As I've mentioned on this site before, I like to listen to remixes of video game music. Every year around this time, the mixers and arrangers who create these things are struck with the holiday spirit, and create some bizarre, yet compelling fusions of popular Christmas tunes with video games. I bring you a sampling of these now.
I'll start with the best. This track by the One Up Mushrooms cleverly combines Sleigh Ride with various themes from Super Mario World for the SNES. The two songs go together so well it is almost frightening.
Second, Dale and Kaijin collaborate to bring this combination of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" with the sailing theme from Final Fantasy 1. The video game theme is obscure, but the track is pleasing nonetheless.
Finally, Ashaman has put together a suite of Final Fantasy themes with the popular "Carol of the Bells." Very pretty. Final Fantasy tunes include the Chocobo Theme and Terra's Theme.
