As with all of our console medleys over the last several years, this medley was assembled by GaMetal Patrons (hey you should become one https://www.patreon.com/jonnyatma ), who submitted almost every song that appears here. We then drew several random songs and I hand selected a few from the list that were from key games I wanted to be sure to include.

So this was technically supposed to be our second console medley last year, but as the end of the year got closer, I decided to do some other songs instead (like Team Star Boss) so I didn’t feel like I had to crunch at the end of the year as I’ve been doing in recent years. Medleys use up a lot of creative energy!

I’m really happy with how this medley came out. I put a little extra emphasis on having songs transition as smoothly as possible (only using hard transitions in a few spots). Opening (SSBM) was one of the drawn songs, and being from arguably the #1 GameCube title, it was a shoe-in for the opening spot.

No Zelda songs were drawn, so I was deciding between including either Twilight Princess or Wind Waker… I couldn’t make up my mind, so I just did both!

My personal oddball selection for this medley was definitely Captain Falcon’s Theme. No F-Zero GX song was drawn, and I wanted to include one. There’s a few that could’ve been included, but I thought this one would be most memorable.

Stacking with my playfulness of the Captain Falcon pick was my pick for the medley closer. Baby Park, with it’s constant escalation in tempo and franticness, fit the bill better than any other. I’ve always wanted to do this song in some way, and it made for the perfect GCN Medley closer, imo.

There’s always a game or series that might have missed the cut in these medleys (I can only do so many songs in a medley project before I go insane!), but I feel we’ve touched MOST of the important bases here. Besides, there could always be another medley in the future.

Enjoy this tribute to the Nintendo GameCube!
