At long last, after several SMRPG arrangements in celebration of the remake released last year, we’re taking on the most requested SMRPG song of the moment: Fight Against Smithy, and Fight Against Smithy, Who Likes Transforming! (Now known as “Battling Smithy” and “Battling Smithy’s Many Forms” in the remake.)

I had actually planned for this to be the 2024 finale, but as the end of the year was getting closer, I decided to end it with Serpent that Devours the Horizon instead. I then planned to finish it up and release it after Pizza Time, but decided to put a little bit of space in between the two.

I based these arrangements off of the new versions from the remake, which doesn’t change much of the original composition or song structure, but added a few small things here and there (for instance, the short strings melody at the end of the Fight Against Smithy), and (IMO) drastically improved the instrumentation.

Although this is the final battle, I’m no where near done with Super Mario RPG remixes, especially since the remake has revived interest in the series, and in the best possible way (it’s a beautiful remake!). So you can count on more in the future, for sure!

Lastly: for this double remix we’re also joined by our familiar friends Ro Panuganti and RichaadEB for a couple of guest solo spots, be sure to show them some love over at their channels!
