Is this the worst remix ever?
- Thread starter Xavi

I was gonna raise you this:
But uh, yeah, having been reminded of that Sonic Chronicles abomination, I don't think there's any other option.

I literally clicked on this thread to say that whatever you were posting is not nearly as bad as that Sonic Chronicles town theme.

I always get the feeling that something is missing, the sound is this close to become something epic but then it takes a different turn. I don't like, it could be used for other moment
I wasn't a fan of a lot of the Pokemon ORAS remixes. The new sounds just ruined a lot of the nuance of the original music. It's like they just started layering on random instruments and tracks just because the HW supported it.
For instance, the original legendary theme. Notice the incredible build up in the beginning of the song
Notice how that's completely changed
It's even worse when it comes to the Aqua/Magma boss themes

That Sonic Chronicles version sounds like something made with this toy piano I had when I was like 8.
What the heck? That's one of the best Smash Bros Brawl arrangements.
And that's another of the best from Smash 4! I love the out there arrangements like that.
Never understood the hate this got either. That's one of the few good songs from that MVC.
Not the worst ever (that probably goes to the song posted in the OP) but the previous post about Cynthia's theme reminded me of this.
You might think it's not so bad, but listen to what happens after 50 seconds or so...
Man, they really did pay Akon to hop on the track and add literally nothing to it
Sonic Chronicles is exactly what I came in this thread to post so I'll try to contribute with something else
Juri's Street Fighter IV theme:
And now her awful Street Fighter V remix:
Where's the menace? The intimidation? The actual fucking music?

Such a weird misfire. Hideyuki Fukasawa was firing on all cylinders by the end of the PS3/360 era, but then he went more techno/dubstep for the majority of his tracks for SF5 to varying degrees of success. Cammy's theme is good, Dictator's grew on me, Brazil stage is fun, China and Russia stages are solid but not excellent, Laura's theme doesn't seem to have much going for it, Seth's theme is like he retried what he did with Juri's theme but with better/more fitting results Maybe it was to differentiate it from SF4's sound, but idk, he's capable of much better. Rashid's theme is proof of that.
Diamond Dust in Sonic Chronicles sounds like a first draft of Rugrats background music. The only thing that beats it in terms of awfulness is Nocturne from the same game.
I submit for consideration "Why" from I Scream! PaRappa & PJ. Not only is it using the instrumental from what was already the most terrible song in the series, PaRappa's version of Taste of Teriyaki, the inane vocals are some of the worst ever pressed to disc. I dare anyone to make it past the chorus at 0:56 without cringing.

Pfft, I bet I can top the OP by posting something from Sonic and the Dark...
Ohhhhhh.
Ohhhhhh.
They accidentally recorded someone sweeping the floor it seems
Wow, someone managed to post Nocturne before I could! Also tagging Nocturnowl since he knows the score.
the rumor from what I hear is that Bioware found out late that they didn't have the rights to use any of the Sonic music, so they scrambled for substitutes at the last minute
It's like he's really good at new compositions but continuously misses the mark when it comes to remixes. It was mostly the same in MVC3, new characters had great themes but a few of the remixes were ehhh...
Which reminds me, I hate this remix of The Rising Sun from Okami:
And the absolutely beautiful original:
Chronicles' is definitely the worst but I'll offer this one anyway:

SNES version:
As a bonus, this version came out around the same time as the SNES one:

Yeah, this was the talk at the time. I feel like traces of the original soundtrack were found somewhere. It has to be something like this. There's no other reasonable explanation for the music being so bad.
Oh I remember this one. It's like someone took the MIDI file and replaced every instrument, including the percussion, with frenchhorn.wav
I dunno. I remember once someone combined the Beverly Hills Cop theme song with a kid making dirt bike sounds with his mouth, and it became a bit of a thing despite being awful.

That's not even the worst remix from that game, OP. That's the sad part.
There it is
There it is
I'm all for Smash remixes, but...
2:22 in the video.
Sticking to Smash, I'll add my own to the pile of worst remixes.
Crash Man Stage
How did they turn such a quirky and upbeat tune into this spacey junk?
Fire Man Stage may be worse. Not a fan at all of this remix.
I agree with this one. I've probably got this one set to 0 in the game. Just too random for me. And there are like a dozen other more serviceable remixes of this same track in the game already.
Piano is a bit too midi, even for me. But I hadn't heard the original, so it's okay by me. But then I heard the Pokemon Masters version, and now I think this one is better than the one Smash got.

"Worst ever", no. But I can't forgive this weak sauce.
2:22 in the video.
Yeah, that part at 50 seconds isn't great. But I think the rest still holds up.
I also had not heard the original version of this one and had always heard only the remix, so I'm okay with this one.

Lmao! This is so bad it wraps around to be great for all the wrong reasons.
