All the little sounds that play when you're messing around in a console's menus might not seem all that important at first, until you realise just how much time you spend there. Maybe we're just strange, but we often find ourselves humming along to the familiar 'bleep bloop' of the Switch's menu as you jump in and out of your friends list – a noise that's strangely pleasing despite its simplicity.
It's probably no surprise, then, that taking all of these quirky little sounds and rearranging them into a recreation of the Super Mario theme results in quite the treat.
YouTube user tills chills has done exactly this, recording all the sound effects and jingles you hear when navigating the Switch's menu (like entering the eShop, hitting the 'News' button, going into the controller settings, etc), before pitch shifting or transposing them to recreate a tune we're all familiar with. You can hear the final product below:
It's pretty cool when it gets going, isn't it?
It's the sort of project that sounds like it would be ideal for a flashy presentation of the system's capabilities, or perhaps as countdown music for an E3 conference. We wouldn't mind a remix of the GameCube's excellent boot sequence to get us in the mood for future Directs...

What a banger
This is incredible! Hope this person does other tunes! : )
This is ear porn for me <3
super well done <3
I can't recreate (let alone make) music at all so this is extremely impressive to me.
Try it now. This functionality will be removed in nine days. =>)
That’s a really funky version.
Epic. Start the removal timer!
No matter how cool it is that this is possible, it sounds horrible
This could have sounded much better if he had edited the sounds or used that "wip-waap!" sound that plays when you go to the user page.
What's this tune from? What's a mehryo? I've never heard of it. Nintendo sure hasn't.
...for real tho, it sounds alright.
It... kinda burns my ears a little bit. But hey, it's interesting that they made this. Must have been a real pain in the butt.
@w00dpecker facts
Its really cool that they managed to do this but...I honestly think it was bad. I do respect it for what it is and im sure it took a while to make, just not really a fan
This took some serious skills.. and just to come up with the idea is pretty crazy if you ask me... I like it a lot!!
That double "plink-plink" sound that's used for the single notes..
They definitely should've chopped that in half..
This sounds terrible
Is this a good sign, or a bad sign that I could totally hear the mario theme song of your "bleep bleep" subtitle ?
Not mario theme, but guess this one
"Ta da da daaaaaaaa !!!"
Now according to Youtube traditions, they should recreate Megalovania with the same samples.
Sounds pretty bad to be honest... But still it's cool that someone was able to do it.
Excellent. Did Nintendo leave all these SFX here on purpose knowing that one day this would happen?
Not really that impressed. He is using the original sounds, but is clearly changing the pitch. Basically what a synthesizer does. If he didn't change the pitch I'd be more impressed. I'm also a music guy so.
Peoples is talented
It’s so... squelchy.
Reminds me of the Super Mario RPG soundtrack to be honest. Well, at least the lead (not so much the percussion).
This is really dope.
That is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard!
@DevinRex @ALinkttPresent Lol everyone here either loves it or hates it, there is no in between.
