Name That Tune Contest: Episode X - Rareware Edition


Hello here is a new tune contest huuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! This time we have music from all Rare (previously Rareware) developed games! You know the drill, guess the tunes and you'll get some shiny stars in your inbox. For further information about rules though, check below. Good luck people and enjoy!


 

To Enter


All you have to do is listen to the 25 music clips in the above YouTube video, and tell me which game they come from. PM me (Marzy) your entry! Do not post your answers in this thread or anywhere else on the forum. Please title your PM something relevant, like "Contest Entry from (your username)", and if you don't have an answer for a clip, leave it blank (but guessing is always wise!).

Example:
1. Tetris
2. Super Mario 64
3.
4. Donkey Kong Land

Scoring


1 point for a correctly guessed game.

There are no half-points in this edition. You must guess the exact game correctly.

There's no penalty for a wrong answer, so just guess if you don't know! You could get lucky!

Prizes


Stars are the rewards. Everyone finishing in the top 5 will receive a set amount of stars. Anyone that finishes outside of the top 5 will receive 1 star for participating.

1st place - 20 stars
2nd place - 10 stars
3rd place - 5 stars
4th place - 3 stars
5th place - 2 stars

Closing Date


Sunday, 15th February, 2015.

Rules, Tips and Notes


1. This edition has the theme of the British game company Rare (Rareware). Every track is from a game created by Rare and any consoles they've developed games on.

2. Do not post your answers in this thread or elsewhere on the forum. PM me (Marzy) your answers.

3. No asking for answers or discussing the answers with others on here. That would be completely unfair for those genuinely trying hard. Anyone caught cheating will be disqualified.

4. If you want to submit a correction, you can. Just PM me again with your updated answers.

5. In the events of equal scores, whoever PM'd me first will be taken into consideration as to who wins. Your most recently-submitted entry will be taken if you corrected something, so bear this in mind.

6. If a song has appeared in more than one game, post the instance that this version appears from. If the version is in more than one game, posting any of the games it appears in is acceptable.

7. Don't worry if you think you cannot guess them all. Do your best and take a guess; there is no penalty for a wrong answer, so you could get lucky and get it right! There are no half-points in this edition - you must guess the exact game correctly.

8. No extra credit is given to guessing the name of the song. It would make it more difficult to guess the song name, so just the name of the game only please!

9. Be exact in your answer. If the game is a sequel, include the full title, sequel number or subtitle.

10. I will announce the winners in this thread as soon as I've counted up the scores after the contest ends.

Nice, Marzy. Very tough haha.

I will defo put an entry in this week.

Yeah, first thing I'm going to say here is sorry for the toughness of it. This is my first time making one of these and I realise I made it too tough after seeing the Zelda results come in. ^^;

Good luck to everyone! Don't worry about scoring low! Just have a guess and have some fun.

Squeezed in a few guesses to complete my list but I submitted my own Smilie. I'm affraid I haven't played as many Rare games as I would like (though played quite a lot though !)

Submitted though I have many blanks on mine as I simply couldn't even think of what to put haha. I'm very confident on most of the ones I did write down, though a couple are guesses. Smilie

Oooh! Just spotted this, will enter. Nice one Mr Marrs!

I do hope a lot of people entered this, nobody else came to post in it. Come one, come all, take part while there's still time left ^^ !

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

I only have 3 entries so far. Rudy, Az and Ifrit.

So yeah, be sure to enter if you haven't yet!

Alright, results are in! Check the opening posts for the results.

OMG, I can't believe I accidentally put Donkey Kong Racing instead of Diddy. Would have gotten 6 points then. Smilie Dang it. Was tough but still enjoyed it. Thanks Marz.

Aww man, some of them answers!

Really pleased with that tbh. I swear down the DKR ones sounded different, so went with the DS version. And Perfect Dark/Goldeneye sounds similar, so that was hard when I wasn't sure I'd heard one of them in Goldeneye before. And then the Kameo, Viva Pinata and Jet Force were blind guesses that I could have got more lucky on, but no complaints.

Just pleased to make sure I got all the DK and Banjo ones right lol.

I cannot believe I got Kinect Sports right, fucking hilarious.

Ifrit - bloody hell, that's a bit harsh Marzy haha. I remember Andre put something like "Phantom Train" instead of Spirit Tracks in my Zelda one, but gave him the point because I knew which game he meant. But hey, you're the boss XD

I enjoyed it. Hope you have another lined up, please : D

( Edited 15.02.2015 20:37 by Azuardo )

Yeah! I felt so bad about that! Because I knew you meant Diddy Kong Racing, but I had to stick to the rules. Smilie
No problem! Smilie Glad you had fun with it and you got 5 stars for coming 3rd! Smilie

Oh Marzy, if you want me to hand the stars out for you through the batch method that staff have, I can do.

Yeah, It'd take me two, maybe three weeks if I handed stars out myself. x)

Thanks Smilie

Yeah, I was going to actually, but then I though I should probably stick to the rules after some thought. He got it right though, so 6 points for Ifrit. I don't have another lined up at the moment, been busy this weekend. Been hard trying to think of good themes, too.

That's shocking that. Thought you had SEGA lined up. Just blitz any old thing lol.

Haha thx for the extra point. Smilie

I guessed the Kinect Sports track as Donkey Kong 64 XD Not played either.

I also knew 25 but forgot to write it. Need to pay more attention to what I put down in future. Looking forward to whatever else you have in mind. Smilie

Well I never played any of the Rare games on XBox 360 so I don't have to be ashamed of not getting those right Smilie. That 21 though, I couldn't remember it AT ALL from the N64 version of Diddy Kong Racing so I threw in Diddy Kong Racing DS, thinking it sounded very "Diddy Kong Racing-ey" but that it must be from the DS version which I barely touched cause i didn't like the controls. But hey I got everything else right at least Smilie.

It's a shame we didn't get more people entering though :/.

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

Yeah, I think this was fair because I've never owned any Xbox consoles lol.

I thought both DKR tracks sounded very 'DS-like' so went with DS for both of them :L

It is a shame more people don't play, but the ones that do play really enjoy it, so that's the main thing.

Our member of the week

I should do one soon too, but I always end up making those even tougher XD, and if it's me doing it, it will mostly be games for Nintendo consoles exclusively Smilie.

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

Yeah, I think Marzy said he'll make sure it's Nintendo only in future.

I'd still totally be up for an FF one that covers anything.

Maybe we could do an FF one from only Nintendo platforms. Still very feasible.

But I like the idea of themes, whatever they may be. Does help to keep the mind in check, rather than having to think so broadly.

Our member of the week

Would be for another one than me to do then, cause I haven't played such things as Theatrhythm and other spin offs Smilie, so I wouldn't know exactly what to pick to avoid making it too complicated.

One I could do easily is a Castlevania one, but then little to no people would want to enter, as that's probably not the series with the most fans Smilie, and I feel like an exception for having played pretty much every game in the "classic" series..

Cubed3 Limited Staff :: Review and Feature Writer

Get hyped!

I'll be putting up a new tune contest on Saturday! Smilie

Our member of the week

Looking forward to that Marzipan Smilie !! I AM hyped Smilie !!
