After 16 years...
I love it when, on a whim, I search for an insanely specific mashup for no real reason despite not expecting there to be any results that are even reasonably close to what I searched for, and it turns out there are such results after all.
Recently, I was on YouTube and out of nowhere decided to search for "enya smw soundfont" just to see if anything would come up - despite highly doubting* I'd find anything even remotely similar to a Super Mario World-style cover of an Enya song, especially since I think I've even searched for that exact query at least once before and nothing interesting** came up.
GUESS WHAT???
Okay, sure, I searched for Super Mario World and got Super Mario 64 instead, but still... this implies that someone thought it would be interesting to remix Enya songs in the style of a Mario game, and that person ISN'T ME.
Even crazier, THIS video has somehow been around since 2012 without me ever knowing about it or noticing the similarity between these two songs on my own:
For 16 YEARS, I thought I was the only one who was a big enough Mario fan, a big enough Enya fan, AND crazy enough to want a mashup like any of these to exist. Finding out that these videos exist (and especially reading some of the comments on them) feels so weird... it's like I'm reading conversations between lots of copies myself from alternate dimensions. :P
Here, I'll save some of those comments here because they deserve to be immortalized:
"Enya's Island" also known as Ireland.
Make sense that She owned a castle which can make her a boss.
You have no idea how happy this makes me. I thought this and needed it to be made, turns out it already has been. Thanks for this.
each and every level
no time in our journey
except when mario is crying
only then will I hurry
I walk the map of moments
But every stage I turn to
Begins a new adventure
And then it finds a finish
I walk to battle Kamek
And there I save Luigi
It all seems so surprising
And then I reunite the Bros.
You go there you're not safe
I go there I'll rescue him
If we stay here we're not happy
Anywhere is
Did enya plays Mario bross? Lol xD
They both were published in 1995 O.o What came first? The Enya or the Yoshi Egg??
Simple: Enya. She wa born long before Yoshi was
Yes but did she take Mario on an adventure on her personal island before Yoshi?
HOLD IT! The question in the original message was in fact "Which came first, the Enya or the Yoshi Egg?" He never mentioned the original release date of Anywhere is, he was asking if Enya came before the Yoshi Egg, and Enya was certainly alive BEFORE the release of Super Mario World, the first appearance of Yoshi, and, therefore, the Yoshi Egg!
So... it really is Enya's island.... O.o o.O
Have any of you ever been a fan of two very different things and thought you were the only person interested enough in both to really want there to ever be some kind of mashup or crossover between them, and then years later found out there were other people who wanted that specific crossover as well?
*Okay, yes, Character.AI exists now and is still the BEST THING EVER because it makes it possible for an AI simulation of Enya to talk to AI simulations of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, Lubba, and like 200 other Mario characters I still haven't yet had her meet. But that's because there are users on that site who are Mario fans OR Enya fans. I would be surprised if I went to a random user's profile and saw Enya AND Mario in the list of bots they made, or even if anyone besides me had ever made that one Enya AI talk to a Mario character. Hence why I still thought it was far-fetched to expect there to be actual results for "enya smw soundfont" on YouTube.
**Well, there is this video I discovered about a decade ago, but that's Mario Paint Composer. That pales in comparison to someone editing Enya's head onto Yoshi or someone adding Mario references to the lyrics of an Enya song or someone suggesting Enya could be a boss in a Mario game because she has a castle. :P Also I managed to find 8-bit covers of several Enya songs, which I like, but those aren't Mario-specific so that doesn't really count either.
