Music Guessing Contest (2?) | Results

Postby cato » Sat Nov 09, 2019 2:23 am

Hi! In July 2019, the first Music guessing contest was organized by Sancles-Chan. As the winner of that contest, hereby I will be hosting a second one at the end of 2019.

-- What is this? --
The download link at the bottom of this post has a zip file with 50 different video game songs, you are supposed to guess the games which these songs are from, unlike last time, there is 3 intruder.
You guess by guessing The game you think the song is from.

-- Important --
Intruders are songs not used in video games. If the songs are used in a video game while not originated from a video game, it is still an intruder, easily recognised if the creator of those games gives credit to the songs used. Type "Intruder" in the guesses.
Remixes are songs that are remixed. If the remixed songs are not used in a video game while originated from a video game, you cannot guess that song using the original title. However, there are indie games / another series of games that used the remixes. And none of them is intruders.

The point distribution goes as follows:
-2 points for guessing the game a song's from
-1 Point for guessing the series a song's from
-4 Points for finding the intruder
-If you're the only person to recognize a song/series you get double points on it (only +2 in case of the intruder)

You can also ask for up to 2 hints on any song number you want, and you can only ask for 1 hint per song, no more than 2 hints will be given.
Hints may consist of the music description, song descriptions, character descriptions and memes descriptions.
Look for keywords because you can direct / indirectly google those out.
Private message (PM) me to ask me hints.

Improvement from the last contest:
There are 3 intruders instead of one.
Most songs from various games used in the last Music Guessing Contest won't be used in this one.
One series should have only one song. Unlike Mario himself, which has a multiple series, eg: Paper Mario, Mario And Luigi, Super Mario, Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario Sports, Mario Olympics etc.
The difficulty has been reduced because the last one like half the games we don't even know existed. There wouldn't be any single-digit scores because of those level 1 songs

A clear difficulty definition:
Level 1 Song: You should know this by default. If you can't get those right, you are in the wrong forum.
Level 2 Song: You might play this game; you might hear those songs on some levels; those are from popular series and memes that you know.
Level 3 Song: You might accidentally find this while clicking on random playlists; if you are lucky you might hear those songs in some levels; those are absurd songs from notable series.
Level 4 Song: If you are lucky you might come across those games/songs; those aren't even series, but games that are decently popular.
Level 5 Song: Just don't waste your time on those, you don't even know these games' existence; use a hint would be recommended.

-- Any Prizes? --
The winner of the contest will get to host the next one and do whatever they want with it, don't use the same game that I used on this one. And start from song 151.

-- Deadline and Stuff --
The Deadline will be in 3 weeks on November 30th, I will stop the submission on 1st of December at any period due to timezone difference.
Your guesses are to be submitted to me in any way you'd like, just make it readable, please
You can PM them to me on the forums. Due to the timezone difference, I may not be able to respond as quickly as possible. Don't panic though, I will check my SMBX notifications every day.

-- The Songs --
Here's the link to the zip file of all 50 songs: Join the contest for fun lol.

Tfw you thought a song from Monster Girl Quest was from Banjo-Kazooie.

Seriously though, I was surprised that I got some of those more difficult songs right, since they were (more or less) wild guesses. Some I got close to but not quite, and others I was completely off (such as the above example).

Also, how didn't I get 75. I don't understand that.

The I wanna kill the guy song is not originally from a video game, therefore it should count as an intruder.

Well I'll be damned me and Sancles-chan are tied for first. I didn't think I would be first because I barely got any of the 4s and 5s, but I guess I wasn't the only one. :lol:

This quiz was a lot of fun. Song choices were great too.

Usually the winner gets to host the next one. To be honest I would love to host the next one. Sancles-chan what do you think?

Oh, I see. Thanks!

There was a bit of a time gap between this one and the last one, but I'd host the next one a bit sooner. I'll have it done sometime around Christmas or New Year. See you then!

Technically Sancle-Chan should've won, if I haven't cancelled song 89, which would get him an additional 4 point for the only person getting that as the intruder.
But of course, everyone should have a chance to win. That's as much as I wished, the best I can do is to make both tie together. Nevertheless, I have resulted in a happy ending where Sancle-Chan consented and given the opportunity to Jaf to organise to next one.
That's all, if you needed all the hints in my spreadsheet, please tell me.
