Submission for : Alternative Soundtrack - music jam #3

First time composing a  chiptune track.

To capture the vibe of the 1985 Super Mario Bros., I used only one plugin for the entire track: Chipsound from Plogue. This plugin samples real chips from consoles back in the day, allowing me to recreate the original texture as closely as possible to what we were limited to back then.

I crafted a unique rhythmic bass line as the main vibe of the track, adding high-pitched arpeggios to mimic a mining effect. I also incorporated occasional odd harmonies to break away from a perfectly tonal sound.

I experimented with different song structures, starting with a more legato section, then jumping to a contrasting rhythmic section before returning to the original vibe of the song.
