oops, only jazz (covers)

so i was scrolling around youtube for mario kart world arrangements since i heard that a lot of the classic songs have been made into jazzy versions, and WOW, we need more jazzy stuff in mario kart and in video games in general because i think there is an untapped market there

I love it when people cover songs in a different music style. The songs change so dramatically! Have you heard the jazz version of Anarchy Rainbow (from Splatoon) for example? it's amazing how the vibe changes!

Jazz covers, ya say? How about Monster Hunter?

If you prefer the songs individually, here's a playlist instead.

Then there's the Consouls, who do fantastic jazz covers of (mostly) video game music, but recently did a bunch of Studio Ghibli jazz covers

another one has graced my youtube feed, and i am so glad for it because it fits the vibe so well

I heard it ingame! it's such a dirty funk (in the best way possible)

i was recently made aware that this exists, and like... wow, we REALLY need some good jazz in video game soundtracks innately

So, a lot of Japanese music, especially the stuff used in anime and video games, is built on jazz fundamentals, which is why it's so easy to make a good jazz cover of just about all of it.
There are some games that just straight up use jazz for their soundtracks, but I agree we do need more of that.

There's also a lot of official jazz arranges out there, which always makes me happy
