I shared this during the last EarthBound Central live stream, but it’s awesome enough that I want to share it here on the site too!
Basically, the EarthBound Zero / MOTHER 1 remake hack for the EarthBound ROM is making significant progress, and vince94 recently did a custom version of Pollyanna for the hack, using EarthBound’s music engine. It turned out amazing:

This is too good! I bow to you, vince94!
EDIT: The basic arrangement was inspired by a remix by Nelward Music on YouTube, which you can check out here!

This MP3 was actually made by a guy named Nelward Music on YouTube, and I commented on his video, asking him if I could cover it in EBMusEd for the Mother Remake.
He never responded, but I ended up drawing from a bunch of other versions of the song too, so as to not steal the arrangement from him outright, LOL.
The final version that I made is here – https://youtu.be/sKR0KfZZ1xI

Sorry for the confusion! I don’t want to take credit for this guy’s arrangement.
Could you edit this to give him credit/link to the version that I did?
Thanks for the update, vince94…I actually like your final version better than this one. 😀

Here’s an MP3 of my version so you can put it up – https://www.dropbox.com/s/hffvxcodbu7xxvb/Pollyanna.mp3?dl=0
The Mother 1 remake hack believes the morning sun always gonna shine again. Speaking of that song, you totally took the little guitar from the end of it. xD I’ve heard that version of the song so many times, there’s no way I wouldn’t notice that, lol!
it sounds so authentic, I almost feel like I’ve already heard it before in the games. fantastic work
Outstanding, I would easilly believe it’s an unused tracked if you told me so!
Looooove it. Pollyanna is one of my most favorite songs ever.
The much older Bein’ Friends is really good too.
That’s amazing. That has to be one of the most accurate EarthBound style remixes of Pollyanna I’ve ever heard! As someone who loved the 8-bit original rendition, let me just say this is an incredible remix!
With those instruments it sounds just sounds… too much like EarthBound music. I feel like this game is trying too hard to turn MOTHER 1 into an EarthBound-like experience, and in doing so is robbing it of it’s unique charm.
@Matt It’s running in Earthbound’s engine so it’s gotta use the same kind of instruments and stuff. At least, I think that’s how it works.
Either way, that’s kind of the whole point of the mod anyway.
If that song is playing I’m gonna be standing in one place for a while just listening to that awesome song.

Thanks for giving me credit!
I love the way this arrangement includes the background “dooweeooweeoo’s” from the version from the OST…
LOVE IT. I really can’t wait to play this.
