58. Persona 3, Katamari Damacy: The Katamari for Everyone's Souls
Nominated By: Kleenex
We are moved to tears by the size of this remix.
Mashed-up by our very own Ed Bellis, The Katamari for Everyone's Souls is an odd duck. There are some parts of it where the songs match up shockingly well, and those parts are pretty cool. Actually, in general, the songs work as good complements to each other.
When you get past 'in general', you run into a problem; namely, the original Katamari song being extremely hectic and having a million things going on. It wasn't really meant to be mashed up with anything. BFES isn't a particularly mellow song either, so there are times when the two songs are just fighting over supremacy of the mashup, and it breaks the rhythm of the whole thing.
In short, this song is equal parts bad and good, hence the rating. Above all else, it's neat, and I'm glad it exists.
57. Chrono Chross: xKore - Chrono Cross
Nominated By: SSBDarren64
This is another remix that is barely a remix. Scars of Time (at least i think it's Scars, it could be Time of the Dreamwatch or Dreams of the Shore, but it does it really matter?) is absolutely dominated by the trance in this thing; for the first 1:20, there is nothing that even remotely sounds like anything related to Chrono Cross. The song improves a bit when the CC notes start playing, but even then it just sounds like generic trance with CC notes thrown in the middle. That is still better than 39 items on this list.

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.
