Tired of that muffled SNES sound and want to hear your favorite SNES songs in crispy clear quality? Well, purists, look away, here come the Ultra HD Remasters!
Specifically, I've rendered the songs out with no interpolation (that's what makes the SNES sound "fuzzy") and at 192KHz, added some subtle effects to ease the stereo panning, and then run it through LANDR to get that professionally mastered sound.
This is NOT faithful to original hardware and may not be as the original composers intended it to sound.
Original song by Tim and Geoff Follin, aka the chiptune gods!
Remaster by rchrdcrg.
As a thank you for this being such a huge view getter, here's a half-hearted attempt at the Beach theme for anyone who wants to listen: drive.google.com/file/d/1Z5Cag4RtLtrJ-4Cv7MLUDwzrA…
Some day I'll do a better one!

Song goes from "I'm trapped in a facility with monsters" to "These monsters are trapped in a facility with ME"
-
Whenever the Follin Bros make a soundtrack for a game like this, it’s like Cthulhu going to Costco to pick up milk.
-
-We need a family friendly boss theme -Violent synthwave theme, got it !
-
Jesus Christ Tim, it's Plok, no need to turn this into Hotline Miami.
-
From "This house is crawling with monsters!" to "But man is the real monster all along."
-
This song goes from "2 spooky 4 me" to "Do you like hurting other people?"
-
This song has no reason to slap this hard, but it does. It really pushed the SNES' soundchip, it feels like.
-
Plokline Miami. ...I'm sorry.
-
Not only was Plok's soundtrack ahead of its time in obvious technical aspects, but I feel it was pretty experimental in its usage of genres and styles; I mean, this could probably pass as a fan made 16 bit remix of an obscure modern day synthwave song in the vein of artists like Carpenter Brut or Pertubator, it's so different from much of the music in games at the time. This is also present in other tracks like the Beach theme (which I'd LOVE to hear get the same treatment), but it's most obvious here.

Quick reminder that Tim Follin hates video games and still produces absolute bangers
-
You give Tim Follin an NES soundchip and he becomes an all time great. You give Tim an SNES soundchip, however... and he becomes a GOD.
-
This went from "Goin Trick r' Treating with my friends!" to "SOMEWHERE IN NEVADA"

Fun fact: Plok! Boss Theme inspired many Japanese game devs, notably Hidetaka Miyazaki mentioned in a recent interview the theme was his inspiration while creating Hotline Souls: 54, Yharnam Streets.
-
Normally I prefer the SNES compression, but this song bangs so damn hard it deserves crystal clarity. Excellent work.
-
this goes from spooky haunted house to POLICE ASSAULT IN PROGRESS real fast
-
First part: "Oh no! What am i gonna do against this guy? I'm toast!" The rest: "I'd tell you to start praying, but not even that will help you."
-
Anything Tim Follin did is basically food for your ears. Now eat up, children.

This is nuts, I never expected this many views on anything ever, let alone this! Shout out to the Follin Bros for all the amazing tunes they gave us growing up, and thank you to everyone checking this out! I absolutely love the "starts as this, becomes this" meme going on in the comments! Thanks for making this my first YT video where I actually got the experience of being a YouTuber... It's been so much fun reading all these comments!
