Newgrounds constantly uploaded flash videos of different kinds and in 2007 we got a video called Rawest Forest, it’s been ten years and it’s still as great as it was back then. If you never played Super Mario RPG, it was an amazing game released at the end of the SNES’ life but it had a big impact on those who played it. It basically made RPGs be my favorite genre for many years. The music was also excellent and in particular you had one as you made your way through Geno’s Maze which is the background music of this video “Rawest Forest”.
The lyrics itself reference the whole game as well as point out some of the games quirks. The flash animation has a certain charm and while it isn’t the best it’s still really nice and has a nice style. And is able to feel epic at the same time, nicely done for a mostly comedic video. The creator of the video didn’t actually have anything to do with the song and mainly made the animation. Like the Star Wars Gangsta Rap the creator eventually made a sequel that while technically more impressive it’s not as good as the original.
Super Mario RPG: Waltz of the Forest
It has it’s own special charm and the flash animation is really impressive, he really learned a lot int he past few years. The lyrics are clever but they just miss something, like any band when something is overproduced it loses its magic. Lyrics below:

Lately’s been a boredom and lack of interest
Little cats call us fags and incestuous
Italian guy, gotta buy some time to blast right past
Rescue the captive princesses
Koopas and Gombas, them I laugh at
I’ma hit “A” to raise the level of attacks
Don’t fight the poverty, but hey! Kids that are lonely can
Drop it and play my game to get their bodies to act glad[Verse 4]

Waltz of the Forest Lyrics:
Super Mario-Oh RPG
Super Mario-Oh RPG
Super Mario-Oh RPGYo, Yo, You’re trapped in this place
make no mistake
or you’ll never escapeSuper Mario-oh RPG
If I could ask you to play with me.
Only if it wasn’t a one-player game.
Something about it just isn’t the same.Entering the forest came with ease.
Now that I’m lost someone help me please!
How can I remember what brought me here.
There is a story to tell, lend an ear.Once upon a trip a giant sword came down and ripped
Apart a Road that’s made of Stars, then they scattered to afar.
Mario and all the crew, on adventure found a-new.
Follow them as they continue on a quest to save me and YOU!(Listen to me)
There are many secrets in this land,
Up in the clouds or beneath the sand,
Deep within this labyrinth there is place,
If you go looking you might go insane.Exiting the forest is very simple
Follow the patterns on and on again…
(Exiting the forest is super simple)
Or you’ll never find what you call home…
(Listen to me or you’ll regret it someday)
Follow Geno’s route here…
Follow Geno’s route here…
Follow Geno’s route here…
Follow Geno.(Follow Geno Now): Piano Solo:
Super Mario-oh RPG
This is a game just for you and me.
When you find yourself in a miserable haze.
It’s all because of the Forest Maze.
Exiting the forest is super simple:
All you do is follow these path turns
(Exiting the forest is super simple)
For the rest of your gaming life…
(Listen to me or you’ll regret it someday)
Follow Geno’s route here…
Follow Geno’s route here…
Follow Geno’s route here…
Follow Geno.I’m a gaming god.
