Many GameXplain videos in the last few years have featured custom intros covering certain game series, all created by Jan Neves, known for 3D animation. Most of these intros had royalty-free or public domain jingles. Starting in 2022, I began composing original jingles for some of these intros in various game styles. This second set features short compositions inspired by Paper Mario, Metroid, and Sonic. Each jingle here is presented with music only first, and then repeating with sound effects for full context.

First used for content relating to the remake of The Thousand-Year Door, the Paper Mario jingle takes style cues from early Paper Mario titles. The Metroid jingle is reminiscent of the themes from Metroid's Brinstar and the theme of Super Metroid, with some instrumentation from Metroid Prime series, made in advance for upcoming Metroid Prime 4 videos. The Sonic jingle is a love letter to the classic Sonic the Hedgehog series with its new jack swing style—complete with FM synthesis samples—in combination with rock guitar akin to that in modern Sonic games. Please enjoy the intro jingles from this set. There may be even more of these to come!
