Today’s broadcast is C1E95 for VibeOff Vrijdag, May 9th, 2025. Today’s broadcast will be a one-time-only special twist on a FaceOff Friday, where, instead of comparing different versions of the same track against each other, we're comparing pairs (and occasionally trios) of different songs against each other which either have similar movements, or melodies, or instrumentation, or simply just vibes and asking you, the listener to not only tell us which one you like better, but whether or not the comparisons are even valid, and how strongly or weakly if so. So, in lieu of an 8th and final FaceOff Friday episode, Nerd Noise Radio is pleased to present: VibeOff Vrijdag (Vrijdag = the Dutch word for Friday). See the show notes for a link to a document which will allow you to grade me on these comparisons if you so choose!    Tracklist: Vibe-Off# - Timestamps  Track# - Track - Game - System(s) - Composer - Timestamp     Intro - 00:00:00  VIBE-OFF A: 00:06:25 - 00:14:12  1) Mission 2 – Double Dragon II – Mega Drive – c: Kazunaka Yamane / a: Hitoshi Sakimoto – 00:06:25  2) The Mall - Skate or Die 2 – NES – Rob Hubbard – 00:08:52  3) Surface of SR388 - Metroid 2 – Game Boy - Ryōji Yoshitomi – 00:12:00  VIBE-OFF B: 00:14:12 – 00:17:23  1) Springfield Butte - The Simpsons – Arcade – Norio Hanzawa – 00:14:12  2) Evil Dante - Cratermaze – TG16 – c: Kenji Yoshida and/or Hiroshi Funaba / a: Toshiaki Takimoto, Katsunori Takahashi, Takayuki Iwabuchi, and/or Keita Hoshi – 00:15:44  VIBE-OFF C: 00:17:23 – 00:20:56  1) BGM 2 – Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf – Genesis - Tokuhiko Uwabo – 00:17:23  2) Results Parade – Check Mii Out Channel – Wii – Kazumi Totaka – 00:18:53  VIBE-OFF D: 00:20:56 – 00:25:47  1) Boss – Black Belt – Master System – Katsuhiro Hayashi – 00:20:56  2) Wily's Castle 1 – Mega Man 2 – NES – Takashi Tateishi – 00:23:16  VIBE-OFF E: 00:25:47 – 00:28:08  1) Promoted Attack – Shining Force II – Genesis - Motoaki Takenouchi – 00:25:47  2) Course Select – Star Fox – SNES - Hajime Hirasawa – 00:26:58  VIBE-OFF F: 00:28:05 – 00:33:12  1) Stage 5-2 – Rocket Knight Adventures – Genesis - Masanori Ohuchi, Aki Hata, Masanori Adachi, Hiroshi Kobayashi, and/or Michiru Yamane – 00:28:05  2) Mellow Groove – ToeJam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron – Genesis – John Baker – 00:31:26  VIBE-OFF G: 00:33:12 – 00:39:19  1) Dilapidated Town – Streets of Rage – Genesis – Yuzo Koshiro – 00:33:12  2) Blue Blue Moon – Super Adventure Island – SNES – Yuzo Koshiro – 00:36:37  VIBE-OFF H: 00:39:19 – 00:46:41  1) Aqua and Trees – Tobal No. 1 – PS1 - Masashi Hamauzu, Junya Nakano, Yasuhiro Kawakami, Kenji Ito, and/or Ryuji Sasai – 00:39:19  2) Rikuo – Night Warriors – Darkstalkers' Revenge – Multiplatform  - Takayuki Iwai, Hideki Okugawa, and/or Akari Kaida – 00:42:24  3) Gong Shun Sheng – Dark Legend – Saturn – c: Shogo Sakai, Taihei Sato, Hiroaki Yoshida, and/or Tatsuya Kiuchi / a: Seiichi Hamada – 00:44:07  VIBE-OFF I: 00:46:41 – 00:50:02  1) Tetramix A – Tetris (SEGA) - Arcade – Yasuhiro Kawakami and/or Katsumi Tojo – 00:46:41  2) Stage 1-4 – Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine – Genesis - Masanori Hikichi, and/or Masayuki Nagao – 00:48:26  VIBE-OFF J: 00:50:02 – 00:53:49  1) Float Islands – Kirby Super Star – SNES - Jun Ishikawa,  and/or Dan Miyakawa – 00:50:02  2) Frappe Snowland / Sherbet Land – Mario Kart 64 – N64 - Kenta Nagata – 00:51:32  VIBE-OFF K: 00:53:49 – 00:59:02  1) Main Theme – Space Harrier – Master System – c: Hiroshi Kawaguchi / a: Tokuhiko Uwabo  - 00:53:49  2) Elec Man – Mega Man – NES - Manami Matsumae and/or Yoshihiro Sakaguchi – 00:56:57  VIBE-OFF L: 00:59:02 – 01:01:59  1) Battle Through a Living Starship – Uncanny X-Men – NES - Kinuyo Yamashita and/or Satoe Terashima – 00:59:02  2) Stage Theme 2 – Wrath of the Black Manta – NES - Yoki Shinjyuku – 01:00:49  VIBE-OFF M: 01:01:59 – 01:05:52  1) Temple – Spellcaster – Master System - Sachio Ogawa – 01:01:59  2) Gemini Man – Mega Man 3 – NES – Yasuaki Fujita – 01:03:54  VIBE-OFF N
