(aka, can you cheese it and get an identical sound font from a different game and use it)
You can do this.
It should be noted, however, that this is a contest based around how good a song sounds, so if you end up fudging together a really accurate port using similar samples from a different game, it may not fare as well as you'd think.

Yeah, thought so. I mean, this is supposed to be focused around the overall sound and not if it can be insertable to SMW or not, so yeah. Trackers are allowed, though,
Yeah, go for it. The challenge this round is more about sample usage than anything I think, so I don't see why using a tracker would be a problem.

Since you made it to round 2, you get a free pass to round 2. You do not have to enter this round (unless you want to do something for fun??)
Originally posted by MaxodeXDo the requirements allow me to simply use any other samples so long as they weren't ripped from the game?
E: because I originally understood it was supposed to be unsampled, lol
That's correct. You can use any samples you wish as long as they are not from the game you're porting form (and as mentioned above, if you can find similar sounding samples in a different game, all the power to you - however, accuracy doesn't necessarily mean you'll beat out someone who made a really badass remix of another SNES song using non-identical samples).
