It sounds like it keeps getting higher in tone

[Oz the Gay and Powerful]

But it's not. Argh what do you call that

[StarFox]

Holy crap, I'm confused now.

[Bradlestix]

Lol, as soon as I read the thread title I thought, "Super Mario 64". Not sure what the effect is called though.

[Zondekel]

Yeah, I listened to this when I first put it on my iPod years ago, over and over and over again trying to figure out the loop point, and how Kondo wrote it so it sounds like it's continuously getting higher... I still have no idea how he did it.

[Solid Snix]

*****ing sounding like it gets higher in tone, how does it work?

[TRBB]

It loops at 8 seconds.

[Zy0n7]

I guess it produces that effect by being a short tone followed by another... it's similar to when you can't stop hearing a clock go tick-tack, when in fact in only does tick all the time, the tack is just your mind playing tricks.

This song used to scare me. Actually, scratch that, lots of video game stuff scared me when I was younger. Even Inviso from Yoshi's Story!
