We've seen some interesting 8-bit musical adaptations before, but Japanese beatboxer Hikakin has done the reverse, emulating classic Mushroom Kingdom melodies with nothing more than his mouth / throat combination. It's Rahzel meets Miyamoto in this incredibly impressive display of vocal virtuosity.
Check out his recently posted video and marvel at this unplugged sound sensation.

pretty good
i saw this on gamesradar earlyer today, and that guy is an amazing beat boxer
He should be on Japan Gots Talent lol

Wow.
freakin crazy!
He is a good beatboxer, but to be honest, the lead parts of the tunes sound just wierd.
I wonder if someone can Rap to that beat?
hmm, no credit, huh?
lol our good friend Turtlelink showed this to us just a few hours ago. quite awsome indeed.
I love how he speeds up at the end.

@turtlelink Actually, our senior editors proofread, revise, improve and approve everything before it appears on the site.
Ok. You win this time, Mods!!! We will rebel though! >:3
@turtlelink Can't we just all be friends?
Wow(in a non-sarcastic way).
Pretty incredible. It reminds me of the beatboxing flute guy.
Ha, ha, he busts out a Super Mario World tune half way through too.
Very impressive.
@Klapaucius & Gabe Greens: Ace Attorney I didn't know we had any celebrities on our message boards! Ladies and gentlemen, Simon Cowell & Simon Cowell.
Niiiice!
AWESOME!
@Klapaucius
That goes for you too, Gabe. All in the name of fun.
Isn't that Japan's national anthem? If not, it could be...
Equal parts the most brilliant and hilarious thing I've heard all day.
Rahzel's a clown imo. So many better names out there.
"I'm on a Twix commercial and I have horribly disfigured teeth! I deserve to be famous covering other people's work!"
@Swerd_Murd And what of "If Your Mother Only Knew"? I don't know whether or not it's a cover, but have you heard his version? Or his newer version, which you can see on YouTube? Nice.
That was great, I like when he started doing the song from Super Mario World.
That was the most AMAZING thing I have seen. I wish I could do that...
Whoa...I'm speechless...
I love the underground bits, the one after he taps his chest... how the hell!?
I beatbox, but NOT as good as that.
