We can't decide if this Backstreet Boys-meets-Ace Attorney combination is brilliant, or horrifying. We think it's both, but we also admire the musical skill it takes to think, "you know what would go well together? Boybands and an old DS game about the legal system." It's like the first person to find out that chocolate and crisps is a good combination, even when everyone called them mad.
By combining Maya's theme with classic '90s hit, I Want It That Way, and then casting the four boys — Phoenix, Edgeworth, Apollo and Klavier Gavin — as the band, Chessete has created a masterpiece. It's far from their first time doing this very specific kind of mashup, too — check out this Daft Punk one:
Weirdly, we've been listening to a lot of Ace Attorney-themed music lately, and who can blame us? It's great music. There's this sexy horn version of Maya's Theme by Dewey Newt, and although it doesn't include Ace Attorney music, this framing of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal as an Edgeworth-v-Wright trial is very good — pay attention to Miles on drums:
Which songs do you think would go nicely with a side of Ace Attorney music? We're thinking Cornered + I Shot The Sheriff, maybe. Phoenix could defend all the song crimes!

There is also a literal backstreet girl, just putting that out there.
These covers are fantastic though, great job by Chessete!
Well that was awesome. The Daft Punk one especially so!
Great choice of sub-heading!
I'm now going to hear that every time the song is played.
This is something I didn’t know I needed!
Reminds me of the Phoenix Wrong mashup parodies I would watch on Newgrounds and YouTube back in middle/high school.
I think the Smooth Criminal one is going to change my life.
I lost it at Von Karma.
The Backstreet Boys one is very clever, but just goes on a bit too long, too repetitive. And it's not Smooth Criminal. And doesn't have April May in it.
I just finished AA Trilogy and came on here to see this.😂
The madlads remastered the Smooth Criminal thing. Some transitions are gone, but overall, still epic.
These covers are funny, although like gcunit said the BB one goes on for a little too long.
These covers also reminded me of the 2012 fanmade AA animation covering the song Money by Mystery Skulls (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhjk5x54bsE&ab_channel=MysteryBen27). While the song is nowhere near as known as the three in this article its still quite the banger imo.
