Looks like the link to the medley is wrong, which is a shame because it's AMAZING.

Here's the right link to the medley of tunes from Kirby Super Star, Tetris, and Super Mario World.

And yes, it is indeed AMAZING.

The Gerudo Valley one is perfect.

I love how different their faces are while playing, some are deathly serious, some seem quite caught up in the inherent hilarity.

A mariachi version of "Gerudo Valley" is kind of like doing a hip-hop version of "Straight Outta Compton."

Nice! Been playing these for my girlfriend, I hope they keep doing these.

They've rebranded as Mariachi Entertainment system and released two more videos, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - Dragon Roost Island and Sally's Song from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
