If the inverted title wasn't a dead giveaway, yes, this is a companion piece to The Wingless's previous Super Metroid ReMix by the name of 'One Girl in all the World'. The ReMixer writes:
"Again, for effect, the mix I am submitting... is All the World in One Girl, a very light, bubbly, warm piece. One Girl in All the World is dark and flinty, with alot of rain elements. If you hear something that sounds like metroid set to the Sims, you've got the right mix. Simple, yes?"For my money, both mixes offer something different and are worth your time. If you're feeling bubbly and light, perhaps you should sit down for a second. Oh, and listen to this newer second version, which actually reminds me of some incidental BGM in some romantic comedy anime or another; the funky, upbeat B3 organ riffs, playful piano, shuffling, minimal breakbeat, giddy clarinet harmonies, and overall lighthearted nature. There's a couple bits that have some squirreliness around the edges; the transition at 2'54" seems to have a slight delay or hung note, VERY minimal. Most people probably won't even hear that, I don't know why I mentioned it...0'44" in the intro also has an interesting interval going on, though it's also in transition and leads into the next bit. Regardless of these two very subtle quibbles, this is an excellent, unique arrangement for Metroid; it's not every day you hear Samus's tunes get the bubblegum treatment. There's offbeat, almost reggae-inspired synth hits in the intro, the afforementioned clarinet, choir, vibes, some very low-level synth doing a neat little pattern, and in particular I enjoyed paying attention to the organ, both when it's foreground and also when it's meandering sporadically in the background. Different mood for The Wingless and for Metroid as well, and good stuff to boot.

I see this mix has been around for a while, but I just discovered
it a month ago when I decided I would listen to all the OCRemixes
that I had downloaded but never got a chance to hear.
Since that time it has been on all my playlists. You do a great job of achieving a nice light and relaxed feel throughout the entire piece. That to me is its greatest selling point. I absolutely love mixes like this especially since there seem to be only a small number of them.
Great job! :)

Compared to "One Girl in All the World", this is more playful and
less atmospheric, and as a companion piece it works nicely. Smooth,
sentimental, and very nice.
This is a great mix, but without it's compliment, it doesn't just feel complete, so check 'em both out.

The memory of this song is what got me to this site. Upon
discovering it and listening to it, I had to register and say how
much I love it! I remember listening to it a lot many years ago,
but then it got lost when I got a new computer, but it has been
found.
It is one of THE greatest songs I have EVER heard, thus I have to thank you for making it.

I can see it before me! A humorous track with phat beatz and digitized voices that nobody with an internet connection will be able to avoid.
"Now playing: The Wingless - Super Metroid All Your World Are Belong To Girl OC ReMix"
...or not.
Good job on this track though, it is really amazing to hear something with this positive emotion and so much going on all the time considering the source! There really are no limits to what you can do (except the submission rules then, huhu).

The song has long since burnt out in me, but man I used to listen
to it every day for like half a year. Good job :D
Remixers like u inspire me to want to make my own music, but I don't have the means nor the know-hows at the moment, but I'm gonna try damnit!!

heard thunder today.

You beat me to it! Drat! I was going to say that the following section (for reference, taken from Kureejii Lea's review on page 1) put into words exactly what I thought:
"'All the World in One Girl' is more introspective. It shows an underlying, simple happiness and beauty. It's cheerful, but not obnoxiously so. The piano is light and intricate, flowing beautifully throughout the piece, and the organ is a lovely, lively addition that suits the song well. There seems to be quite a variety of instruments that are perfectly blended together. The drums don't do much, but they're subtle and carry the piece without 'intruding', so I haven't a problem with them."
I'd add too the bit about not recognizing the Brinstar theme until I made a conscious effort to hear it--except for the part at 2:04. I heard that right away, and it has always been my favorite part. It's like angel food cake on piano. :-)
I love this piece and am very grateful for its existence.
Edit: By the by, this art piece compliments the music beautifully--even though it's titled for the counterpart. Be sure to enlarge to picture.

I thought I had commented on this before, but I guess not. This
song is fantastic. It's hard for me to fully describe why I like it
so much, but I really love this song; I loved the piano work
throughout the piece, and the way it ends is goregous. Superb job.

Great stuff wingless, I am always amazed at your work, and I like
the happy/ calming feeling that this one brings. I like your twin
song scheme too, I think that this song would be best if I were
playing a game of solitaire or something. Or if this were the song
that played while i was put on hold, it would fit perfectly and
make me feel much better. Don't ask me why I put these songs in
their "best scenario from my point of view" But who know, maybe
there's someone out there just searching for the right time and
place to listen to a certain remix......Ya, I feel stupid now. I'm
done

There are a lot of mixes I love. OCR is a treasure trove of
beautiful music. Yet... This song makes me happy. Despite finding
many beautiful songs when I discovered OCR, not many mixes have
done that. In fact, this may be the sole exception. The melody is
simple, bubbly, light, airy, and very, very beautiful. I never
initially enjoy a Wingless mix. That's his beauty, I think. When I
hear a Wingless song for the first time, I'm not in the right state
of consciousness to receive it. I hear it, but I don't [i]hear[/i]
it. But, at some point in time, maybe even weeks, months later, I
do finally [i]hear[/i] it, and can see the often simple beauty that
had eluded me for so long before. Eutopia Pegasi, and the
counterpart to this very song, are perfect (ly beautiful) examples.
Each Wingless mix comes at the time when it is needed. And this mix
is something I will always need. In times of darkness or
depression, this mix can remind me of the beauty of the world (in
one girl).
Because each time I listen to this song, I [i]smile[/i], and because of that, I feel that, in many ways, this song is the best I have found on OCR to date. Smiles don't always come easily, and to find a piece of art that always makes one smile, no matter if smiles come easy or hard at that time, is to find a piece of happiness.
Usually by this point in my commentary, I tell the mixer in question, "Good job," and congratulate him/her on finely crafting a wonderful piece of work. But in this comment I feel I have to say something radically different, to Wingless:
Thank you, for the smiles.
(And good job, of course. ;) )
