Certain models of the 2003 Motorola MPx200 clamshell phone contained a ringtone that was blatantly just the "Fever" theme from Dr. Mario with different notes.

Don't let Nintendo know of this, they'll send a cease and desist to Motorola over something from over 20 years ago

It's like the music in the background of a nostalgic critic video that's just legally distinct enough

This just makes me think of my original Animal Crossing town tune which just has a few slightly different notes from the default

I remember I had a floppy musical keyboard as a kid that had Super Mario Land's World 4 theme as one of the sample songs. I only discovered what it ways years later! I still have it somewhere but the batteries corroded it unfortunately

that nearly-last part ("BRIGHTLY COLOURED PILLS! THEY'LL CURE ALL YOUR ILLS!") reminds me of G-Major videos

I brought this to light years ago and uploaded it!

It's bizarre. midi_14 is a knockoff of the Ice Climbers title theme as well. This is the only Motorola phone to include these midi_xx ringtones; I assume they came from Compal, the Taiwanese ODM that manufactured it.

This sounds like what you would hear in a Dr. Mario bootleg for the Game Gear.

Speaking of bootlegs... Have you seen this? LG used to pack in some bootleg NES games in their CRT TVs. I haven't seen many people covering this.

I guess this goes to show you can put so much feeling into music and it's not even about the notes it's about the rhythm you play them at?

Not even the only one that plagiarized. There's ANOTHER ringtone included on it that's blatantly just the Ice Climber theme.

So is this ringtone a beta version of Fever, or did someone take the ringtone and label it as a beta version?
