     I know that my Homestuck music outings are typically known for being light and whimsical, but there's one song in particular that doesn't really fit that category. <b><u>Scratch</b></u> was my foray into writing music for a villain, and I had a great time working on it. I remember that it was right around Halloween when it was finished. Good timing.
 
     I had always wondered what a boss fight-style remix of Scratch would sound like, and now I think I have a pretty good idea. I think this is actually the first work of mine that has been fan-remixed too. This was fun to wake up to.

+
+    Sources are somewhat divided on whether or not this track references [[track:the-final-battle-super-mario-64]]. Without special context people tend to call the claim, which was (before this wiki) [chronicled in NSND](https://homestuck.net/music/references.html), probably bullshit: both tracks certainly derive from [[track:toccata-and-fugue-in-d-minor]], and any other similarities may be superficial or unclear!
+
+    Note that although Scratch and The Final Battle (the SM64 track) both begin with a long held tone, and Toccata doesn't... Scratch's intro directly quotes right *after* Toccata's intro, around 0:54 there.
+
+    However, 1:52 in Scratch and 0:41 in The Final Battle (the SM64 track) are pretty markedly similar. For that reason we're currently keeping the reference.
