It's wild how many extremely mid games he produced banging soundtracks for.

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Charles Cornell's forced YouTuber persona can be kinda grating, but he knows his shit and I really like the videos where he focuses less on the reactions and goes a little more in depth or plays at length (e.g. his video that looks at National Park and Ecruteak City from Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal and includes him playing around with the progression for a few minutes @6:43 or his video on Earth Wind & Fire's "After the Love Has Gone").

A great breakdown of another game which made excellent use of its 3+1 channels is 8-Bit Music Theory's recent video about the Pokémon TCG OST (one of my favorite games AND OSTs). That particular video is very accessible, but if you're also into the more technical breakdowns, I can't recommend his channel highly enough. Some of the stuff might go over your head depending on your music theory knowledge, but the more you watch the more you pick up, and once I started studying jazz the stuff I learned from his videos made it easier to learn the concepts. He's got a bunch of great videos, but some of my favorites are his videos on Baka Mitai and the Dolphin Shoals sax solo, both of which I was able to take things away from and incorporate into my playing as well as helping with hearing things in other music. More advanced topic, but his series on modes really helped demystify them and see how to use them.
