Mysteries of the Monolith - Ended!

My guesses aren't even making sense anymore. I've just started throwing random words together because I've exhausted every other option.
Same, I've been trying to brute force it like others said they have had success with, but my answers have devolved after so many wrong attempts and my latest one was just ICANTBELIEVEYOUVEDONETHIS. Really doubt I'm going to get it within the remaining time. At least we'll see what it is soon enough.
 
Count me in on the brute force brigade!

Although now that I'm done I can kinda see how the hints help 🥴

Ikr? I'm really interested in seeing if the image I found is similar at all to what's really there or if I just got lucky. I screenshot the one I found...we shall see lol....
 
Round 7 of Mysteries of the Monolith has ended!
If you managed to see it, well done! And if not...

Thank you to the wonderful Laudine for this wonderfully nightmarish puzzle, who delivered it along with the message "is it too easy idk". As was made apparent, it was definitely not too easy!
Explanation of the hints:
I mean, there is a small hint posted along with the image. 😇
(I'm talking about the description / flavour text -- that's as much of a hint as I'll give!)

As the drawings disappear, the monolith begins to glow. Green, yellows, reds -- a strange array of colours seem to form an image. A character, perhaps? In different states, at that. Still, the image is... quite hard to discern. In it you see so many things, and yet none that are quite clear. The monolith's surface seems much more like a mirror at this point than anything else. A nightmare. It's like a reflection of your current state: confusion and fear.
There is only one character present, in different states. Their colours are green, yellows (or orange, whichever you want to call it), and reds (or brown).

If you hope and struggle hard enough, perhaps the monolith will grace you with some additional aid later tonight (though it's quite pleased that someone was able to solve it already).

With that said: there is a second, more subtle hint in the original puzzle's instructions! Something's different compared to last week.
Careful reading has its benefits. :)

The answer should be a specific Nintendo character! Remember to enter their name with all capital letters, no spaces, and no special characters. For example, if the character was named Mistreil*, then your redemption code would be "MISTREIL".
Unfortunately, Mistreil is not an official Nintendo character.
Last week's redemption code didn't make mention of spaces or special characters. Chargin' Chuck has both of these.

The notes here correspond to Super Mario World's Overworld Theme. Super Mario World is the game with the specific Chargin' Chuck sprites used.
The final round, Round 8, will begin tomorrow at 7PM Fair time! Good luck!
While I will try to be on time with it, I'll also be travelling at the time and with family. So if I'm a little late, please excuse me 🙏
 
and here i thought i entered the name of every mario character LOL. never seen him before, the list of mario characters i was using didn’t include him. 🤣 never would’ve gotten that, but huge congrats to everyone who did!

also @Laudine......... love..... why would you do this. 😔✊🏻
 
Also, in order to figure out the last hint, I initially used Noteflight but got nowhere with it, then downloaded and installed MuseScore and was at least making a bit more progress but still struggling to even do something as simple as connecting notes until YouTube tutorials saved the day and I was able to get most notes inputted and listened to.

Now to uninstall MuseScore and never think of this torturous hint again 😌

yeah I inputted in the music and it sounded nothing like that

granted certain aspects like the scale may of been wrong, but I couldn't change it anyways so ehh
