Unfortunately I'm unaware of these two artists producing anything else that would be worth sharing, which is kind of a shame.Įmerald Dragon - Battle with Zandigue - This is the only other soundtrack I'm aware of Hirohiko Fukuda (of Super Bomberman 2) composing, at least for the SNES.

Likewise, its battle and big boss themes are notable highlights. I think that overall Bomberman 64 has similar qualities to the Super Bomberman 2 but with the added bonus of it being a little easier for untrained ears to process. Fantastic use of hits in both the intro and the song itself, a playful and fully-engaged bassline, cool atmosphere provided by pads in the second half, and an elaborate composition structure that manages to stay centered thanks to its persistent melody line. I chose this track in particular because it sounds the most chaotic, but Battle Theme 1 and Dastardly Bomber's Machine are also pretty intense.īomberman 64 - Masker - I have similar thoughts on 64 as I do for Super Bomberman 2, only difference being that this was composed by Akifumi Tada and that his direction is a bit more towards electrohouse and drum'n'bass. It sounds much different from the standard fare as a result of that, trading away the simple quirky melodies for much more elaborate, jazz-fusion inspired roller coasters. Super Bomberman 2 - Dastardly Bomber - This soundtrack is a one-off composed by Hirohiko Fukuda, when the vast majority of other Bomberman soundtracks around the time were composed by Jun Chikuma. Yoshi's Island - Baby Bowser - Maybe kind of a derivative pick at this point, but it's worth a shout out just considering it's the single hard rock tune in the game and is entirely lead by guitar and organ solos. Almost entirely in Locrian, incorporates lots of different kinds of meter (goes back and forth between 6/4, 11/4, and 4/4), overall just extremely high and chaotic energy. Shovel Knight - Backed Into a Corner - Boss fight in the optional haunted Hall of Champions. I still haven't fully updated my music library since buying this laptop, so I'm going to be referencing mostly 16-bit and 8-bit OSTs. Oh man, I gotta dig inside my memory banks for this.
