The Himalayans have a drum breakdown right before the loop returns. The Himalayans and The Amazon have slightly different endings from the originals: at the end of its loop, the Amazon augments the ending rhythmically the first three times so that it overlaps the start of the next section, only the last fourth ending is the regular tempo. ![]() A cool way to make this music sound almost jazzed out or rocked out, giving various instruments a solo moment. In many cases, this means the regular harmonic progression continues and various instruments riff over the top. Then sections repeat and the form breaks a bit as the loops continue. In the case of all the stage music, it begins exactly the same as the NES version (except for an intro in The Amazon and an added vamp in Transylvania) but in terms of form, the first parts of the pieces are the same. Then, where the NES was limited with memory and needed to loop immediately, these pieces continue in variation format, almost as if it's a jazz group or a rock band letting different instruments take solos.īriefly, and specifically: The Title music and the stage select music are identical to the original. By this I mean, if you generally were to put on a track of the original NES, it would start and play for the first 30 or 40 seconds the same way as these new tracks. What makes this remake so artful is that the original presentation of the piece and the opening form is the same as the original (except for added intros, which seem very organic to the piece). Intros are added sometimes, pieces are extended. Interestingly here, almost all the tempos are exactly the same. In general, the music is remade in much the same way as the FF remake I examined closely a few days ago: instruments added, replacing the 8-bit sounds, keys are identical. Here's my normal break down of the tracks and any notes. I don't think I'm going to bump into another score by Tonomura, but this one was enough to get me very interested in his music! This game has just under five minutes of music. What game music and I know it SO well! I played this game so many times it's not funny. I love all this music, particularly Transylvania and the Moon, although all the themes are great. The DuckTales cartoon theme was composed by Mark Mueller, so that was only arranged by Tonomura for the game and the death music. or better yet, stepping into Duckberg yourself! Instead, when you started it up, it was almost like you were starting an episode of the show. I'm sure if it played different music, I wouldn't have liked it that much. ![]() Like TMNT, the incorporation of the main DuckTales theme into the game was really critical to my liking it. When the game came out, it was a must purchase no question. The TV show was big, there was a Mickey's Christmas Carol released when I was very young that I grew up watching with Scrooge in it and then the TV show came out about the same time as TMNT. ![]()
