Today's Bananza blowout has me in a DK mood, so here's a song from my personal favorite Donkey Kong game!

Donkey Kong Country Returns - Jungle Hijinxs (DK Island Swing Returns)

I know Tropical Freeze is considered a better game by most standards, but I have more memories of playing Returns on the Wii. Also it was the Rocket Barrel theme's debut, so it's automatically better in my eyes

Sum 41- Still Waiting

Code: Select all

So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating?
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in
Drop dead, a bullet to my head
Your words are like a gun in hand
You can't change the state of the nation
We just need some motivation
These eyes have seen no conviction
Just lies and more contradiction
So tell me, what would you say?
I'd say it's time to
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating?
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe in
Ignorance and understanding
We're the first ones to jump in line
Out of step for what we believe in
But who's left to stop the bleeding?
How far will we take this?
It's not hard to see through the thickness
So tell me, what would you say?
I'd say it's time to
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating?
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe
This can't last forever
Time won't make things better
I feel so alone, can't help myself
And no one knows
That this is worthless to me
So
What have we done?
We're in a war that can't be won
This can't be real
'Cause I don't know what to feel
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating?
Can't find a good reason
Can't find hope to believe
So am I still waiting
For this world to stop hating?
Can't find a good reason
For this world to believe

I don't see why this track (and many others in the Rayman Legends OST) went unused, it would've sounded great in the final game!

Rayman Legends - Mambo Mambo (Unused)

Van Halen – Jump

Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbush Symphony

[Mortamon Saturn]

Rayman (Atari Jaguar) - Pink Plant Woods


Modding Rayman Redemption's soundtrack with R1's other versions really got me into a Jaguar mood!

[The Jonster]

Somebody’s having fun

Donkey Kong Country 2 - Forest Interlude

[RayGamer99]

I like how the Jaguar version of R1 had exclusive songs in it (made even better when they were remixed/remastered for Redemption), like Moskito's Nest and Mr. Dark Showdown. This next one isn't exclusive to that version, but it did play in Redemption's shop and Ting casino, so that's what comes to my mind first whenever R1 Jaguar music is brought up.

Rayman 1 (Atari Jaguar) - Main Menu

"Lives, power-ups, skins? You want it? It's yours, my friend, as long as you have enough Tings."

IKR?
There's also the Jaguar version of Eat at Joe's inside Redemption from what I discovered while exploring the music files, but for some reason, it goes unused!
Would have been nice for Joe's Wares, as the file name clearly implied it was intended for a "Joe Shop"...


I laughed so hard the moment I saw that Morshu reference when Ryemanni first unveiled the shop, I certainly wasn't expecting some Zelda CD-I to make it to a Rayman 1 remake!

That probably would have worked well for Joe’s Wares, but the old R1 Jaguar theme works too.

Neither was I, and it was truly hilarious once I found out about it! Honestly, the only thing that would’ve made it better is if you didn’t have enough Tings to buy something and he said, “Sorry Rayman, I can’t give credit. Come back for this item/skin when you’re a little, mmmmm, richer!”

Anyhow, this particular song has still been RUSHING through my head, thanks in part to Shadow Generations’ remix of it, so here it comes again!

In fact, I kept the menu theme for the shops/Casino in the Jaguar mod as it fits really well!


Now we know why Rayman was relaxing in a hammock at the beginning and didn't got up until the Magician told him about Mr Dark's chaos... He was just acting like CD-I Link!
"Gee, it sure is boring around here!"
"Mah boi, this Harmony is what all true thingamajigs strive for!"
"I just wonder what Mr Dark's up to! "



...Though, still in regards to Redemption, if there's something that I actually didn't enjoy while working on my mods, is the sheer unhealthy amount of Advance Mr Dark's Dare I had to be put through to be accurate to the original!

I heard it so many times, you couldn't even count it in Rayman Legends ports!

Sonic Adventure 2 - Final Rush (Highway in the Sky)

The Shadow Generations version is great stuff, but I can never get enough of the original!
(Unlike GBA Mr Dark's Dare )

Those CD-I games had so many funny lines...

When I was playing Rayman Advance (for the first three worlds, then I lost interest) I was surprised by how many times they were playing Mr Dark's theme in random areas. For a quick second, when I was going through Bongo Hills and I heard that, I was wondering if I'd have a random encounter with him right there.

Agreed, the SA2 version is honestly my second favorite level song from that game (behind Escape from the City, of course); why, it's playing in my head as I'm writing this!

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Vs. Digga-Leg / Whomp King

"It makes me so mad! We build your houses, your castles, your-- Aaargh! I'm tired of this speech! Let's see you try and ground pound the Whomp King again! Aaargh!"
(Why do some bosses just outright tell you how to beat them... )

Sum 41- Some Say

Code: Select all

Some say we're never meant to grow up
I'm sure they never knew enough
I know the pressures won't go away
It's too late
Find out we're different somehow
It's too late to even have faith
Don't think things will ever change
You must be dreaming
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall, I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Believe me, 'cause now's the time to try
Don't wait, the chance will pass you by
Time's up to figure it out, you can't say
It's too late
Seems like everything we knew
Turned out, were never even true
Don't trust, things will never change
You must be dreaming (dreaming)
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall, I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Some say we're better off without
Knowing what life is all about
I'm sure they'll never realize the way
It's too late
Somehow, it's different every day
In some ways, it never fades away
Seems like it's never gonna change
I must be dreaming (dreaming, dreaming)
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
Think before you make up your mind
You don't seem to realize
I can do this on my own
And if I fall, I'll take it all
It's so easy after all
Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all
Believe me, it's alright
It's so easy after all

Those CD-I games had so many funny lines...

"You dare wake me in my lair? YOU MUST DIE!" -Mr Skops

Those games were unentionally comedy gold!
"You've killed meeeee!!!" *melts into a puddle with his heart still beating*
"Good! "

When I was playing Rayman Advance (for the first three worlds, then I lost interest) I was surprised by how many times they were playing Mr Dark's theme in random areas. For a quick second, when I was going through Bongo Hills and I heard that, I was wondering if I'd have a random encounter with him right there.

I was so confused because of that the first time I played this version, but after all I understand why they did this as they had roughly 17 tracks available for this port and they couldn't afford to use Harmony in every single Band Land level and when it already became the GBA game's main theme!
In fact, so many players of this GBA adaptation remember this problem so vividly that someone saying "Ah yes, Mr Dark's Dare the track that played in like half of the levels!" became one of the top comments under my video dedicated to the evolution of Mr Dark's themes!

Specifically, it plays in most Band Land levels (but no other worlds, aside maybe from a few contexts with usually the suspense music I may have forgotten) and in every boss encounter (excluding the mosquitoes and Mr Stone)... Yes, even including Space Mama's battle in her space suit, despite the fact they already had an Advance version of Space Mama's Finale at hand, so you hear Space Mama's music as a Picture City level theme instead of a boss one! (Meanwhile, the chad Jaguar version had THREE Space Mama themes, so you'd hear variations of her theme both as a level and boss song! )


And it's surprisingly decent despite the GBA's godawful compression in this port!
(So I did use it in the Redemption mod for Space Mama and -currently- for the Menace due to its alien-like appearance, as anyway, Mr Dark's Dare was gonna be heard in even more contexts to replace some of the new tracks by Ryemanni! )

Korn- A.D.I.D.A.S.

Code: Select all

Boning, I see, somehow it always seems
That I'm dreamin' of somethin' I can never be
It doesn't matter to me
'Cause I will always be that pimp that I see in all of my fantasies
I don't know your fuckin' name
So what? Let's
Screwing might be the only way
That I can truly be free from my fucked up reality
So I dream and stroke it harder
'Cause it's so fun to see my face starin' back at me
I don't know your fuckin' name
So what? Let's fuck!
All day, I dream about sex
All day, I dream about fuckin'
All day, I dream about fuckin'
All day, I dream about sex
Yes, all day, I dream about sex
And all day, I dream about sex
Yes, all day, I dream about sex
And all day, I dream about sex
Yes, all day, I dream about sex
And all day, I dream about sex
Yes, all day, I dream about sex
All day, I dream about sex
All day, I dream about fuckin'
All day, I dream about sex
All day, I dream about fuckin'

"You've killed meeeee!!!" *melts into a puddle with his heart still beating*
"Good! "

The CD-I games feel like the textbook definition of "so bad it's good" at this point

"I hope she made lotsa spaghetti! "

(Meanwhile, the chad Jaguar version had THREE Space Mama themes, so you'd hear variations of her theme both as a level and boss song! )

Truth be told, Space Mama's Crater and Space Mama's Finale from the Jaguar soundtrack sounded pretty much the same to me, but I get what you mean.
