I once challenged myself to beat the entire game without losing a single life a couple years back. I managed to do it, and I felt like it was a major accomplishment haha
Uploader's Note: Man, Blaster Master. It fascinated me as a small kid with its music, frog intro sequence and the ability to leave the vehicle and walk around, but at the time upon first playing I didn't quite "get" that it was an adventure game; I was so used to just walking right and blowing shit up in most other NES games of the day that I didn't realize I had to actually explore to progress in the game. It wasn't until I got caught up with Metroid that I grasped the concept of an "adventure game", complete with 1-2+ hour quests and backtracking. I was never actually able to beat Blaster Master on my NES because my system had this habit of glitching and turning off on me if I had it on for over an hour, especially with this game and it lacking a save feature of any kind, so I was forced to come back to it over a decade and a half later with the advent of computer emulation and finally finished it. Not being able to save really hampered the game for me since my NES wouldn't stay on long enough for me to complete it, and it shared the same annoying trait that Metroid had; enemies getting cheap shots in just as you enter/exit some doors and being unable to dodge them. Still a beloved classic with all things considered.
I also loved this game as a kid. I never owned Metroid so this game was my first venture into the adventure genre. I was fortunate to not have the problem of the system shutting down, but I could never manage to get past lvl 5 as a kid. Stupid water world drove me crazy. Thanks for the upload!
Absolutely fantastic job on this cover, Totally did justice to Naoki Kodaka's (the composer) vision, from the "Let's Do This!" Feeling of the opening track to the whimsical quality of Area 5 and the menacing tone of Areas 4&7 Easily my all around personal favorite NES soundtrack, And it's attached to a flawless game. Perfect level of difficulty for the NES's "Just Get Good" gameplay philosophy, that keeps you coming back again and again without throwing your controller through your TV.
I don't care about the omissions... this is super duper fun for my ears.. Thanks for posting !! The Underwater section is my favorite of the lot... so moody and fun.
I just discovered this. As the world's #1 Blaster Master fan, I have to say this is pretty epic. Nice work!!! Just a little disappointment that we didn't get level 7 or level 8, but still epic :)
Nice. Most video game music I typically prefer the original sound. I actually quite like this. Really keeps the original feel in tact while updating the instruments. At least for me it does.
Daniel C Aw man if you love Vomitrons arrangements check out S.S.T., The Adventage, Retro Remix Revue, Metroid Metal, and Year 200X. There are awesome rock arrangements out there! ! The Gunstar Hero soundtrack for the GBA actually has an arrangement tune for the last track and it's really good. The One Ups have good stuff too but may be a little more laid back and somewhat jazzy. I was buying game arrangements on Amazon and came across most of the bands and they ALL very good. Crap I can't forget Taylor Davis (her stuff is really well done) and Daniel Tidwell.
Sunsoft was one of the only companies to use the sample channel in their music... hence their awesome basslines. Trying to remember the UA-cam video I saw all about NSF Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Triangle, Noise and Samples... shit's interesting to say the least.
Too bad Areas 7 & 8 are missing in action, but absolutely nothing less than amazing! Love this game and Vomitron seriously knocks it out of the park! 😎👍
@@shh5616 I agree the whole damn thing is EPIC! Hell it even impressed the creator of the game! Kenji Sada! Without him, we would not have had that awesome gem of a game! Blaster Master is my DEFINATIVE all time favorite game on the NES.
That soundtrack was like half of the game's appeal, maybe even more; not to knock the work on graphics and level/enemy design, which were also very good.
Blaster Master is still an all-time classic favorite of mine! Don't forget to check out Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero 2 on Switch, 3DS and Steam!!
You know, i didn't even really get that the first part of the name is "Vomit" ... i just pronounced it "Vome-itron" (like "home"). Brilliant fucking representations of some of the best memory music of my life. I know everyone's done Mega Man, but you would tear all those other covers to shreds. Do Mega Man 2 mixed with Mega Man 3, or one or the other. (selfish me: none of the other mega man games are nostalgic for me other than 2 and 3)
How the hell did Vomitron not include stage 7 in this?? It's the best music in the game! Stage 4 has the weakest music in the game, but it's in here. I can't believe there is no stage 7 theme. Also, why are they all out of order?
I do think his transitions between the songs are rather well executed; but indeed, I was about to comment the very same thing; stage 7 (Also last boss song) is the best.
Rob Hopper Not my content, it's Vomitron's. I had to fight several DMCA's from unrelated parties just to keep this stuff up. Vomitron has a Facebook, go ask him (although he's not very active on it): facebook.com/vomitron665?fref=ts
Gave it a listen last night with some green help, and yah, Mega Man 5 is a very good soundtrack. That is one great thing about mega man music, most of it doesn't have to be nostalgic to be recognized as brilliant, energetic and just fun to listen to.
Well, maybe i'll give the soundtrack a listen tonight. The nostalgia factor won't be there because i never heard of Mega Man 5 when it came out, but rented 4 once. That's when Mega Man got too difficult for me. Loved the Skull Man theme and the opening and the menu page. Pharoah Man (name?) and Dust Man had good themes, too. I'll load my mp3 player with Mega Man 5 and put it on headphones.
@thegenrl get youtube downloader and get realplayer converter and then download this video with youtube downloader then with realplayer converter you convert the video to mp3 format and there free song
Would've been simpler to play it on an emulators like Jnes. I keep my dusty systems and cartridges in their respectful holding places aka the sacred footlocker.
Dude, where the hell is the music for level 7? Level seven and three had the most badass music in that game. You have level one twice, but stage 7 is there not at all.
@Glitchy Glitch I'll give you that. I found levels 1, 2, and 8 they have by far the most annoying music. I realized that with level 8, they were simply trying to make it feel creepy. But the music just came toward me as an irritation. Level seven I, on the other hand, along with level 3 which was probably my favorite of all the level music, could have really rocked if the game were updated and our modern technology for video gaming was used to make better music, so long as they stayed true to the original. I just thought that a metal remix of that stage would have been awesome.
so you managed to get all the tracks remixed and stuff but you forgot Area 7 theme....... what a fucking let down you are. no Soundtrack of any NES game is complete without any tracks being left out.
I once challenged myself to beat the entire game without losing a single life a couple years back. I managed to do it, and I felt like it was a major accomplishment haha
Only real problem are some of the final bosses, but the rest is kinda piece of cake, if you leveled up your gun. Still, congratulations my man! 💪🏻
Is a major accomplishment 👏 🙌🏻
Good shit bruh - proud of you
This Master Blasted!
Playing it right now for the first time in 30 years
Not that Vomitron himself will ever read this post, but, PLEASE do a cover of Stage 7/Final Boss!

MaroonedOnEarth Preach, bro....those were the days: getting stuck in your favorite video game, and no Internet to show you what to do. :)
I also loved this game as a kid. I never owned Metroid so this game was my first venture into the adventure genre. I was fortunate to not have the problem of the system shutting down, but I could never manage to get past lvl 5 as a kid. Stupid water world drove me crazy. Thanks for the upload!
***** Mad props to you for finishing the game.
This is by far the best cover of the song I've ever heard, and certainly the longest! Bravo guys, this was amazing!
I know, right? Every other cover I've heard is either too fast, or too slow, or they put their own spin on it, but this... This is perfection.
Stage 1 00:00
Stage 5 1:46
Stage 3. 2:39
Stage. 6. 3:39
Stage 4. 4:20
Stage 2. 4:53
Stage 1. 5:51
Ending 6:47
Excellent
Welcome to my childhood. The NES music played like this in my head.
Awesome.
I have the original NES theme as my ringtone for years now. Great cover! Cheers
The best NES soundtrack. The end.
Love soundtracks that don't realize they're a certain genre until they've been remixed.
This is one of those hard as hell NES games that as truly worth beating!
Absolutely fantastic job on this cover,
Totally did justice to Naoki Kodaka's (the composer) vision,
from the "Let's Do This!" Feeling of the opening track to the whimsical quality of Area 5 and the menacing tone of Areas 4&7
Easily my all around personal favorite NES soundtrack,
And it's attached to a flawless game.
Perfect level of difficulty for the NES's "Just Get Good" gameplay philosophy, that keeps you coming back again and again without throwing your controller through your TV.
I don't care about the omissions... this is super duper fun for my ears.. Thanks for posting !! The Underwater section is my favorite of the lot... so moody and fun.
Area 8 wouldn't really translate anyway. I think they could have done amazing things with Area 7. Never mind... it is fantastic.
this has to be one of the most heroic themes i have ever heard
Great cover. Really love how you did world 4.
Holy fuck, somebody made a cover of this game? This game was the shit back in the day.
This game is one I recently rediscovered, like the op said, one of the first adventure games growing up, lots of fun and challenge
I just discovered this. As the world's #1 Blaster Master fan, I have to say this is pretty epic. Nice work!!! Just a little disappointment that we didn't get level 7 or level 8, but still epic :)
What a glorious song.

such an iconic game and OST. Level 5 is my favorite peice of music here. You guys certainly do it justice. keep making the good stuff.
3:29 my absolute favorite, metal guitar mix does good.
Yep! Best of the best. And the 8-bit version became my ringtone.
Sunsoft was one of the only companies to use the sample channel in their music... hence their awesome basslines.
Trying to remember the UA-cam video I saw all about NSF Pulse 1, Pulse 2, Triangle, Noise and Samples... shit's interesting to say the least.
I am a huge fan of Sunsoft's NES games exactly for this reason. They pushed the envelope on making awesome VGM with very limited hardware.
4:50
My fave game!!! Love this!
Too bad Areas 7 & 8 are missing in action, but absolutely nothing less than amazing! Love this game and Vomitron seriously knocks it out of the park! 😎👍
WICKED AF!!! Best 8:27 of my life
I sucked at this game back in the day, so I just put the controller down and listened to this tune loop over and over, it rocks.
Awesome music by Vomitron, I expected to hear Stage 7 theme. :) but I still loved it... Imma go play Blaster Master NES now. :D
I KNEW ITT!!! youu cant adapt this song without making it sound 80's
buenísimo!!!..
Sebastian Alvarado Aguilera Una maravilla
No eh conocido a nadie latino que conociera esta joya, es bueno saber que si hay alguien mas.
Amo este mix mucho mas el nivel 5 me relaja muchisimo
0:00, 2:37, 7:14 Fantastic!
*0:00 - 8:27.
That ending is supremely awesome.
@@shh5616 I agree the whole damn thing is EPIC! Hell it even impressed the creator of the game! Kenji Sada! Without him, we would not have had that awesome gem of a game! Blaster Master is my DEFINATIVE all time favorite game on the NES.
the last one is so nostalgic!
Best song (and potentially best game) in the history of the NES. Hands down.
Fantastic cover, Vomitron!
That soundtrack was like half of the game's appeal, maybe even more; not to knock the work on graphics and level/enemy design, which were also very good.
Awesome work.
Now this is awesome! Love it.
Very nice!!
Спасибо.... Прослезился....
Oh fuck yeah!
OBEY YOUR MASTER.
BLASTER \m/
Best! from Turkey --- im playing every years this game..! 2020
BlasterMaster'cı tayfa yok mu ya Ses verin
Blaster Master is still an all-time classic favorite of mine! Don't forget to check out Blaster Master Zero and Blaster Master Zero 2 on Switch, 3DS and Steam!!
Awesome guitar work! All of the songs in the medley sound great. And I'm not even a blaster master fan.
This is cool
You're missing out; Mega Man 5 had the BEST music on the NES, period. They even crammed an extra 64k chip on the cart itself to program MORE music!
No Level 8 Boss Music? Still awesome but a bit of a lost opportunity as Level 8 had a metal feel to it.
I felt the same way, missed opportunity. :(
You know, i didn't even really get that the first part of the name is "Vomit" ... i just pronounced it "Vome-itron" (like "home").
Brilliant fucking representations of some of the best memory music of my life. I know everyone's done Mega Man, but you would tear all those other covers to shreds.

Correct me if there a couple theme are missing. Boss fight, last boss and last stage theme
Hit like before the fucking ad was even over.
yep
I love song area 5 🎶❤️
Epic!!! Lml
"FROGGIE!!"
Vomitron ftw>3

Joshua Norden I specifically looked for this after seeing the Contra version hoping for the the Level 7 song in Metal form
EEEEEEEPPPPPPIIIIIIICCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!
Where's froggy drum beat?
BLASTER MASTER ZERO THIS SPRING PEOPLE!!!!
where is the boss battle music???????????????
MP3?
So sad for era now dont know blaster master

vomitron sounds like vomiton

Would've been simpler to play it on an emulators like Jnes. I keep my dusty systems and cartridges in their respectful holding places aka the sacred footlocker.
Dude, where the hell is the music for level 7? Level seven and three had the most badass music in that game. You have level one twice, but stage 7 is there not at all.
@Glitchy Glitch maybe, but it's about the worst music in the game. Definitely not worth hearing twice.
@Glitchy Glitch I'll give you that. I found levels 1, 2, and 8 they have by far the most annoying music. I realized that with level 8, they were simply trying to make it feel creepy. But the music just came toward me as an irritation.

I just thought that a metal remix of that stage would have been awesome.
Sound compression is awful :/
so much wah wah
and no area 7?
psh
ImI
WTF??? of course not ¬¬
Sounds like dynasty warriors!
so you managed to get all the tracks remixed and stuff
but you forgot Area 7 theme.......
what a fucking let down you are. no Soundtrack of any
NES game is complete without any tracks being left out.
drums suck.
