POV: it’s 2014, you’re a child and this was a scary experience to you, you treasured this moment even when you failed to defeat the first phase of this boss. Your 3DS is low on battery and it’s nightime. Dinner is ready and you refuse to go while you’re playing. You’ve failed and have gotten sweaty hands. You refuse to play face raiders for the rest of the day, charge your 3DS for tomorrow, and go down for dinner
What I find fascinating is the choice of musical style the chose here. It’s very baroque and fugue-like, especially in the beginning with the electric organ, maintaining the same tonality as it _smoothly_ transitions to a the familiar clavinet and Synth Instrument group that Face Raiders is known for. Gives the same feeling as Ultimate Koopa from Super Mario 64.
The Red Alert blares. And suddenly luminating into your screen was the light reflecting off the hexagonal panels of the Boss’s shell from the vortex. It approaches you and halts in front of your screen. Behind it, your damaged surroundings. In shock that this is it, you helplessly begin popping your tennis balls at it, but to no avail! Its mechanical parts begin shifting, and the crystals emerge from its shell. You then wonder what’s going on. But while you wonder, it is already too late. By the time the cannon’s rise from the shell pointed towards the crystals, and you possibly realize what’s about to happen, it’s already happened. Hummmm Bling Bling *ZAP!* The first beam refracts from the crystals and hits you! You begin shooting your ammo again, still to no avail. But then it happens. One of the balls spins around the crystals back towards your opponent. It fires the second laser, but this time it bounces back into itself, damaging its shell. The crystal flips back outwards, putting you at risk once more. You frantically begin aiming for the crystals again. The beam is charging up. It fires! It goes in the opposite direction of what you’ve expected! *ZAP!!* You see your health meter jump downwards. No butterflies in sight. The alarm on the meter sounds and it flashes red. *ZAP!!* You were too busy looking at the meter to notice the next attack! It was getting lower. No… you had made it this far. Past the tutorial, Stage 1, Stage 2… and 3 as well. But now, you watch as your surroundings are invaded? You will not have this. You won’t go down without a fight! The final beam powers up; red sparks flashing from the cannon. You carefully aim your target. One crystal. Then the one above and below it. Bling Bling *BAM!* Another damage to the Boss’s shell. You fire so hard, you almost break the buttons on the 3DS. But this wasn’t over yet. One more laser would determine your life. This was everything you’d trained for. Snapping photos of your sibling’s face, maybe even random surfaces and textures to shoot at. Screw school! This is the real meaning of success in life! You shoot one crystal. The second… … you were too slow. The laser burns through your screen. *CRACK!!* The screen goes red and dark, your meter empty. The Boss laughing. Game Over! But then you exit to the home screen, scroll all the way down to the right… SURPRISE!!! DINOSAUR OFFICE!!! RAWR!!!!
I had a massive tantrum as a kid because I couldn't beat this boss, finally dusted off my 3ds and beat it to settle things down. I remembered it much tougher tbh. The theme is still a banger though
yeah i remember having so much trouble with it but like three days ago i beat it in two tries (the only reason i died the first time was because i didn't know how to beat the second part of the boss, then i read the tip and it all made sense to me)
I always loved those opening bits. It was spine chilling and a sense of showdown upon you. I HATED that boss! But I never did stop trying. I never said it wasn't fun to hate it.
@@gringusgaming The only similarity is the instrumentation at the start, apart from that there is literally nothing alike, it's just doing a baroque-like organ piece.
You got past the bombardment of faces, to find the same thing that completely destroyed your surroundings. You figure out to shoot the crystals and 1 by 1 the cannons blow up until one remains. You take a quick look at your health meter, about half health. But this one cannon can change everything. You shoot all the crystals, barely keeping ahead of the laser and you’ve almost done it!! Just spam at the face until it blows up! *boom* you did it- wait what’s that...
Most Nintendo games are known to be for casuals (until you try to 100% the game and Nintendo gives you the feeling of frustration) god I know this company is doing stupid things with NSO but man I will always love them for their charm and videogames

remembered this game exists! ive beaten everything and gotten a ton of score on the bonus stage but i havent beaten the one where you do every stage in one go with the healthbar saving, i also remember the bosses being a bit harder and especially the final one!
Once? And you never looked for a tutorial? Basically you gotta hit the crystal in the opposite direction of the boss Ex: if the boss if rotating left you hit the the crystals to he right
I ended up quitting this game cuz I couldn't beat this boss but now looking back it was easy, I think the challenge stemmed from the lack of instruction or understanding
Honestly, this is the only final boss in any of the nostalgic games I've played on the 3ds that I couldn't for the lfie of me defeat. I still don't understand how to beat it, and I am pretty good at this game.
In the forst phase which ever direction the boss is spinning the laser will go in the opposite direction so if the boss goes clockwise teh laser will counterclockwise and vise versa The second phase just shoot the face In the last phase only shoot the face but never the afro
This was the only part of the game child me could never get past... I bet I could even get past the second phase, but I just could never learn how to reflect the lasers back... I would hit one crystal, but never have the time to hit the next.
Thanks to a comment, I realize that this theme is Drawcia's..., damn, now I can't stop listening to that part, although I'm not complaining, on the contrary, now I enjoy it and appreciate it much more
Definitely not Drawcia’s theme. They are written in a similar genre to one another, but the melodies are completely different. And there’s no reason some 3ds tie in game would have to remix the final boss theme from a Kirby spin off game
I remember I couldn’t beat the first phase, and when i finally did, i was so happy as i thought it was the end. While i wasn’t looking, phase 2 killed me.
I remember when I was little I had trouble beating the final boss’s 1st phase. One day I couldn’t take it anymore so I asked my dad if he can beat the boss for me lol
The alarm blaring is what makes this theme absolutely amazing
It scare me
Yes
😂😂yes
The double bass playing as if it were an alarm just added to the experience.

It's a remix of Drawcia Sorceress' theme and that song is based off a Bach composition so you are 100% correct.

It took me 100+ trys
Exactly but I finally defeated it took my years to defeat the boss and the extra stage is real hard

You know, this sounds similar to drawcia sorceress from Kirby's canvas curse... Specifically that beginning part
I think it is a remix
you're spot on, HAL laboratory made this game *and* kirby's canvas curse
They sound nothing alike

この旋律が頭から離れない
日本人いたー
マジでそれな
One of the most epic of boss fights in video game history
The drones in the music really helps the feeling of "You're screwed" sink in.
I felt a chill down my spine hearing this it made my eyes water! What?!
Imagine a face raiders movie and as the final boss it starts at 0.75 but slowly goes to normal speed. That would be incredible.
I imagine it too.
But in my imagination, it’s a parody of pixels.
If I see a face raiders movie I’m going there
This is so nostalgic
It sure is
I remember making the final boss my glass of juice. Good times.
The intro is cool but the whole song? SO COOL AND GALACTIC!!!
The intro is essentially the leitmotif that builds the entire track, it almost sounds like a fugue
Unpopular opinion: the crystal part was really fun
It was only fun once you figured out the trick to it
Otherwise it sucked HARD
But once you figure it out it *is* fun
No. As a kid, that part gave me the fuckin shivers, not cause it was ‘scary’ but because it was so goddamn hard.
Once you saw how the attack worked from trial and error you then had to face the goofy ahh disco demon
I still don't know how to find out which direction he goes!
@@yemq i think it’s always the opposite direction he’s spinning, if anyone’s curious

I AGREE FROM UNITED STATES LOL
BEST Boss theme ever
The moment i heard this theme in 2012, made me think: oh no, i am not so ready for this...
Damn this theme hits different
Fun factrt: you could slightly control the laser path by only shooting one path to the other laser cutters instead of just spamming each crystal.
Apparently the guy who composed the Face Raiders OST also did the Mother 3 OST?!
Fun fact: this is likely a remix of Drawcia’s theme from Kirby Canvas Curse.
No
They’re just in the same style. The melodies are completely different so it’s not a remix
it sounds completely different
They just sound kind of similar. This may have been partially inspired by Drawcia's theme, but its definitely not a remix

Same I was really bad with timing so this guy was like satan in a nutshell
If you haven't figured it out, here's the cheat: the lasers always move in the opposite direction the boss is rotating in.
Like 2 years ago I couldn’t beat this boss. Then today I found my 3ds and played face raiders again and beat the boss first try. How I do that? 0.0
