    None of my videos are monetized. I posted this for a friend to listen to since he uses UA-cam as a music player. Making him sit through ads would be a dick move.

      ***** Well I neglected to mention Yacht and Kaufman, the composer would likely be breathing down my neck and DMCA'd all the videos so really you don't have any choice if you want to put it on youtube without remixing it.

    Capcom's NES titles had a distinctive "metallic" set of sound effects, even for games that did not feature Mega Man. The metallic percussion in this song captures the spirit of their entire sound-engineering philosophy.

  • @OmegaBoost1

    It feels like they took some of the best aspects of some of the more popular Mega Man stages from Mega Man 2 and 3 and threw it in a blender and got this awesome tasting smoothy of a music gem, am I right?
    On top of that, it has some similar tunes to Ducktales, specifically the final stage.

    • @AshramIndustries
      @AshramIndustries 9 років тому +3

      Actually, I feel that the final stage theme of DuckTales has more in common with Mole Knight's stage, if you listen hard enough.
      They use the same pitch, damn near same tempo, and are both placed in fire-themed levels.
      This one? I can't really compare it to anything Kaufman's done prior. But I can say it reminds of a mix between Quick Man, Dust Man, and either Dark Man or Mr. X.

    • @codster76
      @codster76 8 років тому +5

      This is a very late reply to a comment, but it uses the same duty/noise effect as Quick Man and Fire Man's, that's why it sounds similar. I'm not 100% sure how it works, but from what I gather there are two settings for the types of sound the noise channel can produce, the usual "percussion" one and the zappy one, this song is switching between them constantly.

    • @Henchgirls
      @Henchgirls 7 років тому

      It is the loop length of the noiseproducer in the chip. Either it's really long (like 65535 bytes or something), and white noisy, or it's a very short (31 bytes, maybe?), and more static/tonal sounding.

    Not to be rude...but I personally think this is the worst song in the game. Just the way it starts up is ear grating to me.

      I agree with that, but the rest is okay. I remember it being much better though...

      Because the game is 8 bit...
      A rap song in the middle of an 8 bit game would be just a little out pf place.
