As much as I loved BIS' final boss theme, Partners in Time's really stuck out to me as a literal fight to protect the world from destruction with the dramatic chords and the melancholic tone. Such a fantastic score.
I remember when I first got to this point. Late at night on an airline flight home. It was a long and rough fight to get to Elder Princess Shroob… why? Because all four Bros had Practice Badges on and I didn’t realize that it made them do scratch damage when I was like 8. So one slog after another… I see EPS wince and grab her crown and I’m like “Gotcha! Now let’s-“ *cue smoke and peach screaming* “Holy mother of-“ *Princess Shroob roars* And that… was when the fight of my life (at that point) started… I’ll never forget that boss, this score, or heck what this game means to me. Being in an airplane with the ambiance of… ya know… *insert airline engine white noise* helped as well…
@@Mattsothelioma no, to the main comment when explaining that the theme gives off Mario and Luigi saving the world from a world destroying threat kinda vibe but I was just saying that every m&l game is about Mario and Luigi defeating a world destroying threat.
Partners in time is considered the black sheep of the series but I think it’s my second favorite. Great mechanic and the darker theme of the story as you said raised the stakes. You actually felt like the world was going to end
Phase 2 always hit me so much harder than any other song in this game. It's like the game is telling you that all hope is lost that you should question why you're still fighting. Makes it feel all the sweeter once you finally take down Elder Princess Shroob, as if you're proving the game wrong.
or more like: Even if you finish her, how are you gonna stop the lingering shroob and all the damage they have done already... (spoiler: luigi is such a crybaby)
I aways took the music as sorrowfull since you're basicaly extinguishing a entire species Its ALL Or nothing, you're giving everything to protect the murshroon kingdom, she's giving everything to Avenge her syster and her Race and after the victory only a henfull Of shroobs survived to bê criogenicaly traped in bowsers Castle, its a cruchendo that makes This game one Of the darkest in the séries and also and underrated masterpiece
i always felt it was more saying "whoever wins is sealing an entire other species to extinction" showing this as less of an epic fight of good and evil (although it kinda still is) and more as the last nail in the Shroobs' coffin, because the Mario lads aren't standing by to be destroyed ...the Mario RPGs are so much more dark and metal than other spin-offs, i love these games to bits lmao
I was shocked when there was second phase. But the music definitely fit the stage. Same with this remix here and I agree with you. I was so relived when I finally beat Elder Princess Shroob.
One time I beat the game after avoiding all fights but the forced ones (i.e. bosses). You know how attacking her directly does only one damage until you defeat her forms? I could not kill her other limbs fast enough due to being such a low level and was forced to grind down 3000 HP with trampolines and copy flowers... Trust me, I definitely felt like hope was lost. Still pulled through eventually
Story wise, Partners in Time was one of the darkest tales the franchise ever brought to the table, and that’s what made the final battle themes shine so well. Either you lose your kingdom and lives to the horde, or you protect it and save the day by forcing another race into extinction. And to top it off, they couldn’t have picked a better composer to paint this picture in a musical score than Shimomura.
@@ttgb2990 If only nintendo didn't feel the need to make obligatory final bosses being Bowser, but that's why we just pretend Shrowser doesn't exist. it's hardly a fight anyway.
@@yellowpig1026 I actually like this bonus boss. The fact that you can only kill him through avoiding/counter the attacks is a pretty cool concept and I wish they would kept it for some cases in the future games.
Unfortunately they're not really extinct, in Bowser's inside story there's an optional boss battle where we defrost some shroobs and have to fight them in order to collect puzzle pieces for a special attack. You can see in the background some very familiar shroob characters... And we just walked out, without turning on the freezer again
Partners in Time was my very first Mario & Luigi game, and I never quite understood why so many people hated it. The grim story was such a nice change of pace for the Mario series, and moments like the Shroob Princess battles have stuck with me to this day because of just how out of place villains like them are compared to the rest of Mario’s laughably evil rouges gallery.
The games a bit one note in everything it does. The combat boils down to spamming bros items, a lot of the comedy is the same jokes repeated over again (this game is a big offender of the "shit on luigi" style of jokes), and beyond the final boss having some admittedly great theming, I can't say the story was ever particularly interesting. Before I played this game I couldn't imagine why people disliked one of the original trilogy, but after playing it, I think the dislike is pretty justified. Not that there's anything wrong with liking it; things have more value than what a bunch of random people on internet say.
@@skunthundler This is the type of critizism I like. I do agree the jokes are pretty repetative (especially the jokes against Luigi), but everyone has their own merits. I personally liked some of the stories in these games and they were a blast to play. On an unrelated note, I love the challenge of having to master the bros attacks to get as much damage as possible. Stressful, sure. But once I nail it, nothing feels better. It's SO satisfying. Especially when they added "Excellent" to the attacks which are mainly the finishers. Just adds to the satisfaction.
theres a lot this game missed out on doing too, why a time travel plot if the entire world's in the past and the only place you can draw a clean line between each other is peach's and shroob castles, the limited bro attacks also make it a bit of a slog at times, not to mention the plot of this one definitly doesnt capture the desperation that the mushroom kingdom must had felt in-universe, the end truly is the best part of it though
And since Yoko Shimomura's songs are already gold, they are now platinum. Just like Yoko Shimomura making her own covers, like when she covered Treasure Trove Cove from Grant Kirkhope.
So Jonny here has remixed BOTH Princess Shroob battle themes, which is impressive considering they both have different tempos to them. Though speaking only for myself, the most noteworthy thing about these two tracks was their names, in that I always had trouble figuring out what their official names were. I've seen Princess Shroob's battle theme called various things from "The Overture for the End", "Overture to the End", "The Ending’s Overture" or "The Final Overture", while I've seen Elder Princess Shroob's battle theme called "Yet Another Requiem", "Another's Requiem", and "Another Requiem". I actually looked a bit into this on the Mario Wiki, and under the article for the "Mario & Luigi RPG: Sound Selection" soundtrack CD, it had 最後への序曲 for Princess Shroob's battle and もう一人のレクイエム for Elder Princess Shroob's battle, with "Conclusion's Overture" and "One Person's Requiem" listed as the English translations for both songs respectively. ...Honestly, it's no wonder people just call them "Princess Shroob Battle" and "Elder Princess Shroob Battle" (or just "The Final Battle"), which are kind of bland names compared to what appears to be the official ones, but at least people can tell what tracks these are and where they play.
Considering how Kirby final boss themes have been called the past two games (Vagrant Counting Song Of Retrospection and Star Conquering Traveller), I can see a bit of a parallel
もう一人のレクイエム means "One more person's requiem", or "(still) Alone Requiem" roughly. I think "Yet Another's Requiem" is probably the most apt translation.
Dude!! This and Tough Guy Alert were two of the songs that I hoped you’d cover for years and then you just casually drop them BACK TO BACK????? You’re insane dude
On an extended OST of the second phase of this fight, I found a comment that described this fight as a battle for the fate of one world over the other - the elder princess shroob was fighting to stop the Mario brothers and the baby Mario brothers from bringing her people to extinction, while Mario and Luigi, with the help of their younger selves fought the shroobs to protect their world and people from the threat imposed by the shroob conquest - and it certainly didn't help their case that the younger princess shroob, the elder princess shroob's sister, was defeated, as the revenge only motivated her further to punish the victims of the shroobs. But after all the horrifying things that the mushroom kingdom endured so that Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi could end this conflict once and for all, the brothers knew there was only one way to end this. Two peoples hoping for survival... and only one could get their wish.
Probably one of the only final bosses of the series I’ve legit struggled with, and you’ve made it sound more badass while keeping the somber tone of it. Massive applause.
The 2nd phase theme is probably one of the best themes from this series, and this series has a lot of great tracks. It just perfectly conveys that you are the only thing standing in the way of the worlds destruction. Only you can defeat this monster so horrific that it causes Peach to faint on the spot from sheer horror. All the while you see the frankly terrifying and depressing lengths the Shroobs are willing to go to just to kill you. Sacrificing themselves on mass as AMMUNITION just to destroy you. The one thing standing in their way from completing their goal, destruction. The only thing they know. Excellent work man. Truly a masterpiece.
Partners in Time was my childhood, man! So happy to see this absolute aline bop get recognition! I'm pretty sure that this game is responsible for 90% of my tastes in monster designs. Looking at you, Spiny Shroopa.
I can already tell people are going to love this cover; this song was so highly requested, even on yesterday's video! I love it too, though to be honest, I'm more excited by that tease... If it's what I think it is, then I'm so hyped! (MORE BUG FABLES, AT LAST!)
That little bit of the Hollijolli Village theme at the end is actually chilling. I've always liked how you add a little acoustic melody at the end of a video, but this might be my favorite.
Have you heard what song the Holli Jolli village OST comes from? It's Jingle Bells but sad... Yeah, I played it like 3 times, but I have only heard the reference in like, 2020 hearing the OST here on UA-cam XD
Love that transition between the two, always loved the contrast between the two themes, as well as their overall somber and menacing, truly apolcalyptic tone. Great work as always!
One of my favorite series now giving the darkest final boss due justice in GaMetal? Dear God, I must be in heaven. Definitely where Elder Princess Shroob ain't
@@Fusion-X-Demon I'm only kidding.😂 But Princess Shroob is one of the darker Mario villains. She has more power. But Bowser is the best villain and he still remains one of my favorite characters. Especially in Bowser's inside story.
Ah the memories this brings back! Partners in Time was my first M&L game and despite it not being the most popular one, it will always be special to me. I remember as a kid I was stuck on elder princess shroob for over a year! The memory of finally beating her is still one of my best memories of gaming when I was younger.
Same dude. I've had this game since I was like 5 or 6 years old. I remember being stuck because I was so underleveled. Defeating her made me feel relived.
Man, this brings back so many memories of borrowing my ex-best friends copy of this game and playing it for the first time. All the fights, and obtaining the Colbot Star shards, then getting up to this point and facing Princess Shroob, and just not attacking so I could listen to this awesome soundtrack. After defeating her, the cutscene went on as normal and I thought to myself; "This is the finale? It was awesome, but it could've been longer." Then I realized she has an Elder sister. And my goodness, I was not expecting the fight, as I'd never seen walkthrough for this game. It started out normally, with the dangerous and amazing theme. I got hit, countered attacks, and then finally... I defeated her. And then Phase 2 kicked in. Words cannot describe how shocked I was at this point; the roar EPS gives off at the beginning of P2, the somber and devastating music that follows it, and the upmost urgency to defeat the EPS and save all of time and the mushroom kingdom. But what I never really thought about when I was a kid, as many of the comments have pointed out, is how we're destroying an entire race of... living, breathing parasites who love to destroy. It was either them being wiped off the face of the planet, or us. In the end, only one can remain.
Partners in Time was my first DS game eve, I got it one Christmas day, along with a blue DS. I remember life getting busy and I kinda stopped at the Past segment of Yoshi's Island since I couldn't beat Kamek just yet. But I eventually beat him and moved on. So, years later I finally get to the Final Boss and then suprise, there's another boss with 2 more phases. Elder Princess Shroob, the REAL final boss, with Phase 1 being a boss you'd expect to beat, using nearly all of her resources to stop you, attacking her own minions in a blind rage to avenge her sister. But then I got to Phase 2, one HELL of a tank that has quite a few attacks that will trip you up from the speed of them, as well as a few moves that can give you status effects. Phase 1's music is fast paced, a battle against a creature you probably guessed would be coming....but Phase 2? Phase 2's music gave me chills back then and even today, years after I got Partners in Time. It's a slow mournful tune that truly represents all sides of the battle: The grief of Elder Princess Shroob; the final, desperate gamble of an empire looking for a place to call home; the fact that you're battling for both the past and present of the Mushroom Kingdom, against villains who have shown a display of sheer *competence* that has only been shown by 3 other villains in the entire series (those being Fawful, Kamek, and Dimentio, with the former 2 being my other favorite Mario villains); and the fact that whichever party wins not only has control over the Mushroom Kingdom, but also the fate of the timeline itself. One side, consumed by grief and rage, the other hanging on for the fate of their timelines...only one side will be left alive, and everyone knows it.
Partners in Time was my first Mario and Luigi game, I still love it more than the others, also the final boss battle is something only Dark Bowser could top, in the meaning of epicness and also the urge to save the world from an imminent danger more powerful than the heroes. This remix is just awesome
I remember learning the hard way that you better be stocked on every item you could get your hands on (because there was no save point between younger and elder princess shroob). Literally felt like it was a never-ending fight, especially when phase 2 happened. Literally one of the hardest boss battles that I ever faced in a Mario game. PIT was one of the best Mario games to ever come out.
And then there’s Paper Jam’s 2 final Bowser themes... I don’t even remember either of their names, and no one ever mentions them, but they’re among the absolute best musics in all of the 3DS’s game library.
That take on phase 2 hit me hard. There was just some kind of beauty and sorrow that came with it that captures the same feeling of the original so well. Not a song I was expecting you to do, but an excellent one, nonetheless
This set of fight were so good. while the build up to the reveal of a sister was almost out of nowhere. Man when you get to it it doesn't seem much until that second phase hits. Music really helps the theming here of a battle for the fate of the Mushroom kingdom and the Shroobs. Intense yet in a way somber. Both cannot be together and only one can stay.
I guess this is a good time to tell this story. I remeber getting Partners In Time for my DS as a used copy. And because DS games always saved on the cartridge, low and behold, there was a save file already on there. I decided to see what was on the save file and when I booted it up there I was right outside the area of the final boss. But I didn't know that so I decided to head in. As soon as I saw this weird mushroom queen I didn't know what was happening but, after playing bowsers inside story, I knew this was a boss fight. I fought it as well as I could and I remember beating it. Then the end credits rolled. I immediately stopped the game deleted the save file and made a new one. It took me many years but eventually I got back to the final boss after many attemps at beating the game. I remeber being so happy that I finally got to experience the full game and what it had to offer.
This song, battle, and just Partners in Time are so underrated, I really believe partners in time is one of the best rpgs of all time and hope it still shines on.
It took me forever to figure out how to defeat this boss. I would keep hitting her, but it would do nothing. I didn’t realize you were supposed to hit her crown until I used an AOE move. Needless to say I was mad at myself for spending an hour and a half without figuring out how to damage her in any significant way. Ah…. fun times.
I actually started crying when I saw this lmao I've wanted for this to be a thing for SO LONG and I had literally just finished saying I wish you'd done this song in a full remix while scrolling through the recommended after re-listening to Adventure's End again and I I can't believe this finally happened I'm so happy you have no idea. My wish finally came true, and just a mere three days ago too? It was fate that I decided to listen to some M&L again tonight. Thank you, GaMetal. No present I'll get this year will compare to the joy this song brought me.
That second phase track - truly epic! It also really stands out as different from most Mario boss themes. It sounds almost sad at points, not entirely upbeat and fast.
I literally was listening to Gametal's "In the Final Remastered" as I was doing chores today. Next thing I see, another Mario and Luigi final boss remix gets uploaded 4 hours later. I'll tell ya what, we're all more connected than we realize.
I stand by partners in time being the darkest mario game, super paper mario comes really close but I think PiT just beats it out. You constantly see places destroyed, creatures being used for some purpose for the shoobs, and the shroobs only having one goal: destroy. The princess made it so the only way into the castle would be to collect the star shards that her elder sister was trapped in, knowing her power would still be great enough while trapped. In the battle with the elder princess, she has ufos cone help her, only for her to destroy them to get rid of you and more to replace them. They know they're expendable, they don't care. The song isn't if hope for putting it all to an end, it's despair, bleek, sad as if saying you've already lost. I hope chuggaaconroy's LP helped bring this game the attention it deserves, and I hope this cover does the same
sometimes I think Super is the darker one, then I remember that Toads were strapped to trees and had the lifeforce sucked out of em while they slowly shrivel up (I see Super as being more melancholic than dark, anyway)
An absolute masterpiece in the M&L franchise, beautiful story, excellent enemies and a great OST, I've been waiting for "Another's Requiem" for a long time now and you did it justice I've been listening non stop. This game always held a special place in my top games of all time till Dream Team came along, hopefully you will cover "Never Let Up/Size Up Your Enemy" in the future
Jonny you just released a Mario and Luigi track a day ago and now this absolute banger shows up you're making me crap a tsunami of excitement calm down-
I've literally been waiting for this ever since you did the M&L final boss themes. I got so tilted because just like Nintendo, I saw this was being skipped over again when In the Final even got a remix before PiT even got a song in. I thank thee for the treat. Phase 2 is my absolute favorite boss theme in a Mario game.
I've listened to this for 3 days on repeat at least 3 times in a row every time! It's awesome! I'd love to hear the 'boss theme' of Partners in Time: "Crisis of the Red and Green" performed by you! Keep up the great work!
Your version of the First Phase literally sounds like it's for the final boss of a fighting game or something. Seriously, it sounds like an alternate theme for Rugal Bernstein or M. Bison.
Ooofffff finaly, i thought of this day for years since you've posted one of the very first Mario and Luigi rpg boss. We could hear the accoustic part two at the end. Fantastic job x)
Dude, I'm so glad to see a song of the the final boss of my most favorite Mario and Luigu game of all time. Partners in Time was actually my first Mario and Luigi game. So I was surprised to hear that there was a game before this one.
YES , YES LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO ! Only one more Mario & Luigi final boss theme and we’re done . Aside from that , there’s also Palkia’s onslaught , which I would greatly appreciate if you did it .
Those tracks are just perfect: The first one is just menacing and kinda chilling wich is exactly what it should tell you because your litterally fighting the queen of an alien race and the only thing you know about them is that they want to overtake your planet because they’re own was just dead but the second one… The second one transforms from a menacing theme into a more outworld style . Thats probably because this is the end of the Planet if you dont destroy the aliens but also sad because you are killing an intire RACE with killing the enemy in front of you
Now it's just Paper Jam's final theme (and BJJ's final boss theme if we're being particularly daring), then all of the final boss themes will be covered. Except the PiT Bowser battle theme. Yes, Shrowser is, by definition, the final boss of PiT.
LET'S GOOOOOOOO You could almost say that it's........about time. We just need the Paper Jam final boss theme, and then you'd have completed all the main final boss themes in the Mario and Luigi series 0-0
This is awesome, I enjoyed Mario and Luigi Partners In Time when I was a kid. I can’t wait to see Mario & Luigi Paper Jam “Final Battle” because you did four Series of Mario & Luigi. AlphaDream, would be impressed.
I hope by some miracle of chance, the composers see this and know that they may have long since vanished into the shadows, their legacy lives on, thank you for making a rare shroob cover, and keep rocking on
I just now realized that the 'danger!' Portion, the transition between the two phases, is actually the music that is played just before the battle with the older princess. When she starts freaking out and beings you up into the sky. Great detail!
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY Edit: I’ve been waiting for this one for actual years. Absolutely worth the wait. I never doubted your ability to capture the epicness of phase 2.
I didn't actually think that you'd make this remix thanks for this video and I especially love the dramatic version of this song jeez I just can't get enough of you playing this song over and over again
Man, another banger, it makes me super excited just like BIS's boss battle theme, I love this as well, and not only it's the Final Battle but it's both Final Boss themes, a 2x1!, Man, thank you so much for these bangers one after another!
Do you think you can do "PUSHING FORWARD" also from Mario and Luigi Bowser's inside story (Bowser Jr journey)? Or at least check out the song first then decide? Your remixes are something else man I love them and I really appreciate you answering fans request and I hope you enjoy the remixes you do for them too.
Been a while since I listened to the original, but you did a great job with it. (And boy, am I looking forward to the Blastlord featured in that preview!)
Say anything you want, from all M&L games, this is alongside Dream Team Bros the best final boss song, good job for making it even better, you're awesome!
This song really hits hard, ever since I first played this game when it came out and reached the final boss in 2015 and overcame it in 2017, the theme has stuck with me for years Thanks for reigniting those memories
The Shroob's language is largely unknown during the game, with the only hint of intelligible speech being two characters, which they repeat constantly. It's only once we meet Younger Princess Shroob, that we get the translation. Those two characters mean... Destroy. That's all the Shroobs care about. All they seek. Destruction. They live for it, die for it, and their elder princess screams it, over and over as she readies to DESTROY the world. That's reflected in phase 2 perfectly. That scary, but in a way, tragic purpose the Shroobs have, in the intimidating notes and hollow piano. Destruction is all they want, and all they amount to. It almost makes you pity the monster for being so.
Good lord in heaven, this literally gave me chills. This is one of my favorite pieces of music in all of gaming, I’m so happy you covered it. This is SO far beyond just good, this is absolutely Legendary.
The first time I saw this final boss and Heard it’s theme gave me chills, also not many people may have noticed this but there’s actually three themes in this, in the middle before The second phase theme begins, you hear the theme that you hear before you fight elder shroob
After getting this on virtual console this is the last of the franchise I played and his theme hit so much differently than in the videos. I miss these games and I wish a new one was made. RIP alphadream.
I love what you do, being a music fan, almost knowing the music of every game in the Mario series. But also I love anime music (and other games). I wondered if it was possible for you to make the music: Forest Maze from Super Mario RPG. Good job, I'm prepared to see the next video.
Oh boy, I have been waiting YEARS for this to happen (ever since your 2013 Dark Star Core remix). Glad you threw in other stuff and not just the Elder Shroob Battle! The Elder Shroob Battle hits really hard in this remix, I remember this fight taking me several tries as a kid.
For those who don't know because Partners In Time got overlooked for a remake. The Phase 2 song is sad because the Shroobs have nothing left to lose (they even use kamikaze tactics), this is win or extinction for them at this point.
As much as I loved BIS' final boss theme, Partners in Time's really stuck out to me as a literal fight to protect the world from destruction with the dramatic chords and the melancholic tone. Such a fantastic score.
I remember when I first got to this point. Late at night on an airline flight home. It was a long and rough fight to get to Elder Princess Shroob… why? Because all four Bros had Practice Badges on and I didn’t realize that it made them do scratch damage when I was like 8.
So one slog after another… I see EPS wince and grab her crown and I’m like “Gotcha! Now let’s-“ *cue smoke and peach screaming* “Holy mother of-“ *Princess Shroob roars*
And that… was when the fight of my life (at that point) started… I’ll never forget that boss, this score, or heck what this game means to me. Being in an airplane with the ambiance of… ya know… *insert airline engine white noise* helped as well…

I want to see him cover something shit just to see how much he can improve it.
How come his guitar hasn't turned solid sheet gold?
Partners in Time was such an underrated gem of a game
im always happy seeing you, buddy
nerver forget mate
This game was my childhood. It means a lot, thank you.
It had some errors like, making the Bros attacks purchaseable items, but it was a really good game nonetheless
@@Somedude018I think it was fine enough. Remember that there are four bros that you choose the stats of
So Jonny here has remixed BOTH Princess Shroob battle themes, which is impressive considering they both have different tempos to them. Though speaking only for myself, the most noteworthy thing about these two tracks was their names, in that I always had trouble figuring out what their official names were. I've seen Princess Shroob's battle theme called various things from "The Overture for the End", "Overture to the End", "The Ending’s Overture" or "The Final Overture", while I've seen Elder Princess Shroob's battle theme called "Yet Another Requiem", "Another's Requiem", and "Another Requiem".
I actually looked a bit into this on the Mario Wiki, and under the article for the "Mario & Luigi RPG: Sound Selection" soundtrack CD, it had 最後への序曲 for Princess Shroob's battle and もう一人のレクイエム for Elder Princess Shroob's battle, with "Conclusion's Overture" and "One Person's Requiem" listed as the English translations for both songs respectively.
...Honestly, it's no wonder people just call them "Princess Shroob Battle" and "Elder Princess Shroob Battle" (or just "The Final Battle"), which are kind of bland names compared to what appears to be the official ones, but at least people can tell what tracks these are and where they play.
Yeah the names come from the CD, but because official English translations came in a bit too late, the names changed a lot
Considering how Kirby final boss themes have been called the past two games (Vagrant Counting Song Of Retrospection and Star Conquering Traveller), I can see a bit of a parallel
もう一人のレクイエム means "One more person's requiem", or "(still) Alone Requiem" roughly. I think "Yet Another's Requiem" is probably the most apt translation.
I always called the second stage theme "Requiem for Another"... so many different translations, lol
@@surprisedlobsta8543 add "two planets aproach the roche limit" to that list
One of the more chilling revelations I've come across in a game. All this time, all across the kingdom...
You've been fighting their _Luigi._
...What?
Edit: Oh, I get it, the Princess Shroob you've been fighting was the younger sister of the true, more powerful leader of the Shroobs.
Went from an outro guitar cover to a full blown arrangement, very epic
Also forgot how hard phase 2 hit until now
Dude!! This and Tough Guy Alert were two of the songs that I hoped you’d cover for years and then you just casually drop them BACK TO BACK????? You’re insane dude
You’re a lucky dude, aintcha?
@@Mythol-OG I mean, if I gotta spend my luck on this, then I’m glad to lol
On an extended OST of the second phase of this fight, I found a comment that described this fight as a battle for the fate of one world over the other - the elder princess shroob was fighting to stop the Mario brothers and the baby Mario brothers from bringing her people to extinction, while Mario and Luigi, with the help of their younger selves fought the shroobs to protect their world and people from the threat imposed by the shroob conquest - and it certainly didn't help their case that the younger princess shroob, the elder princess shroob's sister, was defeated, as the revenge only motivated her further to punish the victims of the shroobs.
But after all the horrifying things that the mushroom kingdom endured so that Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi could end this conflict once and for all, the brothers knew there was only one way to end this. Two peoples hoping for survival... and only one could get their wish.
Probably one of the only final bosses of the series I’ve legit struggled with, and you’ve made it sound more badass while keeping the somber tone of it. Massive applause.
i struggled with most of them, but this is the only one i never actually beat
its not that hard it took 30 min or less
The 2nd phase theme is probably one of the best themes from this series, and this series has a lot of great tracks. It just perfectly conveys that you are the only thing standing in the way of the worlds destruction. Only you can defeat this monster so horrific that it causes Peach to faint on the spot from sheer horror. All the while you see the frankly terrifying and depressing lengths the Shroobs are willing to go to just to kill you. Sacrificing themselves on mass as AMMUNITION just to destroy you. The one thing standing in their way from completing their goal, destruction. The only thing they know. Excellent work man. Truly a masterpiece.
Partners in Time was my childhood, man! So happy to see this absolute aline bop get recognition!
I'm pretty sure that this game is responsible for 90% of my tastes in monster designs. Looking at you, Spiny Shroopa.
I can already tell people are going to love this cover; this song was so highly requested, even on yesterday's video! I love it too, though to be honest, I'm more excited by that tease... If it's what I think it is, then I'm so hyped! (MORE BUG FABLES, AT LAST!)
OHHH Its the bee robot! I was confused about the silhouette so much but if its that then I'm hyped for it as well!
YO IT’S CHAPTER 3’S BOSS???
HELL YES MORE BUG FABLES, I wanna hear chapter 5’s boss theme eventually, or hell even the bounty boss/miniboss themes mashed up
Hahaaaa yes B-33 was my request!!
That little bit of the Hollijolli Village theme at the end is actually chilling. I've always liked how you add a little acoustic melody at the end of a video, but this might be my favorite.
Have you heard what song the Holli Jolli village OST comes from?
It's Jingle Bells but sad... Yeah, I played it like 3 times, but I have only heard the reference in like, 2020 hearing the OST here on UA-cam XD
Love that transition between the two, always loved the contrast between the two themes, as well as their overall somber and menacing, truly apolcalyptic tone. Great work as always!
Actually there was three in the middle was the theme before you fight the elder shroob
@@Luigi_is_the_boi Right, I forgot about that one. Either way, really well implemented here
I HAVE BEEN WAITING EIGHT FUCKING YEARS FOR THIS AND I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED!!
One of my favorite series now giving the darkest final boss due justice in GaMetal? Dear God, I must be in heaven. Definitely where Elder Princess Shroob ain't
You got that right. Screw Bowser! Elder Princess Shroob reigns supreme!
@@larryriehl9463 Excuse me.... 🔥What =>🔥?....
@@Fusion-X-Demon I'm only kidding.😂 But Princess Shroob is one of the darker Mario villains. She has more power. But Bowser is the best villain and he still remains one of my favorite characters. Especially in Bowser's inside story.
now she is in bowsers freezer look for the shroob easteregg in bowsers inside story xD
@@Beelzebub4045 Exactly. I've already been there. I collected the 10 puzzle pieces as well.
Ah the memories this brings back!
Partners in Time was my first M&L game and despite it not being the most popular one, it will always be special to me.
I remember as a kid I was stuck on elder princess shroob for over a year! The memory of finally beating her is still one of my best memories of gaming when I was younger.
Same dude. I've had this game since I was like 5 or 6 years old. I remember being stuck because I was so underleveled. Defeating her made me feel relived.
Oh hell yes, one of the most badass boss themes, with phase 2 being one of the creepiest, and your take on both of them did them so much justice
Man, this brings back so many memories of borrowing my ex-best friends copy of this game and playing it for the first time. All the fights, and obtaining the Colbot Star shards, then getting up to this point and facing Princess Shroob, and just not attacking so I could listen to this awesome soundtrack. After defeating her, the cutscene went on as normal and I thought to myself; "This is the finale? It was awesome, but it could've been longer."
Then I realized she has an Elder sister.
And my goodness, I was not expecting the fight, as I'd never seen walkthrough for this game. It started out normally, with the dangerous and amazing theme. I got hit, countered attacks, and then finally...
I defeated her.
And then Phase 2 kicked in.
Words cannot describe how shocked I was at this point; the roar EPS gives off at the beginning of P2, the somber and devastating music that follows it, and the upmost urgency to defeat the EPS and save all of time and the mushroom kingdom.
But what I never really thought about when I was a kid, as many of the comments have pointed out, is how we're destroying an entire race of... living, breathing parasites who love to destroy. It was either them being wiped off the face of the planet, or us. In the end, only one can remain.
Thank you Jonny, finally some love for Partners in time.
I know people love in the final, but this final boss is my favorite in the franchise.
ほんとにこの方マリオRPGシリーズ好きなんだな…と実感する…、、
いつも見させてもらってます！！
当時の記憶(青春)が蘇る動画をありがとうございます✨
Partners in Time was my first DS game eve, I got it one Christmas day, along with a blue DS. I remember life getting busy and I kinda stopped at the Past segment of Yoshi's Island since I couldn't beat Kamek just yet. But I eventually beat him and moved on. So, years later I finally get to the Final Boss and then suprise, there's another boss with 2 more phases. Elder Princess Shroob, the REAL final boss, with Phase 1 being a boss you'd expect to beat, using nearly all of her resources to stop you, attacking her own minions in a blind rage to avenge her sister. But then I got to Phase 2, one HELL of a tank that has quite a few attacks that will trip you up from the speed of them, as well as a few moves that can give you status effects. Phase 1's music is fast paced, a battle against a creature you probably guessed would be coming....but Phase 2? Phase 2's music gave me chills back then and even today, years after I got Partners in Time.
It's a slow mournful tune that truly represents all sides of the battle: The grief of Elder Princess Shroob; the final, desperate gamble of an empire looking for a place to call home; the fact that you're battling for both the past and present of the Mushroom Kingdom, against villains who have shown a display of sheer *competence* that has only been shown by 3 other villains in the entire series (those being Fawful, Kamek, and Dimentio, with the former 2 being my other favorite Mario villains); and the fact that whichever party wins not only has control over the Mushroom Kingdom, but also the fate of the timeline itself. One side, consumed by grief and rage, the other hanging on for the fate of their timelines...only one side will be left alive, and everyone knows it.
Partners in Time was my first Mario and Luigi game, I still love it more than the others, also the final boss battle is something only Dark Bowser could top, in the meaning of epicness and also the urge to save the world from an imminent danger more powerful than the heroes. This remix is just awesome
I remember learning the hard way that you better be stocked on every item you could get your hands on (because there was no save point between younger and elder princess shroob). Literally felt like it was a never-ending fight, especially when phase 2 happened. Literally one of the hardest boss battles that I ever faced in a Mario game. PIT was one of the best Mario games to ever come out.
Phase 2 of Partners in Time's final boss is one of my favorite final boss themes, and you really knocked it out the park with it!
And with that we now have 4 final boss theme remixes from the same series
I couldn't be much happier :D
Now we just need Bowser + Paper Bowser’s godlike 2 songs covered from Paper Jam, and the set will be complete.
Yes! This is one of the most underrated themes in the entire Mario and Luigi series! So glad to see it get some love on this channel especially!
What about "in the final" from Bowser's inside story?
@@generalkaboom6642 thats one of the most overrated, and has been covered twice on this channel lol
@@generalkaboom6642 What about it? It's not underrated in the slightest. In fact, he's even played it on the channel twice.
And then there’s Paper Jam’s 2 final Bowser themes... I don’t even remember either of their names, and no one ever mentions them, but they’re among the absolute best musics in all of the 3DS’s game library.
@@voidastralbirth I was listening to them the other day, actually. Definitely overlooked as well.
I knew for YEARS that phase 2 would sound beautiful if you did a cover of it. Amazing.
Thanks for not letting this gem of a theme die, so the memory of this game can live on. So many peeps don't even know about it's existence.
FINALLY! TYSM GaMetal
That take on phase 2 hit me hard. There was just some kind of beauty and sorrow that came with it that captures the same feeling of the original so well. Not a song I was expecting you to do, but an excellent one, nonetheless
This set of fight were so good. while the build up to the reveal of a sister was almost out of nowhere. Man when you get to it it doesn't seem much until that second phase hits. Music really helps the theming here of a battle for the fate of the Mushroom kingdom and the Shroobs. Intense yet in a way somber. Both cannot be together and only one can stay.
The second phase is called "Another's Requiem"...
Quite unexpected for a Mario game
I guess this is a good time to tell this story. I remeber getting Partners In Time for my DS as a used copy. And because DS games always saved on the cartridge, low and behold, there was a save file already on there. I decided to see what was on the save file and when I booted it up there I was right outside the area of the final boss. But I didn't know that so I decided to head in. As soon as I saw this weird mushroom queen I didn't know what was happening but, after playing bowsers inside story, I knew this was a boss fight. I fought it as well as I could and I remember beating it. Then the end credits rolled. I immediately stopped the game deleted the save file and made a new one. It took me many years but eventually I got back to the final boss after many attemps at beating the game. I remeber being so happy that I finally got to experience the full game and what it had to offer.
We weren't just savjng our timelines, we were stopping a plague from spreading onto the universe of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Both of these themes are incredible for different reasons. Congratulations on yet another set of amazing covers!
This song, battle, and just Partners in Time are so underrated, I really believe partners in time is one of the best rpgs of all time and hope it still shines on.
You absolutely cooked, especially in the 2nd phase‼️my absolute favorite final boss music out of all the games
OF COURSE, This is well made. Plus, i really love the fact it's my favorite game of all times. You did it, you earn my subscribe
If Jonny did Cackletta Battle, Grand Finale and Tough Guy Alert!, it was just a matter of time for seeing these themes.
*Y E A H H H H H H H* This game is genuinely the most underrated out of all the alphadream Mario and Luigi games Thank you for covering this banger
It took me forever to figure out how to defeat this boss. I would keep hitting her, but it would do nothing. I didn’t realize you were supposed to hit her crown until I used an AOE move. Needless to say I was mad at myself for spending an hour and a half without figuring out how to damage her in any significant way. Ah…. fun times.
Well now i know to not do that
Copy flower and trampoline spam can kill her without needing to destroy the crown
I actually started crying when I saw this lmao I've wanted for this to be a thing for SO LONG and I had literally just finished saying I wish you'd done this song in a full remix while scrolling through the recommended after re-listening to Adventure's End again and I
I can't believe this finally happened I'm so happy you have no idea. My wish finally came true, and just a mere three days ago too? It was fate that I decided to listen to some M&L again tonight. Thank you, GaMetal. No present I'll get this year will compare to the joy this song brought me.
That second phase track - truly epic!
It also really stands out as different from most Mario boss themes. It sounds almost sad at points, not entirely upbeat and fast.
I literally was listening to Gametal's "In the Final Remastered" as I was doing chores today. Next thing I see, another Mario and Luigi final boss remix gets uploaded 4 hours later. I'll tell ya what, we're all more connected than we realize.
I stand by partners in time being the darkest mario game, super paper mario comes really close but I think PiT just beats it out. You constantly see places destroyed, creatures being used for some purpose for the shoobs, and the shroobs only having one goal: destroy. The princess made it so the only way into the castle would be to collect the star shards that her elder sister was trapped in, knowing her power would still be great enough while trapped. In the battle with the elder princess, she has ufos cone help her, only for her to destroy them to get rid of you and more to replace them. They know they're expendable, they don't care. The song isn't if hope for putting it all to an end, it's despair, bleek, sad as if saying you've already lost. I hope chuggaaconroy's LP helped bring this game the attention it deserves, and I hope this cover does the same
I don't know. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door was very dark too. As well as the sequel, though probably not as much.
@@lulystalgianature2968 ttyd wasnt really dark only like the last chapter was origami king is darker than ttyd
sometimes I think Super is the darker one, then I remember that Toads were strapped to trees and had the lifeforce sucked out of em while they slowly shrivel up
(I see Super as being more melancholic than dark, anyway)
Aw this game was my childhood, this and BiS. Loving the back-to-back M&L themes. Also, MECHA BEE DESTROYER BLASTLORD next???????
Yeah! I'm so happy too
An absolute masterpiece in the M&L franchise, beautiful story, excellent enemies and a great OST, I've been waiting for "Another's Requiem" for a long time now and you did it justice I've been listening non stop. This game always held a special place in my top games of all time till Dream Team came along, hopefully you will cover "Never Let Up/Size Up Your Enemy" in the future
Jonny you just released a Mario and Luigi track a day ago and now this absolute banger shows up you're making me crap a tsunami of excitement calm down-
I've literally been waiting for this ever since you did the M&L final boss themes.
I got so tilted because just like Nintendo, I saw this was being skipped over again when In the Final even got a remix before PiT even got a song in.
I thank thee for the treat. Phase 2 is my absolute favorite boss theme in a Mario game.
I've listened to this for 3 days on repeat at least 3 times in a row every time! It's awesome!
I'd love to hear the 'boss theme' of Partners in Time: "Crisis of the Red and Green" performed by you!
Keep up the great work!
Your version of the First Phase literally sounds like it's for the final boss of a fighting game or something. Seriously, it sounds like an alternate theme for Rugal Bernstein or M. Bison.
Ooofffff finaly, i thought of this day for years since you've posted one of the very first Mario and Luigi rpg boss. We could hear the accoustic part two at the end. Fantastic job x)
Dude, I'm so glad to see a song of the the final boss of my most favorite Mario and Luigu game of all time.
Partners in Time was actually my first Mario and Luigi game. So I was surprised to hear that there was a game before this one.
YES , YES LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO !
Only one more Mario & Luigi final boss theme and we’re done .
Aside from that , there’s also Palkia’s onslaught , which I would greatly appreciate if you did it .
Jumping on board the Palkia's Onslaught GaMetal train - or more accurately just being more vocal about the fact I'm already on it.
@@Parapsyche nice
Speaking of being more vocal, it's ME!
On the Palkia train!
@@volzschlittseyxkoopa-kid lets go ! Koopa and Palkia FTW !
I have been waiting for this so long thank you OMG
Thanks so much for this.....I have waited and it sounds AMAZING!
I...I wasn't expecting this. This is so godly, dear God, I wasn't ready. Amazing work. I'm absolutely speechless!
I've been waiting for this moment ever since i subscribed. worth it.
Hey, nice choice! Love this theme, and I’m shocked you didn’t cover it sooner.
Incredible job with these tracks, I have a lot of nostalgia for this theme for sure. And that slow version of the snow town at the end. Chef’s kiss.
Those tracks are just perfect:
The first one is just menacing and kinda chilling wich is exactly what it should tell you because your litterally fighting the queen of an alien race and the only thing you know about them is that they want to overtake your planet because they’re own was just dead but the second one…
The second one transforms from a menacing theme into a more outworld style . Thats probably because this is the end of the Planet if you dont destroy the aliens but also sad because you are killing an intire RACE with killing the enemy in front of you
Thank you for covering my favourite video game song. Very well done, i clapped at the end.
Now it's just Paper Jam's final theme (and BJJ's final boss theme if we're being particularly daring), then all of the final boss themes will be covered.
Except the PiT Bowser battle theme. Yes, Shrowser is, by definition, the final boss of PiT.
I have waited so many years for this.
LET'S GOOOOOOOO
You could almost say that it's........about time.
We just need the Paper Jam final boss theme, and then you'd have completed all the main final boss themes in the Mario and Luigi series 0-0
I think we know what's coming eventually then :)
This is awesome, I enjoyed Mario and Luigi Partners In Time when I was a kid. I can’t wait to see Mario & Luigi Paper Jam “Final Battle” because you did four Series of Mario & Luigi. AlphaDream, would be impressed.
I hope by some miracle of chance, the composers see this and know that they may have long since vanished into the shadows, their legacy lives on, thank you for making a rare shroob cover, and keep rocking on
I just now realized that the 'danger!' Portion, the transition between the two phases, is actually the music that is played just before the battle with the older princess. When she starts freaking out and beings you up into the sky. Great detail!
Oh hell yeah! One of the best mario tracks in any game! Clicked instantly when i saw the notification.
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY
Edit: I’ve been waiting for this one for actual years. Absolutely worth the wait. I never doubted your ability to capture the epicness of phase 2.
I didn't actually think that you'd make this remix thanks for this video and I especially love the dramatic version of this song jeez I just can't get enough of you playing this song over and over again
"Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time" might actually be my favourite DS game of all time. It's actually amazing.
The only downside in my opinion is the special attack system. Much prefer the BP stat from the other RPG's in the series.
Man, another banger, it makes me super excited just like BIS's boss battle theme, I love this as well, and not only it's the Final Battle but it's both Final Boss themes, a 2x1!, Man, thank you so much for these bangers one after another!
Do you think you can do "PUSHING FORWARD" also from Mario and Luigi Bowser's inside story (Bowser Jr journey)? Or at least check out the song first then decide? Your remixes are something else man I love them and I really appreciate you answering fans request and I hope you enjoy the remixes you do for them too.
ua-cam.com/video/XneM1Jj1zhI/v-deo.html here's link to original song.
"The battle betwen 2 races, one of them will go extinct after this fight only..." BUT METAL
Been a while since I listened to the original, but you did a great job with it. (And boy, am I looking forward to the Blastlord featured in that preview!)
Say anything you want, from all M&L games, this is alongside Dream Team Bros the best final boss song, good job for making it even better, you're awesome!
This song really hits hard, ever since I first played this game when it came out and reached the final boss in 2015 and overcame it in 2017, the theme has stuck with me for years
Thanks for reigniting those memories
Ah, I first heard the Elder Shroob battle theme as an outro to your badass Cackletta cover, and now I hear it in full. Thanks again Jonny
Between the first four Mario and Luigi games, Partners in Time has the most painfully difficult final boss.
The Shroob's language is largely unknown during the game, with the only hint of intelligible speech being two characters, which they repeat constantly.
It's only once we meet Younger Princess Shroob, that we get the translation. Those two characters mean... Destroy.
That's all the Shroobs care about. All they seek. Destruction.
They live for it, die for it, and their elder princess screams it, over and over as she readies to DESTROY the world.
That's reflected in phase 2 perfectly. That scary, but in a way, tragic purpose the Shroobs have, in the intimidating notes and hollow piano. Destruction is all they want, and all they amount to.
It almost makes you pity the monster for being so.
Good lord in heaven, this literally gave me chills. This is one of my favorite pieces of music in all of gaming, I’m so happy you covered it. This is SO far beyond just good, this is absolutely Legendary.
After all these years I finally have a proper request!
Please do Ristar's final boss theme, "Theme of Kaiser - Greedy game"
The first time I saw this final boss and Heard it’s theme gave me chills, also not many people may have noticed this but there’s actually three themes in this, in the middle before The second phase theme begins, you hear the theme that you hear before you fight elder shroob
ただでさえ良曲のフェイズ2が、GaMetalの手によって最高のカッコよさになってる
As a kid this fight took me literally a few days to do, it felt like the biggest battle I’d ever done in my life 😂 Great cover as always!
All we need now is Paper Jam's final battle theme, then the Mario & Luigi final boss theme quintet will be complete.
I remember hearing an acoustic cover of Phase Two of the fight way back when. Imagine my joy hearing an actual rock cover of it now.
Had to wait until I was out of work to hear this and it was well worth the wait! So good!!
Bro another song knocked out of the park! This is so epic!
After getting this on virtual console this is the last of the franchise I played and his theme hit so much differently than in the videos. I miss these games and I wish a new one was made. RIP alphadream.
I love what you do, being a music fan, almost knowing the music of every game in the Mario series. But also I love anime music (and other games). I wondered if it was possible for you to make the music: Forest Maze from Super Mario RPG. Good job, I'm prepared to see the next video.
This was even better than I expected, especially the key change at the end was just *chef's kiss*
And MECHA BEE is coming next too HELL YEAH!
Oh boy, I have been waiting YEARS for this to happen (ever since your 2013 Dark Star Core remix). Glad you threw in other stuff and not just the Elder Shroob Battle! The Elder Shroob Battle hits really hard in this remix, I remember this fight taking me several tries as a kid.
I forgot this theme existed!! Goos job on this one!!
You even made the transition theme between the 1st fight and the 2nd fight! Such a cool detail!
For those who don't know because Partners In Time got overlooked for a remake.
The Phase 2 song is sad because the Shroobs have nothing left to lose (they even use kamikaze tactics), this is win or extinction for them at this point.
