Ooh, a brand-new shiny week! And it's the end of the month, too! Let's get rid of this pesky April and look forward to May. First thing on the docket, we have to place last week's Big Apple, 3AM from Turtles in Time in its appropriate spot. The top ten is going to get disrupted here as we add our eleventh song to the list. How does this piece of Turtle Power hold its own?


One-Winged Angel (Final Fantasy 7) - 8.71
Aquatic Ambience (Donkey Kong Country) - 8.66
At Doom's Gate (Doom) - 8.375
Guile Stage Theme (Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo) - 8.25
Bloody Tears (Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest) - 7.85
Green Hill Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog) - 7.72
Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved) - 7.125
Spark Mandrill Stage (Mega Man X) - 7
Big Apple, 3AM (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle: Turtles in Time) - 6.16
The Instinct (Killer Instinct) - 5.42
Heaven (The Impossible Game) - 4.16



Well, it's more "Cowa-meh" than "Cowabunga", but a 6.16 is absolutely above average, so it's nothing to sneeze at. You could munch on some pizza while jamming to it for a bit, no?

Time for another song! You know, I feel kind of bad teasing an RPG track last week and not delivering. Let's remedy that! It won't be Final Fantasy or in that vein, but SquareSoft did have a hand in it regardless. We could only avoid the realm of the Mushroom Kingdom for so long. How about some Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars with the track Fight Against Kajioh (Smithy)!





It's final boss (sort of) time as Mario and the gang try to put an end to the Smithy Gang once and for all and rebuild the Star Road. How does this track fare as it's blasting in the background during said feat? Or even just as you're listening to it outside of that? I'll leave that up to you. Let's do this and next week, seeing as my birthday lands in May, we'll be making all of May M-A-G Month! Won't that be fun? Probably not....uh, yeah....



No matter what may happen to me, just remember Lzzy Hale gave me the bedroom eyes...



...again.

Personally I don't think there is a stinker in this entire soundtrack. Maybe the battle music, but probably because you hear it too often and it has a bland vibe to it. It would have been neat to mix it up with a different tune every so often. Maybe six pieces meant for the battles and a random one plays each time.

Yeah they should have mixed up the battle music depending on the area you were in. Few hours in it's like "....ok this song again"

Different battle themes is a cool idea for the remake but it was pretty rare for SNES at the time/would have taken a lot of storage space probly. There were a lot though... regular battle, mini boss, normal boss, Culex battle, Bowser castle levels, Smithy fight pt 1 and 2

This theme is nothing special... doesnt incorporate any motifs from the soundtrack of the rest of the game so doesnt feel special. Interested why you chose it as it's the penultimate boss theme and not the final

Glad you didnt pick "Beware the Forest Mushrooms" which is the most popular and overrated song from the game imo. Goodbye Geno, battle theme/boss battle, Hello Happy Kingdom theme most iconic to me, even the sinister one where the bad guys have overtaken the village. That one was playing in my head all of election night 2016. Bandits Way sounds like something from the Nutcracker suite.. and Monstro Town so funny... Yoko Shimamura a legend...

I give it a 6 btw, couldn't vote due to tpww servers

I'll count it as the other poll is still open on the other forums.
