Cackletta's Soul (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) - GaMetal

GaMetal returns to the Mario & Luigi series for this remix of the final showdown with Cackletta's Soul from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga!
It's been a few years since I did any Mario & Luigi stuff (Dark Star Core / In the Final back in 2013!), so what better time than now to cover one of the most requested M&L songs: Cackletta's Soul, with the recent Superstar Saga remake being released last month.
Enjoy! :)

I think it's funny that in the GBA version of Superstar Saga, Cackletta literally just flips you off to initiate one of her attacks. Just sticks it right up. They didn't even try to change it.

the remade version was good, but it didn't sound like a final boss at all.

[@ThePoltergust5000]

Yesssssss. It's so rare to see a remixer do this song justice (especially the stuff just after the intro that I often refer to as the "throat clearing part"). Awesome job, and the part where you brought in her regular battle theme kicked SO MUCH ASS

[@IFuckingLoveFrenchToast]

ThePoltergust5000 this is metal not a remix

[@johnnyhoang9232]

it is a remix though...

[@operatorspectre7428]

It's actually a cover... Both of you are wrong.

[@johnnyhoang9232]

but Jonny added in the regular Cackletta battle at around 2:06 (and it ended at 2:21), which isn't part of the original song. so wouldn't this be considered a remix? as far as I know, a cover wouldn't add in anything new that changes the song a lot (excluding Jonny's sick guitar solo, because he usually builds it around the original melody).

[@operatorspectre7428]

Johnny Hoang A cover is the same song, but it can have additional parts that do not stray away from the original too much. A remix is a song with a very similar style or rythym

[@MrLProductionsOfficial]

"Are you still conscious? Ugh! You're a persistent pair! I shall dispose of you quickly and then eat you for lunch!" - Cackletta's Soul The mix of 'Last Cackletta', 'Fawful, Cackletta' and 'Bowletta Anger' in this is amazing. I literally listen to this on Spotify EVERY DAY! This is so good. Better than both in game versions (I prefer the original to the remake track). Great stuff!

[@OliverTEENAGER13]

How about this: The Darkest Lord - Miitopia You're gonna love it.

[@spindash64]

I would just die if he also mixed in the Dark Lord theme from Find Mii 2.

Why not do Darker Lord's Left Hand as well?

[@dededeman3459]

This is probably top 3 in my favorite GaMetal covers. I saw this before leaving for school, so I decided to listen to it when I took the bus home (which usually takes about 4-7 minutes longer than going to school.) Best bus ride ever. This is the song that would play on the last day of school in the mean teacher's classroom.

[@rachenar]

Another fantastic cover. This guy deserves wayyy more views & subs!

[@gameboy6176]
