Cave Story OST ~Eyes of Flame~ Extended Version

[@SkyTheLeafeon]

To this day, I find it interesting how Cave Story was coded completely from scratch, over the course of five years, by one man. All by himself.

[@klasni2892]

in his spare time

[@_V.Va_]

He made Cave Story, in a cave. *_WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS._*

[@SkyTheLeafeon]

@@_V.Va_ And in Japan!

[@alventuradelacruz522]

Coded, designed and written

[@rmaaniii]

well actually, I hate to say this, but it was a team called studio pixel, nicalis only did the ports after wii ware was released and he did CS+ after partnering with studio pixel.

[@aidenhanson884]

Try saying, with a straight face, "A toaster turned into a frog and attacked me."

[@valterestevao1182]

Oh, and we had to use fans to jump over him, and little frogs fell down from the ceiling

[@SpecterPaladin]

Its actually a bar of soap that turned into a frog and attacked me

[@UltimaDoombotMK1]

Me: "A toast...." *starts laughing*

[@CallieSqueakz]

**face straighter than a TAS bullet** I see…

[@dreamerhammerspace]

"Yes. A living toaster. it had a face, hands, and even feet." "No, I don't need to pee in a cup." "It turned into a giant twenty-foot frog, and attacked me." "Yes it-- hello? hello?"

[@OmegaZero141]

I kid you not curly, she turned the toaster into a frog, funniest shit I've ever seen.

[@DoodleWill]

_our robot turns into a smoking hot tv star, how about yours?_ _our robot turns into a big frog and we're so proud of him_

[@Zizerx11]

Imagine a bass guitar cover of this song... it'd be insane.

[@nekom11koreimu8]

Wish granted

[@IronBlaze77]

Mirrortwos How?

[@nekom11koreimu8]

Iron Blaze there is an existing cover but it’s metal

[@Mr_Sir9715]

Yeah on the switch version I have it.

[@mikanador]

Guitar's actually harder, you need to be able to shift between regular and harmonic notes for just about every note throughout. Dunno if you're a musician, but for anyone that's not, you'd have to tap the string in a specific area for each time you pluck a note. At this speed I'd call it not humanly possible, bass you might need to do some tap at worst.

[@Evil_Nazgul0616]

**Balfrog, Misery, and Doctor's boss fights** HELL YEAH! **Monster X, Heavy Press, and Ballos' 2nd Phase** No. Just... NO!!!

[@goodjpngoblin]

Monster X is easy! I died maybe twice!

[@Evil_Nazgul0616]

ResidentFailure It's not really the difficulty that bothers me. I just find Monster X incredibly annoying...

[@goodjpngoblin]

Evil_Nazgul0616 Ehhhhh... The missiles suck, but use level 3 blade and you can breeze through it pretty intact.

[@Evil_Nazgul0616]

***** Once you memorize his pattens, he becomes much easier. (I can usually beat him without much difficulty now, it's usually the hell run that pisses me off more than him.) But yes, when you are fighting him for the first ten or so times, he is quite infuriating...

[@Evil_Nazgul0616]

***** Just jump into his eye and spam missiles like it's a bullet hell game. (especially if you have less than 20 health (but more than 10) remaining at that point...)

[@rydia_ma01]

Ah yes, the only game where a bar of soap can turn into a frog and fight you so you cant save a bunch of rabbits from getting turned into death machines by yellow shrek.

[@omegafreddy12]

***** Balrog's design was revealed to have been based off of.... are you ready for this? A bar of soap.

[@omegafreddy12]

***** Did I blow your mind?

[@omegafreddy12]

I apologize for the mess- I'll go ahead and start cleaning up now....

[@cashcloakburmy]

WHAT IS THIS?! NO LUNCH BOX? NO TOASTER? NO TELEVISION?

[@TheNodfullNod]

Once I had a dream where this song played the entire time. During the dream I was outside of my house on the front lawn and my house was throwing hammers at me (the way hammer bros throw them) and I had to avoid them and get inside my house, but as I was doing I saw that Jacky Chan was stuck to the wall and struggling to get off. I ran inside and I saw one of my online friends was in front of me, and another one was watching, sitting on a table. Me and the one in front of me began fighting, and when the fight ended we argued about who one, and then it cut to gameplay footage of one of the special stages from Sonic 1 and someone in the background yelled “FUCC YOU DOCTOR EGGMAN” and then Eggman appeared doing that animation where he juggles the chaos emeralds, and then his theme song from I think one of the sonic adventure games begins playing over this song, and a voice clip of him laughing plays Now I will forever associate this song with that dream

[@toothpastecreature]

how high were you

[@TheNodfullNod]

Not at *aaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllll*

[@superminingbro4037]

This sounds like the most chaotic dream of all time and I *need* to experience it

[@Sov_spoiled]

that dream sounds kickass

[@TentacleSex]

As if this theme wasn't fucking amazing already, the remix they did for it for the 3ds blows my mind. Pixel composes amazing music, and whoever arranged the 3ds music is great too.

[@LeoUchiha812]

I'm sad we didn't get Quote for Smash, but I'm gonna see if there's a good uniform and hat combo to make a Quote Mii Gunner.

[@67nyny]

nice i wanna get a mii like that

[@LeoUchiha812]

***** Cave Story was a major player in getting indie games recognizes, especially on Nintendo systems. I'd almost say Quote has had as much an impact in gaming as some of the other characters in Smash, even if he is lesser-known overall.

[@dantpointy436]

+Rakanadyo Though i love the DLC characters we got,my heart still wishes that somehow Quote got into Smash,even Nicalis was a big advocate for getting him in the roster.

I can see it: Quote, with a Curly alternate skin (Like Villager/Wii Fit/Corrin/Robin), the alternate colors would be the difficulty level colors, maybe even a Mimiga Mask skin, too. Neutral Attack: Polar Star, or maybe a melee attack combo. Running Attack: Blade (Lv. 1), give it a bit of lag to stop spamming Side Strong: Blade (Lv. 2) Side Smash: Blade (Lv. 3) Up Strong: Spur (Lv. 1), give it a bit of lag, too Up Smash: Spur (Like Palutena's Up Smash), the level depends on how much you hold the button Down Strong: Fireball (Lv. 1/2) Down Smash: Fierball (Lv. 3), in both directions Neutral Aereal: Spinning (like Olimar, but with weak bullets) Front Aereal: Nemesis (Lv. 3), great to annoy people and stop them to jump Back Aereal: Nemesis (Lv. 2) Up Aereal: Machine Gun (lv. 3), giving extra speed to fall (but not as much as Bowser's Down Aereal, and more movement freedom) Down Aereal: Machine Gun (Lv. 3), giving a litle jump height (like Luigi's Down B) Special: Bubble (Like Pit's Arrows, you can change the direction) Side Special: Misiles (Kinda like Samus) Up Special: Jetpack 2.0 (With the same movement mechanics, it would be fun) Down Special: Snake (More or less a Mario's Fireball, but slower and more powerful) Final Smash: This is hard, but I think it could be to call Kazuma's dragon and make him fly randomly over the screen (like the Lati duo), with a lot of power, or ride it and do something like Sonic's FS, or Balrog (maybe chasing randomly the enemies or falling like Snorlax), or something like that. What do you think? (I spent a lot of time thinking on the attacks and stuff :S)

[@Killerclown360]

Yeah I submitted Quote and Curly for the Smash vote, sad to see it passed up.

[@cyanoobsta]

Kool-Aid Man + Toaster = Balrog

[@Naadlie]

The original is so much better than the deluxe version of this song.

[@DensetsuNoKaboom]

This brings to mind the battle against Misery. "I NEED HP NOW SUMMON MORE BATS PLZ"

[@regi4791]

well fuck, I only have 3 health- *music plays* *prepares a noose*

[@ZobmieRules]

No, legend speaks of ONE that could overcome any challenge, and continues to do so to this day. Some "men" of today think they are truly great, but there is one they fear. In their tongue, he is CHUCK NORRIS.

[@Monado158]

Well, Cave Story +'s hard mode disables the energy capsules, meaning your health never goes higher than 3. All they'd have to do is get the Nemesis up to lv 3. Of course, they'd have to deal with the x2 health for everything, also.

[@cirgo4879]

“Balrog” No wait, something’s not right. “Balfrog” Thats better.

[@Noivs]

To me, this sounds similar to the major boss theme from Sonic The Hedgehog 3.

[@DMSwordsmaster]

2 tries to kill MX first time I fought him. That darn cat-tank thing! He was fun to fight though.

[@onlinepokeraddict]

Why is this so fucking awesome?

[@justanordinarypigeon1489]

to be honest I prefer this soundtrack over undertale by ALOT.

[@skymin]

its got WAY more tracks, doesn't use leitmotifs, and it all retains a 16-bit feel, so it is better by far, but that doesn't mean undertale doesn't have its merits. the shop theme, hopes and dreams, finale, and the song that plays at the end of the pacifist run are all really good

[@otoherrera3740]

the same rate of epicness for me :D

[@kingcrimson4133]

You say "doesn't use leitmotifs" as if leitmotifs are a bad thing. Leitmotifs, if used correctly (which Undertale does) can make a work of fiction far more powerful through its use of music.

[@skymin]

Evan Hamilton​ I don't mean it as a bad thing, it still sounds amazing and I can see how the placement of leitmotifs can improve how powerful some songs are, such as the main theme and "Undertale" sharing the same leitmotif, making the song "Undertale" much more powerful. Some songs use them when they're not needed, such as when comparing Undynes theme and the Waterfall theme.

[@hellfax4387]

"Got way more tracks" I think you are looking at simply the stage and boss themes in undertale, because im pretty sure there are more tracks in undertale, including the genocide remixes, and yes, while most undertale themes are remixes of another, like 'Spear of Justice' and 'Waterfall', 'Another Medium' and 'CORE' and 'Start Menu' and 'Undertale', they are, in my opinion remixed in such a way that its not just a simple remix, but an entirely different version with different instruments and different parts here and there.

[@DMSwordsmaster]

awesome music. one of my favs.

[@LilacMonarch]

***** Yeah but you can get it for free on PC

[@dolan3623]

EarthBoundNess how?

[@fawfuls]

Just look it up, it was released as free long ago.

[@SuperZez]

None of the covers in the remakes really do this justice. There’s this eerie creepiness and creeping panic in this song that none of the others really thought to translate into the new instruments.

[@thewizardbrand]

This indie game HAS THE BEST 8 bit music

[@DarkstarNoise]

I went the entire game with the Polar Star/Spur just for the challenge, I was not disappointed! :D Monster X gave me slight troubles though.

[@SaberMantis]

That fucking Cat tank

[@GardevoirTheShroob]

Monster X killed me SO MANY TIMES. That sucker just kept shooting those idiotic missiles at me and those pink/purple puffs, ruining my lv3 blade. I hate that guy. The music made up for it, though.

[@MalueMan]

Level 2 blade is the fastest way to kill Monster X, you don't even need lvl 3. You get close and mash the hell out of him, the sword will destroy most projectiles anyway.

[@MistyHoney]

Mike Giorgi In the labyrinth, the blade is your best friend

[@archimedes2070]

What if you are playing the Fourth Ending mod and you don't have the blade?

[@minecattheidiot609]

So glad I'm not the only one who thinks Monster X is the Worst Thing Ever

[@Molinamov]

Thx bro , i lisnt again and again driving my bicycle :D

[@hamza62240]

I prefer this over the 3DS or Wii version. Who else does? Seems like I'm the only one. My friends prefer the 3DS one over this one :( I feel like the 3DS one is too much of a jumble of sounds.

[@Mettalus]

Screw the 3DS one. It sounds like a porno remix of this amazing battle music...and it killed Jenka 2 for me also. There's gotta be something to salvage in there though...Moonsong? Nope.

[@byrnechristian1293]

Cave story 3D or cave story Eshop?

[@FlergerBergitydersh]

Byrne Christian Cave Story Eshop uses the original Music, and is overall the superior remastering, debatebly.

[@hexidecimark]

+Darrow Nemecek-Gulack (Millennium Eagle) I'd say. The E-Shop version's music is way clearer and cleaner.

[@saltypiplup9635]

Everyone I know likes the Remastered (3DS) or New (Wii) versions better. I love these versions better. The other versions usually get the song incorrectly, like with Running Hell. They've never gotten 0:47 and past on that song right (Not this song, Running Hell)

[@Selvut283]

Considering all these "Real Men" I'd say that every real man is simultaneously sane enough to be able to play a game and insane enough to have lost all reason beyond making things harder for themselves.

[@54sirhc]

FAVORITE SONG !!!!!! :D

[@JuukaRock]

@SolarisBlitz It took me a few solid hours. Monster X himself wasn't that bad (I'd say about 15-20 actual attempts at battle), but getting to him was an absolute pain because of how reckless I got after failing so many times. Use Lv3 Blade as soon as the gates open, then start running for cover, hiding behind the small triangle mounds and slashing occasionally to block the missiles that the mound doesn't cover.

[@captainjobo]

@JuukaRock now THAT would be tough as balls. all those tiny missile/ whatever's that fly at you... oh god...

[@Antonluisre]

[@samkong7026]

[@gemsteam]

@likitty20 Stay in one spot and keep jumping to avoid the wheels, when it opens up keep pummling it with level 2 sword, when you can acually hurt it, use level 3 missles or the sword again.

[@yungztrunks]

When this was playing, shit was about to get down

[@Noctalisse]

@likitty20 what i do is i run from one end of the room straight to the other and nuke all the Gaudis before the boss gets to me. then, i hop on the tread farthest away, it makes him switch directions. keep jumping to the other tread and when he stops, get underneath him and hop a bunch, start spamming your Lv2 Blade, and pop the green bubble looking things. once all those are gone, keep riding him and when he stops, spam the Blade as hard as you can in his face, then kill the fish missiles.

[@blackironsnips]

Could you imagine Quote's Smash Bros stage if he made it in? It would cycle through all the worlds, and at the end you'd be in Black Space, and the Undead Core fires lasers at you.

[@gunswordfist]

@DMSwordsmaster Easily my favorite Cave Story music. I had it stuck in my head forever.)

this is an epic theme to play if you are escaping!

[@VGMastr125]

oh yeah... [c] If I get this game, it will be my favorite game of ALL TIME :D

[@Makedounia1]

Hands down!

[@Bubbatauti]

Monster X was easily the toughest boss in the game for me. However, I haven't fought Ballos yet, so there's a chance he'll be tougher. Took me four tries using Machine Gun and King's Spirit (That's my nickname for the L3 Sword).

[@starmatterr]

I used snake the whole game, that bus took me like three tries or so, but ballos took more than 10

[@SethieCake]

[@Forthelemon]

More options makes it easier because you can choose which one to use based on the situation.

[@5partanzm1lk]

I find that missile spamming works pretty well. I haven't tried using the level 2 sword yet.

[@gemsteam]

@JarredPeaches actually, when it comes to bosses, i prefer level 2, because you dont have to wait for the area effect to stop.

[@stopeatingthepizza]

@NightshadeDarkrai I, too, believe Monster X was very easy, and so was the labyrinth. I have played both versions of Cave Story, both the original and Plus. The only difference gameplay-wise is the ability to choose the difficulty.

[@SuperNintendoGameboy]

I made a version of this on Mario Paint composer but I don't know what to use to record it

[@Capris9x]

Well, most people think his patterns (at first) are unpredictable, or just get unlucky and get run over by his wheels that deal a huge 10 damage :(

yeah i never noticed the green things that u shoot so i looked on 4 walkthroughs.. still dident get it then finally destroed 1 than the real battle began

[@Mario2980]

Monster X wasn't a problem for me, Just use your lvl 3 blade on the 4 orbs, then spam missiles until you run out, then your main weapon (whatever you have traded) until you get moar missiles. and during the 4 orbs part, if your low on health/missiles/EXP, then just shoot the bullets coming from the orbs. :P
