Northern Hemispheres is easily one of the best tracks here IMO. Especially combined with the level it plays on. You come out of this tunnel into a frozen land. The music plays quietly and mysteriously as you observe the snow-capped mountains in the background. As you progress through the level, everything ramps up. The music grows ever more intense, all while the snowstorm in the background begins to draw closer to you. Soon, you are lost in the midst of a blizzard, jumping, dodging and shooting from barrels.

nintendo hates money

[@ferociousfeind8538]

@Lavos that's largely what nintendo does, when they release remakes of the big games and no supplementary content. Consider the diamond market, pumping out propaganda against lab-grown diamonds despite them being hundreds of times cheaper than diamonds dug out of the ground and oftentimes indistinguishable from "real" diamonds anyways. Nintendo sells Mario games, pretty much the same Mario games, along with ports of the exact same games, and every once in a while create an innovative new title. Nintendo's all about making games around their systems (instead of making new systems for their games) and making _fun_ games, but to keep the money coming in, they also harvest seasonal nostalgia. The reason they don't release OSTs and don't allow fan creations is to get you to _want_ to spend so much money on OSTs and anything _Mario_ or _Zelda_ or _Donkey Kong_. The nostalgia factor is over 9000 for anything Nintendo, and that keeps sales super high. Or... something like that. I wish they'd let fan creations happen, especially emulators for which Nintendo literally refuses to offer their own paid service as a substitute. They take down all these free services instead of letting them coexist, or providing an official alternative, and that just kinda really sucks.

So nostalgic ahhhh 🥺❤️ I’m 32 years old now and it’s taking me back to the time I was 11 or 12 when I’d play this game , 🥺 gooooood old days!!!!

[@axlcyrax56]

same bro...

[@kingluigi7]

I was 8 when it came out. I'd shut the lights and watch the intro, thinking it was amazing. Because it was. Way way WAY better times.... 🥲

[@NGRevenant]

I played this so much that I could 101% it without looking at the guide. by far my favourite childhood SNES game.

I'm 40 here and it still gives me the feels...

[@RebelPride1993]

i was so happy when i finally beat this game! the save feature they have on the switch makes the difficulty of this game alot less steep. for those who beat this on the Snes back in the day you really are badass.

[@baitman2368]

Thank You!

[@toainsully]

I still have the SNES version

[@cooldebt]

Also badass is what The Consouls did to Aquatic Ambience ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5Tcq5-gjqyaiMk

[@GamingEwees]

I play it on the snes i am at level 9

[@Nin10Guy]

I did a 101% Completion playthrough of the game by finding all of the hidden bonus rooms in each stage without using a guide on an actual SNES console. Given how cryptic some of those bonus rooms were, completing that game fully through trial and error as well as exploring and examining every square inch of every stage was one of my greatest achievements in gaming.

DK Island Swing has stayed rent-free in my head for almost 20 years at this point. Every time I would start drumming out of boredom I naturally gravitate to the initial beat.

[@RJsYourBOSS]

[@Nathanmitchell1989]

Life in the mines for me (30:24) is absolutely the best video game track ever created...

[@NinjaRaVenX]

David wise easily has my spot for the most respected vgm composer. Every song from this game and it's amazing sequel are well worth remembering; on top of some of the most unique levels that any 2D platformer has to offer (espescially on the SNES)

[@perkelenormally2755]

I can agree with you, Rob Hubbard is a composer you could check up, an old and not so super interesting game, but Monty on the Run, is a huge influence for videogame composers forever after I would assume, but maybe if you have already heard him, :) Non the less I respect where you put David Wise ofc! :)

[@davidlogan5240]

Still very playable so long after being made I take it that from your post HIS NAME JS DAVID WISE? Cheers for that I was just wondering about the composer When I seen your post

[@blackskrillexvevo]

yeah Wise is indeed his name. he got a good rep from this series but also did Starfox Adventures, some things for Yooka Laylee, and i think some of Shovel Knight's dlc but i could be mistaken.

Born in 1989..I def played this a lot as a kid on some old early 80s color TV with wood grain....oh man those days.....days gone by....I played this from 1994-1996 or so . Replayed as an adult a few years back. I never appreciated the soundtrack until I got older. This game is so so good, the soundtrack impeccable...

All the soundtracks from DKC, Chrono Trigger, and Super Metroid are eternally stuck in my head and I don't mind.

[@r.t1576]

When this game was released in November 1994, I was a 7-year-old boy. Now I'm 37, and I miss my 90s childhood so much! Also, I can't believe how video games evolved so much! This game is a sacred part of my childhood. I like all the OSTs. The most catchy tunes are: 02:14 Simian Segue 04:52 DK Island Swing 11:28 Cave Dweller Concert 17:30 Bonus Room Blitz 18:36 Aquatic Ambiance 24:37 Bad Boss Boogie 27:09 Mine Cart Madness 54:16 Ice Cave Chant 1:04:09 The Credits Concerto

Aw man you should have the older one play some decent! That way they can have the memories too!

[@TheCynicalB]

ya they head bang too'?!!!

[@MrLazyHere]

I'm a kid sooo... I'm gonna tell you something. These Soundtracks are so amazing and i still listen to it today. I remember when i was younger like 6-7 y old, i was playing DKC 1 and 2 on the original SNES from my cousin who was that young too but even if i wasn't really a fan of Dk i still enjoyed it and today i'm kind of a fan of Dk, idk why things change that way but yeeeah. Awesome Game :D

[@neighbor9672]

My kid LOVES these songs and gets so hype when I play the game. He runs around the whole house jumping and climbing like a monkey! He calls DK “Dad” and says Diddy Kong is him!!! When one of them gets knocked out in play he gets sad but then is so happy when he hears the DK barrel sound. This game definitely transcends time and generations.

[@AtsukiAkira]

30:24 ok but, why nobody talks about life in the mines?? This one is just one of the most beaultiful songs of the entire game!

[@lozano813able]

My mom loved this game almost as much as I did! What great childhood memories! That theme @0:08 hit me right in the feels

[@Miranda_Writes]

Ahh, the memories. Never gets old.

[@DenkyManner]

To my shame I assumed David Wise wrote all the tracks. Just a few minutes ago I realise Eveline Fischer is credited with writing most of my favourites: Forest Frenzy, Treetop Rock, Northern Hemispheres, Ice Cave Chant. Mind blown.

[@acidchurch7619]

She is always overlooked and it makes me sad.... she did most of the soundtrack on DKC 3 too

[@glowcloudwheatproducts495]

As a kid i never even got to any of the levels with those songs lol. I gotta go back and try to beat this game now

[@BB-te8tc]

I wasn't aware of this until you mentioned it here. Now that I know, you're right. Eveline tends to handle the moodier, ambient tracks, which certainly described the type of music prevalent in DKC3.

[@kejiri3593]

@@acidchurch7619 DKC3 was my favorite game growing up. DKC1 was also cool. But the most iconic one is beginning cave and aquatic music isnt it?

[@kejiri3593]

I looked it up. It said he had two composers with him "Robin Beanland and Eveline Fischer" interms of DKC1 game. Eveline Fischer did most of the soundtrack in DKC3 was also mentioned in a wikipedia link i read on

Perfect Soundtrack. A to Z. Big up David Wise, you're a big part of my childhood.

I remember being stuck in the mine cart part, my brother and I raging at the oncoming carts, lol ! Then after soooo many attempts he saved the day by nailing the run practically all by himself. It was such a relief. :)

Thirtieth birthday, donkey Kong country! Thank you for the childhood spent in your company! I have so many wonderful memories associated with this game that I can't put them into words.

If anyone didn't know Rarewear had almost full freedom when it came to the music in DK Country and it was all made in-house with little to no guidance from Nintendo at all, so they really did pave the way for DK Country in many ways. Truly a talented video game studio.
