Incase you haven't noticed this detail, all boss fights involving you fighting an animal that can live on icy frozen land will have a rock theme as it's boss music even if it doesn't match the world theme it's in.

I like the song that introduces the polar bear. It's when you come upon him, and he's relaxing and eating a popsicle. The music makes him seem like a tragic character, because all he wants to do is relax and eat popsicles, but he also has this allegiance to the snowmads that means he has to fight. :(

[@dampflokfreund]

That was exactly my thought when I fight the boss. Retro, Wise...you are genius!

That kinda makes this bear the Snowmad equivalent to Donkey Kong himself. After all, DK just wants to relax and eat bananas, but villains keep forcing him into fights.

[@hudesko5397]

The spiky ice bullets are such a pain in the ass. You never know which one he's going to fake swing which messes your timing.

[@sayzar9474]

Ok. So smash 5 is gonna need a new stage for DK right? So. How about using the arena for this boss fight as one (maybe add some platforms) and have Bashmaster as a stage hazard that shows up, does one of his attacks and then retreats (that way he isnt as intrusive as Ridley or Yellow Devil). And then have this song along with other TF songs. Fighters who fall into the punch would have to quickly jump out or be harmed by the Piranha enemies and the main platform would be floating on the punch and would tilt slightly as fighters move from one side to the other unless Bashmaster pounds on it which do more. I feel like thats a good way to represent this game as well as the DKC series since its still in a jungle, has the ice theme of TF, and even throws in a stage hazard

Rice I still think they shouldn't remake it. The song is too perfect in of itself. Out of the many boss fight songs people would choose to play in the background of any DKC stage, it would be this one. They might remake it, true, but i do hope they also include the original as well.

[@laquade1]

diediemissile Another reason they remake song is to make it what their were made to be. Basically for an example: Back when pokemon was bad they didn't have all the tools to make guitar flutes etc sound on an simple device but now with waay better audio and sound they can remake the song to what they were suppose to sound like.

Favorite theme and boss from the game.

[@luisochoa1345]

Man this rocking blast is very great in 0:48 and 1:05 is getting your brain very cooler 🎸🥁🤟😆

[@xJC4Rx]

That riff at 0:48 (left channel) definitely is a nod to some other DKC song but I can't place it. Part of me is thinking something like Forest Interlude right before it loops. It has such a familiar sound to it.

[@Jennifer_Rook_Deputy]

This theme has some Bon Jovi vibes... I love it

Moral of this song: Don't fuck with polar bears.

[@themightypicklerex7688]

kylezaking I got wrecked by beartic enough times to know that even before this game came out.

[@corrinflakes9659]

kylezaking They're gonna get you Fox!! And I'm *not* referencing the space pilot!!

[@joelaugustestudios]

kylezaking Do not feed bears.

[@flaviotorriani3650]

Que gran canción es esta.Según yo creo que es la única de todo el juego que te da ganas de escucharla una y otra vez sin parar.😆😆😆

[@dvdrsbs2852]

La del primer jefe es buena también

[@Desperateforanewfandom]

Baboom's theme is another song I could just listen to on repeat forever.

[@NRF-ee6cp]

Hard boss fight. The hardest parts are the ice cubes and ice physics and golf part. He should have been the final boss tbh.

I wish there was a Punch Bowl I could go to to watch this music live. It would be amazing.

[@xXChizuruChanXx]

Honestly he has the entire right to be angry We ruined his chilling time and also dropped his popsicle to the water I would want to punch someone too

[@catguy4996]

Me too. Imagine if you're having a particularly bad day and trying to cool off by licking an ice lolly, only for some tosser to come and make you drop it. I'd be enraged!

[@martooncdj-martooncartoons490]

Hey guys,i have heard something totally shocking,i was watching a let's play of the game(a french let's play) and what i heard at the end... The let's player said that only memorables songs of this game are the remix like stickerbrush symphony,or lockjaw saga from the old donkey kong soundtrack... F...KING Punch bowl not as good as stickerbrush symphony or lockjaw saga?Excuse me,i like these 2 songs but if songs had sizes and we compared both to punch bowl,they can't even reach his heel!(i know i'm mean to SS and LS but the fact someone said that put me out of me)!

[@Krugmann96]

This game has one of the greatest Soundtracks in history! It´s a fact.

[@cannabishornliu6119]

0:48-1:05 Love that part!

[@LucaDiGennaro]

0:48 is fantastic

[@kirbymaster5]

I want the song to close with a choir version of 0:47 - 1:04

[@freedomkme]

Sounds like a King of Fighters theme :D

[@_G.C]

The only boss that you can relate to is a polar bear with a large mallet? I dig that

[@supa_12]

everybody gangsta till bashmaster drops his popsicle

[@kratosorokai1546]

not gonna lie i was quite suprised to find this music but i do love it
