Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Soundtrack - Rodent Ruckus

[@Dr_Tapeworm]

I love how the rats were mining the cheese like it was some kind of precious mineral

[@worldsboss]

Everything about this level's theme was just genius XD

[@yeetlejuice7181]

Yep:D

[@MagicMason1000]

*my precious...*

[@kratosorokai1546]

gotta get that cheesy goodness

[@SiczakHT]

No mining, storage. In the past, cheeses were stored in caves for them to mature.

[@Sulphoraes]

Unpopular opinion: I think the Rocket Barrel levels are some of the best and most fun in the game.

[@crizman7032]

I agree

[@jasonudosen4289]

And they aren't very hard to beat

[@AdaTheWatcher]

This opinion isnt unpopular i love all of them, such a thrill!

If hard= fun i agree

"Unimaginative level design"- Gamespot, 6/10

[@Samuel26587]

worst review i've seen

[@mintyeye1203]

and bubsy 3D is 5/10 WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL

[@ArchenOpteryx]

Like, I'll let you get away with saying the game is overly difficult or gets a lot of cheap hits (though I don't agree), but acting like it's uninspired? That's like, objectively incorrect!

[@silvergalaxia8538]

Enemy Birds the biggest problem I have with the game is that the ground pound move and the roll are mapped to the same button, so if you’re holding forward just a little bit you’ll rapidly accelerate. This led to many deaths where I accidentally rolled off a platform into a pit. This might just be a me problem, but I see no reason why there can’t be an option to change the control scheme. It’s not huge problem, Tropical Freeze is still an amazing game. At least a 9/10, would recommend to anyone who even remotely likes platformers.

[@keganmemestar4465]

Well these are the same people who thought NSMBW was for platforming veterans

[@practicalpisces]

The Incredibles and Ratatouille, David Wise did a great job remixing Mine Menace!

[@Camde667dotcom]

Yes he's a true musical genius being able to mix in those 2 films music into 1 stage and have sound amazing but also incredibles and ratatouille were composed by the same guy but that doesn't matter its still amazing

[@KeiichiO]

The original Flappy Bird.

I never got that game, but I could do better than my friends when I tried because of rocket barrels

I definitely appreciate that the folks behind Metroid Prime were able to come up with this track that fits so well into the series. You can totally tell this is David Wise's arrangement. Very fun, with all the different instruments.

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

Actually, David Wise DID do this, David Wise Returns, baby!

[@somerandomguy4281]

At least someone apprecuates this. Most people just hated this game just because "it should have been metroid" as if they wouls buy a metroid game in the wii u aniways.

[@Coolaswhyne]

Ratatouille Rocket Barrel!

[@nintenrene160]

it reminds me of ratatouille too!

[@BlaketheBlock]

probably because it has those french intruments that ratatoille had too idk

[@soulubilityofficial6635]

1:09 I absolutely love that screaming horn. Adds a kind of frantic and frenetic intensity to the song

[@dcornerofficial2411]

Blurry flurry has a level 30 horn

[@underFlorence]

They remixed DKCR's Rocket Barrel Theme And I love it

[@lordroy88]

@JONATHAN PEREZ the last is Blurry Flurry, the ice cave (6-4

[@LucaDiGennaro]

This Yamamoto theme really shines in David's hands. He added a little variation on the main theme that makes everything less repetitive and above all he wrote a much better bridge at 1:46 to repeat the loop from the beginning. The original version on DKCR had a weird one.

[@RayzenMayher]

I. freaking. LOVE. this. track.

[@jamessanborn2667]

love the track, hate the mechanics.

[@worldsboss]

Best version of the song imo.

[@joelaugustestudios]

Rayzen Mayher music is catchy. Stages are not remotely hard for me.

[@trumpmech]

My 2nd fav theme of the whole game!

[@RyanStorey1231]

This music, and arguably every variation of this theme, sounds like it could be in a chase scene in The Incredibles. :D

[@gianni_hello]

In this case, a chase scene in Ratatouille... and what with it being the same director an' all...

That's a great disclaimer! I've got to use that one.

[@tangerino3199]

CHEESE! FOR EVERYONE!

[@Risk0A0Fish]

The rocket barrel looks a little like Wallace and Gromit's Spaceship from a Grand Day Out. Not to mention, it is going through a cheese filled world.

[@iamawsum2]

you get some cheese! YOU get some cheese! everyone gets some cheese!

[@xavier76thman]

This level is just chaos so much going on at once you're looking everywhere lol

[@spiritflame8453]

One thing I love about this game is that the Rocket Barrel themes are similar, but have noticeable differences that usually fit the theming of the level

[@musicaman8683]

No one’s talking about how good the accordion is

[@OudieStadium07]

Donkey Kong meet Sly Cooper or Ratatouille

[@ThunderfilmStudios]

People are saying this sounds like Ratatouille... I definitely agree, and the tune at the beginning sounds a bit like The Incredibles, too! David Wise sure likes his Pixar movies, huh? :D

[@limbus66]

He didn't compose this song, it's from Donkey Kong Country Returns

[@ThunderfilmStudios]

Oh... Yeah, I was playing DKCR the other day and I noticed this tune... Oh well, it still sounds kinda like The Incredibles! xD

[@URFTBOUND4LIFE]

***** No, I think Kenji Yamamoto did the Rocket Barrel themes for this game too because to me,they don't sound anything like David Wise compositions/covers ...although I could be wrong

[@limbus66]

Yeah, you're right. This song was in DKC Returns, which Wise had nothing to do with. This is simply a different arrangement.

[@Fenax73]

One of the best themes I've heard ngl

[@tdark987]

Trust David Wise to make a remix of a song inspired by Benny Goodman - Sing Sing Sing somehow feel even more reminiscent of the song that inspired it. And the section starting at 1:03 could've easily had me fooled into thinking Grant Kirkhope co-wrote this song.

[@NerdyDylan11]

Every Donkey Kong game has no business having an amazing soundtrack but god damn. Another reason why this and Rayman Legends are two of the best platformers ever... (in my opinion)

[@PTL3505]

Bro I grew up with Rayman, it’s so diverse and ridiculous, but in a funny way, and I also grew up with Donkey Kong, best games that are 2D side scrollers out there (that ain’t Mario)

[@Dante_Sparda_DMC]

Funny, I was going to play Legends on the Wii U right after playing this

[@jclkaytwo]

@@PTL3505 mario's 2D side-scrollers are nowhere near the quality of the donkey kong games. super mario world is arguable, but definitely not the rest.

[@Tahu5Fan]

Hearing this arrangement in the game was an unexpected pleasure. It gets a little weird around the end, but I enjoy the song.

[@e.2526]

Giant bat or giant cheese wheel… Which is worse?

[@NoBytes01]

I didn't think this song was very good in DKCR, but man, what a difference a good arrangement can make, this version is amazing.

[@ole-pettermagnussen5055]

This tune is awesome! The composers must have had so much fun with this soundtrack. Would love to see the behind the scenes of these arrangements.

[@victorolavarria8772]

Make this a ride at Universal please

Everything fits so neatly! It really feels like Mine Menace was originally made for accordion!

The second most intense rocket barrel song

[@thepoweroftheweed2215]

I could imagine this scenario: Donkey and Diddy Kong go to Paris becuz they're fighting with a French final boss. In a scene they make the final boss angry, and they use the rocket barrel to fly through Paris and they make a mess. *THIS THEME PLAYS* (Do you know those cartoons where the villain is chasing the main characters, and by chasing them he makes a mess on the streets? Same thing)

[@BladeShadowWing]

[@willy24able]

After playing through DKC3's Rocket Rush which I swear that the Rocket Barrel's control is even more awkward than DKCR & even DKCTF making it the absolute worst Donkey Kong Country level I've ever been through, I can safely say that Retro Studious does the Rocket Barrel controls better than what Rare did. Yes, the Rocket Barrel segments of DKCR & DKCTF is still awkward & hard, it's at least simple to control & at least memorable to me. I just need to make sure to have plenty of Crash Guards just to get through the level safely. But when it comes to completion like collectables, Hard Mode, & Time Attack, fuck no. Can't stand completion while doing Rocket Barrel levels.
