The Battle of Award 42 (A Hat in Time) - GaMetal Ft. InsaneInTheRainMusic & Sax Dragon

GaMetal's revisiting A Hat in Time for this take on the highly requested The Battle of Award 42, featuring InsaneInTheRainMusic (Sax) and "Sax Dragon" Carl Catron (Aerophone)!
◆ InsaneInTheRainMusic's Channel: / insaneintherainmusic
◆ Sax Dragon's Channel: / @thesaxdragon
◆ Gameplay footage by Kishoro (Thank you!)
◆ "Sucks for You" (Kirby) shirt by Draculabyte: draculabyte.com/collections/n...
Alright so, I've been planning on this one for a while. It was among the top 10 songs from last year's GaMetal Song Ballot, but it shot up even further this year to the #3 spot. I thought this would be a fun one to collab on, so I asked InsaneInTheRainMusic and Sax Dragon if they wanted to join in for one peck of a time, and of course, they totally slayed it.
Enjoy! :)

The Living Glitch You have to beat the boss/bosses before the song ends, otherwise the bomb explodes. The health is probably decreased to help accommodate this Edit: Or the boss is completely the same... or its the Killing Two Birds Death Wish version. I don’t know the world record for the speed kill of this boss, so whichever one best cuts close to 5 minutes Edit 2: did a bit more research, looks like the killing two birds boss fight averages at about 4 1/2 minutes

@@BudofSharon Thanks for the shout. Fun fact, if you look close on Pepsi Man, that's a different instrument, the AE-05 Aerophone. In this one, I'm playing an AE-10, which has a lot more functions. SO like in the solo, you can see me not only playing the notes, but also controlling the SPEED of the organ too, all on the Aerophone. You couldn't do that on the AE-05. Lots of crazy upgrades. Anyway, glad you both enjoyed it.
