Mega Man X - Spark Mandrill (remix)

Well, this one's been requested a lot. Aaaand it's another track that won't render properly no matter what. Definitely time to sit down and remake the preset I've been using, this one's obviously bottlenecking too badly for proper use. Shame, 'cause I think it sounds pretty baller. I wanted to continue my Krukmeister theme for the Mega Man stuff, but he unfortunately doesn't seem to have made a Spark Mandrill wallpaper. Luckily, some cool dude who goes by the name Oldhat104 made something similar. Check out his stuff: oldhat104.devia...

Capcom, with the success of Remaking the Resident Evil series. You should all focus on remaking the Mega Man X series. No bullshit, same side scrolling, clean graphics, extra video animations before/after boss fights, the option to do original or remixed tracks (like this). Imagine.... fuck... they could reintroduce the series.

[@TokayGeckoGuy]

I think the x series aged pretty well imo with the exceptions of the 3d ones. However, if they were to remake it, I hope they collaberate with Arc System Works to make it resemble the 2d sprite animation while making it 3d.

[@sagaswp]

Check out 20XX on Steam

[@bigberto707]

Maybe a retry on maverick Hunters X? You know instead of just being on the PSP but on all consoles and PC?

[@TheNewRobotMaster]

Yeah they tried on PSP, which had notoriously high pirate rates. If they remade them and honestly didn't try to screw over the player base, I know it will make them money. Look at the Zelda Links Awakening remake and other remakes, they make good money if the base product is great.

Most of the bosses in Mega Man X are extremely easy if you use their weakness. Try going through the game with only the x buster and no upgrades (except the boots as they're unavoidable). I promise you won't be disappointed.

[@edge3220]

Maybe the only boss in MMX history to beat without having to take a single step.

[@aryazhere421]

Hey Stone Mcknuckle, I remember to listening to this when it was first made quite a while ago and I just remember feeling so thrilled by the sound and composition. I've loved this song for so long and always come back to it whenever I feel like it. To me it's been a integral part of part of my childhood. I wanted to thank you for making this amazing masterpiece and I wanted to ask you two things: Would you ever considering doing a remake or remaster of this in the future? And would you ever consider putting this up on spofity? Thanks so much for making this, really. I don't think words can express how much enjoyment I have gained from it! ❤

[@StoneMcKnuckle]

Yes. There's a remaster on bandcamp although it's not very good, but I've said before that when in done with the entire soundtrack I'm going to remaster all of the tracks and release a compilation disc. As for Spotify, yes, I'm going to. When, in not sure, but its going to happen.

It just conjures up images of unfathomably advanced high tech black project area 51 esque super air/spacecraft taking to the skies and ruining the helpless enemy's day.

Such an awesome track. I remember how intense this stage was before I realized two major ways to change it up. First, I defeat Storm Eagle, which crashes that aircraft into the power plant, knocking out a number of threats, including the mini-boss's ability to fire those charged electrical bolts. Second, I defeat Chill Penguin to obtain the Shotgun Ice, rendering Spark Mandrill a trivial non-challenge. But _BEFORE_ I learned to do that, this stage was so intense!! XD This remix captures that intense feeling so well, and I love it!
