A Tribute to Spelunky HD - HELL RUN MEDLEY (missingNo)

[@alexfreeman2883]

The transition from the city of gold to Olmec is so sweet!

[@missingNoVancouver]

Thank you! The transitions were probably the most challenging (and fun) part to make work for this arrangement.

Mines - 8/10 this song is so annoying for me, but you guys improved it Jungle - 10/10 Indiana jones theme Ice caves - 10/10 chill beats Temple - 10/10 indiana jonse theme 2 Hell - YEEEEEEEEAH

I love how the player refuses to grab the climbing gloves.

I grab them now with how they've been reworked in Spelunky 2, but in HD they are my BANE

That black market section is so good! The angry shop keeper music interwoven with the normal music is soooo nice to my ears. It honestly makes me surprised that something like that isn’t a feature for if you have a shop anger.

[@potushky]

i love the angry shopkeeper theme hidden in the black market song, such a smart way to sneak it in

[@jessveness]

The transitions between songs were so beautiful. You guys nailed it. Hope this goes viral some time :)

[@missingNoVancouver]

Thank you! Eric here (the arranger) - It means a lot to me that you mentioned the transitions! Probably the trickiest part of making this chart work was deciding which song to use in each area, and how to make them smoothly transition from one to another without being jarring or having awkward tempo changes. Trent (our drummer) lays down his drum tracks in a single take before anyone else records, so it needed to be clear enough for him to play through on his own. I was very happy with how they turned out! Thanks for listening :)

[@potpan6]

one thing i feel like spelunky 2 cant have what hd has is the music and these guys killed it

[@missingNoVancouver]

When Eric can finally do a 7-99 run in Spelunky 2, he is thinking of arranging a Cosmic Ocean medley. When that day finally comes, we'll be curious to hear what you think of the Spelunky 2 tracks in our instrumentation!

[@KrazyProductions]

[@killerqsthird1001]

This is radical! Maybe a Temple A theme at some point? It is my favorite song in the soundtrack and it would sound great!

I had originally considered this one but decided to go with this one because it fit the other songs' tempo and was easier to segue into! I'd love to one day arrange a secondary medley, every song from this game is so hard to pick between

Thanks so much! Yeah, I was convinced it was over when that Vampire started jumping around me with 1 HP. We wanted to make sure we captured our own footage for the medley, but it needed to be fast enough to sync with the music without too much fast-forwarding, so I was heartbroken as this run was at a good pace. Thankfully it all worked out in the end (somehow!?)

[@missingNoVancouver]

Eric (arranger / guitarist / gameplay footage) here! I've been recently trying to clear 7-99 in Spelunky 2. I think when I finally succeed (record is currently 7-56), I'll do a Cosmic Ocean medley. The tricky thing will be deciding which path to go - Volcana/Jungle? Tide Pools / Temple? Should be a blast

[@PieBathBob]

@@missingNoVancouver speaking as someone who's done it before, with a best like that you're well on your way! i'd personally recommend jungle to tide pool to maximize the amount of resources and have an easier time keeping the ankh. best of luck and i hope you make it soon 🙏

[@missingNoVancouver]

@@PieBathBob Thanks for the advice! I've been doing Volcana / Temple simply for the alien compass. I've gotten good at Vlad's Cape skip so I can save my Ankh for the ocean - I'm really bad at finding the exit in the ocean when the Jellyfish is coming in the larger maps, so the compass is a huge help currently. I do love Jungle / Tide Pool / clone gun however... It's always a toss up!!

In a way, they serve different purposes? Spelunky HD is non-stop bangers, Spelunky 2 is more atmospheric. Especially in the cosmic ocean, the audio approach of HD wouldn't have worked. I appreciate them both for how they compliment the games themselves.

[@Dead_by_Night]

Are none of you gonna realize how good this run is, because its not everyday you get a jetpack from a crate.

[@missingNoVancouver]

But the real question is, how many restarts were required to be blessed by that RNG? Funnily enough, Eric (our guitarist, arranger of this chart, and horrible Guy cosplayer) captured footage from 2 successful hell runs before realizing he had to do a 3rd run because his pace was too slow and the footage had to be fast forwarded to an unenjoyable amount to line up with the recording. So he kept speedrunning Hell runs until he finally got a good seed and completed on a pace that worked well for the video!
