Fun fact: the composer was a woman (Tomoko Sumiyama). She only worked on a couple of games in her career, but they're great tracks. Kinda reminds me of Yoko Shimomura and how no one knew Street Fighter II had a female composer until way later on when Japanese companies recognized their staff by real names.

[@JoeDan54]

Yoko Shimomura is a legend!

[@SejhaIsHere]

Thank you for telling me her name so I could check out her discography!

[@PsychTsunamiMkII]

Sumiyama also did Laser Invasion, Base Wars and Rampart (the Famicom version by Konami, based on Atari's original).

[@bartek8309]

@bacgtilyoudrop Wow no wonder Jenny kicks *ss in this game

[@Fuggettabouttitt]

Well that, and it doesn't help that Japanese names are more gender ambiguous than you find in the west.

[@SDRockman]

One of the most rocking soundtracks in all NES games......

[@mysteryman3078]

+SDRockman Agreed. I never understood why this franchise wasn't a bigger comercial success than what it turned out to be, or at the verry least why the show did not receive a second season.

[@6xpiotrekx6]

+SDRockman I has all this song in my heart to this moment ;-; Be greated my friend, you know what's real childrenhood ^^

[@jalliboy]

go ahead and check sword master on NES :D

[@matthewhudson7883]

It's a good soundtrack. I can find so much inspiration taken from other games in these tracks. But you know what I don't hear? The opening theme from the cartoon. The game also wasn't titled 'Bucky O'Hare and the Toad Wars', which is interesting. The game and series also came out in the same year. I wonder if the developers had to work on this without knowledge of what was in the show. I'd love to know the story behind this game.

[@nthgth]

Matthew Hudson I always thought I heard the TV show theme in part 2 of the intro and the game over music. At least the "Bucky! Bucky O'Hare!" part that begins the chorus.

[@quandovoceleroscomentarios4077]

One of the best games and soundtracks in NES. Sadly underrated.

[@NicolasMontchery]

You can speedrun your dishes with this soundtrack.

[@artoodiitoo]

If they didn't break before Center Of Magma Tanker hits, they will after that xD

[@jalliboy]

this game has got almost everything you can ask for - perfect soundtrack - it is not to easy, and not to hard - good and responsive controllers - the password in the game is short and simple 10\10

[@Dargonhuman]

For 8-Bit, the graphics are damned good too. Clean, crisp sprites that actually resemble the characters, colorful, detailed backdrops that don't clutter or confuse the foreground, nice effects, and smooth animations.

[@MRH0TR0Dz]

I can still remember the password for the last level MPX(buckys face)⭐️ I’m not sad at all!😂

[@Noname-ww2lv]

are you kidding?) not hard T_T

[@Yuri_Yslin]

@@Noname-ww2lv It's not hard, beat it with 33 lives remaining. The only annoying parts are the megaman-esque level stage 3 on Red Planet and the spinning rooms in Magma Tanker stage, died a couple times there. The game has notoriously easy bosses in particular.

[@HM-jl8pr]

@@Yuri_Yslin it's hard for first timers.

[@alejambicho4982]

This game have one of the best 8-Bit soundtrack of all times

[@ppoplawski]

One of the best games i've ever played. Soundtrack too.

[@visny5388]

Zgadzam sie to byl moj ulubiony tytul ma NESa a sciezka dzwiekowa wymiatala az szok ze nie ma jej w sprzedazy na plytkach :)

[@facthub7151]

Yes bro

[@Kanfutizer]

definitely a diamond of the NES era

[@vemmuu]

tighest 20 minutes you'll ever hear. no fillers, just pure chiptune rock n roll from start to finish. greatest nes soundtrack of all time.

[@pablo_752]

Один из лучших саундтреков на NES!😁🙂🤗

[@phucnguyenduc4611]

This one is the most underrated game of Konami. It is as good as ( or even better than ) the masterpiece Contra, especially the soundtrack.

[@josephevans2438]

back when they had more animals in the stories, nowadays all the animals going extinct but yea we need to save whats left

[@djalienprime]

Go check out their Zen Intergalactic Ninja. That's what I call the most underrated game on NES and its soundtrack is a total kickass.

[@-Vitalis-]

Salvage Chute could easily be a thrash metal song of some sort. Fucking good.

[@tyronbaartman8984]

I played this in 2003 for the first time 18years ago today I'm 30 years of age and still love it because it brings back good memories of my childhood years ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Peter_1986]

I like how the Game Over theme basically sounds like a victory theme.

[@RicardoPetinga]

So great to read all these positive comments. This game and its awesome soundtrack are still among my favorites after so many years. Definitely my favorites on the NES. Doesn't hurt that I also loved the cartoons, which is why I immediatelly bought the cartridge when I saw it and easily recognized the logo and characters. I know we all love the tracks for "Red Planet", "Salvage Chute" and "Center of Magma Tanker" for good reason, but that melody in "Blue Planet" that starts at 6:17 deserves just as much praise imo.

[@BonecrusherT800]

So many fond memories of this game and it's amazing music. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who remembers Bucky O'Hare. What a great show.

[@ElBandito]

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

[@MNanme1z4xs]

I miss the days, when little game had big heart. Its been 20 years sense I played this, the music still sounds like yesterday.

[@zhangicespring2092]

MNanme1z4xs all the music was just in yestoday, and I still remeber 1 life cross to end with hard mode, childhood never getting back.....

[@the-NightStar]

You just described what are also a lot of the best indie games of today. You people need to stop acting like nothing good is ever made anymore, because the only difference between then and now is that most of you people stop looking, just so you can say that your nostalgia is the only thing that matters.

[@MeidoInHebun]

@@the-NightStar Yes, it's the same with music.

[@magicjohnson3121]

Indie games are overrated

[@facthub7151]

I want this game again

[@kevinchow6337]

Bucky O'Hare 外星战将，我的童年！

[@Dullen93]

Never played this game, but back in elementary school I had a friend who just. could. not. shut up about this game, I can kinda see why now, more than two decades later.

[@TheFlamingPike]

This soundtrack was HAUNTING! Definitely the most underrated NES soundtrack along with Journey to Silius which is kinda similar in style with some great heroic yet dark melodies with kickass bass. As much as I love Tim Follin's works and many other Konami classics as well, this one deserves to be in any top 10's in my opinion.

[@paulznz3140]

The BGM of Green Planet is awesome👍

[@promogoldproduction1186]

this is the coolest music in Nes

[@TheDumontShow]

the last boss theme is one of the greatest pieces of game music i ever heard. it sounds so epic. it sounds like how a boss battle should sound. i played through this game. one of the hardest games i ever played but it is beatable. you just have to be very very patient ti finish it. those last four stages are an exercise of extreme concentration and endurance, but one thing: it never feels like you are being robbed like the first ninja gaiden. i found out that before treasure was formed, this game was their last game at konami, what a way to go out

[@troywright359]

Wow, definitely one of my favoruite NES osts ever!

[@tootall1999]

My favorite NES game

[@DarKKnightt07]

This soundtrack is insane, I love it

[@bulatmukhametzhanov8650]

Маладец! Эта музыка в моем детстве! От нее мы стали добрее!

[@GourangaPL]

4:30 this is one of that songs from NES game which you just want to hear played on electric guitar

[@Elbethium]

maaaan was this game hard!! was the first of my friends to beat this game :D man this music just kept you pushing on, even as a little kid

[@-Vitalis-]

Holy crap... this game came out nearly 30 years ago. I feel sooooo damn old right now. Sigh.

[@MindPlayMP]

Hands down BEST NES soundtrack. Doesn’t let down at any point.

[@jimpenjao594]

My favorite soundtrack of all nes games solid!

[@wano3836]

кайф! шедевр на все времена

[@SonOfFloki]

I can't believe this video has been on here for 10 years. I remember when it was first posted. I feel so fucking old! 😂

[@KurtNolish]

i've pumped up the volume this soundtrack with high powerful speakers in outdoors, no matter what neighbors think so, i love this sounds!! :)

[@marlenesanchez2849]

Estas melodias las llevo siempre en mi mente, siempre me aparecen en momentos cuando estoy haciendo alguna actividad, en especial la melodia del boss.

[@MeidoInHebun]

Yo igual! 😄

[@guashin]

Green, red y yellow planet son las que más me revientan

[@TheCodedtestament]

Sure, the characters aren't as well known as the ninja turtles or other late 80's early 90's TV show characters, but this game kicks butt. If you haven't played it, it is in many ways similar to the classic Mega Man series.

[@bannikovn8814]

Самые лучшие 8-битные треки в этой игре! Весь наш двор тащился.

[@lamer4503]

I remeber playing this some 20 years ago . . . My God, it still sounds fucking awesome! Good ol' NES classics :).

One of the best NES soundtracks!!! Great upload!!!

[@karmierez]

This game for me tops both Megaman 2&3 , Mario 3, Zelda and basically every other NES game!

[@CaptDestro]

You can tell it's Konami just by the music. Their NES games had some nice sound tracks.

[@aaron71]

I somehow missed this game as a kid. Making up for it now!

[@algiasphere]

Savage Chute and Escape! so gooood.

[@Good_Horsey]

"Thank you for your playing."

That bass riff in Cell. Are you kidding me?

Best soundtrack for the NES. Brings back memories.. Thanks for the upload! One thing..I think your missing a song.. The one where you fight your crew during the rescue.

Classic Konami soundtrack! The game is great as well.

[@tcy8264]

[@paulgee2939]

As a NES fan I'm in NES heaven hearing this...

[@denterokfallen3634]

Топовая игра, топовая музыка)

[@6xpiotrekx6]

[@Bogard2312]

Still can't believe that I finished this game. I had a hacked cartridge of the game in which 1 hit would kill you. That's right. You could get all the max life power ups you wanted, but that didn't change a thing. Being a kid, I just thought that whoever designed the game was an ass. Didn't realize how the game was supposed to be until much later.

[@RockEsper]

Holy shit

[@patrickandrews1692]

Bogard2312 wow, that's almost believable! actually no, it's not.

[@Bogard2312]

I didn't realize it until I got to play the game on an emulator years later.

[@vuurniacsquarewave5091]

+Bogard2312 I imagine it was one of those pirate carts where they removed the Konami logo, having no idea that the company had the game check if the logo is present, and if it wasn't, it would make the game kill you in 1 hit. Same thing with TMNT 3.

[@figment1988]

+Bogard2312 this was Konami's way of trolling those who purchased pirated copies. This was also used for TMNT 3 in which it makes regular shredder invincible.

[@tranceotaku]

I never beat this game, but the music still means a lot to me. Thanks for sharing!

[@gegart01]

One of the most playable games)

Thanks to this game I listen to techno (but not only lol). Great game, great soundtrack, great nostalgia.

[@MrFeral12]

Red and blue planet the best

[@Diazepino]

No, Green and Red planet the best.

[@noerangel1318]

Green Planet is probably my favourite, because it sets up the whole mood for the game. :)

Awesome music, but the game is great too! It actually has checkpoints, so it's totally playable even today.

[@joseabreu1991]

woww 12:32 sounds like something out of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 or 3 for the nes

[@nthgth]

YES

[@ZombieRommel]

It's almost the exact arrangement from Scene 02 Stage 03 track of the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game. Check it out kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn60gZ19ls50Zs0 . 20 seconds in, you hear the arrangement pretty much verbatim. This was another Konami title. TMNT came out in 1989 and Bucky O'Hare came out in 1991 so I'm guessing Bucky O'Hare's composer (Tomoko Sumiyama) was a fan of that track and paid it a little homage here.

[@DeimosComaBlack]

@@ZombieRommel It's nothing whatsoever to do with it being a Konami game; being a TMNT game it's obviously been lifted straight from the old '87 TMNT cartoon theme (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHLCXmmsZqqtj6c 12 seconds in, you can hear it behind the vocals). That descending-tone pattern is a common mini-arrangement anyway to be honest, you can hear it used in many pieces if you listen out for it. For example, the Guts Man stage in the original Mega Man has a similar arrangement (kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2PNomWPeN10q6c roughly 20 seconds in), and that game predates Konami's TMNT and Bucky O'Hare games. The composer, Manami Matsumae, was also most likely completely unaware of Chuck Lorre's TMNT theme at the time.

[@ZombieRommel]

FUCK this is good! Thank you, Tomoko Sumiyama!
