Pikmin 2 - Mystic Marsh - Music Extended

[@DeadweightLKS]

This is one of those tracks that slips by you when you're playing because it just fits so well, but going back and listening to it really makes you appreciate how beautiful it is.

[@snapslingpeavine1371]

This song really is a genius work of art.

[@BARRELH8R1]

It's slips by because it's nowhere in the game lmao. It's meant to be played in the submerged castle but that creepy loop is hardcoded to play instead for some reason

[@Xaltegk]

​@@BARRELH8R1 This track actually plays on sublevel 6 of Hole of heroes

[@solmilo6650]

It's the only place where Mystic Marsh plays in the entire game lol.

fun fact: this song was meant to play in all sublevels of submerged castle, but the creepy song is hardcoded to play instead

I have a weekly radio show that specialises in music from soundtracks and scores. My big five composers are Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Nobuo Uematsu, Ennio Morricone and Hajime Wakai. The man is just a gift - Wind Waker, Pikmin, Star Fox 64, and not long after this comment I hope, Tears of the Kingdom.

[@MrSmashySmash]

Oh? People are extending the Pikmin 2 OST? About time, they're very nice ambient tracks. Although it might also be because of the various stages of music...

@@neypaz8054 hajime wakai did so good on the music soundtrack for this game. Although he should've put Mystic March on more of the water floors. Like Level 9 on Cavern Of Chaos, 10 on Dream Den (same floor design), Level 2 or 4 in Shower Room etc.

[@neypaz8054]

@@zac3194 There are many games with tracks that could be played more often, but aren't. Sometimes I think developers do this on purpose. -_-

You should extend more cave music from pikmin 2. Like graphite gulch I LOVE that song.

[@philcarpal3926]

This always reminded me of Subterranean by David Bowie. The eerie sounds driven forward by that deep bass synth, I feel like it definitely had to have been inspired by Bowie

This feel so like home... :’)

Reminds me of a long time ago.

[@Bone237]

This song is fantastic, but the sublevel in hole of heroes that it plays in is infuriating. You start out on a stump surrounded by water, water dumples, wollywogs, and fiery blowhogs. Sometimes the enemies attack you right where you spawn. It gets worse in dream den when they repeat this room but with a wandering gatling groink added in.

[@Noah-zz8uw]

If you listen very closely, at the beginning there's a sort of electronic rift you can hear.

My favorite Pikmin 2 cave track, just edging out the ominous melancholy of Graphite Gorge (i think that's the title).

Ok... I have to vent. . a couple of days ago, I was just here and I actually LOVED this track! but now suddenly... why does this somehow sound like smoking garbage?! it isn't my earphones... I've just tried putting other game soundtracks on and they seem to sound just fine. It seems to have lost its luster somehow... I've NEVER had something like this happen to me before. . . sure, maybe after listening to something for a LONG time its maybe gotten a bit repetitive to the point where I have to put it down after a while.. but its NEVER soured, outright quite like this. . . . ....the hell just happened?. . . . Edit: This whole video is full of 2+plus year old comments(there does appear to be a few that are at least a few months ago. as of posting this, its currently 2023)... so am not exactly so sure that I'll be getting some answer back any time soon... but if anyone can also confirm if they ended up feeling the same way... I'd like to know. . so I can make sure am not losing my mind.

This has happened to me before. Maybe you fell asleep while listening to the track? There's this phenomenon where if you listen to a song in your sleep your brain processes it differently then if you were awake. Apparently it has to do with brain activity during the REM cycle of sleep. This can probably happen when you're listening to the song on repeat while awake as well, but to a lesser degree. I would just stop listening to this track for awhile and come back to it and it should sound the way you remember it again, eventually.

[@TheDeepThinker-sq3iy]

@@wizawhat Nah... the only thing I normally fall asleep listening to has been auditory ambient raining sounds(here on youtube)I've put this sound on to help me relax and go to sleep sometimes. I usually don't like to fall asleep with some kind of video or anything else playing(apart from the specified sound I listed above). But I will say this... the few times I have done that... it has, for SOME strange reason... resulted in VERY terrible nightmares. I've only done this about twice in my life. I've tried falling asleep with the tv running and have had bad dreams. it wasn't a horror movie or anything like that, so am perplexed as to why I would be sensitive to that like that when I've noticed other people do that(most notably my mom). I've never fallen asleep while watching anything since. but for whatever reason... I've never really had any such issues with the rain ambient sounds I've listened to on youtube. but when I get sleepy, I just turn everything off and go to bed/take a power nap.
