Thanks to dmitrivalencia for requesting and supporting me. The download is available on my Patreon page. The style is reused from Whirlwing - Speedway 1, which you might like to get from my Music Store! iceferno.bandcamp.com/track/speedway-1-amethyst-city-extended-mix

[@Spitta504TV]

Hey Iceferno. This is dope. It brings a "Boss Battle" feel to real life! Can we get an extended version?

[@dred05m61]

Iceferno: you’re an awesome mixer and soundprofessional.

Iceferno Pro the remix theme of the Shedder Disco Brain in a jar Train T800 hulk Spider-Man, but it was Batman the whole time who can fly with his cape And of course Godzilla

[@SS3-Rick-Man-X]

Iceferno Pro May I please use your tracks in my games as long as I give you credit for them of course? Also, you have a new subscriber and a like.

**boss starts dancing**💃🚨

[@IncarnationOfNeutrality]

This would go well with just about any boss fight in any game

[@Iceferno]

Underrated comment.

[@Nyah420]

I just keep picturing Shadow Dancer.

[@praystation]

@@Nyah420 my screen name in counterstrike 1.6 was shadow dancer. Alas people in early 2000 didn't know about sega's shinobi and thought i was an exotic dancer with that name.

[@maskedgunbamboo8138]

[@SilverHunterN]

This could fit Strider Hiryu, or Shadowman from Megaman games pretty easily, so yeah.

This is perfect for the 2nd boss (THE RAVE NINJA!)

[@jamesmccarthy3029]

Yuzo koshiro would approve.🤘

[@Augestein]

Seriously, this is one sick remix. How does this not get more attention?

[@SilverHunterN]

Overrated videos of people screaming for literally 2 seconds, and somehow gets 30 million views. Or people making 10 second cartoon clips whispering "bad place" with an old man voice. Yes, lazy videos get this far compared to Iceferno and other people who make longer than 10 second videos.

[@RifetOkic]

I discovered it by accident. Was listening to Game OST’s on YTM, a race game song and a Tekken song . Out of the blue i hear this one playing afterwards. DAYUM This sounds epic i thought! Then started to research. I never had a Sega, but always felt it was for the cool kids with cool ass games haha. MAN what a track, thanks! The original sounds good too btw. But this remaster is some serious good work

[@kvern84]

I was looking for the original tune and i found this version. Dude, this is just perfect.

[@Iceferno]

+Luiz Henrique Campos Silva Thanks!

[@defaultdefault812]

Keeps the energy, desperation and danger of the original but intensifies it. You understood the meaning of the song; the message. This is where so many remixes get it wrong. Excellent remix.

[@Iceferno]

I always try to stay faithful to the original in some aspects, some of my remixes are 'HD copies', but I do also experiment on occasion. I'm glad you noticed the detail. :)

[@rkrim2008]

1:23 nice flute 🙃

[@jay-n_23]

Am I the only one who genuinely believes that this instrumental sounds like it'd fit perfectly as a Yakuza boss theme?

[@HereticDuo]

This theme gave me the power to beat spiderman batman and the terminator.

[@TheConejitabunny]

Don't forget Godzilla :)

[@geoa8071]

The best boss theme bar none from my childhood (and perhaps ever). You truly did a wonderful job with this remix! Anything from Yuzo Koshiro with your talent is awesome!

[@Iceferno]

He's my biggest influence so that means a lot! Thank you. I'll see what other tracks of his I can do. :)

[@SparkX61]

I didn't know Yuzo Koshiro made Terrible Beat too. I only know he made Never Return Alive from SOR 2 and Mr. Y from SOR 4.

[@solemagus4761]

Just trained to this yesterday. It was a productive session. Weights + Shuffling for cardio lol

[@ToABetterTomorrow]

Right on! I was working out to this jam early in the AM recently too and now I'm back for more.

[@minaminotaiyo6055]

Now this ends up sounding like it came straight out of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune. Amazing!

[@MoonlightStrider]

The fact both soundtracks are done by Yuzo, this is a fantastic comment Also now I can imagine Joe Musashi chasing after the Devil Z

[@dred05m61]

Beautiful remix with authentic sound effects crafted inside this masterpiece of Yuzo Koshiro, Iceferno did his job very well.

[@majm9262]

This is a master piece 💯

[@carlosroberto366]

I am not into remixes because they hardly ever keep the essence but this one is very decent! If they were to remake this game then this would be the perfect fit for the second boss as most said. Edit: saying the music was "very decent" is just not fair, it is PERFECT! Edit2: Ryan's Ford comment below describes exactly what I thought and did not find the right words to express myself. "Keeps the energy, desperation and danger of the original but intensifies it. You understood the meaning of the song; the message. This is where so many remixes get it wrong. "

[@AlecIceferno]

Thanks a lot. :) I recently finished a Streets Of Rage album, but I sometimes wonder about doing something with Revenge Of Shinobi in future. I agree that this could be the 2nd boss theme in a remake. I could try a traditional version for the Lobster Samurai.

[@barrywilliams5222]

@@AlecIceferno interesting. I was literally about to re-compose this. had to check if had been done. a good mix. too ravey to fit the original concept of sythesiers

[@galerito2543]

This is the best video game song remix ever made.

[@rizer80]

Perfect soundtrack for when you have to fight someone , please your girl, party hard with your friends at a rave AT SAME TIME

[@Dougkntz]

Man. That was so great. You just have this unique perspective about the sound in these games that influenced so many.

[@darkelf9145]

listening to this masterpiece since 2017!

[@RedPowerStorm]

This would be the perfect theme to fight the Shadow Dancer on the dancefloor.

[@Wip3ou7]

Fantastic remake. Sounds even better than the original and thats quite rare in art.

[@DaedalosC9]

If The Revenge of Shinobi ever gets a SegaCD fan release, this theme SHOULD be included

[@SilverHunterN]

I've been waiting for someone to make mods to Shinobi 1 and Shinobi 3 on steam, but there are very few. The Shinobi 3 Enhanced mod is good, but it doesn't let you save in anyway during the use of this mod. I wonder if anyone is willing ot make mods to this wonderful series? I'd be willing to pay them, long as its not something like £30, which is a price of a game.

[@waynebarton1633]

I've got the actual mega drive game of this and years back is that I've CLOCKED it on 1 LIFE on 1 credit on HARDEST setting with no continues back in the days.

[@Iceferno]

Nice work. I've owned it on Mega Games 2 and most fondly on Mega 6 Vol 3, the cart which played a huge part in getting me into music.

[@waynebarton1633]

Iceferno Pro Music is the message for your mind, body, and soul and I hope you ENJOY it to the full and remember Keep the Groovin see you soon PEACE OUT ✌.

[@defaultdefault812]

This game was hard as nails on the default setting. Bravo sir.

[@noname-cp8ki]

This is *best version* of remix for this composition! THX!

[@bombaaaaaar]

ありがとうございます！You are a genius. I respect you. I would love to see more of this kind of work.

[@Iceferno]

Thank you so much. I'll see what I can work on in future.

[@CaliforniaBigHunks]

I really like how this sounds like how yuzo has been doing the maximum tune ost. So cheers for that great job.

[@metalbobted]

Man if I still fought I would use this as my music when walking to the ring. I'd probably never lose either since it gets me so pumped 😂👊🏻

[@thepeller210]

I'm not usually into these 'remixes' but this one has captured the feel of the original game well! Well done!

[@Iceferno]

These comments always mean a lot to me. Thank you. :)

[@EdgarChicas]

Whoa! How did I miss this? Had me dancing on my chair :D

[@metalbobted]

Me Too!!!

[@Powerof7even]

When you gotta fight the ninja master but be at the rave by 10.

[@torquetrain8963]

If you are not compelled or motivated by this masterful art, then you must be dead. When facing adversity, this music can give you courage and peace to win the battle. Determination is defined by this work. Excellent creative skill was used in making this piece. I have found myself to be stronger with this 'terrible beat'. Again thank you to Iceferno Pro for consistently delivering quality music. I wish you continued success in your career as a motivator and artist. Blessings and good health to you!

Very awesome. Thanks for letting me use this in the upcoming Revenge of Shinobi review.

[@stevengondosiswanto4732]

Yuzo Koshiro would proud of this. It has wangan midnight maximum tune trance vibe. Well, it was like Yuzo sensei himself make this remix. You're amazing !!!

deep bow.......very beautiful

[@live_monkey2485]

Ah the memories of playing Shinobi as a kid

[@SkotchOG]

I'm definitely feeling that

[@nickcapella2440]

All I have to say is do more like this. I love fast paced trance techno progressive trance whatever you call this. It's great for action sequences. Plus it sounds amazing on a sound system.

[@Iceferno]

It's just a case of when. I want to do some Extreme-G and Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune tracks like this.

[@nickcapella2440]

@@Iceferno oh hell yes. I can already tell the extreme g ones are going to be great. Well I'm subscribed lol.

[@RifetOkic]

⁠​⁠@@IcefernoMy god, coincidence does NOT exist. This morning i was looking for a song of Wangan Midnight Maximum tune - Stream of Tears. I started to miss it and repeated it often. Then another Tekken song i never heard: then out of the blue your Shinobi mix is played and i was instantly SOLD. I’m slightly obsessed now, thanks for the tune. You have great taste ! 💯

[@LCVII]

This remix makes me think of Joe Musashi facing off a revamped *Shadow Dancer* (Revenge of Shinobi's disco boss, not the protagonist from the homonimous game) and DJ K-Washi (from SoR4) at the same time, in a huge rave in one of the final stages of a really epic game. Or maybe John Wick in a fifth instalment, facing top-tier japanese assassins in just another rave.

[@MrThunderwing]

Oh man, this is fantastic! Great job dude.

[@tabsw2965]

this is absolutely brilliant! really brings out the adrenaline of fighting the bosses I had as a child. be proud x

[@wrightguyz]

sounds like Wangan Midnight , nice work...classy version

[@cheeszy4696]

True

[@h3lltr00p]

The original tune is from Yuzo Koshiro, and the tunes from Wangan Midnight too. It'a a natural evolution for this cover :D

[@defaultdefault812]

Can you link me the song you are referring to?

[@sushiboots]

I just went on went on a shinobi remix marathon in the past couple of hours and came across this just now. Fuck. This is by FAR the best cover out there. You better be making some big $$ with those skills or something's wrong.

[@Iceferno]

I'm making some, but a lot of people aren't buying. I have a Bandcamp and recently put out a Streets Of Rage album: iceferno.bandcamp.com/album/streets-of-wrath

[@jimmypk1353]

BRAVO! One of the best remixes ever!

[@themess9518]

MASTERPIECE!

[@tomasbarber4139]

This has a great Yakuza Kiwami vibe. It's freaking excellent!!

[@TheWatcherBis]

Your remix is much better than the original. If Sega remakes "The revenge of shinobi" one day I want this song to play at least during the fight against the shadow dancer.

[@Iceferno]

Thanks a lot. :)

[@SilverHunterN]

Fun fact: The mini boss in stage 2-1 in Shinobi III, is literally the shadow dancer from the disco. I'm guessing he came back to life as part of the story. That would explain why there are lives in shinobi games! The original version of terrible beat is good, but its repetitive, whereas Iceferno put a new segment in his version, making it less repetitive while maintaining the style.

[@h0lyrs422]

This should have 100x the number of views

[@SolidEyeYEG]

Wow, the tune translates perfectly to this style. Or you just worked some magic. :)

[@Iceferno]

I'd like to think it's a bit of both. :)

[@corendubose6755]

The atmosphere in this just transported me to downtown Tokyo at night!

[@lordbiffington]

[@aquayum72]

@iceferno - you need to get this pitched to Sega, to consider it in the new Shinobi remake coming up!!!

[@hermityt1663]

Imagine this being the boss music for the new game. I don't think I would be able to focus on the boss 🤣

[@sabrinap5367]

great cover from an amazing game.

[@shokmusic_AC]

Wow! This track is fire 🔥

[@dmitrivalencia]

thank you :-) finally you did this piece from Shinobi! :-)

[@psylentknight]

This is a fantastic cover! You kept the intensity of the original while making it your own. Mark of a solid cover artist.

[@Iceferno]

Thanks. :) It was kind of a miracle it happened at all. I'm often so intimidated by certain game soundtracks, that it takes a long time for me to remix the themes.

[@psylentknight]

@@Iceferno I completely understand where you're coming from with that. The final one I ever made as an F-Zero medley was something I was mulling over for years until I finally made it happen. Life changed aside, I felt like I wasn't ready until I just did it.

[@terencewhite3696]

Terrible Beat is just BAD ASS track and always will be forever Yuzo forever !!!!and this Remix takes it to another Level !!!Damn

[@GoldKingsMan]

I remember this on the game gear version,so lively game.

[@ChikikyoKONAMI]

If Joe Musashi made it into Streets Of Rage 4 (Which sadly Sega rejected) this remix should definitely be used for a boss fight!!

[@Iceferno]

Imagine if the Stage 6 dojo had a branching path to Musashi himself. He may have had involvement in the stage early in development, given Olivier's "Do Joe" track name.

[@ShadowDancer_]

Well, at least there's a picture of him on the sewer stage :)

[@riotmos]

Great remix! Sure brings back fun memories.

[@Zarzak]

This is so awesome. Keep up the great work man.

[@Zarzak]

Still listening to this 4 years later :) Hope you're still making music. This mix has an nice breathy sound that makes it feel almost cold. Lots of strong reverb makes it a tragic song. That "flute" section roughly in the middle of the song further helps this. You really captured a lot of great emotions in a song this energetic and I like your unique voice on the original material!
