​@@Tacos-de-biztecat least for deathless runs, dark rapture and dark cotton are on par in terms of difficulty. And that's with the facr that you can switch characters for dark rapture. With meat boy alone that chapter is easily harder than dark cotton

[@Kris_Petra]

I hate rapture because it has the only music I don’t like and the area is boring

[@Fiddl3head]

I like how Rapture goes from the most gloomy sounding one to the most threatening. Honestly, with how unforgiving most of the levels in Dark Rapture are, it's very fitting. My other favourite is The End. It sounds so desolate and lonely, which is very fitting of course. I also honestly always wished the chapter itself was longer; maybe 10 levels instead of 5.

[@monstru1572]

Yeah I dunno man, end’s levels were brutal and I don’t think I can stand another 5 of ‘em, especially Omega

Its weird, and yet fascinating that the compossers of the music in this game made this world themes sound very awesome together besides being totally separated zones, they sure made an awesome job, and the clean cuts in this video make all of them sound like as one, and it's a fricking banger all the songs be together like this

[@L10kwnsns]

@@ItHamBoi thanks for the info, what a shame that the music wasn't licensed for these stupid reasons

[@kunduzhospitalhater]

The Rapture has to be my favorite. The massive crumbling buildings, that piano. The atmosphere is unbeaten. Especially if you pay attention to the actually level backgrounds. 5-1 is very close up, and 5-20's background is very far away, meaning that meat boy is moving away from the epicenter of the blast, or the city in general.

[@therealdiner]

Really? I never noticed that, that’s a cool detail

[@Obsidian_Knight]

Probably to get away from Larries' Lament. Don't know why but it took me a day to beat them

[@therealdiner]

I wonder if the Rapture city/the bomb Dr Fetus detonates leads to the apocalypse in The End is Nigh?

[@Velovetre]

There's something really satisfying about hearing the nice light world verse and the pure angst scratchy dark version back to back. It's so guttural, it scratches an itch for musical aggression. The conclusion with Cotton Alley is funny because it sounds like a big climactic resolution, when the game doesn't even have much stakes at all. The soundtrack is the best quality of this whole game.

[@Fanboydemobpsycho100]

I love the end chapter. I like this melancholy and empty atmosphere where there are only stones, the meat boy and the Fetus

[@Hexarius01]

I love the end chapters, Light amde you rrealise that now enemy have funny new hats, and lazer funs instead of slingshots Dark mode made you realise why we have no recording of Tarnished Sword, becuase of the goddamn fucking shitty unblanced fucking crappy difficulty of 3s X-TREME (pluz zipbomb and subsapce getting speed boost while allies getting blinded) game : the battel bricks, aka a the battle cats-inspired game, but actaully painful

@@Pestii it was mainly the forest dark theme I had an urge to listen to, I don’t necessarily enjoy the menu themes more than the world levels, i was just looking for the menu themes. Also I love the timing when you swap over to the dark world themes, that would be something I’d probably do if I were to make a video like this, it’s really smooth.

You're right! This from the soundtrack that released with the game's launch in 2010 (Xbox 360, PS3 later etc), composed by Danny Baranowsky. Any version of the game that released after 2015 (PS4/Xbox1 etc) has a new soundtrack composed by Ridiculon + other guest artists. So unless you're on an older gen console or Steam where you can toggle between the two, you don't get to hear these :

[@AAA-pz3ec]

Forest light: Hello new player! Forest dark: so you want something harder? ok Hospital: Things are getting harder by default Hospital dark: even harder? alright Salt factory: depressso Salt factory dark: hot depresso Hell: This is literally hell. Hell dark: this is hell hell. yes, this exists. Rapture: World is dead, you're the only hope. Rapture dark: it's already dead and still, you want an even bigger challenge? so be it. The end: 5 last levels, and you're fighting the final boss. This is the end of your journey. The end dark: PSYCH YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS THE END? Cotton alley: cotton candy music Cotton alley dark: spicy cotton candy Internets: you were not supposed to be here

@@OtroGuapoMas yeah, ridiculon eventually improved over time, compared to their 2014 isaac ost, they upgraded a lot.

Ridiculon's music is mid tbh, in super meat boy and tboi, yes, i said it, ridiculon's music is mid on tboi, i prefer mudeth's, it's just better in every way

[@invalid-user.]

​​@@EithanPereira-bb9cwMudeth focuses on melody, while Ridiculon focuses on atmosphere. For example The Corpse theme is often considered mid, but as an ambient track, it does an excellent job of conveying the mood of a corpse. Can't we just love both composers equally? After all, they both created amazing tracks. + recommend to listen The End is Nigh soundtrack, it sounds very awesome

[@GoingToAFuneral]

I remember when I first got to hospital the first thought that came to mind while listening to the map theme was “Holy shit! This is good!” I wasn’t really a fan of the forest themes but everything past hospital was just 10/10

[@ThinkyBoi42]

I have a head canon that meat boy would react in time with the music to reflect different feelings based on the world, and the dark world would be a dark reflection. Like: F Light: Simple confidence, smiling for a new adventure, it won’t be too tough. F dark: Ignorance, a vacant grin, happily oblivious to the many dangers around him. H light: an air of mystery, and unease at the sight of his surroundings. H Dark: Utter confusion, going green at the sight of all the blood. S F light: nervousness, and occasional side stepping of missiles. S F dark: Hyperawareness, scared to even step, yet having to constantly move, reflecting the factories ceaseless movement. H light: uncomfortable, occasionally wiping sweat from his brow while gazing nervously at the demons around him. H dark: Fear and panic, wiping away tears and clenching his eyes shut at the first sight of horror. R light: curiosity, looking around to find any sign of life. R dark: paranoia, scanning the city for anyone or anything watching him. End light: determination, staring seriously ahead of him. End dark: overconfidence, looking smugly ahead of him C A light: excitement, while finally being in the spotlight. C A dark: greediness, hogging the spotlight angrily, being sure to keep meat boy out of frame. I think it’s a cool idea, and I’d love to see something like it animated one day.

[@steponkusceponas4085]

Here's that with SMB forever worlds: Chipper grove light: Being pumped for a new adventure CG dark: anxiety, not knowing what to expect, being nervous of the future The clinic: lightly unnerved, still moving on C dark: mortified, in a constant state of fight-or-flight Tetanusville: toughened up, thinking how to survive T dark: Instinctual, becoming an animal only thinking of living the lab: dauntless, braving oneself through all hazards L dark: savage, destroying everything in sight the other side: sad anger, seeking dr fetus so he could pay OS dark: despair, mourning everything he knew and loved
