Ultimate Koopa (Super Mario 64) - GaMetal Remix

The self-titled GaMetal album ends with the ultimate remix of the ultimate Bowser theme: enter the almighty Ultimate Koopa from Super Mario 64!
Ultimate Koopa has always been one of my favorite Bowser themes. So much so, that it was a part of the second ever GaMetal song in 2009: a small Bowser medley that featured the normal Bowser 64 theme, the SMB3 Bowser, and Ultimate Koopa.
I've been waiting 10 years to do a full rendition of this song. Let's-a go!

I had to feature the old guitar (Jackson RR3) that I used in 2009 in at least ONE of these GaMetal album songs! The GaMetal album will be available for everyone to download tomorrow afternoon (December 1st). This will coincide with our last Jonny Atma Q&A/News Live Stream for 2019, which will start around 3:00 PM US Central Time. These usually last 1-2 hours. I'll see you all tomorrow! :)

While it sucks they went bankrupt, since the M&L series was fun... What did they expect when they went from 2009 to 2013 without releasing anything, then following up Dream Team with 2015's Paper Jam, and then in 2017 and 2019 only did remakes of old games in the series?

[@Typh98]

THE CONSTANT BUILD UPS IN THIS REMIX, HOOOOOO BOY SO EPIC. I expected a remix of Ultimate Koopa in 2017 because of the regular Bowser Battle remix, I thought you'd never do it but here it is! I loved the Bowser plush in this, couldn't help but laugh. I think around 2013 I remember browsing through the gametal website, listening to your old stuff, one of them was the Bowser Medley and was really surprised there was no full remix of Ultimate Koopa. It's been so long, thank you so much for-to remixing Ultimate Koopa, and what a ride this GaMetal Project One has been. I see an N64 at the end, and based on a hint you had already given us this has to be an N64 medley. I was hoping for another SNES medley but that can wait, I'm hoping a Banjo-Kazooie song makes the cut.

[@Typh98]

[@calebcologna8681]

Iirc this was the first gametal vid I found and it’s still so sick

[@ER-je3fd]

This is probably my favorite bowser cover in this channel, I particularly love how it cuts to the organs as a single voice at 1:49, the abrupt change in dynamics is something I really enjoy a lot. One other song I love how it changes in dynamics is 'Scrap and build ourselves' by Motoi Sakuraba, which I request to this channel and will continue to do so, since it has both a composition by my favorite classical composer Chopin, and Sakuraba's amazing composition skills. The game it is from Eternal Sonata, is all about Chopin's life, which is pretty cool. It's in my opinion a pretty underrated final boss theme.

[@FuryFX]

The return of the Red Rhoads AND an N64 medley? This is more than I could ever ask for
