To be fair, it was absolutely an all-time classic to game music enthusiasts prior. But yes, the incorporation into the show definitely made it very mainstream popular as well
The reveal of what actually happened to Donald's sister / Huey, Dewey & Louie's mother after 8 decades and paired with THIS song was one of the most interesting things Disney has ever done with its legacy characters.
Honestly, no profound story or reason, just a song that's incredibly nostalgic. Even for people who never played it, it somehow summons up memories of the good old days. Even worked on you making you think of the Ducktales cartoon! I think it's just one of those classics that even 20 years from now or whatever, it'll still sound nostalgic. There's a remaster that had I thought about might have snuck onto the list that is a fantastic rendition as well!
Oh yeah, this track is iconic, but its iconic while being from a random NES game that most people have never played. It is just known as an amazing video game track.
That era of capcom chiptunes with megaman, duck tales, chip n dale, etc and their other licensed platformer games have amazing music. This one particularly has strong megaman vibes.
DuckTales was one of those few licensed games on the NES that was on par with mainstream games like MegaMan. Fun fact is this game got a Remaster in 2014 and even got full on voice acting and Disney even got the original voice cast to reprise their roles. It hit me with so much nostalgia in spite of never having played the og game but loved the hell out of the tv show as a kid. It was also the last project Alan Young ( the original voice of Scrooge McDuck ) did before he passed away.
there's also the fact that the game Shovel Knight makes use of the various cane mechanics from Ducktales, like being able to pogo around and golf swing.
The reason this song in particular is so popular is because it is one of the most covered video game music songs on RUclips. This is probably the only DuckTales song the majority of the people know of, not having played the game, but simply because they heared a cover of it.
Ive never played DuckTales, but I recognize this song from being used in a lot of memes of characters getting yoinked upwards very quickly. A sort of "My people need me" kinda thing, lol. I dunno why, the but the first few seconds of this track are used a lot for those kinds of things
They made an excellent reboot of the Ducktales cartoon in 2017. Not only did they use this song in the show, but they incorporated it into the story. Extremely cool easter egg!
Don't mind me, just dropping by with the lyrics as I had them saved. I'm sure it's elsewhere in this comment section, too. "Look to the stars my darling baby boys Life is strange and vast Filled with wonders and joys Face each new sun with eyes clear and true Unafraid of the unknown Because I'll face it all with you"
I really love this theme. When a friend of mine played the game and got to this stage, I immediately fell in love with it. I like both this and the remaster version, both are amazing ♥ And yeah, my more common nickname fits, too x'D
About Capcom working with Nintendo, Ace Attorney is Capcom and the entire series launched only on Nintendo handhelds since 2001. Later in 2012-2013 some games got iOS/Android ports, and only in 2019 that these ports/remasters crossed to all the consoles and PC, and other collections were created, but they're still all games that were once exclusive to Nintendo handhelds.
Seeing you cover this was a complete and uttery surprise! This is one of my favourite video game tracks of all time, and the remastered version of the song is even more beautiful. I hope you get a chance to listen to the remastered version as well!
This is the sound of nostalgia. Also, the remaster had an awesome remix of this (And the original voice actors. That game is just such a wonderful experience).
I adore the remaster of this song used in the duck tales remake. It changes out the high pitch chip tunes for full instrumentals and it’s such a relaxing vibe
Yeah this one is a fantastic chip tune song from a well liked but somewhat niche game. I've played the remake and its a really good time especially if you remember the show, personally i got to watch my mom's old vhs tape with 2 episodes from the show, but they were really iconic in my head
It is criminal that you have gone THIS long with no one recommending this one. It’s the de facto “classic” VGM track. Like THE core iconic track of all time really. If you liked this version, the game got a graphical remaster (remake?) with the OG cast reprising their roles for new VO work in the cutscenes in game. The remastered track is worth a listen along with the OST as a whole tbh. Glad you enjoyed it, another wonderful review(?) Jesse. A treat as always. ❤
Can’t fathom never having heard this song before! Even just being on the internet! Guess it shows how separated communities are even on the internet! Nice to hear you enjoyed it, it’s an awesome game and song! A classic! More nintendo NES music please!! Got to try some Mega Man!!
Regarding your question on if Goofy and Ducktales are in the same universe, yes! As a matter of fact, Donald Duck is actually Huey, Dewey and Louie's uncle! With Scrooge being Donald's uncle as well.
I never played the game or watched the show when I was young, but the this track still makes me feel nostalgic. Something about the upbeat, relatively simple structured music in the essence of retro chiptune really carries that feel. (It also was used pretty often in memes - specifically that opening bit, usually over video clips of something getting launched into the stratosphere.)
I heartily suggest the original Ducktales series. I watched it as a kid, and it was great. The reboot is also amazing. I'd suggest watching both, honestly.
So along with being in this game, obviously, it was also used in I Wanna Be The Guy. I also remember different videos of this being flooded with tributes to Neil Armstrong when he passed away. It's a fantastic track and count me in with the group that never played it but still gets nostalgic when I hear it.
The NES era might be a little older than a lot of people remember, but it was a time when licensed games were generally good and popular, and ducktales was generically good enough that most people that had an NES had it as weird as that seems. I was old enough to have an NES growing up, but wasnt old enough to .... ask about specific games? i was just getting what i was handed, so i got mario brothers 1 2 and 3 and tetris, sure. but i had ducktales and tmnt too because i was a kid and you were just given them. youre 100% on the moon, its just one of the levels that you can pick If you ever hear about a "pogo" mechanic in a videogame, its broadly popularized by this game. It was in zelda 2, hollow knight and shovel knight for example, which is fun little bit of trivia
I was listening to covers of this song, and I've been subbed to your channel for a while now and went Hm, I wonder if Jesse did a react to it. Two months ago?? Thanks YT algorithm. Glad you listened to it though, I also recommend listening to this live or orchestrated, it's got so many awesome covers.
This song has been remixed to all hell, and for good reason. It's just such a bop. So many good remixes out there. I've never played the game before, but definitely heard the song!
Regarding Capcom's connections with Nintendo: Capcom, primarily via a subsidiary named Flagship, was actually involved with 4 different Zelda games (Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Minish Cap and the GBA port of A Link to the Past) and 2 different Kirby games (Amazing Mirror and Squeak Squad). Capcom also released a quite a few Nintendo exclusive Resident Evil games over the years, though most of them were eventually ported to other systems. One of them was Resident Evil 4, which was part of a group of (at the time) Gamecube exclusive games known as the Capcom Five, in an effort to help Nintendo's struggling console.
Great song, and the absurd number of remixes is a testament to how beloved it is. I have a soft spot for the OCRemix version because of how soft yet powerful it is, but there's a bunch of other great ones out there.
Wow... this one really brings back some memories. I remember this from the Gameboy version of the DuckTales game. It was so captivating, I would sometimes just load that level and let the song play.
funny you mention the movie, i loved that movie as a kid! Treasure of the Lost Lamp is the name. but man, this song is such a banger, i'd always do this level last because i liked the song so much.
Journey to Silius was a late-era NES game that used the same MIDI system as was used with DuckTales' The Moon, and - surprise surprise - Journey to Silius' OST is also great.
This one's been popular for a long time, I remember there was this NES cover band called The Advantage that did a cover of it back in like 2005. Must have really struck a chord with 80s kids to become so ubiquitous
Definitely played this as a kid, also there's a song from Phantasy Star Online 2 called "Eternal Encore" that has a similar theme to this in places although much slower, but definitely shares a few similarities.
This is one of those songs that EVERY gaming music remix/cover channels will eventually cover, or already did. It's on every top 10 list and everything. It's almost cliché at this point. It's not undeserved, mind you, but if you ask me, super hyped songs like these could sometimes make room for more underappreciated songs, whenever people discuss great game music. I do really like the other music from the game tho.
The song is from the level where you go to the Moon. Scrooge is looking for treasures. It is more of a testament to how ethereal and exciting a trip to the moon would be. I would say it's popular because it evokes an old-school nostalgic feeling, even if you don't know what game it's from or the franchise. And yes, the song is used in a lot of memes of stuff floating away, for example: ruclips.net/video/Ut5j0Vnw4yk/видео.html
This is one of the few songs I can think of where a wordless video game song later received a new version of the same song but with lyrics from the same parent company. (check for: Della's Lullaby if you're interested, but doing so has spoilers for the show)
Ah, yes, The "person starts rotating and flying upwards out of frame while the camera doesn't move at all to follow and instead just cuts to the sky or space where the person is still rotating and flying upwards" theme. If you do a somewhat funny looping rotation, people will probably do the edit for the meme^^
If you stop and think about it, the fact that composers were able to use just primitive 8 bit bleep bloops that sounded good when they were doing their best imitation of actual instruments? They were some *really* talented individuals.
This is like one of those songs that everyone and their mother covered back in the early YT days. It was like this and the Snakeman theme from Megaman 3.
If you're ever willing, I'd also recommend the DuckTales Remastered version of this (and just that whole OST in general). It's honestly one of my favorite game soundtracks.
Yeah, the Ducktales characters are canon to the Mickey Mouse universe. Scrooge is Donald Duck's uncle, and the kids are Donald's nephews. Mickey himself doesn't appear in the show, because Ducktales tries to be separate from the mascot. Goofy also makes a cameo in the reboot series, and talks about stuff that happened in Goof Troop and A Goofy Movie.
Now that you've heard The Moon you should listen to "Monty in the Run" which is the only similar song that is even older and goes way harder than you'll believe anything from 1985 possibly can.
Launchpad ftw :D I'm so freakin glad this song became a meme cause I just cannot for the life of me remember where it came from. Before the days of youtube I would download midis of games like Megaman going "but where is the song??"
I didn't experience the game myself, though I may have seen pictures in magazines or whatever... But yeah, I didn't have an NES myself, only one of my friends that I hung out with did, and they didn't have it... However, I've always loved game music and as soon as the internet became easily accessible to me and such, I remember this being popular... Looking up remixes and covers, this would often come up... Although the main reason I might remember it could be the Brentalfloss version where he added silly lyrics ^_^; It's pretty catchy regardless though... By the way, I believe they remade this game not too long ago... They got a bunch of the cast from the original show to do voice acting for it and everything... There was some slightly annoying aspects like cutscenes not in the original (or they happened in the background before), which would interrupt the gameplay, but otherwise I think it was pretty cool... They may have even patched it to make it better, I forget... If it's still available and you like platformers or even just the original show, you might enjoy it... I think the moon is the final stage or something... Oh and yeah, I believe it has this tune in the remake too, so that should exist too if you're interested. Capcom was on multiple platforms... At the time of the NES, they did a bunch on it, but that's probably because it was the big platform of the time... I think they did a few Disney games too, unless I'm remembering incorrectly... I think they tended not to port a lot of games so much back in the day, unless they were really big games... Working on one console could be a lot easier... Of course, big stuff like Street Fighter often ended up on everything... NES has so many games with cool music, but I think sadly they're unlikely to get many requests for various reasons, at least not until the more modern stuff runs dry, which is unlikely... They tend to be short tracks, the limitations mean the sound quality isn't great and, while amazing for what they are, in many ways they are overshadowed by more modern VGM stuff... That handicaps 8-bit music in this reaction setting a lot... If you were more open to remixes/covers, I expect you'd get more requests for music from that era... But otherwise, you're likely only going to get the few very influential or most amazing pieces... And if there's a remake, they might request that version instead too... And there's recency bias in general too... I'm not too surprised you haven't gotten many NES requests... Maybe if you really want that kind of thing it'd be worth doing a themed month or whatever and asking specifically for 8-bit requests? Similar to the other videos based on themes you are currently making... I dunno...
its been popular for a long time and been used for memes of things just slowly floating away in weird situations, also im pretty sure the character is called gyro
The game's whole OST slaps, you should listen to African Mines. Another 8-bit song that would blow your mind is Gauntlet- Theme A evokes a Chopin like feeling.
I'm surprised you haven't heard it. I heard it for the first time on a vine or something and heard it frequently in a similar fashion for years before I ever learned it was from a game.
On the NES era: a lot of music is forgotten for a reason. Making good, memorable music on the NES hardware required a very specific skillset *and* had to be done under a lot of time pressure, since a lot of NES games had a concept-to-cartridge development cycle measured in months. There are, obviously, some NES games with very memorable music: the Mario series, the Mega Man series, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, the Ninja Gaiden series... but the average ratio of "games with good soundtracks" to "games" is much lower on the NES than it was on the SNES, since the latter was capable of much richer sounds that needed less imagination to compose with. By contrast, the N64 era had less personality. As I understand it, N64 was capable of wavetable MIDI synthesis, with the wavetable samples stored in the cartridge ROM and thus customizable for each game. That meant that composers no longer had to limit themselves to what the medium could do, and that made "video game music" less distinct and memorable as a category. (Still had some bangers, of course.)
this song is so good that it sounds like a top-shelf credits theme, but instead was just a single stage theme. it's just so damn good, and brentalfloss ruined it for me forever because the lyrics pop into my head whenever I hear the original track the Gametal remix of the ducktales:remastered version is super super good, check it out if you haven't.
Well I could've told you why there's not that many NES songs being requested, the amount of Music made for the NES that's longer than 20 to 50 seconds is VERY RARE. I'm pretty sure you mentioned a long time ago that you'd preferred longer songs so, there goes 99% of the NES's library. And one more thing, being that these songs are so short...usually the first 3 to 15 seconds are the main attraction, everything else is basically part of the "loop" there are some exceptions, but again, barely ever happens.
Too bad nobody told you that there's a modern rendition of the theme by Vert (Jake Kaufman) for the appropriately named "DuckTales Remastered", would've loved to hear what you think about it. =D Oh, and they also incorporated it into a modern DuckTales series, as an emotional piece! =) Hiroshige Tonomura composed for the original NES DuckTales.
@@SirioNovilunium Well, I skimmed the comments before and even always Ctrl-F before making mine. Thanks for pointing it out, but replying to everyone who notes it, additionally will just bloat Jesse's mentions with even more "superfluous" comments.
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
This song became so popular it was even incorporated into the 2017 Ducktales reboot series.
And it's such a cute way, too!
Yeah! Search "Della's Moon Lullaby" for the clip from the show
@@AnthyLoneExoriaAww, yeah, I knoww! ;w;
To be fair, it was absolutely an all-time classic to game music enthusiasts prior. But yes, the incorporation into the show definitely made it very mainstream popular as well
The reveal of what actually happened to Donald's sister / Huey, Dewey & Louie's mother after 8 decades and paired with THIS song was one of the most interesting things Disney has ever done with its legacy characters.
People use the first 15 secs for memes. Like something getting booted so hard it flies into space
Honestly, no profound story or reason, just a song that's incredibly nostalgic. Even for people who never played it, it somehow summons up memories of the good old days.

I’m betting this series is going to be a “oh THATS where that song is from” moment over and over

It was also the last project Alan Young ( the original voice of Scrooge McDuck ) did before he passed away.
there's also the fact that the game Shovel Knight makes use of the various cane mechanics from Ducktales, like being able to pogo around and golf swing.
@@scotty110 It's also worth noting that Shovel Knight's composer Jake Kaufman worked on the soundtrack for DuckTales Remastered

"Look to the stars my darling baby boys

Face each new sun with eyes clear and true
Unafraid of the unknown
Because I'll face it all with you"
The version of this in the remaster is fantastic! Oh, and the pilot is Launchpad McQuack
i was really hoping he would listen to the remaster as well its so good!
@@astuffedpotato9256 The remaster is good, though I do like the Transylvania theme more.
I really love this theme. When a friend of mine played the game and got to this stage, I immediately fell in love with it.

I don't think this can "out classic" the Tetris theme, Mario 1-1, Pokemon's battle theme, and other similar gaming themes, but it's up there.
Growing up in the 80's and 90's, played this game a ton, but this was definitely my favorite stage, mainly because of this soundtrack.
Something about this theme and Stickerbush Symphony make me cry and neither of them are from particularly emotional scenes. They're regular levels!

CRAZY DUCK IN SPACE
I didn't experience the game myself, though I may have seen pictures in magazines or whatever... But yeah, I didn't have an NES myself, only one of my friends that I hung out with did, and they didn't have it... However, I've always loved game music and as soon as the internet became easily accessible to me and such, I remember this being popular... Looking up remixes and covers, this would often come up... Although the main reason I might remember it could be the Brentalfloss version where he added silly lyrics ^_^; It's pretty catchy regardless though... By the way, I believe they remade this game not too long ago... They got a bunch of the cast from the original show to do voice acting for it and everything... There was some slightly annoying aspects like cutscenes not in the original (or they happened in the background before), which would interrupt the gameplay, but otherwise I think it was pretty cool... They may have even patched it to make it better, I forget... If it's still available and you like platformers or even just the original show, you might enjoy it... I think the moon is the final stage or something... Oh and yeah, I believe it has this tune in the remake too, so that should exist too if you're interested.
Capcom was on multiple platforms... At the time of the NES, they did a bunch on it, but that's probably because it was the big platform of the time... I think they did a few Disney games too, unless I'm remembering incorrectly... I think they tended not to port a lot of games so much back in the day, unless they were really big games... Working on one console could be a lot easier... Of course, big stuff like Street Fighter often ended up on everything...
NES has so many games with cool music, but I think sadly they're unlikely to get many requests for various reasons, at least not until the more modern stuff runs dry, which is unlikely... They tend to be short tracks, the limitations mean the sound quality isn't great and, while amazing for what they are, in many ways they are overshadowed by more modern VGM stuff... That handicaps 8-bit music in this reaction setting a lot... If you were more open to remixes/covers, I expect you'd get more requests for music from that era... But otherwise, you're likely only going to get the few very influential or most amazing pieces... And if there's a remake, they might request that version instead too... And there's recency bias in general too... I'm not too surprised you haven't gotten many NES requests... Maybe if you really want that kind of thing it'd be worth doing a themed month or whatever and asking specifically for 8-bit requests? Similar to the other videos based on themes you are currently making... I dunno...
its been popular for a long time and been used for memes of things just slowly floating away in weird situations, also im pretty sure the character is called gyro
It was Launchpad :D
DuckTales is just an excellent game all around: music, gameplay, graphics.
I'd love to hear what you think of the music in Streets of Rage 1, 2 or even 3, if you're into that kinda electronic music that they're emulating
The game's whole OST slaps, you should listen to African Mines. Another 8-bit song that would blow your mind is Gauntlet- Theme A evokes a Chopin like feeling.
I loved watching DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp so much as a kid
As you mentioned, this song is a meme and this is how I heard of it first.
This song makes up for how difficult the level was.
SPEAKING of NES Ducktales, i highly recommend the Transylvania theme, imo it slaps just as hard
I'm surprised you haven't heard it. I heard it for the first time on a vine or something and heard it frequently in a similar fashion for years before I ever learned it was from a game.
I missed out on Vine in it's heyday if that's where it grew popularity. Never really been big on apps besides my guitar tuner / twitter lol
Legendary track.
This song has always sounded like an ending theme to me, not a stage theme.
The 2 main bad guys were Magica DeSpell and Glomgold
On the NES era: a lot of music is forgotten for a reason. Making good, memorable music on the NES hardware required a very specific skillset *and* had to be done under a lot of time pressure, since a lot of NES games had a concept-to-cartridge development cycle measured in months. There are, obviously, some NES games with very memorable music: the Mario series, the Mega Man series, Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, the Ninja Gaiden series... but the average ratio of "games with good soundtracks" to "games" is much lower on the NES than it was on the SNES, since the latter was capable of much richer sounds that needed less imagination to compose with.
By contrast, the N64 era had less personality. As I understand it, N64 was capable of wavetable MIDI synthesis, with the wavetable samples stored in the cartridge ROM and thus customizable for each game. That meant that composers no longer had to limit themselves to what the medium could do, and that made "video game music" less distinct and memorable as a category. (Still had some bangers, of course.)
Fun fact. The time signature in this song is slightly weird.
Oh Jessie, I didn't know you were going to react to Peak.
this song is so good that it sounds like a top-shelf credits theme, but instead was just a single stage theme. it's just so damn good, and brentalfloss ruined it for me forever because the lyrics pop into my head whenever I hear the original track
the Gametal remix of the ducktales:remastered version is super super good, check it out if you haven't.
Hold on, this music is from DuckTales? Welp I guess I learned something today :D
Silver surfer BGM 1 and 2 if you want NES music. It's so good! Pictionary theme as well by the same composer
for NES music, you should definitely check out the gimmick soundtrack someday. greatest chiptune music ever written.
Sounds like people need to start suggesting more Nintendo music. They've NEVER been slouches in the vgm department.
You might have heard it before, it's used in a lot of youtube videos and shorts.
The pilots name is Launchpad iirc
yea
You are thinking of Launchpad McQuack
The pilot name is Launchpad McQuack.

I must go my planet needs me.
Well I could've told you why there's not that many NES songs being requested, the amount of Music made for the NES that's longer than 20 to 50 seconds is VERY RARE.
I'm pretty sure you mentioned a long time ago that you'd preferred longer songs so, there goes 99% of the NES's library. And one more thing, being that these songs are so short...usually the first 3 to 15 seconds are the main attraction, everything else is basically part of the "loop" there are some exceptions, but again, barely ever happens.
If i want to request tracks should i wait in a queue or is it sometimes taken randomly (which is honestly better ) ?
Not a lot of NES music on this channel? Are you familiar with the Pictionary NES theme?
He actually did that one recently (as in, last year)
@@Riverbui very nice. folks are doing their recommendation jobs well, then.
I remember most, Brentalfloss's Lyric version of this XD
Shinji Mikami of RE4 and God Hand fame made a Goofy game for the snes, and its very good
Too bad nobody told you that there's a modern rendition of the theme by Vert (Jake Kaufman) for the appropriately named "DuckTales Remastered", would've loved to hear what you think about it. =D
Oh, and they also incorporated it into a modern DuckTales series, as an emotional piece! =)
Hiroshige Tonomura composed for the original NES DuckTales.
If you sort comments by new and scroll all the way down, you can see the second comment already mentioned the remastered version.
@@SirioNovilunium Well, I skimmed the comments before and even always Ctrl-F before making mine.
Thanks for pointing it out, but replying to everyone who notes it, additionally will just bloat Jesse's mentions with even more "superfluous" comments.
can u do the amazon nes theme from ducktales?
Launchpad was the pilots name.
Obligatory NES ROBOCOP 3 OP and Contra Force's tracks soon, it's inevitable now. You can't escape.
Launchpad McQuack!
lmao this is where its from??? im dead
