@Joey Ford Lad, the snes wasn't really capable of much because of the memory per game which is why snes games had few soundtacks. Rare had pushed the system to the limits to create dkc. The music for Aquatic Ambience took weeks to complete since David Wise had to do it manually and blend the sounds to make the illusion of long notes. I never said that old music from the snes wasn't good I like it's music and I respect the developers for creating such a masterpiece.
@PickledKong64 It is capable but not much since it had it's restrictions but that makes games like dkc more impressive since it was memberable. Btw i don't know what you mean by what am i listening to so I'll just say Study Me by Zutomayo. :]
There is no snes sound chip it uses midi with soundfonts. The games have the soundfonts in them, and the midi synth plays it. Its more like quicktime, really.
@@marcusbullock630 The SNES does use audio samples but it has nothing to do with soundfonts. On the contrary, people often create soundfonts from samples that were used in SNES games.
It was a different time. When passion and talent was put into every aspect of games. They became legend and we remember them because they decided to go all out.

I remember renting this game while staying at my grandparents in FL in the 90s. The memories. SNES was the definition of being happy with the simpler things, today games are too complex and just not the same. We were lucky.
La verdad mi sona favorita es hop head hod por su sountrack pega muy bien con la ambientacion de un vocan que pena que solo habia 2 niveles del volcan 3 si contamos la sona secreta
The part from 1:28 sounds like the opening from a song I heard on French Radio called Une Autre Histoire made in the late 80's. Wonder if Dave Wise was inspired from the song..
I call 1995 the year of music in video gaming. Lots of good soundtracks were released that year. With this, Chrono Trigger, Trials of Mana, Tales of Phantasia, Mega Man 7, Killer Instinct and Terranigma all in one year, which one is better?
@@marcosjulio9337 Not really, If anyone else but David Wise made the soundtrack, they wouldnt even care about adding background sounds to enhance their music and the atmosphere of the level, It Just sounds unnecessary, complicated and people wouldnt even miss a sound effect in the background since nobody used to do that in the 90s. Since Its David Wise However, he went hard on the soundtrack and decided to add those extra noises for imersion, and that's one of the best aspects about his work as a composer, the extra effort to use SFX as part of the level's music to create imersion is just creative and set his work apart from other videogame composers easily, especially during the 90s.
You have to think us 80’s babies and 90s kids will always have this game and these tracks etched in our brains until we get dementia lol or we die. Crazy man. I miss the 90s 😢.
It's kinda common for N64 games to have sounds similar to that of the SNES. Typically it could be because the N64 has sounds running off the CPU whereas the SNES has its own sound chip, although the N64 is capable of handling higher quality audio... somewhat. I'm a nerd, I know. xP
We need the Kremlings getting their own Videogame Series with them as the main Protagonists for once it be a welcome change and Spin Off Series too. I would love to play as one of the Kremlings themselves.
Oh? You wanna play as a Kremling? Why not play Donkey Kong: King of Swing in the GBA and play through a bit of the game? Then you can play as Kremling in the minigames
HAHAHAHA YOU EXPECTED A "NAME EVERY KREMLING" JOKE I KNOW YOU DID WELL TOO BAD INSTEAD YOU GOT A 3RD COMMENT OF ONE OF THE 5 GUYS THAT ARE EVERYWHERE!!!
I honestly think this sounds like a more relaxed and positive version of Lava Reef Zone Act 1 from Sonic and Knuckles. That's a good thing, I think both tracks are about as good.

Nothing like how most lava levels sounds these days, really shows off the majestic side to volcanoes, usually seen only as threatening and omnious.
The SNES was capable of so much.
it actually wasn't, it took a long time to make the music because the chip didn't have enough space to to hold a lot of things

The SNES soundchip still blows me away

def and pc/video game composers that mastered the technology still blow me away lol

This song nearly brings me to tears. This soundtrack is so legendary. David Wise is an insane composer and amazing creative mind.
Guess he is truly…
WISE
Like Koji Kondo he is a video game music genius
Yeah, and ZUN and Phyrnna are insane composers and amazing creative minds too like David. Plus they have made my childhood golden like that.
@koishiwii8370 I haven't heard of them what have they worked on?
I could fall asleep to this, it's so relaxing and nostalgic.
Just don’t catch on fire while sleeping!
I'm literally doing this right now 😆
I fell asleep to Bayou Boogie once when I was sick
Just don't accidentally be bitten by hamsters
I makes me want to dance.
This game has aged so well for a SNES game
It literally goes hard with every unique melody! I still come back looking for DKC2 soundtrack frequently
I always loved the fact that the boiling lava is part of the music.
This soundtrack is just so amazing it blows my mind I could listen to it for hours.
There is absolutely no reason for this to go so hard
why not 🤷♂️
It was a different time. When passion and talent was put into every aspect of games. They became legend and we remember them because they decided to go all out.

David Wise zoned out on this one
That beautiful chord right before the loop, it gets me every time
Me and that fuzzy sneaker-wearing spider would jam to this all the time!
His name is Squitters.
Rambi, squitter, rattly and squaks
Edit: forgot about engaurde
i like the beat to this with a nice melody
👍👍
The heart of the 90s
Hot Head Bop, Forest Interlude, Stickerbrush Symphony, Mining Melancholy, and Bayou Boogie are my favorite songs in DKC2.
I also like Welcome to Crocodile Isle.
Don't forget Krook's March and Crocodile Cacophony!
Bro mine too! These are exactly my favorites Soundtracks
My favorites are Stickerbrush Symphony, Disco Train, Forest Interlude and Krook's March.
Same
2:11 is my favorite part, the melody coming back like that is so good!
1:27 will get me every time !
I love how it just suddenly goes from a boogie to the most emotional thing you’ve ever heard
Lol I think they knew. They made it emotional for nostalgia purposes 😂
Does anyone else feel super chill while listening to this song or is that just me?
Listen to this, Sticketbrush Symphony, and Mining Melancholy while studying. Highly Recommend!
@@NutriNerdy What, no Forest Interlude?
I Never knew they would invent Lava Stage Music that sounds Relaxing instead of Dramatic
Sonic 06 went for both kinds actually.

Facts!!!!

This song is Fire

I lava this song
best soundtrack
Without a doubt.

Oh wow, it totally does, it's a great song as well!
When I played for first time this game and listened this song I loved it so much, and now I can hear this song again
listening to this gives me a 1995 flashback. oy. my childhood, lol
Arguably...no, it is one of the greatest gaming OSTs ever made.
Super Castlevania 4 too, every track literally...

@@scottythegreat1 oh Terranigma. That one. Shame it doesnt get to reach wider audiences.
It really is a 🔥🥵HOT🥵🔥 theme, especially with the lava boiling in the background.
it's a volcano level, that's why you have to put the lava sound

yea pretty much, it shows in bayou boogie too@@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565
Surprisingly relaxing for the lava levels
Me impressiona até hoje como o David wise extraiu essa linha de baixo na época do snes.
i love how the walking animation of the klampons is kinda in sync with this music

Very glad about this track that's a rare breaking of a chord at every point
Dragon Ball and Toonami days.

The lava levels! Classic OST!
This is one of my favorite track in the game
I remember refusing to finish the stage just because I don't wanna stop the song. So goood
it's weird that we know these songs by heart but never knew their names until later in life
DKC2 Soundtrack Was The Best Sound Track In Video Games History For 30 Years Only Finally Losing To Paper Mario The Origami King!
Nostalgia pura trabalho fantástico bravooooo👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nostalgia
I had a friend point out that the new Netflix theme song for Charmed was ripped from this beat. She was right!
Fun fact: this theme song was supposed to of been used for donkey Kong country but was instead used for the lava level instead.
Donkey Kong ❤❤❤
2020 everyone??? This music is so fire 🔥
so glad I can play all the original DKCs on Switch 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
This goes hard
The end of the song “crazy” was extremely similar to the opening and in fact was inspired by said song. I found that out by chance!
0:44- 1:00 this part of the song reminds me of Back to the Industry from Streets of Rage 2 a bit just slowed down
I can taste that Lava by just Hearing this Music
What's also great about this tune is, you can easily do "The Robot" to it.
David Wise is a wise man.
0:00 I'm getting Dingodile from Crash 3 here
The bubbles are just making it harder. So are the hot air balloons.
Idk why but at 0:18 mark it reminds me of Buck Tick's Dress
it's supposed to be hop but this works
The level is hop, the song is bop
This song reminds me of the magic schoolbus for some reason
I want this to be the music for the Fire Temple in Tears of the Kingdom.
When Nintendo finds out u have an illegal copy of the game :
Song title wise: yes
Actual song wise, the screams from Disco Train would be more accurate.
this reminds me of Spyro so much
k dios
I like Spyro and it be cool to see a theme music like this in the new Spyro 4.
Uma das melhores músicas do jogo , essa fase e aquela da mina de cristal
I mean the title didn't
Lie
Sounds mildly based on the song "Imitation" by Luna Sea.
Bum, Bum, Bwaaamp!
Catchin' sum rodens in da volcan'
one of the parts sound like Upper Brinstar
floor is lava
Nether: mom?Is the you?
I just heard the song Lullaby by The Cure for the first time... David Wise took a bit of inspiration from that for this. Its similar in a lot of ways.
Kaido theme
Me: *eats Taco Bell*
My anus:
Best track out of all three games if not than aquatic ambience or fear factory. Enough said
