I think it's truly incredible how every single stage in this game is unique. unique assets, music, level design, gameplay mechanics ... it sets the bar impossibly high for other 2d platformers.
I agree with LocoRoco man
@@baylayed3920 haha thank u I'm honored
Trine does a great job of this too
The two new Donkey Kongs as well as Rayman Legends were miles above out "Jump'n'Run No1 Mario" with these New Super Mario Bros. games
In other words the standard for the Donkey Kong Country series
David Wise deserves an Award for the soundtrack of this game.
*****
Really?
TweroProducoes
Yamamoto supervised, Wise composed.
*****
Oh, now I get the credtis in the comentary!
Well, Yamamoto did an awesome job supervising this new version! :D
***** Kenji Yamamoto is credited as "Supervisor" because he was the supervisor for his Nintendo team of composers at Nintendo SPD. I don't think he was "supervising" David Wise. From what I understand from David Wise's interview, the two worked together, but Yamamoto had his own composition team working with him as well. But… it does seem like David Wise really did most of the work.
I don't think Yamamoto was "telling Wise what to do." That wouldn't make much sense. Yamamoto can't really "boss" David Wise around, considering Wise wrote most of the the original music Yamamoto and his team kept reusing for DKC Returns. If there's anybody who's "bossing" Wise around, it's either the Audio Supervisor (maybe) Scott Peterson, or the Director/Producer of the game.
More than one.
How this masterpiece of a video game was not nominated for Best Soundtrack in the 2014 Game Awards is beyond me.. :/
it's destiny but it's not surprising the game hyped is always put in way
This video game industry needs to crash once more.
Sawtje2 Ubisoft will do it
This game deserved a million awards
I agree. Best video game ever in all categories.
It's like Dave was thinking "Lemme SHOW y'all why you should've hit me up for the FIRST soundtrack."
***** He stated he had some personal issues to sort out. He had JUST left Rare when they asked him to do Returns. He had the ability to, but he decided not to. But they called him up again to do another Donkey Kong game, so he decided to do this one.
Surely he'd never say no to doing a major game soundtrack like this. Last time he wrote a full soundtrack for a major console title was… Star Fox Adventures, back when Rare was still with Nintendo.
***** which is why im glad he joined retro...someone to put his talents back to use
Since the guy who did the DKCR soundtrack was also working with Dave on this one, I doubt it.
seeyoshirun From what I heard, Kenji Yamamoto was more of a music supervisor. I think he just oversaw David Wise as he composed the score.
Returns had an amazing soundtrack regardless.
This stage always leaves me feeling so sad. The trees seemed so alive in the first stage, and now they're burnt to a crisp.
gabs3147 yes
For me it's especially the section when you jump on the branches and the entire trees fall down into the flames. They aren't just burning, they're being destroyed along with the entire Savannah.
Incendio forestal
A youtuber described the dancey flute part as "The past beauty of the savahna crying in pain" if that is true, that is really damn brilliant and shows that David Wise really knows level themes and how to incorperate his music into them.
GamerNinjaX i got goosebumps with that.
GamerNinjaX Its David fuckin Wise. What else did you expect from a genius of his caliber?
yup! credit to him
+GamerNinjaX Cjszero01?
+caden flanagan yup
Now, any other person would associate this level with really frantic and demonic music.
But what Mr. Wise did here was clever. Instead of focusing on the fire itself, the music catches the feeling of grief and sadness, seeing what was once such a lively atmosphere now burnt to shambles.
"And here's MY little secret: I killed Mufasa."
NOOOOOO!!!!! Murderer!
that pfp fits so well with this comment agu
Run away, and never come back
I can't take this comment seriously while staring at the hotel mario profile pic
As u wish ur maJESTY!
I had heard that David Wise was going for a more lighthearted soundtrack for this game. Don't get me wrong, the tracks before this one are amazing, but I still was kinda hoping for something with a darker, DKC2 feel, and thought that it just wasn't going to happen.
Then I heard this.
how can you go lighthearted...with a freakin gigantic fire outbreak...
That's the great thing about this soundtrack. Worlds 1 and 2 have largely upbeat and catchy music, things get a little mixed between atmospheric and upbeat in Worlds 3 and 4, and then World 6 just hits you over the head with an entire plethora of amazing emotional pieces that sound almost lonely, but have a trace of hope strewn throughout them. It's probably one of the most terrifically balanced soundtracks I've ever heard.
Most people judged this soundtrack when they saw the Dixie Kong trailer and heard the music from that one trailer. Problem is… that trailer had music FROM THE FIRST LEVEL OF THE GAME. As it happens, that first level also happens to take place on a nice colorful, tropical beach. So… it's going to have nice colorful, tropical music!
I don't know... I got a major DKC2 vibe from some songs before this one, namely Alpine Incline (Ground). That song sounds like it came straight out of DKC2.
Totally agree with you though that this song is dark, moody, and dramatic. The whole soundtrack is a masterpiece, and I noticed the tracks after this one continue that darker, atmospheric tone.
Tyler H Big Top Bop and the Snowmad's Theme sound like they would have come from DKC2 in 16 bit.
How ironic a game named Tropical FREEZE has one of the hottest songs I've ever heard.
For a game called tropical freeze it focuses more on the tropical side than the freeze side.
To be fair, it gives a great motive to kick the villain's ass. He's trying to FREEZE the beautiful land that DK and friends call home. Say no more, let's flipping get him.
@@issacflores2010 it really focus on the tropical theme in the first 4 worlds,but the game starts to become freezing after some levels of the fifth world
This soundtrack SLAPS!
Nice
"Only you can stop forest fires."
-Smokey the Bear
He should've told that to the Snowmads... =/
This song made me feel sadness for the actual environment itself, where all the previous levels have a festive and welcoming vibe, but this one shows a catastrophe and the music let's you know that it's not fun and games anymore. I love tropical freeze in that it requires no dialog to tell you the story, but in what you're up against with every level.
yeah especially level Right before Scroth'n'Torch.
The one where we had to get through the Tornado - so Festive)
Definitely, my favorite 2D Platformer of all time
Its interesting how some of the worlds in this game tell a subtle, coherent story. Especially bright savannah and juicy jungle. Bright savannah starts you out in a festive, cheerful level. Throughout the world you see that once happy and thriving savannah ravaged by a tornado and eventually demolished in a forest fire.
@@orange_turtle3412 that’s why I love this game so much
Storytelling is not easy to begin with. Nowadays we can see good screenwriters deliver mediocre or hard-to-understand stories with tons of lines. But tell a story without a single line is something very, VERY few people can do. And the game designers of Tropical Freeze were able to do it wonderfully, alongside David Wise and the sound designers. This, mates, is a true masterpiece.
I think Scorch 'N' Torch exists because of Frantic Fields. Think about it. A: In level 3-3 there were lightning volts, and grass was everywhere. B: The lightning struck the wooden platforms, which was carried by dust devils! When A and B happens it could explain 3-4.
Thinking the same
Yup, I thought that too xd
C:There's also flaming hedgehogs being dragged by the tornado(es), causing the forest fires that you se in Scorch n Torch
I think the same way, just like I always thought Tidal Terror existed because of Stormy Shore.
Similar stuff happen in world 5 as well, where the snomads were picking fruits, making juice, making jelly, and then freezing it to ice cream. It's really cool
I felt so sorry for the savannah when I entered the stage. All the fire... It reminded me of the final scene in Lion King.
Pretty intense.
You know, that's a huge fucking spoiler.
KBC7050
Wow, I'm so so sorry I spoiled the ending of an 23 year old movie.. :')
Sawtje2 I was talking about the game you doofus.
KBC7050
Okay, but still - How is that a spoiler? From the title alone you can already assume there's going to be ALOT of fire in the stage.
Sawtje2 "Spoiler
When someone reveals a previously unknown aspect of something which you likely would have rather learned on your own. "
David Wise is some sort of genius.
+Bad A Cappella Orchestra "some sort"? He IS a genius.
+Magnamagma You could say he was very Wise
(Obvious joke is obvious)
Of course he is
Picture this level being translated into a stage for the next Smash. Seriously, just think about it for a second.
An arena surrounded by plains, dry and thick with smoke and flames. A lone, large tree looming in the centre, its burnt branches and foliage serving as temporary refuge until the weight of the players causes them to crumble into ash. Fire breaking out on the ground, with scant sacks of water your only hope of extinguishing them.
And, in the background, this beautiful and barren piece of music.
Someone give this man a fucking job at Nintendo.
There's so many better options for stages. Mainly the octopus level.
Alfonso ST
I honestly think nearly any stage from this game could make a good backdrop, but I stand by this one. Or maybe Alpine Incline, because you could do so much with the balloons. Fruit Factory (or the Jungle world in general) could provide a ton of ideas because of all the blades, trampolines, pulleys and mechanical hands. You could use Wing Ding as a motif and have a larger stage with a couple of areas connected by zip lines. Homecoming Hijinks would be fantastic, too - ice stages instantly present some neat challenges - and you could do some really cool things with having a snowstorm descend on the level and turning it into a silhouette level a la Cliffside Slide.
If only someone from Nintendo were reading this.
seeyoshirun "and you could do some really cool things with having a snowstorm descend on the level and turning it into a silhouette level a la Cliffside Slide" you made that pun on purpose.
I'll have to take away his man card if he didn't.
When I got to this level, it just blew me away.
I wish I had the game... well I need a wii u first.. I don't have one :(
***** yes
When I got to the level "Frantic Fields", I was blown away.
Rinku - The Hero of Time
Ooooh I was too... in both meanings of the word. :P

One of the best songs I have heard on a videogame in many years.
This has GOT to be one of the coolest songs in a video game, ever.
This track is worthy of being in a disney or pixar movie. It's THAT good!
@@mle1872 but are those movies worthy of this music? That’s the real question :p
@@callinater6133 of cours not those companies are garbage now a days
Wouldn't say it's the *_coolest,_*
I would say it's *_fire!_*
Jokes aside, I completely agree!
@@callinater6133 Hell NO! Pixar sucks, with the exception of Toy Story & Toy Story 2 of course.
3-1: Lets have a celebration! Such joy! Such glee! It's time to dance and rejoice in the wonder of...
3-4: Now let's BURN IT ALL DOWN!
That's definitely what I loved about this world. No shortage of surprises.
forgot about 3-3's dust devils
3-2: The party’s calmed down, let’s get some rest and chill a bit.
3-3: *The harshness of nature is no longer willing to allow such peace in these peaceful fields, cyclones have kicked up and lightning is striking the grass letting it burn.*
How can one man knock it out of the park so many, many times? This soundtrack is simply mindblowing, period.
This is honestly my favorite track in the entire series.
+Karby64 Right?!? I mean, I've said that about other tracks, but when I hear this one it just blows me away.
Totally agree
Same
The best music of the game.
Yoi me. 9.5 out of 10
I remember when I first heard this song and saw the level I was playing with my brother, and said aloud "Africa has enough problems without being set on fire!" I love how every level has its own frantic and different feel to it, and yet also forms a narrative.
The game is a masterpiece. If I could I would buy all of my friends a Wii U and a copy of this game. The music alone would be worth it.
David. Fucking. Wise. The man's still got it.
I listen back through this playlist at least once per month while at work.
Oh, you again.
Sup, guys.
Haha it really is like once per month .
Shut up already, stop talking to yourself.
...
Donkey Kong predicted the amazon rainforest
The only level where you can find the screaming pillars from Returns
The soundtrack for this game is like an Oscar winning movie soundtrack but for a video game instead, what is shocking is that David Wise didn't get any attention by Nintendo and others for making such detailed and emotional songs, we fans are alone to appreciate his effort and that's sad tbh
This song really exemplifies the turning point of the game; as you enter the latter half, the music becomes more emotional, and the levels become harder.
Interestingly enough, it seems as though the music of the first half of the game is a bit more underrated than that latter half, which is kinda like how DKC3 compares to DKC1 and DKC2.
Note that the first half's music takes most of its inspiration from DKC3.
heyitsjosh yea
Yup. Swinger Flinger, Bopopolis, Big Top Bop, Mangrove Cove, Wing Ding and Mountain Mania are amazing music tracks and are all in the first half of the game.
@@CaptainCoolzCT- windmill hills. Alpine fucking incline. Sawmill Thrill.
Omg jungle inferno from fe2 and I know it’s not the original I’ve just been looking for this song
I think we may have found a new Stickerbrush Symphony-type music for the DKC franchise. Holy crap, this is awesome.
Lmfao !
+Antichrist2000 Aren't you edgy.
This game has such amazing music, simply epic, simply beautiful. What i LOVE about TF is that every single level has its own music. Can't say that about Returns.
Not every level does. Some disappointingly don't, including the last level before the final boss.
DKCR also had 10 more stages, so while overall less stages had their own music, there were also more stages to put music in, so it's not as bad as one may first think. DKCR also had more niche tracks that played in small sections (i.e. not the most prominent tracks in any given level).
Praise it!! Cept the last island, they re use music a few times, but its GOOD music they re use
Caleb Jaaniste The stages in TF are much longer though. Or at least that's what I've found. There's much more variety and whatnot as well
What I love about Tropical Freeze is that every world almost tells it's own story. Best example is the third world, where everyone is happy at savanna, but then stormy winds start to blow and finally this: no one is happy and the savanna is burning.
Fantastic game indeed!
There's one quote that best describes what I felt about this stage the first time I played it.
"This is horrible..."
- Falco, 1997
THIS IS SO GOOD.
The best music of Tropical Freeze for me!
I thought that at first, but the more music I'm hearing from this game the harder it gets for me to decide what my favorite is.
Fuck man, both this game and soundtrack are so good. It's making me feel the same way as DKC2 did
They both have the same composer
Listening to this with a good set of headphones... Absolutely EPIC
At 1:33 it sounds like "Let me live." What I imagine is the Savannah itself crying for help. It gives me chills to think about it but I also love the depth in it.
Can't unhear that now. Makes the song even cooler tho...
Especially how the first level the trees are dancing and now those same dancing trees are being burnt up by the fire…
Jungle inferno has returned... like 5 years later
this is so nostalgic
This song is so beautifully catchy that it should be illegalised. The "chorus" has stuck with me for well over a week since I last heard it, and the general beat perfectly epitomizes your surroundings and the "fire" aspect to the level, far better than most lava levels I've seen. The best part about this song? It's meant to represent a bleak, desolated savanna, ruined beyond natural repair and nigh-on uninhabitable for all but the most masochistic of creatures, and it fulfills that role immaculately. Yet it's still composed in such a way that once you hear it, you simply can't get it out of your head.
... David Wise is a fucking genius. I wasn't TOO hot on the DKC soundtracks before, but this theme managed to convert me in one fell swoop.
Sir you used the exact words to describe the whole song. Fucking Genius David Wise !
David Wise is brilliant! Mountain Mania, Big Top Bop, Bopopolis, Snakey Chantey, Lost World, Crocodile Cacophony, Gang-Plank Galleon, Fear Factory... MAN the music he does is so memorable!!!
La canción es sencillamente acojonante señores, no se puede decir de otra manera. David Wise es un genio y lo ha vuelto a hacer. Un genio.
When I first heard this song, it was a friend of mine playing the level. As he was playing I was watching, and listening...at 0:08 the music caught my attention like oh, this is a really good melody. By 0:41 I was way more into the music than watching my friend play. As the music progressed my eyes grew wider...I made a comment that this was some of the best video game music I'd ever heard (I've been gaming for over 20 years).
My friend must have been too busy trying not to get burned...his reply to me was something along the lines of "is it?"...as if he hadn't even noticed the beautiful sound. Poor guy must have been delirious from all the excess heat.
I agree, this song is amazing as is the whole soundtrack.
Goosebumps. We are not worthy.
That flute is soo dreamy 0:59🎶😍
Here it is, the new Stickerbrush Symphony!
+Hudesko Definitely
WAT
this fits very well to the situation in australia at the moment...
"Not a serious soundtrack," my ass.
Super Mario 3D World has 75% happy music, no one bats an eye.
Tropical Freeze has ~20% happy music, everyone loses their minds (and the OST is clown music).
In that defense, Super Mario 3D World is… you know, a Mario game. Mario games are known for those kinds of soundtracks.
That particular one was praised because it was a HUGE step up from the New Super Mario Bros. 2 and U games… which had incredibly bland soundtracks, and many of the tunes were just reused from prior entries! 3D World re-used a couple tunes, and it remastered a few others, but the majority consisted of new, original tunes created by Nintendo's top composers (even Koji Kondo got involved a bit) with live big band music. With Mario, this kind of music is expected. Mario's all about colorful environments and happy-go-lucky, rhythmic music to go along with all the jumping, which is really the main mechanic.
***** Ah, not knocking on 3D World or anything; I actually really like that game and its soundtrack. I guess when you remove it from Shoehorned-Into-A-Meme context, what I was trying to accomplish with that post were 2 things:
1) Why is it suddenly called "clown music" and not just "happy videogame music"? 3D World generally had clownier music than TF, and it was called happy video game music, but when TF has a little bit of the same thing, it's suddenly universally called clown music. . . . I guess I'm just letting the wording bug me on that one.
2) But more importantly, only a little bit of the music was actually like that, and people are acting like happy music was 90% of the soundtrack. Come on,[ haters,] the "clown music" is almost completely gone from the soundtrack by world 3 (or even a lot of world 2). The game still has plenty of classic David Wise goodness to it.
I agree with both of you, but my problem is that people usually think that "happy music" means "bad music". Also, in my opinion, Donkey Kong always get wonderful soundtracks, while Mario soundtracks are often so-so, probably because of the overload of games. I love both series and kinds of music.
Koops520 Well, which Mario soundtracks are you referring to? If you're talking about games such as Mario Kart (prior to the Wii U game), Mario Party, Mario Strikers, or any spinoff, or the New Super Mario Bros. games… yeah the music is just okay (though, NSMB on DS had decent music). But the *core* Mario franchise had some great music, especially when Koji Kondo was the lead and sole composer of the games up until Super Mario Sunshine (He wrote roughly half the Sunshine music, and most of it is the thematic material most remember).
I mean, I wouldn't call Super Mario 64's soundtrack "so-so," as it has a wonderful water theme, an incredibly catchy, yet atmospheric underground theme remix, the intense and powerful Koopa's Road theme…none of these I would consider "happy."
That brings me to another point, I *HATE* when people generalize music of a brighter mood as simply "happy." That's the worst description in the world when it comes to music. Surely there are other adjectives you could use to describe it. It isn't black and white, it isn't just happy, or sad/angry. There are *MANY* different emotions when it comes to music.
Who else scorched and torched a bowl while listening
My favourite song in the game!
I really get a DKC2 vibe from this music. It's like it's directly taken from that game, but with improved sound quality!
In a way, this is a horror level.
This song Should be in Super Smash Bros. Wii U, too.
This is one of the reasons why I bought a Wii U. Just waiting for this game to get to the stores here where I live. I just can't wait! The level designs are beautiful, the soundtrack makes me feel like I'll be playing "DKC4" for the SNES! Thank you David Wise, I'm glad you worked on DK songs again!
Homecoming Hijinx, Big Top Bop, Busted Bayou, Scorch 'N' Torch, Windmill Hills... GOSH! How are people even able to choose a favorite track? This game has so many amazing ones it is impossible for me to pick one!
+Chris Jackson How come no one mentions the Staff Roll!?
lol what about forest folly seashore war and amiss abyss? and the lockjaw saga remix of course
I've always liked Grassland Groove.
Excellent production from the masterful David Wise. Need to remix this OST sometime.
Coming from you it will be awesome for sure!
I wanna hear all these DKCTF themes in 16-bit and compare them to DKC 1-3.
Not quite 16-bit, but there's a guy who did 8-bit covers off a couple Tropical Freeze songs here! ruclips.net/video/LfjnJuXZfn8/видео.html
This should have been a track for N64 Congo Jungle on Smash Bros. Wii U.
Just like they skipped right over the Great War from Bayonetta 2 in her DLC. Easily one of the BEST themes ever made
no you fucking idiot
you only get the first level theme from this game and the temple theme, which is another goddamn remix of jungle hyjinx
leaving this game with less tracks represented in smash brothers than mario sports superstars
why the fuck would you represent an amazing soundtrack like this, or add more than one track from majoras mask, or more than 2 tracks from the entirety of final fantasy, when you can add the mario tennis ultra smash main theme and jungle hyjinx version 89
One of my favorite themes from this game. Come to think of it; I still need to finish this game lol
finish my game
This is so DKC3 sounding! This is seriously fantastic I am already in love with this game's soundtrack.
Yeah! 1:35-ish reminds me of the River Race. =D
Woah I didn't even think about that, but it does!
This goofy videogame about monkeys trying to save their bananas from an evil walrus happens to be, in my opinion, one of the greatest videogames of its genre ever made. Every single level has a completely distinct theme with its own music, background, assets, and mechanics. It breaks away from the tried and true 2d platformer level design process and expands upon it. A new kind of platformer that they miraculously got pretty much perfectly on the first try. The game is a blast to play, absolutely beautiful in the graphics department, and has the single best soundtrack I have ever heard from any videogame. You really wouldnt expect this music from a cartoony nintendo game to carry such powerful emotion. The facf that it didnt win best score in the 2014 game awards is a crime.
Dude i hope this soundtrack is in the new smash bros
Why can't I fave/like a video more than once... every time I listen to this I want to show my appreciation somehow... Its just so good!
Stickerbrush Symphony, I think you may have a rival.
Really,just one?Because in all the soundtrack of the game,stickerbrush symphony has(at least)thirty confirmed rivals!
SecretScreaming Opinions man...
My gay? Nice grammar dipshit.
Well thank god you have unimaginable skills to detect sound from pixels on a screen, and even further can guess someones mood without fail. Have fun being a worthless troll in life. Hell, when I was playing Halo..I met better trolls than you.
NexYouAre
You're allowed to like more than one thing.
Such an awesome song. Dark, haunting, beautiful. Love donkey kong music.
This theme is AMAZING
The floor is... wait, the entire level is lava.
I always remember the great forest fire in Chile in 2017 when I hear this song, and the flute part makes me imagine a condor flying over the burning forest.
What about the one in Greece.
And please tell me I'm not the only one that hears Phil Collins in this piece...
This is twice this has happened now. =P The swamp theme from DKC2 also had some very Phil Collins-esque beats. I think David Wise might be a fan.
He has great taste :)
Skeith804 Swamp theme sounds like the beginning of In the Air Tonight.
Zénith Studios - Séries Web Yeah especially with those tom drums!
David Wise must like Phil Collins (they're both British XDD )
It's insane how good this song is o_O
This theme is sooo great! After hearing it for months I can finally say: It is one of the best video game songs of all time, in my opinion of course.
David Wise is a genius
David Wise > Hans Zimmer
supermonkeyCL Budget is the only thing that keeps it from being obvious. Get David Wise on the next Batman, that would be awesome.
***** Well... he does have the word "wise" in his name, so that's to be expected.
+supermonkeyCL they're both good, Hans Zimmer has done great music as well
HombreAlabama My comment is for laughs :P
I love how the instrument used for the main melody is taken straight from Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA)!
Sorry Stickerbrush Symphony I never thought I'd say this but... you've been dethroned
I love how bombastic and impactful this sounds, it's a very powerful track.
What I love about this soundtrack is that it's nostalgic in a different way than DKCR was. DKCR directly remixed old DKC songs, which was great. Remixing was done to a lesser extent in DKCTF, too. However, the "brand new" songs in DKCTF still carry a lot of the same sentiments as the old songs. This song is a perfect example to me, because it definitely feels like a more intense version of Hot Top Bop from DKC2, yet it's a totally different song. Liek if u cry everr tim
David Wise & Phil Collins for the new Tarzan movie.
YEEES PLS WHY TEFUK NOT
Wise is a god! all him works are very awesome
My favorite song, it's so dark, I freaking love it! 😍 🔥
The whole soundtrack was much better than the remixes of the original Donkey Kong Country in Returns... despite Lockjaw's Saga Returns and Aquatic Ambiance Returns again... but this theme... MY GOD!!! This is a milestone of video game music composition! Sure we praise games like The Last of Us bringing emotions thanks to the soundtrack (and it was Hollywood-level soundtrack but that's the problem, it's gaming not Hollywood)... but the AMBIANCE!!! It sticks in the head, we remember the level throwing waterberries at fiery enemies and burning bushes...
Except Windmill Hills, Forest Folly, Frozen Frenzy, Homecoming Hijinx and Alpine Incline (Ground), Scorch' N Torch is the best music from the soundtrack. This is David Wise at his best! This is the Fear Factory of DKC1, the Stickerbush Symphony of DKC2, the Cascade Capers of DKC3 (despite it was Eveline Fischer doing the SNES soundtrack but Wise on the GBA)... the very best ambiant music from the game.
most of the remixes, Mechanical Swamp is pretty awesome.
Don't forget Seashore War. Few video game tracks have made me tear up, but Seashore War did the trick in spades!
Love this soundtrack, Hope Nintendo releases it for platinum prize. That would be fantastic!
Really master piece
This track reminds me to the last scenes of the Lion King.
DeJorgiK cool
I love how David Wise writes this beautiful music with heavy emotional vibes for these silly monkey games about retrieving your stolen bananas
more like donkey kong country tropical feels
Seriously this game is amazing. Anyone who says Nintendo lost their touch is full of crap.
This is the best Soundtrack in the complete Game
New 38-year-old one here playing Donkey Kong in 2k19 for the first time and also having a Nintendo Switch for the first time, too. This track really caught me! It’s sooooo intense! I am in love with this game!
I love this song!David Wise is awesome!
Masterpiece!
In my opinion, the best DK's song ever!
Scorch n torch
Great level n great music
Definitely a track that could potentially top stickerbrush symphony in heightening those emotions of solitude in an almost saddening way...hard to describe it but then again props to David Wise for being able to do that consistently.
This one is my absolute favorite. I love it so so much, the melody and atmosphere is epic, and the level it plays in is also amazing
After Donkey Kong celebrated the birth of Simba in Grassland Groove he came to a surprise that after two days the Groove of the Grasslands from the Bright Savannah turned into a burning, ash-filling, dancing-tree-killing battlefield.
After reaching the end of the Grasslands, Donkey Kong looked back at the now burned and slowly dying trees, knowing that even though they had a great time in Grassland Groove, nature-disasters won't stop for that and will kill everything in its path.
And then he finally learned...that only you can stop wild fires!
This level is one of the best this game has to offer in my opinions. It shows how good the theme mixing in the game is (Safari/fire is a pretty cool mix up), the music adds on to the level so much, and the visuals in this level are incredible. I would say this and maybe a few levels from the final world (not post game, but final story world) are the among the greatest examples of how fantastic this game is.
Truly, this game is at least in the top 20 of the Best Game Soundtracks of all time.
Amazonas... Australia... 😔
One of the best level music ever
Epic and Sad...
This is proof that you don't need lyrics to create a powerful song
