7:59 "NOW SAVING YOUR DATA.... REFRAIN FROM TURNING THE POWER OFF OR RESETTING!!" "Don't despair, Mike! Under the Southern Cross, anything is possible"
Favorite game by far. Went to Babbages one day to buy a NES game that they didnt have. (cant remember which one) Ended up just buying this one having never heard of it or played it. Took over my world for a few years. Thanks for posting!
2:36. Oh man.... this entire soundtrack is gold but for some reason the town theme REALLY takes me back to 1990. What I wouldn’t give to revisit those days....
A few years ago, I was playing with the idea of approaching Nintendo to license this character for an unofficial sequel. I didn't go through with the idea X-D
It left a HUGE impression with me as a kid. I only got to the dolphin part back then - so I returned to Star Tropics 30 years later to beat it. And boy did I love the game!
Still got original NES and this game as an original cartridge hidden in my closet. Played this game alot back when I was a kid; I remember getting in to the spaceship but can't remember if I ever beat the game or not, it's been so many years.
WOW! Dude....all of your downloads are amazing. Totally love each and every one of them. This is my childhood I swear :-) Spending the day listening to each and every one of them!
It's amazing how many different great vibes I get from StarTropics. The different overworld sections just remind me of a general beach/ocean theme, while the dungeons sorta reminds me of being at Sea World or some kind of big indoor aquarium exhibit/museum, then there's the Southern Cross theme which of course gives me more tiki / witch doctor vibes But then there's the caves and the castle and graveyard portions, and then the spaceship at the end. Quite a wide variety of vibes
Played this on my NES, it was a pretty brutal game, specially difficult at the latest levels, where being touched by foes meant to lose about 1/4 of your health bar and the most powerful weapons available.
This stereo cover is absolutely incredible, HOWEVER... I couldn't help but feel soured when the Slideshow track fades out before the actual closer part of the song. :< Otherwise, I've been blasting this in my car all summer. Thanks for an amazing job!
First game I ever bought for my OWN hard-earned cash as a kid. I couldn't have been more than 11 years old at the time. Took me almost a year to beat the damn thing. In spite of it's somewhat stiff and clunky movement controls, it was a great game. I absolutely loved it. Dungeon music was great!
22:14 that shakey bass... scared the crap out of me... I don't know how many times I was listening to this over and over and completely missed it but this time i heard it and it sounded like the sound something makes when you are getting hurt or poisoned or something.
This is a very good game. It's long and hard though, and at times it's actually quite scary. The music adds much to the atmosphere. The tile-based movement in places is very unique, and a quite frustrating at times. I never managed to beat the game. I remember being lost at sea in the submarine, without a clue where to go. There was a dolphin at one point, but I don't remember much more. I guess I'll have to retry some day!
I have a theory: Nintendo wanted to made a game very America-like (there's a video about this) they putted a lot of references of America like historical dates (the id's of sub-c) They decided to name the first town coral-cola has a reference to Coca-Cola but then decided to add the last word -Cola" to technically any island (Sorry for my bad english)
Ahh, games from the era where everything wasn't handed to you on a silver platter like in most of today's games. Not all the games from that era were good, but the ones that were are worth remebering.
Overworld, Town, Dungeon and New Chapter are so good. But the top of awesomeness in this game are Hidden Area and Graveyard.😍 I can listen to them for hours. Hidden Area feels like if you are entering a fairy magical place. And I enjoyed so much the tension of that music at the graveyard level (my absolutely favorite level from this game)👏
Yeah, it was very much hit and miss. Thankfully I was lucky to score two awesome gems simply by going by cover art: Startropics and The Guardian Legend.
Bleh, my comment got deleted for some reason... Repeat: This was one of the greatest NES games I ever owned/played. I must have replayed this dozens of times, it never gets old. And to this day, I'm still pissed the main character of this game never made it to the Smash roster.
This was one of my Top 5 tracks, tied at #1 with so many others. ;o Overall a simple game in a sense, but a classic and one of those games where being positive and striving forth are the keys as well as never giving up. :33
Both Overworld and Mica are corrupted tracks. This is in the original ROM and was never fixed in any of the re-releases. Listen to @0:45 you can hear one of the instruments craps out and comes back in at @1:15, off time, which is just horrible and I can't believe that made it through QA. The Mica track is missing it's bass line. Check this video for details on what is going on, and the fix ruclips.net/video/EmUvGH2HMuc/видео.html Any chance of getting a re-upload with the fixed tracks?
I've had this theme song stuck in my head for two days. TY for having its entirety here, and saving my sanity! Do they have the game available to download by shopping on my Wii?
I guess I shall at this point, this will have to be put in the download link version once the corrections are made, I would need to have the NSF be made into a NSFe with the tracks organized with time stamps and tracks named and the order they should go in. I will be getting a buddy to help me with that.
This really was such a good game. I rented it the first time, but thankfully I had a Nintendo Power subscription and they included a big coverage of it. The sequel was okay, and certainly had some interesting differences, but for whatever reason emulates poorly. I admit I never played the sequel when the system was still going cause I just never got around to it, and I kinda wish I had it like I do the original. Surprised this doesn't have more Likes, though, it's a good OST and plenty of good memories tied to this music.
FurtiveTactician I listened to all titles from bases loaded and i don't see any resemblence except maybe the first 2-3 seconds of bases loaded 3, then it's completely different!
Just a little bit of constructive feedback, you use too much reverb. For example, in Star Tropics the tone/pitch of the square channels sound overly colored as a result. For other NSFs with more complicated compositions I have noticed that melodies/rhythms/bass-lines in the rear of the mix are washed out.
@@Jorge_super así es, que tiempos aquellos cuando solo te preocupabas por hacer la tarea, jugar, comer y dormir. Ese tiempo se acabó, solo recuerdos de mi infancia quedan.
Like Mega Man 9(which was absolutely amazing btw) Startropics doesn't need a large dev team,a big budget nor will it take as long to create. I wish capcom and Konami would starting doing proper 2D follow ups to ninja gaiden, ghosts n goblins and Castlevenia.But no,instead make way for these glorified flashy hand holding uninspired interactive movies that require practically zero skill. Startropics challenged you greatly! another thing i miss about the NES-days of gaming!take me back to the 80s!

It WAS pretty awesome being a kid in the 80's and 90's.
Especially the 80s.
Agreed. The early 90's in particular were especially awesome, IMO.
Or having a kid in the 80's or 90's. My TI-99/a wasn't enough for my son. He grew up to develop Hyperspin.
As a late mid to late 80's child, I would have to agree.

"NOW SAVING YOUR DATA.... REFRAIN FROM TURNING THE POWER OFF OR RESETTING!!"
"Don't despair, Mike! Under the Southern Cross, anything is possible"
I’m not joking, years ago I was just listening to random music and the dungeon music came on, and I heard my mom in the other room say “oh my god.” 😂
LMAO that's hilarious. Star Tropics got a lot of mileage in your house didn't it?
Favorite game by far. Went to Babbages one day to buy a NES game that they didnt have. (cant remember which one) Ended up just buying this one having never heard of it or played it. Took over my world for a few years. Thanks for posting!
Memories! Hands-down one of the best NES games ever!
I'd say a classic that needs to be experienced by all who have a NES
***** Agreed, this is a rediscovery for me, i remember playing this, i'm gettting this cart asap for my legacy collection
This game made me want to learn how to use a yo-yo (yes, I am old enough to play it when it first came out!)
I own both titles of this series factory sealed and in box true classics here
@@Nikos8BitStereo which makes me glad they put this on the NES app on the Switch.
I will not acknowledge Smash Bros until Mike Jones is a playable character.
I'm with you lol
Mike Jones will literally be Ness without PSI
2:36. Oh man.... this entire soundtrack is gold but for some reason the town theme REALLY takes me back to 1990. What I wouldn’t give to revisit those days....
Thanks for the upload of this. I'm having a shitty time, and this reminds me of vastly superior days.
Brother I feel you. Keep your head up and do things that make you feel happy. We’ll get there again.
@@ezehogan thank you for posting this comment
Enjoys the highs, wait out the lows
I swear, the Dungeon theme gives me goosebumps on top of heart pangs.
You and me both. Such memories.
nintendo should totally-cola bring this franchise back!
“Under the southern cross anything is possible!”
Mike Jones for Smash, anyone?

How much did the game cost back when you were a kid?
@@mosiarmstrong 399 SEK, which is about $50 in today's exchange rate.
@@TheOnlyToblin cool. That seems like a fair bit of money to come by for an 11 year old 😁
@@mosiarmstrong I saved my lawn-mowing money forever, and also my birthday was near around. I was so proud to buy something on my own XD

There's so many games on nes that I couldn't beat. They're so freaking hard!
Git gud
Brings back memories. Thank you 🤗

OH MAN,so many
memories :')
I love you for these.
I don't know why my parents even picked this game up for me in the 90s ..but it was my fav game on Nintendo
well they got it for free didn't they
Playing it in the 80s wasn't too shabby.
I need to give this one a play!!!
what a piece of art T_T
I struggled with getting the dang crystal ball for the fortune teller! This game was hardcore back then.
F'YEAH!

Played both StarTropics I & II: Zoda's Revenge. The concept is fun as hell.
Legendary games. I'm just replaying them using a ROM and a NES emulator.
Man, this game's music rocked! Possibly the best first-party NES music. But what was with all the town names ending with "cola"?
I have a theory:
Nintendo wanted to made a game very America-like (there's a video about this) they putted a lot of references of America like historical dates (the id's of sub-c)
They decided to name the first town coral-cola has a reference to Coca-Cola but then decided to add the last word -Cola" to technically any island

Ahh, games from the era where everything wasn't handed to you on a silver platter like in most of today's games.
Not all the games from that era were good, but the ones that were are worth remebering.
Just seeing the box art makes me want to cry. There is no god, but there are certainly feelings of something that goes beyond that which we see.
Overworld, Town, Dungeon and New Chapter are so good.
But the top of awesomeness in this game are Hidden Area and Graveyard.😍
I can listen to them for hours.
Hidden Area feels like if you are entering a fairy magical place.
And I enjoyed so much the tension of that music at the graveyard level (my absolutely favorite level from this game)👏
Dare is say, this was even better than the original Legend of Zelda.
10:22, sounds like Sylvia by Focus! :)
Where do you come from? Americola?
Loved the soundtrack to this game. Wish they made an remake or hi def version of this game
The town and dungeon themes are my favorite!!!
Great soudtrack, I love this game :)
The diminished scale at work.
Yeah, it was very much hit and miss. Thankfully I was lucky to score two awesome gems simply by going by cover art: Startropics and The Guardian Legend.
Guardian Legend!!!
Bleh, my comment got deleted for some reason... Repeat:

Overall a simple game in a sense, but a classic and one of those games where being positive and striving forth are the keys as well as never giving up. :33
Hidden Zone should play every time I go to the bathroom during a 9 hour pizza making shift.
This game was only ever released in North America and Europe for the NES. It was never released in Japan for the Famicom.
i know its way later but star tropics Mica has a glitch in the game that makes it so you can't hear the baseline but its in the game completed.
Fuck YEAH Startropics! Still trying to find another copy of this game.
WHO THE HELL COULD DISLIKE THIS?!?!?! i GOT NOTHING BUT
Zoomers?
YEAH!! YOU DID IT!
*watches POINTS go up and up*
George Costanza The points don't matter
L-Y3T Maybe, but I like to pretend they do.
Well ain't this just jolly?
the best game ever period
Jumping in this game was bullshit. But nevertheless, I still remember playing it for hours. Lots of nostalgia.
Best songs: Dungeon and Sub-C
Oh, the nostalgia...
Five people still have bananas in their ears.

31...how cute.

Only game to make you ruin your instruction booklet to find a necessary code!
awesome! :')
Best ost ever
Sometimes I throw on startropics OST and dance around my house
17:44 also known as the "God save the Queen/King"
Gonna cover a psychedelic soca version of the town
gonna learn this on my harmonica
great reference
This would be a sick remake if they brought it back on current consoles.
3:44 the reason you are here
The alien ship difficulty spike LOL
glad to see it's not just me still listening to this amazing soundtrack
And kind of meh tone shift =/
I've had this theme song stuck in my head for two days. TY for having its entirety here, and saving my sanity! Do they have the game available to download by shopping on my Wii?
would you be able to redo The Over world theme and Mica's theme with the newly discovered corrections done to them?
I guess I shall at this point, this will have to be put in the download link version once the corrections are made, I would need to have the NSF be made into a NSFe with the tracks organized with time stamps and tracks named and the order they should go in. I will be getting a buddy to help me with that.

oh man that would be so great if you could
Hylian Fox Agreed!

I actually listened to the Mica theme close enough to hear the brief messed up bass note that was pointed out in that video.
Game was hard to beat. I beat it twice in my life.

These are awesome! I don't usually make youtube requests but could you do mc kids?
Could you do Startropics 2 as well? :P
they shoulda included a package of rolling papers inside every game box
Hey, WiiGuys! Ever thought about reuploading this with the fixes from here?
ruclips.net/video/EmUvGH2HMuc/видео.html
@7:10
I started sweating just hearing that.
epic fucking game! far more epic than a game like metroid IMO.
There should have been a StarTropics remix in Smash
Own this game for 22 years never beat it. Good Music though.
I just want to know the drugs that whoever came up with this game took.
I feel like it's probably the opposite, that whoever came up with this game was really knowledgeable and worldly.
ECWtropics!
?
But you cut off the ending of the credits music...
I think the title sounds like Bases loaded title.... or am I not hearing it right.
Bases Loaded 3 or 4... not 1.
FurtiveTactician I listened to all titles from bases loaded and i don't see any resemblence except maybe the first 2-3 seconds of bases loaded 3, then it's completely different!
I think you misspelled the girl's name. It's Bananette.
fuckin' Hidden Area. Sometimes, Hidden Area, just up and takes a life away. do not trust those sweet entrancing tones

For other NSFs with more complicated compositions I have noticed that melodies/rhythms/bass-lines in the rear of the mix are washed out.
It's totally irrational, but I still feel like the plot of Startropics was a dry run for the US adaptation of Earthbound. Criticisms accepted.
Mike Jones should have been in super smash bros. Can you imaging another yoyo wielding kid besides Ness.
8:07 maaaan
