This is one of those tracks that slips by you when you're playing because it just fits so well, but going back and listening to it really makes you appreciate how beautiful it is.
It's slips by because it's nowhere in the game lmao. It's meant to be played in the submerged castle but that creepy loop is hardcoded to play instead for some reason
So as a security guard it’s occasionally my job to guard a gate in the middle of nowhere by my self and when I do I like to listen to this song for some reason.
@@tommyjarvis2850 Oh no I’m a graveyard guard and yes it does get pretty spooky. More times than I can count I swear I saw something out of the corner of my eye lol!
I have a weekly radio show that specialises in music from soundtracks and scores. My big five composers are Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Nobuo Uematsu, Ennio Morricone and Hajime Wakai. The man is just a gift - Wind Waker, Pikmin, Star Fox 64, and not long after this comment I hope, Tears of the Kingdom.
@@neypaz8054 hajime wakai did so good on the music soundtrack for this game. Although he should've put Mystic March on more of the water floors. Like Level 9 on Cavern Of Chaos, 10 on Dream Den (same floor design), Level 2 or 4 in Shower Room etc.
@@neypaz8054 yeah true. Even though a lot of people think they're so good. I'd say they choose what music fits/matches best with the sublevel. Sorry about the reply. I have notifications off cause I'll end up with too many.
Oh? People are extending the Pikmin 2 OST? About time, they're very nice ambient tracks. Although it might also be because of the various stages of music...
Every time I listen to this song I remember all those happy moments I had playing Pikmin Expedition 2, now they will only remain as memories, maybe this game will return in a long time or never again...
This always reminded me of Subterranean by David Bowie. The eerie sounds driven forward by that deep bass synth, I feel like it definitely had to have been inspired by Bowie
This song is fantastic, but the sublevel in hole of heroes that it plays in is infuriating. You start out on a stump surrounded by water, water dumples, wollywogs, and fiery blowhogs. Sometimes the enemies attack you right where you spawn. It gets worse in dream den when they repeat this room but with a wandering gatling groink added in.
@@possessed_squash Didn't I see you in Stephen & Mal's comment section of the let's play of Pikmin 2 on the sublevel 8 with the spiders and the pumpkin treasure?
If this song was the thing intended to be on the submerged castle I guess Nintendo liked the unintentional song because they kept it for engulfed castle in pikmin 4 and I think it fits the creepy nature of the cave
It is a bit of an annoying layout but if you're good at the game, it's actually not that hard of a floor. I just hate the spawnpoint if there's Crawmads or Wollywogs on the wall area.
Ok... I have to vent. . a couple of days ago, I was just here and I actually LOVED this track! but now suddenly... why does this somehow sound like smoking garbage?! it isn't my earphones... I've just tried putting other game soundtracks on and they seem to sound just fine. It seems to have lost its luster somehow... I've NEVER had something like this happen to me before. . . sure, maybe after listening to something for a LONG time its maybe gotten a bit repetitive to the point where I have to put it down after a while.. but its NEVER soured, outright quite like this. . . . ....the hell just happened?. . . . Edit: This whole video is full of 2+plus year old comments(there does appear to be a few that are at least a few months ago. as of posting this, its currently 2023)... so am not exactly so sure that I'll be getting some answer back any time soon... but if anyone can also confirm if they ended up feeling the same way... I'd like to know. . so I can make sure am not losing my mind.
I still love this song. Though I have experienced times where a song I used to love just doesn’t hit the same anymore. I don’t think this will be one of those times.
@@purplepikmin3533 it seems to have maybe improved just a little bit today... but its like a hit or miss. .....I wonder if it just means am getting old or something......
This has happened to me before. Maybe you fell asleep while listening to the track? There's this phenomenon where if you listen to a song in your sleep your brain processes it differently then if you were awake. Apparently it has to do with brain activity during the REM cycle of sleep. This can probably happen when you're listening to the song on repeat while awake as well, but to a lesser degree. I would just stop listening to this track for awhile and come back to it and it should sound the way you remember it again, eventually.
@@wizawhat Nah... the only thing I normally fall asleep listening to has been auditory ambient raining sounds(here on youtube)I've put this sound on to help me relax and go to sleep sometimes.

This song really is a genius work of art.

@@BARRELH8R1 This track actually plays on sublevel 6 of Hole of heroes
The aesthetic of pikmin 2 is something that can never be replicated.
My favorite game of all time for that reason
I especially love the clay pikmin on the box art, makes me wish there's a main pikmin game or spin-off with that style
fun fact: this song was meant to play in all sublevels of submerged castle, but the creepy song is hardcoded to play instead
Submerged castle is unnerving
I wish there was a hack to fix that of some kind. I would love going through Submerged Castle with this playing.
this is a better fit tbh
@@zac3194 but theres a almost always a spot where you can trap the water wraith on the sub level
I guess Nintendo just went with it considering pikmin 4 uses the song
For some reason this soundtrack piece of Pikmin 2 gives me vibes of driving in a car on a dark and calm road at night and I just love that
And its raining
So as a security guard it’s occasionally my job to guard a gate in the middle of nowhere by my self and when I do I like to listen to this song for some reason.
doesn't it get spooky or is it in the day time?
@@tommyjarvis2850 Oh no I’m a graveyard guard and yes it does get pretty spooky. More times than I can count I swear I saw something out of the corner of my eye lol!
@@insertcoolname.4708 always bring at least a couple of marigolds with you, it'll show the spirits you mean no harm
@@insertcoolname.4708 Dang you have to guard a place that is haunted. Sounds scary. 💀
Lol I feel that; I used to be a guard too and had many a solo shift well into the wee hours.
I've never heard of this track before until today.
Absolute banger.

This song reminds me of looking into a mirror and reflecting on life.
i will defo do this while on acid someday...
It's sad this only plays in one floor in the game. Such nice theme
I agree. This music is so soothing

@@zac3194 There are many games with tracks that could be played more often, but aren't. Sometimes I think developers do this on purpose. -_-

Wow, listening to this song gives me a sense of nostalgia, and I love it the same as I love the game pikmin.
i feel like a purple pikmin right now
Same
@@purplepikmin3533 Purples and whites I love.
Purples destroy enemies and White's just get stuff done!
@@zac3194 Hey I get stuff done too! ;-;
@@purplepikmin3533 lol 😄 the things you get done is: easily killing enemies.
@@zac3194 AND picking up heavy objects!
This feel so like home... :’)
Reminds me of a long time ago.
The best theme in pikmin
And the sad thing is it only plays in one place in the whole game.
Hole Of Heroes Sublevel 6.
@@zac3194I remember it in the hole of hero’s, but that’s the only time? Wow
This always reminded me of Subterranean by David Bowie. The eerie sounds driven forward by that deep bass synth, I feel like it definitely had to have been inspired by Bowie
Also a really good song to test bass boosted headphones on :D
This song is fantastic, but the sublevel in hole of heroes that it plays in is infuriating.
You start out on a stump surrounded by water, water dumples, wollywogs, and fiery blowhogs. Sometimes the enemies attack you right where you spawn. It gets worse in dream den when they repeat this room but with a wandering gatling groink added in.
I can hear… PERFECTION
To whoever gets the reference, for me they sound very similar.
Dang your pfp is my school pfp.
@@purplepikmin3533 hello purple pikmin
@@possessed_squash Hello!
@@possessed_squash Didn't I see you in Stephen & Mal's comment section of the let's play of Pikmin 2 on the sublevel 8 with the spiders and the pumpkin treasure?
What's if referencing?
If you listen very closely, at the beginning there's a sort of electronic rift you can hear.
You should extend more cave music from pikmin 2.
Like graphite gulch I LOVE that song.
Same!
If this song was the thing intended to be on the submerged castle I guess Nintendo liked the unintentional song because they kept it for engulfed castle in pikmin 4 and I think it fits the creepy nature of the cave
you'll never know why
PIKMIN
The Radiohead vibes in this track are incredibly strong
3:58 at 2x speed hits different
Junglist Massive
A perfect fucking loop, awesome!
This is a bop
This is fire🔥🔥🔥
this takes me back
Now imagine this on a Minecraft disk
This is such a beautiful track albeit randomized. I wish it played more in the actual game.
3:10 That sounds like something from BotW.
@@raptorroocool Really? Wow, that's so cool!
Pikmin 2 came much years before Botw but oh well
Since when did this song go so hard
うぉぉぉぉぉぉぉぉSwitch移植おめでとう！！🎉はやく百戦錬磨の穴いきたい
This song kinda got stuck in my head after playing the colossal cave rom
I wonder how this would sound compressed for the DS.
3:10 is it me or do I hear the discord notification sound repeating in this part?
Pikmin Predicted discord
That's the sound in the song that happens when you're close to an enemy
it's you lol
@@humanleader184 Nah I hear it too.
(Came back a year later to correct my grammar. 💀)
scary...
someone was definitely listen to Type O Negative when they made this, a couple of other Genre's as well
I love this theme, too bad it almost never plays 😡
This song is very calm, the caveunit used in, not so much...
It is a bit of an annoying layout but if you're good at the game, it's actually not that hard of a floor. I just hate the spawnpoint if there's Crawmads or Wollywogs on the wall area.
it’s so cool to see fans of this game still here after so long
Reminds me of Ecco
what's that
@@mau99 It is a Sega game. Pretty neat but hard as heck to beat
Completely agree.
Epic Song
sure hope they add a remake of this to a cave in pikmin 4.
Blud, I have good news.
@@redappl_incorporationthis theme is in pikmin 4?
@@mrjack3855 No but, This is the beta music for Submerged Castle so yea.
@@redappl_incorporation Bruh.
3:59
When does this song play? I feel like this is my first time hearing it.
I think it only plays on Hole of Heroes, on Floor 6
@@YoshoRaythats the one
I miss *ASNAT*
Cool
Okay Man
Why is there dungeon synth in a Pikmin game
why does it sound a tad bit like bejewled 3?
Not gonna lie the vid at 1.75 speed is pretty cool soundin... or is that just me...
just you lmao
definitely just you, sounds like meh trap music when played at 1.75x speed
It's just you, it sounds like a soundcloud trap song
Not just you. I don't know what these people talkin about. This beat fire! 🔥
