Soundtrack 'Black & Blue's': DK

[Rasendori93]

IMO SSBB's Bramble Blast sounds better than the original one I listened to both of them and I liked SSBB's version better because of the composers and the violin DKC's version is just to plain for me.

[BaconStein]

It bothers me that they act as though the Donkey Kong arcade game was a Donkey Kong game - it was really a Mario game. Mario was the protagonist and only playable character. I completely agree, they also focused way too much on modern DK and not enough on DKC. Not really worth going crazy over, but still kind of a shame with all of Brawl's potential... At least we got Diddy, and the new DK stages aren't that bad, even though none of them were DKC-oriented this time.

[kylelabra]

True, but Mario wasn't Mario until Mario Bros. It actually was considered a Donkey Kong game, 'cause, hey, that was the title after all!

[realar]

Still they snuck alot of Donkey Kong Country in SSE, with the music, it does well but the backgrounds aren't like their inspirations just alot of randomness. I want the format of the original Adventure Mode to return but I'd love throwbacks to SSE yes i'd love the overlapping with connection stages. Blend.

[Mariobro4]

finally somebody critizes about the tainted bramble blast brawl mix

[ElectroBlade]

I LOVED that song!

[Falcovsleon20]

What's wrong with the Brawl version? Sure it doesn't hold a candle to the original DKC2 version but it's not exactly bad.

[ironwar23]

why didnt u show any music from DK64 if u kept mentioning it

[DavCube]

Youtube has a time limit, you know.

[ironwar23]

but.. u kept mentioning it.. and u could have at least played one u didnt even mention a certain one u just said music from dk64

[DavCube]

OK, i just couldn't pick one, all right? Whaddaya want? Sheesh.

[teemudude]

DK RAP!

[zelda8u]

hey Dav whats you opinion on all the animal crossing song and content?

[Reetherll]

you americans are so lucy england does nt even get this game for a while

[shoNuuff]

Have you noticed how Sakari gave nods to mostly his creations like the Kirby's and Pokemons. Although they virtually have the most varied song track, they have huge variety of music themes that aren't recycled. But He totally skimped on the big characters like Mario and DK, it's like they got real lazy. They also skimped out on the Special Guest like Snake and SOnic, where is my Snake Eater with Lyrics? I have to listen to opera I don't understand but not Snake Eater? Boo!

[DavCube]

Skimping with Mario? Not possible, i think.

And Pokemon aren't HIS creations... he just catered to actual game characters and the D/P poster boy, Lucario.

[DracoFlame67]

I like DK but ever since the game cube his stature took a nose dive...

I thought DK would actualy make a come back in brawl but it was to good to be true...

[Pethrus92]

I'm going to be really honest now, I think that it schould be much more bongo drums in kongs music, you know what i mean. FUNKY BONGO MUSIC!!! like in djungle climber or those bongo dk games for gamecube

[ninboy01]

King K Rool would have made AT at lest, but no way would he be PC.

First Geno, Ridley & now K Rool?

What the heck is with these characters?

Does DK deserve more representation in smash? Yes, I think he does. But I dont want another DK rep, DK & Diddy, that should be it.

I dont have anything against these characters, but you might as well Hope for Banjo & Chief in the next Smash tittle.

[DavCube]

*sigh* Again with the rep against K. Rool?

"BUT DAVE HE'S TOO FAT WE HAVE ENOUGH BIG GUYS BLAHBLAHBLAH"

NO. SHADDAP. How in the hell can you compare him and Ridley to outlandish 3rd party characters like friggin MASTER CHEIF?

Unless you can come up with a GOOD reason why he shouldn't be playable, just shut up. A GOOD reason, not just a long version of 'He sucks.'

[shoNuuff]

I guess a good reason would be is that there are a lot of heavy characters already(Bowser, DK, King Dedede, Pokemon Trainer:Charzard, personally i'd take K.Rool over King Dedede. King Dedede is awsome but thats 3 whole Kirby characters now.

Don't get me started on the Pokemon too, im suprised Mewtwo and Pichu was cut.

[cjszero01]

There's nothing wrong with having King K Rool as a playable character. At least he has a far, far, far better shot at being playable then Banjo or Chief, mainly because he is owned by Nintendo not Microsoft. Some of his moves could be borrowed from King Dedede, but he could have original moves as well.

[gggooodddyyy]

dk did get it bad in brawl, but you know who got it even worse? Samus...

Like come on! 1 character, 2 if you count ZSS

is not exactly complete representaion of the series...

[DavCube]

True, but at least its music rep was regulation and actually did pretty damn well.

[gggooodddyyy]

that is true. they did put in quite a bit of good metroid music

[ElectroBlade]

At least Samus got 3 stages.

[DavCube]

Even though two were basically THE SAME. They seriously need more variety with Metroid stages, and the Frigate was a good step forward.

[cjszero01]

I couldn't agree more with you about having King k. Rool as a fighter, the DKC2 boss fight music, funkey kong music, and I've had Bramble Blast seared into my head as a child but couldn't recognize it in SSBB when I first heard it. What have they done to it?

[ElectroBlade]

I've always hated DK anyway, no offence or anything. =P

[CrazyToastie]

Funky Kong's theme would've been awesome! Is the DK rap still in it? I wouldn't know...i'm British =[

[ElectroBlade]

I think it is

[NightmareSummon]

It is. I've got it but I don't remember if you start out with it or its unlockable.

[ChaoGuy2006]

I wanted DK Rap!! King K. boss theme sounds too jolly for a boss theme, I prefer the Krusha K. Rool song from DK64. Should have put in DK64 Boss Medley. I actually prefer the Melee version of Jungle Japes over Brawl. They didn't even put in one Diddy Kong racing song!! Hell yeah for Funky Kong theme!

[DavCube]

...they DID have the DK Rap. In the Melee stage.

Though i semi-agree on DKR music, for one, i didn't have any, and two, i wouldn't know what to pick. Plus i think Barrel Blast filled that bill.

[rotinaj72]

Stop complaining and go play some awesome brawl

[DavCube]

I'm not saying the game is bad. I'm saying DK has sucked in stature no matter where it's been since the gamecube. He was the original Nintendo franchise for crying out loud, and now nothing noteworthy at all.

[thessbmaster]

It's true. The DK Music overall sucked

[Ub3rU2mak1]

cant wait for the next vid1 5/5

[robohobobaseballseth]

nice job, still luv the vids.

[koolvidkid588]

not a lot of views yet huh Dav? And yeah, I agree with you, Nintendo hasn't done anything good with DK for almost a decade. Hopefully a Donkey Kong Wii is possible in the near future.

[DavCube]

Something was screwed up with uploading it, i dunno what.

[TaFutureBoy]

are you going to do one on Sonic music?

[yuyuhakushox]

I agree its been so long. nintendo needs to bring some old frachices back yes we do have new mario on the ds but i wanna see mour old frachises brung back I didnt even know who nana and popo were until ssbm

[yashanyu1]

man there shoulda of been a few more tracks from dk he has awesome music. and you were completly right bout bramble blast IT SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE THE ORIGINAL!!!!!

[ZeroFollower0]

Agree agree you are so right. they lack music from DKC keep up the great work 5*

[thepizzzzz]

feel it man... donkeykongs series has gone down
