Best VGM 684 - Donkey Kong Country - Gang-Plank Galleon

[Winterwinstar]

when i hear this song i now think of Moonbase alpha

[sonicmario64]

This is really nice and catchy for a final boss theme, that's for sure! :D

[GreenSpyro]

most of the people here were fooled by this "Kredits" and im one of them, good memories :3, this to be exact was my first game , at five years old :3

[SNAAAKE]

@GreenSpyro

I was not fooled. I knew there was something going on lol..

"kredit" look like a fraud!

[GreenSpyro]

@SNAAAKE Well i was a little stupid back in time xD

[naotoy]

The End?

[Lossantoscj210]

Mr SupraDarky ..you totally forgot about "Fear Factory" ..come on now that was the effing shit of DK

[chandler1wasuuup]

"aah memories..."

[MrMDGamer]

fuck death metal this is some awesome head banging music right here!!

[SNESguy1992]

KREDITS! *yay* (King K. Rool jumps and kills me) Fake credits, Noooooooooooooooo XD good times. Awesome theme!

[ChaotixMachine]

Terrorized one of my babysitters to this song when I was a kid. Paused the game, and went hyper mode for hours. Good times.

[destybenway]

@ChaotixMachine You say Hyper Mode, that's cool. I also say Hyper Mode. You're a cool guy!

[HubbSp00t24]

This is like melodic punk metal, David Wise is a genius.

[rootbeer543]

When I first heard the beginning I thought "This is final boss music?" then I heard the epic drum outbreak and my mind was blown away by the nostalgia.

[superfinalking]

the only thing i don't like is the beginning... i had never heard this song before smash bros brawl and i skipped it when i heard it play... when i wanted to know why this song is so loved i went to youtube to have a complete listen... wow... i like what i am hearing... still don't particularly like the beginning.

[edwardwhitsett82]

i had a hard time when i was little with last boss

[kaijinseng]

I'm really happy for you and ima let you finish, but this series had the best music of all time!!!!!

[fianle]

This was one of my favourite themes in this game, I would replay the last fight just to hear this theme and drag it out.

[DemonFlame4]

holy fuck, amazing boss fight.

[fianle]

@DemonFlame4 Definitely, the best theme in the game to me.

[KnuxDBlueWerewolf]

STUPID FACE

[CECEngineer1337]

4 people thought they beat the game when they saw the "false credits".

[RetroChris15]

@CECEngineer1337 My older brother thought so. X3

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

No one's gonna make a "Soldier Thinks the Sentry is American" reference here? Come on, peeps.

[ZombieFighter95]

@VikutaaChyaaruzu cmon... references to rubberfruits videos aren't funny...

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

@ZombieFighter95

Problem, Stoic? ~trollface~

[ZombieFighter95]

@VikutaaChyaaruzu maybe *sniff* maybe...

[TrueYankeeFan]

Wait what, false credits? I've only played the GBA port and the ending is different on it.

[fianle]

@TrueYankeeFan For the original SNES version after you had beaten him the credits would roll but he would get back up stronger than before. After you beat him again then the real credits begin.

[neodeadalus2]

I regret giving my DKC copy to my friend back in elementary..!

[bastien20bis]

When I saw the boss hang I said " What it is everything " and I did not expect the false credits

(sorry if my english is not good, I'm french)

[snakeisninja]

@bastien20bis C'est d'accord. Je suis American, et mon Francais est un peu terrible.

;)

[bastien20bis]

@snakeisninja then we understand us :)

[ConvoyGTR]

omg. a amazing classic song to a amazing classic final boss fight

[gaki899]

If you listen to this song you'll be like: "dude can't handle it,

WIN here, WIN there win, win everywhere"

[westsidebballa]

PYRO!!!!!

[DeMarki81]

Reminds me of AVGN :)

[pureluck101]

Beats boss...The end.... YAYYYYY! I beat it :D Puts controller down.... BAM dead :(

[Jabaxaro]

(sounds crazy for saying this) but I feel somehow awkwardly reminded of Iron Maiden now... ;O

[BrolySuperSaiyen]

@Jabaxaro lol now that you mention it...you're right dude! =D

[nabbestemmia]

I laughted hard at the fake Kredits XD

[RayLedgend]

3 people put down the controller during the fake credits and lost =P

[EduRockR]

the best boss theme ever made

[FunkyHonkyCDXX]

I'll never forget the first time I saw the fake credits scroll in this fight to this music. So awesome.

[HTankGlory]

Indeed, same here... ^-^

[NicolaScorpion7000]

[charger619c]

@vampierwerewolf Care to translate?

[vampierwerewolf]

@charger619c boring i mean boring

[SolidMike84]

Somebody obviously have walked the plank (you know which ones)

[zangetsu9196]

This track is epic!

[SolidMike84]

I remember this! XD

Being the big bro I had all my sisters and little bro in my room cheering for me when I fought this beast...And then I lost and lost my cool as well so I threw all of my siblings outta my room :P Young and angry ^^

But I felt bad afterwards and invited them back and that's when I defeated K. Rool, then the credits rolled with the music playing....And my tears rolled down because I realized that I had finished an awesome game :,(

Good times...

[GameMasterGuy]

Thumb this up if you got killed after the "Kredits" because you put your controller down.

[Tonylonelyhedgehog]

2 people who heard this are tone-deaf

[TheRealVordox]

From what I heard so far about the new DK, there's no K'Rool. :(

[trashedscatter]

I wish Rare never left Nintendo. :(

[Arbiter159]

It took 683 songs to get to this?!

[Mallowigi]

DKC2 musics are a lot more awesome, but this one is clearly one of the best of this game. No wonder it appears on SSBB

[broncovols]

Easily my favorite track from this game. I love how it lulls you with the opening just to hit you with some throbbing beats after 20 seconds.

[Daevian91]

You know why Youtube got rid of the star ratings? Not even 100 stars could state how epic something like this is.

[Stall0wnized]

I cant put in words how mcuh i LOVE this tune from second 1 to 190!

[FAILGET64]

Better late than never. This and Pokey Means Business are the finest pieces of final boss music on the SNES.

[sonikkubalsak]

@FAILGET64 B3C4US3 TH3 4R3 FUCK1N M3T4L !!!4411111111ONE!!!!!!111

[skyguy343]

David Wise, great composer. Rare done good.

[coollein]

How could it take this long until this song was uploaded to this list!? Probably the best vgm ever! I love all the music from the Donkey Kong Country series. I'm not so much for the games, but I still would play 'em just for the music. By the way, the remake in DKC2 is almost better, it doesn't have the bossy part, but the first part is so great! 5/5

[camdenml]

Honestly Darky, I think you waited a little too long to upload this one. Still, great addition. Nice to finally see it up.

[gott957]

david wise is tha man!!!

[CossieSnesBasement]

Love Donkey Kong Country, Love Super Nintendo, Love the 90s.

[786hellomoto]

FINALLY!!! - great music = especially around 20 sec when it gets serious

[tumtillio]

I've been waiting for ye to put this up for aggggges, good job! :)

[JDoran24]

Just like every other song in the old school Donkey Kong games this song is amazing!!!! Donkey Kong Country music FTW!!!! ^.^

[Baghnal]

The first 25 seconds are just awesome xD

But the rest of this song is cool too.

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

finnaly this song is on the list! :D

[kemsus]

ABOUT TIME :P

[GD2kplus]

CLASSIC! That's all I can say. Well, maybe I'll add I want to replay this game now.

[shenloken2]

One of the most awesome boss battle themes of all time.

It starts out all light and fluffy then gets all dark and eerie for the final showdown.

Stuttering Craig put it quite well.

[Ghalheart]

I love how the music fits with the battle itself very well. Fight starts real easy, just dodge the crown, bonk his head, repeat. But then it gets more difficult, picks up in speed, rains down deadly cannonballs, the boss changes his attack pattern...

So freakin' awesome, I love it. Thanks for the nostalgia, SD. ^_^

[HunterWillie]

EPIC! I love this game! Got it from Wii ware so I could play it again!

[TheRandomDragon01]

King K.Rool is the only villain (that I know) badass enough to actually trick you with fake credits, then kill you while you're jumping and screaming that you won.

[SMRPGFAN101]

Brings me back to the first grade in 1996 when I was six. This series was a frequent rental for me back in those days.

[diamondlancer]

I rediscovered how great this song was when I heard it in Brawl.  I don't think I realized how good it is when I first played DKC.

[dunder567]

David Wise is awesome!

[ManfredMitchum]

Took long enough to get this up, but it was worth it!

[hanz101]

u always pic the songs that just get me going man XD.

the songs that took me years to get out of my head!

[TheRealVordox]

@hanz101 It's going to stuck for another few years! HAR HAR!

[sintality]

There is a tribute album to the second Donkey Kong Country 2 which is totally fan made, and one track David Wise helped on! It's called Serious Monkey Business, you can find it here on YouTube and it will link you to the album download.

[arandomperson12345]

Get it. It's epic. I mean it. It's on the OC Remix website.

[SAPSowash]

This is like one of my favorite themes in video games. It starts out like a jolly old pirate theme, but quickly starts to become an intense and teeth-grinding song. I love it. Great post dude

[Sephiko]

Crocodile Cacophony comes close, but this is still the king banana of the bunch.

[Cmckerracher]

Man I was so pumped when I heard that this was gonna eb a brawl remastered track.

[millerkiller04]

ABOUT TIME

[WarningSDE]

Never before have I truly appreciated how great of a song this is

[kalbtrombone]

One question. Why did it take you this long to get this one up here?

[HeavensMeat]

It's just brilliant: the whole OST. Totally unforgettalble melodies...

[Arc13]

BONK.

[OMGItsChrisLaws]

Fucking YES. That is all.

[FakiaKun224]

*bobs head* Favorite song in DK1 by far. Too bad Rare stopped collaborating with Nintendo. D;

[tattswein]

definitely one of my favorite video game music pieces of all time.

[TheRealVordox]

Such a hard beat...

Atmospheric symphony.^^

[ShadowPhazonv2]

It took you this long to upload this? This song is awesome. =D

[SonicTheHedgehog17]

Mah favorite boss theme in Donkey Kong series :3

[strugglepoo]

Did you know that the melody in the intro originated from a NES game called "Pirates!"?

watch?v=KdlQQJH0z3o

[venom3carnage]

about f-ing time you added this one. Its one of the best DK songs.

[Lionheart638]

Can't go wrong with some Donkey Kong Country music. I don't think there's a song from that series that I don't like. They're all great.

[SolidMike84]

@caboose218

CoD?

What does that mean?

[rollmc]

@SolidMike84 Call of Duty

[SolidMike84]

@rollmc

Ahaa XD (D'OH!) :P ^^

Thanx :)

[TheVideoGameFreak100]

@caboose218 *ahem* i play CoD but i lov nintendo as the best game company ever.

[dragonstormx]

@caboose218

Or just trolls that don't like anything.

[sk8er4ever0101]

@caboose218 i was playing COD at the release (COD:1). and i grew up with my NES and SNES and N64.......gamicst.

[trashedscatter]

Hell YEAH!. I would just go to this level and sit there just to listen to the song. I miss old school RARE music/games.... :( (By old school I mean the the time they were just making games for Nintendo)

[SchlossRitter]

Another song that gets stuck in my head.

[hruweg1999]

Great Vid!! :P

[UltimaShadow7]

When I heard this song in Brawl, I always would get pumped. This song is one of the best Nintendo has ever produced.

[DarthMario007]

Supra, is there no good music you can't upload? XD

Another great addition.

[JCKH2]

Great songs!!! This brings back lots of memories of playin Donkey Kong....Such good times :)

[SupraDarky]

The classic boss music against K. Rool composed by David Wise. For some reason I've always loved that little pirate-like melody at the start before it builds up into a more intense final boss theme.

[Romalian]

@SupraDarky ISN'T it the final boss theme? Lol

[HunterWillie]

@SupraDarky For real dude! It goes together so well too!

[RedtheGhost]

@SupraDarky This doesn't sound like a boss battle. . . oshi~! D:

[zak832]

wow, this took surprisingly long to make it onto the list. but either way great song

[assgoblin2damax]

I wouldn't be surprised if this game's entire soundtrack eventually ended up on this list as time goes by.

[Manawar]

This is the Highlight of this game, it's amazing how it builds up just like the fight with the big baddie, King K Rool. It keeps the tension high while he throws his crown, jumps up and down, and has cannonballs fall on you, this song is etched into my brain since I was a kid.
