Music: Rocket Knight Adventures - Stage 1-1 (Remastered)

[Allplussomeminus]

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED IN THE REMAKE OF ROCKET KNIGHT!!!

[wesker100000000]

Thumbs up if you think rocket knight adventures needs a heavy metal remix (electric guitar, drums), all of the game could be done like, I asked a group who does game covers in metal but didn't get a reply :(., if I could play an electric guitar I'd do it myself.

[MrSegaLP]

figured there would be more remixes on here, but great job

[vguyver2]

Great work, it's awesome you are still working on a wonderful little gem like RKA's fantastic though mostly forgotten soundtrack.

[bearwarlock]

This is amazing man

[erik4727]

3-1 pleeeeeeeez!!!

[Dant2142]

I'm a bit of an amateur musician, but I have to ask. What's a blockophone?

[CobaltBW]

@Dant2142 I don't know. It's actually a marimba; I must have just made it up on the spot before finalizing which instrument I was going to use.

[VernianProcess]

I started working on an orchestral mix of this, but it isn't finished yet. I'll send you the link in a message, since youtube doesn't let you post urls.

[wesker100000000]

Awesome.

[isisdazs]

My word, this is excellent. I'm def giving this a download. For curiosity's sake, would you be willing to do 5-1 or 5-2? Apologies if this has already been asked.

[CobaltBW]

@isisdazs Ack. That was the plan, but my music situation has been a bit more complicated recently, so I haven't been sequencing lately.

Then there's the fact that RKA midis are really hard, so I don't know. :E

Better than Fire Emblem music. In fact; it'd be a better fit for most battle areas!

[Galforg]

Oh god damn that was awesome.

[LTGHOST678]

OMG I LUV U!

[Dunkelschwamm]

I would always use this game as proof that the Sega Genesis could still make bitchin' music. Still my favorite game soundtrack of all time.

[wesker100000000]

@Dunkelschwamm

Streets of rage games are also proof that their music was awesome.

[MarkC18]

What program is this?

[CobaltBW]

The sequencer is Steinberg Cubasis, and the midi softsynth is S-YXG50.

[Omegamario17]

Absolutely epic.

[dantephyzer]

Way to take a perfectly good song and make it 1000x better. Thank you so much for making this, it's incredible.

[amethystro]

One of the greatest games, with one of the greatest soundtracks. I've always been surprised that people haven't remixed the HELL out of this games tunes.

[dino339]

great job!!

10/10

[deadlyxkillapart3]

wow never seen a remix for this beat b4 but good job man

[Beanstalk5000]

DUDE YOUR FUCKING BEAST!!

[coolbones]

It's awesome!

[kibjohn]

Sounds like a completely enhanced rendition of the original song.

[AshForte]

sounds a lot like luigi's engine room from Mario Party on nintendo 64

[axelgear111]

This game was so charming, the gameplay was full of variety, and the music was superb. It's just as much fun to play today as it was then. Is there any way you could remaster level 3, the lava one? That song was AWESOME!

[IAmMrHentai]

agreed, Lava level music is soooo good.

[jussi96]

Sounds great! Could you share the midi file with us?

[CobaltBW]

The midi file was only intended to be played back in Yamaha XG synths, so it's not going to sound so hot if you're playing it in Microsoft's default.

If you're still interested though, all of the midis for my mp3s are uploaded to sapphirecontrol[dot]net/music/­vg , so you can download the RKA midi there if you'd like.

[cursesfoiled]

Any plans to do more Rocket Knight music? I'd definitely like to hear more :)

[CobaltBW]

I've already got the boss theme completed, it's just a matter of uploading it.

[henritje19]

cool!

[kiwikenobi]

Awesome! I love Rocket Knight Adventures! I agree that the game (and its soundtrack) doesn't get nearly the attention it should.

If only they would put Sparkster in the next Smash Bros. game. Then it would get the attention it deserves!

[MidKnightBlaze]

Ya know what? Sparkster WOULD make a great Smash Bros character! I can see the perfect controls design cause he fits so well! see, this is why the fans should be in charge, cuz RKA could have went as far as Sonic. could you imagine a full CGI remake of RKA 1 and 2? graphically, it would breath taking!

[TheKwikKash]

I totally agree. In fact, this stage's music sounds like something that would be playing in a Smash Bros. game.  I wonder how long until those in charge realize, Sparkster deserves a comeback!

[critic205]

AWESOME I just got the game, thank you for the remix.

[CobaltBW]

No sweat.

[Charileisdabest]

nice song

[Krystallwolvelt]

Woah thanks my man about your remix on my video total respect dude I love RKA so much sparkster is my hero.

[CobaltBW]

Sure thing! :)

I know plenty of people who've played RKA and listened to its soundtrack a long time ago, but I only picked up the game about a month or two ago. It really is a shame the soundtrack hasn't gotten a lot of attention from musicians, and it's partly the reason why I'm considering doing some more.

[autosaver]

Cool

[espeorb]

You do such a great job on your music.

[CobaltBW]

Aye, thanks a lot.
