Cave Story BETA Music 1 - Main Theme

[ReligiousHero]

Hm.. I like this one better.

[porygonlover322]

Here's what I think should have been done: the version that's in the game plays on the title screen, then this plays in Plantation. It's just better level music.

[RedBigButton]

@porygonlover322 I read playstation at first...

[turtwig752]

I never knew quote had an ikachan on his hat

[Calvinneh]

I... like this. Many people don't!

I think this isn't that bad. It sounds a lot more... 16-bit though, as opposed to 8-bit. Well I consider all the current CS tracks to be 8 bit.

[GoreCrowVII]

Sounds like SHIT! The version that plays in the game is sooooo much better!!

[Xeerinare]

@GoreCrowVII Well that is why it's called "Beta". ;)

I personally like this music. :)

[shaymin2348]

@GoreCrowVII CAN U NOT READ IT SEZ BETA

[GoreCrowVII]

@shaymin2348 Wow, really? I posted a comment two months ago and just recently it got a sensible, polite reply. Your illiterate shithead self just saw it and decided I didn't get it the first goddamn time!

[shaymin2348]

@GoreCrowVII well in that case EXCUUUUSSEE ME PRINCESS

[GoreCrowVII]

@shaymin2348 You are retarded, almost offensively so.

[shaymin2348]

@GoreCrowVII Retarded? Oh you crossed the line mofo

[GoreCrowVII]

@shaymin2348 You were miles beyond the line when you chose to all-caps at me for something I didn't need to be told at all.

[BrackHatake]

Poor Balrog. It must be horrible to go through life with people mistaking you for a toaster of all things.

[123phi123]

@BrackHatake Pixel even said he's a bar of soap.

[penov8255]

@123phi123 Pixel said BASED on a bar of soap. That doesnt mean he is one.

[alexdz123321]

@penov8255

Maybe Misery turned a bar of soap into Balrog.

[quotesavecurly]

a rock in rectangular form with somethings

[quotesavecurly]

i think balrog is simply a rock in rectangular form

[shaymin2348]

this is as epic as the non-beta

[christehchris]

GOH, MIMIGACHU

[shanedawsonluv123]

Who is that mimiga?

ITH PIKAHCOO

[shaymin2348]

@shanedawsonluv123 sue possibly but not sure

[luigifan586]

this would have been perfect for the game

[sonicdude8745]

*looks in background*

QUOTE LOOK BEHIND YOU XD

[Nicholasc99]

this should be in a hidden button/keystroke in the menu

[randomperson763]

What's wrong with quote's pants?

[RetroRuoy]

@randomperson763 nothing. nope.avi :V

[randomperson763]

@RetroRuoy what does avi mean?

[yinyang147]

@randomperson763 It's a reference to a video on youtube named "nope.avi"

[randomperson763]

@yinyang147 And why exactly did you say that?

[estester100]

why is quote so different looking?

[StreakXD]

They're called Balrogs. Geez.

[DavidWOlfCat]

lol fish on the wall =P

BTW this version is awesome! =D

[DavidWOlfCat]

lol fish on the wall =P

BTW this version is awesome! =D

[Ninjastyle124]

HUZZAH! I'm a Toaster Lunch-box!!

[WXKFA]

@Ninjastyle124 old and not funny.

[Ninjastyle124]

@WXKFA Like I totally care :P And did I say I was trying to be funny? Derp, grow some balls and try to be tough guy somewhere else than the internet. Gawd, way to ruin fun, dickbag.

[yinyang147]

@Ninjastyle124 Blocked for douchebaggery.

And he is right, toaster-lunchbox is old and not funny. Get with the times.

[WXKFA]

@Ninjastyle124 Easy there, I was just pointing it out because I find it annoying. I'm sorry if you find it funny, but I don't and could have replied to anyone else's post. You just happened to be the first one there.

[SonowZetax]

I guess we can all agree he's a Toaster Lunchbox in the shape of a bar of soap.

[shanedawsonluv123]

actully at first i thought he was a...

virtual dog head T-T

[shanedawsonluv123]

in the background its puu black 

[NintendenOnline]

@isyou Balrog is a bar of soap. I'm not kidding, that's how Balrog was made- Pixel looked at a bar of soap for reference! =D

[270Akio270]

I thought he is a... stone o_O

[CptnMoosingle]

You are all wrong. Balrog is not a toaster, a luncbox OR a bar of soap, even if he is based off a bar of soap. Balrog is simply Balrog.

[TheMissingNoMaster]

It's not beta music. Download the mp3 and invert it to see what I mean. Exact same instruments, but with some king of alternate glitch instrument overlay.

[skyzer332]

Toaster lunchbox frogs

[GameMasterR5]

Also Ikachan hat.

[GameMasterR5]

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SWIMMING TOASTER SUITCASES MADE OF SOAP SHOULDN'T THEY MELT IN THE WATER

[BananaMuffinEmpire]

-throwing knives and other stuffs at the screen- NOOOO!!!! I HAATTTEEEE FURRRY!!!! -dying inside-

[WaffleSpycrab]

@BananaMuffinEmpire Can i ask why?

[RA8IDP3NGUIN1]

@BananaMuffinEmpire Grow up.

[halfaheartbongobongo]

pixel's beta songs are the only good remix songs

[Jalex125]

It's so early beta quote has ikachan on his hat.

That is very early.

Wow.

[Audioworm]

@MrPoiuyt123

Unless Quote has the spur. ;)

[DrREEENman123]

Cave Story is like a perfect 16-bit game.The fact that it's a freeware game done by a very small group of people(or probably one man) makes this game the best ever.

[xLightningWolFx]

I cant figure out if that is a gun in his left hand or.....

[w7y7a7t7t]

i love this game as much as the next buy, but i gotta say when he changed the protagonist's name form curly brace, why the hell we he choose quote? its honestly opne of the worst names i've ever herd. but o well you only see his name once in the game right :)

[YoshiAngemon]

Those of you with a form of Audio Manager, or a DSi Music Player, adjust the sound to -4, it sounds like the Final Version!

[AwesomeReo]

I daresay this is better than the final version.

[LunarLemonade]

If I recall correctly, the main protagonist was called Curly Brace (as it is supposed to be wrote on his cap), but it was then changed to Quote, and the other robot protagonist was then named Curly Brace.

Anyway that music is great, I wonder why Pixel didn't kept it.

[InsanimationStudios]

@LunarLemonade He later hcanged the instruments...I guess to make it sound more "retro".

[darkhallwaygames]

why are people saying its curly when its qote

[xLightningWolFx]

@darkhallwaygames Because in the beta, curlybrace was quotes name, in the final, he created a girl named curly brace and changes his name to quote. :)

[KeeperoftheDarkHeart]

this would be an epic ringtone...

[Fizzbach]

Dig on Ika-chan hat.

[TheGoldenlegend1]

i don't like cave story music.

i LOVE it!

[Werewolf2382]

Cave Story bro.

[PopMusicKiller]

Call me a heretic, but I actually find this better than the final version.

[ArceusShaymin]

I love how Curly Brace (Quote in final project) is wearing an Ikachan hat (Ikachan being another one of Pixel's creations).

[ChaosTFox]

makes it sound like a Cave Story for Genesis XD

[alucard89011]

Great game and musik.

[genowhril809]

TOO MANY TOASTER-LUNCHBOXES

[yinyang147]

@genowhril809 Bars of soap >.>

[genowhril809]

@yinyang147 i prefer Toaster Lunchbox =3

[ArceusShaymin]

@genowhril809 hey, mr. enraged human. Remember me?

*pulls out new, fully upgraded Nemesis that was obtained by you asploding and dropping that 5 Exp. Chip*

DIE FROM DEATH DUCKS OF DOOM!

[genowhril809]

@ArceusShaymin *fires a lazor from mouth,downgrading the nemesis to lvl 1* MUAHAHAHAH!

[ArceusShaymin]

@genowhril809 aw, man.

*kills Chaba, upgrading Blade to lvl. 3*

[MetalChaos0]

@yinyang147 That's what I thought

[morrowindarcherman]

@yinyang147 But "Toaster-Lunchbox" is so much more fun

[kragor1200]

@yinyang147 i know he's based off a bar of soap buuuuuut.... TOASTER LUNCHBOX N00B! no offence intended.

[ZomfgBBQRox]

@kragor1200 lol ye hes a soap

[roblox184]

@yinyang147 what is balrog? toaster or bars of soap? im dont know :(

[LucasSimmsSucks]

@yinyang147

Haven't seen Youtube Poops, have you?

[yinyang147]

@LucasSimmsSucks Haven't seen my other channel, have you?

[LucasSimmsSucks]

@yinyang147

So, you just didn't get the hint? (not to be rude)

[yinyang147]

@LucasSimmsSucks So, you didn't get MY hint?

I MAKE them, for pete's sake. And I don't see how balrog being a toaster lunchbox is YTP related, and I don't really care. Pixel said "bar of soap," so it's "bar of soap" to me.

[yinyang147]

@LucasSimmsSucks Nope, and I don't really care. Pixel said "bar of soap," so it's "bar of soap" to me.

[LucasSimmsSucks]

@yinyang147

Ok, ok, let's juts stop now.

[ImperialRonod]

@yinyang147 Bars of awesome <('-'<)

[13gamerbullet]

@yinyang147 lol at the bubbles next to Balrog/pooh/puu black

[SuperSmashDolls]

@genowhril809 Pixel said they were once common enemies in the beta.

[KirbyKlaim64]

@genowhril809  thers only 2

[yinyang147]

@KirbyKlaim64 16. 1 big, 15 small.

Some are hard to see.

[megamoop]

@genowhril809

FINALLY, IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS HE IS A TOASTER LUNCHBOX.

[azimuth457]

@genowhril809 and/or suitcases.

[KajackNeo]

I still don't understand if the main character is a he or a she.

Anyway, I effin' love the music of this game, it's amazing.

[228SomeGuy]

In my opinion, this version sounds better than the final version.

[TehBgrogan]

Is that Sue behind Quote?

[kookybird234]

@TehBgrogan looks like toroko

[yinyang147]

@kookybird234 It's Sue

[munkki100]

@kookybird234 phail



[ManfredMitchum]

It's just down an octave....

[DarkStarboye]

Way better then the final version.

[darkangelsv1]

Sounds like something out of the MSX

[thunderzap7]

I like the final version better

[SuperRandall]

Pixel revealed Balrog's actually soap. We all know he was lying though. ;)

[masterlichen]

It is crazy how the choice of key changes the tone of this so much

[lishakara]

Sounds like a jazzed-up version in a different key?

I like this version a lot, although I do think it sounds better in the other key and at that tempo.

[Dispozition]

It's up a few keys and the drums are more syncopated, that's where the jazz feeling is coming from.

I honestly prefer the final version. A lot tighter and a better overall feeling.

[Dispozition]

Woah, I take that back, it's actually down a key or two, not up.

[Lumpytoast]

This one is better.

[LawSan721]

has anyone tried dling the song from either link? my computers norton is going apeshit every time i go to that site. I wanna make sure im not downloading some crazy virus cuz i wanna get that bundle so bad.

[duderun14]

It's not a virus

[lilbonsly]

Ikachan's on his cap. :3

[NamoNakamura]

I like all the beta music better than the current music, especially this and Living Waterway.

[tehjonbro]

This version seems to have more of a booming jazzy adventure-start feel than the final version does. It almost kinda sounds like a big orchestra composed this song and then it was converted to 8-bit.

Overall I think I like this one more but the final one still fits better in the Plantation, as out-of-place as it may be for brainwashing slave camp music.

[Krondelo]

Well spoken, this music is really good and blew me away for finding it in a free game.

[PurpleYorshee]

Also: Is that lots of mini-Balrogs I see in the background?

[Chiznitz]

Yessir, yes they are.

[wu200]

Yes, balrog was going to be a generic enemy

but they just ended up with 1.

Quote was gonna be called curly brace!

[lokik21]

Isn't it two? They had that ghost like Balrog thing

[wu200]

he is pooh black he looks like balrog but he isn't

[PurpleYorshee]

...I dunno, I kinda like this version too.

[shadowowolf]

I like teh final better :l

[meirus]

I like this one better than the final.

[Phazonaddict]

I prefer the current, but this has it's charm too.

[mz5879]

sounds like it like a mix say NES & SNES

WELL I DONT KNOW

[Bonerfiesta]

VOTE BALROG, 2012

A VOTE FOR HIM IS A VOTE FOR FREEDOM (also, a free car in every garage)

[isyou]

what is balrog anyway

a toaster or what

first i saw him i thought he was a suitcase

[Bonerfiesta]

I do believe he is a lunch box. I could be wrong, though.

[teamfailer]

hes a toaster that is a lunch box

[NintendoxFighter]

@isyou He's a bar of soap

[umnachtet]

@isyou First time I saw him I thought he was a sardine-can.

[BHaustrin]

@isyou Soap. 

[mariosonicfan2010]

@isyou bar of soap

[gamergirlz11]

@isyou XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD­XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD LOL

[volnutt333]

@isyou he is in fact a suitcase

[kragor1200]

@isyou he's a toaster lunchbox

[Pretztailfan95]

@kragor1200 The Brave Little Toaster's half-brother!

[bigboyyo13]

and a toaster in every kitchen!

[WingZero1828]

@Bonerfiesta HUZZAH!

[Brashgar]

@Bonerfiesta And a daily Huzzah!

[kookybird234]

@Bonerfiesta 2012 is when cavestory crosses into our world. (ooh look a mimiga!)

they mayans planned it all along

[DgBarca0]

@Bonerfiesta and free toaster !

[InsanimationStudios]

@Bonerfiesta Or a free Cave Story game on your Wii. Or a small ceramic Balrog statue. With Balrog as president, oil spills would be no problem. Since he's a bar of soap, he'd wash all the animals himself.

[ArceusShaymin]

@Bonerfiesta and, a free bar of soap in every bathroom shower.

[ArchTV]

@Bonerfiesta (and a bigass bar of soap for president (/prime minister/king/whateverthehell)

[YTPmaster101]

@Bonerfiesta And free toast delivered to your doorstep every morning :D

[theguycalledchris]

It has something that the final theme doesn't, but also lacks some of the flair...

[Cobaltmaster]

wait what beta?

[yinyang147]

The actual beta isn't on the net that I know of, but the music was posted on pixel's old website.

Pretty much, the only evidence of the beta are just screenshots.

[FanAnimeBug]

i cant download D: i guess it cuz it a foreign thing O.o ill try my other browsers xD

[Marzen64]

Huzzah!

You know, I kinda like this version better than the final version.

[GlennMagusHarvey]

Seems like in a lot of the beta tracks, Pixel composed them in simple keys (C, F, G, D, etc.), and then later transposed them and tweaked the instruments.

[tmservo]

no cave story cursors

[tmservo]

THIS VIDEO IS RESPONE TO CURLY STORY

[tmservo]

this video is respone to curly story

[tmservo]

igor and killer robots is recycled

[demonicLEMONS]

that picture of quote is pretty scary looking, like astroboy or something, other than that, this is prettty good

[purpleblah2]

It's not Quote, IT'S CURLY BRACE :O:O:O:O Yeah Quote isn't invented until Cavestory and Curly is recycled.

[yinyang147]

Jeez, nobody seems to agree with you, purple. But you're right. In the beta, it was curly, not quote.

If anyone still doesn't think so, search around the miraigamer forums, or a wiki.

[goombapatrol054]

it's true.

[SmashGenesis]

@yinyang147 - I had thought that Quote was just called Curly Brace, and his name changed when the current Curly Brace was invented?

[42Irrational]

It depends. Was this picture made during the beta? Or after Cave Story came out?

Beta: Protagonist=Curly Brace

Final: Protagonist= Quote

[yinyang147]

It was made during the beta, most likely.

[SmashGenesis]

@42Irrational - Not quite actually. Curly as we know her wasn't around then, and Quote was named Curly Brace.

[lnBloom]

I like BETA Quote's Ikachan hat.

[Alvren]

The music in this game is not bad at all...

[Nif3]

Not bad at all? Cave Story music is fucking awesome.

[acekingie]

you fuckin said it mate. best game ever.

[Deredesa]

I was kinda bleh to the story in this game, but Pixel's music in the game makes it so friggin' memorable. My favourite song in it is Geothermal, but the rest of the tracks are all great as well!

[goombapatrol054]

it's fantastic.

[yinyang147]

It's not a remix. Read the title, or the description.

[goombapatrol054]

read the title.

[Naruto8200]

cave story BETA is like a NES version of cave story in my appinion; and cave story (original) is like a GBA kind of game :3

[powerpc127]

I prefer the final version. This one has too much bass.

[DS127]

There's no such thing as "too much bass".
