FG's Underrated Videogame Music 216 - The Magic Lantern (Metal Slug 3)

Name: The Magic Lantern
Game: Metal Slug 3
Developer: SNK
Year of Release: 2000
Composer: Toshikazu Tanaka

The Metal Slug series, courtesy of SNK, is one of the most insanely fun but difficult run-and-gun series ever made, a chaotic war of almost cartoonish proportions first against human opponents before soon ramping up to aliens, then zombies, then aliens again.

One secret pathway in Metal Slug 3 offers up this bombastically fantastic theme, perfect for clearing your way through an icy trench of death, riding an elephant ARMED WITH LASER CANNONS! It's pounding, energetic and combines brass and rock in such a kickass way to prepare some ass kicking. While on an elephant. Armed with laser cannons. Awesome.

Studious listeners may recognise this being the theme I use for my Scissoraptor Films logo. Hopefully it fits, even though this isn't even in my top 20 songs.
