I used three N163 channels for the "guitar" sound, then ran them through an amp simulator in my DAW, so no, this isn't purely FamiTracker, but I made the song fully in FamiTracker before adding the stereo effects. I hope you enjoy it.

So the reason that this song was stuck in my head recently was because I happened to stumble across the "Bouncing Seals" video again and proceeded to replay it numerous times. This song was already a banger and those seals just enhanced it even more.

I always get this one confused with the boss music but it is in fact the power-up music when Kirby's inhales a Mint Leaf in the English localisation and a roasted sweet potato in the original Japanese version! I think it was supposed to be Kirby's actually burping but this changed to fresh minty breath for the west. Does our breath really smell that bad?

As usual, I decided to add a few individual touches to the track, evolving it ever further as things build up until I landed on the baseline theme to finish things off. I had a lot of fun with this one and I hope you enjoy.

Arcadia X - Highway To Arcadia

LYRICS:
below the ocean
there's a deep burning fire
beneath the ebb and flow
a core that is breathing
will we ever stop
and wonder what's beneath the surface
will we even reach
will we even reach the furnace
below the ocean sky
