Before the Sequel - Title Screen

Rolling Out - For Hilltop Heights Boss Act

Writing the music for Tails' first boss was quite thought provocative. There were quite a few things to consider.

The first is the fact that unlike Sonic, Tails is completely new at this. It's the first real hint of serious adversity in his new adventure. 

The second is that, like the next Tails boss, (which is a pure Rotatatron homage; we're keeping the track from Colors for that boss, even - the entire zone is a series of homages) this boss involves some rotating mechanics. Lake and I decided really early on that dance music would work really well as a 'leitmotif' for the unique badnik that Tails repeatedly faces off for his bosses, the way Sonic's battles with Eggman all borrow from speed-heavy genres. I needed to build up an expectation for Tails' boss music in general.

With that in mind, this short-ish piece is actually two themes. The first is House-ish, rotary, simplistic, all elements which represent the boss. The second half is a retro, Saturn-ish trailblazing theme, with a somewhat awkward trumpet taking the lead. New at this, it's still unsteady and unsure, but it's going to try its best regardless. This section represents Tails, as he sets off on his new adventure pursuing Sonic.

It's no big secret that Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy from Sonic Adventure is a thinly veiled homage to the flashy guitarists of this generation, specifically mimicking Satriani's Satch Boogie. For this boss I decided to emulate that, by mimicking Steve Vai's Juice. By mimicking a song I in fact mimic another song. How about that?

Due to the short-ish length of the boss there's not much form to this one, just an all-out funfest right from the start. Enjoy.

A high quality rip of the Manual Menu Music from Sonic Mega Collection. It was ripped from the PS2 disc to make it easier, since you can't rip from a GameCube disc very well.
