Running Hell made a top-10 appearance (tied in the 10 spot) in the GaMetal Song Ballot from 2019, and had a decent showing (most requested Cave Story song) in the 2020 song ballot, so I know this is one a lot of you have been waiting for. Lucky for us, it was one of the randomly selected songs for the Side-Quests 3 album!
Enjoy!
(Side-Quests Volume 3 is fully available on the GaMetal Patreon and will be released publicly after all videos are posted!)

a black wind blows through your body.
your guitar level is unchanged.
"Your weapons drop to Level 1!"
Nemesis: Okay then.
Spur: That's cute.
@@megaman161 still need that level 3 super missile launcher to absolutely murder ballos though.
@@megaman161 Bubbline: OH GOD WHY
@@Duke_of_Petchington good old swap trick to boost your fire rate.
@@megaman161 Moreso this:
Spur: Eh, whatever.
Nemesis: LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Welcome to Hell!"
Me: "Well thank you, friendly sign!'
**Faceplants into instant death spikes**
ah, such a familiar feeling
14 attempts to beat it the first time. The 13th was a double KO on Ballos last phase. 14th run was the day after that 13th attempt. Was great regardless and I would repeat the same blind experience.
I was honestly thinking at first that the sign was a death trap, until I found the wall
got to that part aswel, 1st i was freaked out that most of my shit was gone (mostly levels) then i regained some, got through the most of it and then the waves of angels come and i was overwhelmed quickly.
never beaten it but tempted to buy cavestory + to try and finally finish the fight.
@@DarkDyllon There's also an official freeware version if you're low on cash that can be found in a page that goes by cavestory(dot)org . Note that is the original release made by Pixel so don't expect the extras of the Nicalis releases
JONNY FINALLY DID A THEME FROM MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GAME
I'M IN TEARS
You too? 😊
SAME HERE, I'M SCREAMING RN
Ditto.
I woke up to this today, and God it was amazing.
Same here man
Glad to see how such an amazing game is not being forgotten. Let it be in the hall of fame as one of the best indie games that has ever existed.
you could have left out the indie part
@@The_Pear for real, does it being indie make it in any way inferior to a AAA game?
@@unlimited8410 i think he meant it was one of the best Games overall not only under indie games
@@unlimited8410 Being indie makes it more impressive, because it didn't have a big budget or team behind it.
Yeah, I don't think the "indie" part denotes it in any way inferior. If anything, I think its a badge of honor. Especially considering it was early games like this that really helped carve out the modern indie market in the first place.
“An armed rock robot? I would never have known if the Professor hadn’t told me. You’re very well-made, indeed.”
Mega Man? lul
This is the best mix of nervous anxiety and heroism to ever be in a final level, and you did it justice. Let's go, Paper Bowser!
paper bowser from super paper mario
i wonder
@@omarpikm2101 Actually, my bet is on Sticker Star, not because it's a better game, but because the guitar riff is too sweet.
Personally speaking, I think it'll be from either TTYD or Color Splash.
Cave Story is the indie game grandfather, thank you for showing it the love it absolutely deserves.
True
was JUST talking to my friend about playing cave story again since its such a good game. looks at phone and sees this was uploaded it's a sign, god is real and he loves cave story just as much as us.
@@yokoelf1293 lol true
a black wind blows through your body....
your nostalgia level goes up to lvl max....
"Did you know, the woman named Jenka had a younger brother ?"
"His name was Ballos. Like his sister, he wielded powers far beyond those of mortals..."
"He used his magical powers to help and guide people, and the people loved and trusted him in return."
"Even more than they did their own king..."
The jealous king had Ballos apprehended and thrown into prison, where his punishment was brutal and cruel. Humans can be terrible creature indeed…
"Ballos was driven into a state of pure, uncontrollable rage by the punishment. Weakened by the torture, he was helpless to contain the fury."
This song was the 2000's version of Megalovania
I hate how fucking accurate that comparison is.
I had a MUCH easier time with Sans than this level holy goodness.
@@theadventuresofdonny7122 once you get past the falling blocks it's honestly a breeze
unless you are a speedrunner.....
Nah, that's Last Battle.
Did it explode the internet at that time?
This is awesome, Cave Story is not dead yet, thanks God.
Next Request: Last Battle, of Cave Story.
Greetings from Chile ;)
damn, that last cave acoustic was fantastic.
I hope we can get a full rendition of it soon, it's sooooo good.
after looking Jhonny going a long way, i realize he is criminally so underrated, Jhonny ABSOLUTELY deserves at LEAST 1M subs, come on man, let's make it a reality
once upon a time, this man just used his real name for his channel and had under 10k
The Side-Quests 3 finale draws near! Just as a reminder, the album will be released publicly at the end of the month after all the videos are up, and if you REALLY want to get a hold of the last track and want to help support GaMetal at the same time, you can get the full album now on the GaMetal Patreon ( patreon.com/jonnyatma ). See you tomorrow! :)
I'm getting flashbacks of playing that lvl over and over again on the highest difficulty oh god the falling rock room
You're a brave person for tackling Cave Story's hard. There are some bits that are just a total nightmare and that's one of them.
@@imptwins It really gives meaning to the sign
Number 1 rule of Cave Story: DO NOT PLAY HARD MODE UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR SANITY.
@@akesan2374 I was not warned before I started my hard playthrough I spent over a day on the last area I can still see the cupid's arrows and falling rocks when I close my eyes
@@harishodzic350 i just got recommended a different cover of this song that led me here, and i said the exact same thing there. the flashbacks are intense
I always considered labrynth fight to be curly's theme, and this one to be curly and quotes theme. Because this fight is probably their most personal, they were created to destroy the demon crown and this is the only true way to do it
I agree.
This whole theme sounds less like Curly and a lot more like "the odds are against us, but we have to succeed. This is what we were made to do."
I also associate Running Hell with Ballos a lot, due to actually learning about him here and all. That dangerous/tragic sound of the first part fits him well, and the heroic later parts cheer the player on to finally put an end to the cycle.
@@ninjapotatolorf6237 Oh absolutely, same.
Running hell is one of the reasons why Cave Story is one of my all time favourite games
I do really hope to get some Last Battle action some time in the future, since that one is such a banger
This is the best song from that game, IMO. Nothing else gets my blood pumping like this.
I prefer last cave
Oppression exists too, but Running Hell and Last Cave are contenders IMO
@@mrblackjacker32.03 I got really confused when I saw that notification
@@lostgem8225 for the record I was mentioning the BGM of the battle against Core.
NOBODY'S gonna mention Last Battle? Aight, well, Last Battle.
Also @@lostgem8225 lmao
A song where each note is a stress flash back..
I got a physical sensation that shot through my whole body when I listened to this. The Cave Story soundtrack was some of the first music I EVER started listening to, and running hell was my favorite track of the whole OST. I was 8 or 9 years old when I played the game, and I listened to the soundtrack on my cruddy Sandisk mp3 player that I had at the time. This cover gives me feelings that are indescribable through words. Thank you for this awesome cover Jonny.
It was a black wind dropping your weapons down to Lvl 1
I know nothing about this game or this song or even this character.
Yet GaMetal totally makes me want to find out. Damn fine work.
The original game was freeware! You can download it pretty easily, so by all means go and find out! There's also a version on Steam that costs a small fee, but comes with some additional content like upgraded graphics, 60 FPS (Freeware is capped at 50), additional side content challenges, and alternate remixed soundtracks.
Oh also there's a version on Switch but it's basically the steam version with 2 new soundtracks and local multiplayer Co-op (Don't ask me how that works in a singleplayer metroidvania, because I don't know)
@@coiledAgent P2 doesn't exist in dialogues i am right?
NOT THE CAVE STORY SONG I WAS EXPECTING (Oppression was my pick) BUT HOLY SHIT! *RUNNING HELL*! This song will forever be burned into my memory from my good ending run, thanks for the amazing cover Jonny!
I KNEW IT! The silhouette for this one was bothering me SO MUCH because I knew I recognized it! And then I made the assumption that it was this, and I guessed right!
You have no idea how happy I was to have this just randomly show up in recommended
3 Years
It took me 3 years to beat the Angry Rock Man
BUT GOD, the song kept me going, and a remix is just what I needed
After all these years, Cave Story is still one of my favorite games.
How did I miss this song? I feel betrayed by TH-cam for not giving me this absolute banger earlier.
I see we're ending with Bowser here. I'm sure he'd approve. After all "What's a finale without Bowser? A cruddy finale, that's what!"
Allow me to tell you the story of this cave, and I Quote: "I need a Magikarp Festival cover"
I strangely don't remember that part of the game. Was it in a different ending I missed?
@@ninjapotatolorf6237 ah yea, it's the true ending, sorry for the spoilers
The game that inspired a lot of game developers.
Thank you Mister Amaya.
I found cave story in 2021,
Finally this game is still alive.
Man, following this album has been an absolute TREAT so far! Full of surprises and absolute BANGERS from my favorite indies. I'm so excited to see how you cap it off!
Ah, been so long since I heard a Cave Story remix. Love it!
I wouldn’t mind if you did an entire Cave Story album. VikingGuitar’s is rocking as all get out, but honestly I just want more Cave Story jams.
Not sure why I'm getting so many Cave Story recommendations lately, but I'm not complaining!
I have played through this game multiple times and it still baffles me how this can be called "Curly's Theme" when there are much better songs to represent her character.
Still, Running Hell is one of my favorite tracks in any video game, and this cover does not disappoint. Keep rocking, my dude.
Man, this brings me back to those days years ago, first-time playing through this game and constantly dying in this area before ever reaching Ballos. Then I would finally reach Ballos and die some more
Oh....the rage....
but I still love Cave Story
As if I couldn't love this game even more!
That hit me straight through the heart, man!
Oh hey look, as super good cover of a super good song from a super good game!
Ah, Cave Story, the King of Indie Games. I'd love to hear you do a cover of the Main Theme/Planation some day, but Running Hell is as good a place to start with this games awesome soundtrack!
Love for one of my favorite games. This song was hype af when you played it and the remix matches it
YES. Cave Story + GaMetal is my dream come true
Я мечтал о кавере на эту шедевральную мелодию в твоём исполнении. Спасибо! Круто!
опа русский я думал что я здесь единственный русский
Хей йо
Русскоязычных как правило везде хватает, просто обычно они выпендриваются своими познаниями в английском, а у меня они на уровне плинтуса ("и что это за такой диковинный уровень владения английским?" - спросит американец)
@@palacher7555 хоть я учу английский но мне лень писать на нем .-.
I'm so so so happy you did this song! My comment is in the intro which warms my heart! Now for the master plan:
Step one: GaMetal Running Hell Remix
Step two: GaMetal does the rest of the Cave Story soundtrack
Step three: profit
I think he did a bit of ruined egg corridor too
I'd love him to do Last Battle though
Look in the background of the silhouette... i can tell that's the bowser battle from the thousand year door.
Hype time.
Agreed, kammy is waaaaay too close for any other paper iteration.
YEAH BOI!! Its cave story time! Also theme of best girl! I love the fact that this game both gets some nice attention while still being under the radar
Anyway here are my requests:
Hoist the sword with pride in the heart-etrian odyssey 3:the drowned city
End of the raging waves-etrian odyssey 3:the drowned city
Soul ablaze-Megaman ZX Advent
Unseen entities-Under night in-birth
Beat eat nest- under night in-birth
Open War- Again -under night in-birth
Surge of power-megaman battle network 6
Cybeast battle-megaman battle network 6
Laplace-Lunar Knights
That is all,can't wait for the next one,specially cuz its finally time for the great king bowser to get the spotlight! Thank you for all these great covers that you always give us! Until the next time keep rocking on!
Damn his skill with covers is almost as crazy as this final level. Awesome!
This cover was more fire than the depths of hell itself.
And as if it couldn't get any better, we've got another Bowser cover after this.
Needless to say, this has got me excited now.
Can't believe I actually gave up on hearing this one a while back. Every bit as glorious as I'd hoped.
Still standing strong in my requests for Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter's final boss theme!
i like how its the original version, instead of the nicalis one
nice cover! earned a new sub :)
how did I miss this?! one of my favorite games of all time got the gaMetal treatment!
I've been waiting for this for so long and you sure friggin delivered
oh my gosh
Every year is a new evolution I swear, you can tell the year a video was made just by seeing 5 seconds of it. Awesome work, keep it up!
This song is just so well suited for your style. One of your best works!
Just reached this point on Switch. This cover fits perfectly
Would love a full version of that Last Cave acoustic. I checked Atmacoustics but I couldn't find it!
Great cover as always. This game has been something special ever since it came out.
Still one of the best indie games of all time, one of the true greats. You REALLY captured the sense of anxiety and "by any means necessary" that Running Hell installs in the player! Hope to see "Last Battle" or "Eyes of Flame" sometime.
Man, its been a year since I did this recording. Definitely still a blast to do and one of the first indie games I ever played. Always a pleasure to help out with gameplay, Jonny.
And for those interested in the RAW gameplay: th-cam.com/video/HB09cSPmapc/w-d-xo.html
This stage along side woth 2 bosses (the last having 4 phases) was BRUTAL!
Just hearing this theme brings back torturous memories of my first time running through it. Awesome mix and performance as always! Really captured the frantic feeling the original brought on.
It's been 10,000 years...
Thank you so much!!
Cave Story. Finally. YES.
If that bowser silhouette means it’s his thousand year door battle theme I’m gonna go ballistic
Jonny did the n64 one last year, so I doubt it's that one. Thousand years door seems likely.
What if it's Disco Devil (Hole Punch's battle theme)? Just because it's Paper Bower in the preview doesn't necessarily mean it's gotta be about him
@@PeanutTechno it that was the case then he would just have used paper mario instead, it he used bowser is for a reason
how you hangin
"ballistic"
nice cave story joke
Jonny is catering to all fan bases! It’s great! 🔥👍
DAAAAAAMN
I did not know this was uploaded, thank you
man your cover is so fucking good nice
My favorite indie game! I remember beating it for the second time after finding out about the sanctuary!
Amazing job man!
where play game i want play game
@@omarpikm2101 I played it on 3ds when I first bought it.
"This place is fucking Hell. Both figuratively. And literally." - SomecallmeJohnny
GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
Man this is a fantastic remix of her theme! Makes me wanna listen to cave story ost again
0:00 and 2:13 have the best riff in the WHOLE ALBUM! Not even Paper Bowser's riff can keep up with this.
00:12: Oh. That kick in was a little flat. That's a little disappointing.
00:28: Oh it's still disappointingly flat... Huh...
00:32: ... Wait...
00:40: ... WAIT IS HE USING *ALL THIS* JUST FOR A BUILD UP???
00:45: YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Absolutely love the way you handled this one Jonny, the sequential build up in each new section really reflects how Hell just ramps up more and more as you get deeper into it. Hit this one out of the park, I LOVE IT.
... So, when are we getting Last Battle? ;D If you ever do cover it I'm absolutely going to cut this and it together. In the meantime I'll use Leaf XCeed's version! ♥
Yoooooo this was unexpected! Love it!
The more I delve into your playlist the more treasures I find. AND YOU KEEP ADDING MORE.
Oh HELL YES! This theme is so good!
daaamn I can't believe
thank you !!
Was never able to beat this and live in regret forever because of it
Yo awesome! I loved Cave Story and this song
Holy CRAP You hit this one out of the park dude!
This just constantly reminds me of how hard Blood Stained Sanctuary was. I only got to attempt Ballos one out of every 7 or so attempts.
when there is a story about a cave, idk i never played the game
The original version is free.
I mean, you're not wrong with that description
Developer's official description:
Cave Story is a jumping-and-shooting action game.
Explore the caves until you reach the ending.
You can also save your game and continue from where you left off.
THIES IS INSANE
So fire!! 🔥 Last battle next??? 👀👀👀
Oh man, I've always been waiting for this. Woo!
Oh god! A Cave Story remix! I'm really glad you finally did one, even if it's not the theme I had in mind. Running Hell is still a super sick track and it's an amazing choice for a CS remix.
Typical Aeon's Devil Gundam request here, nothing out of the ordinary.
Ah this takes me back. Good times, good times...
青春の一部…
リミックスしてくれてありがとうございます😭
Man, each melody from this game produces some intense feelings of nostalgia in me.
Thank you for bringing that back
WE ARE GOING TO HELL WITH THIS ONE!!!
So many memories!!
Great cover, this and your Advance Wars.
Pacificist cover when? Because you freakin killed everything!!
Oh hells yeah! That's awesome!
Awesome!!! You are the BEST!!
Nostalgia
Great job!
Just randomly decided to listen to some Cave Story OST (obv cus it's so good) today and now I'm even more glad I did. I didn't think that was possible.
Oh gods, a Cave Story remix, just what I needed .3.
YEAH THIS IS A BANGER!!
*Laughs in 104 deaths*
yeah, still a banger lmao
