Plok (SNES) Boss Theme - Ultra HD Remastered!

- Edit 5-31-24: I just learned of the untimely passing of Geoff Follin. His and his brother's music will live on forever, and I wish I could thank him for all the smiles and tunes he helped put into my head over the decades. RIP, Chiptune God.
Tired of that muffled SNES sound and want to hear your favorite SNES songs in crispy clear quality? Well, purists, look away, here come the Ultra HD Remasters!
Specifically, I've rendered the songs out with no interpolation (that's what makes the SNES sound "fuzzy") and at 192KHz, added some subtle effects to ease the stereo panning, and then run it through LANDR to get that professionally mastered sound.
This is NOT faithful to original hardware and may not be as the original composers intended it to sound.
Original song by Tim and Geoff Follin, aka the chiptune gods!
Remaster by rchrdcrg.
As a thank you for this being such a huge view getter, here's a half-hearted attempt at the Beach theme for anyone who wants to listen: drive.google.com/file/d/1Z5Ca...

![Plok! Boss Theme [Metal Cover]](/img/n.gif)
Song goes from "I'm trapped in a facility with monsters" to "These monsters are trapped in a facility with ME"
underrated comment, good one
*"I am not trapped in a facility full of robots, you are all trapped in here with me!"*
"All I'm surrounded by is cowardace...
And scrap metal."
Rip and tear
The entire base is surrounded by demons and your the only human alive.
To
But your the doom slayer.
-We need a family friendly boss theme
-Violent synthwave theme, got it !
20 years before the existence of Hotline Miami, at that.
This isn't synthwave 😅

Whenever the Follin Bros make a soundtrack for a game like this, it’s like Cthulhu going to Costco to pick up milk.

Don't sleep on Plok, bro. It's a really good platformer that didn't get the credit it was due :P

Jesus Christ Tim, it's Plok, no need to turn this into Hotline Miami.
first it's spoopy, and then you get to hotline miami shit.
do you like hurting people?
@@doom5895 My dude, it was a joke.
@@doom5895 Dude was making a comparison of the Plok music here to Hotline Miami's music. Hence why OP pretty much said "Man this went to Hotline Miami music real quick". Just because HT came long after Plok, it doesn't mean that the comparison can't be made. This seems more like you didn't get the joke and you won't admit it.
@@doom5895 YOOOO YOU JUST KEEP LOLPWNING THOSE ANGRY HATERS DONT YOU BROOOO

@@yeetmcskeet1446 you really shouldn’t
This song goes from "2 spooky 4 me" to "Do you like hurting other people?"
The answer to that question is YES
You're a good man
PART TWO - QUESTIONS.
2 spooky 4 T H E M
This song has no reason to slap this hard, but it does. It really pushed the SNES' soundchip, it feels like.
@Apple So the composer really knew what he did. Damn.
Nintendo actually considered publishing Plok and Shigeru Miyamoto was at first incredulous about the soundtrack when he got to play. He thought that the console had been modified or that the cartridge used a special sound chip.
Nope, it was just a Tim Follin soundtrack.
Anyway, Nintendo ultimately declined to publish, citing that the game was too similar to something they were already working on; when the big leak happened last year an SNES prototype was discovered which has a player character with similarly disconnected limbs. It's hypothesized that it was proof of concept for a Donkey Kong platformer, but was abandoned and the team behind it created Yoshi's Island after.
@@bootblacking yeah, super donkey?
@@bootblacking wait, Tim Follin? The same guy who pulled the bangers in the Silver Surfer game for the NES? That explains
it only used 5 synth wave types.
Plokline Miami.
...I'm sorry.
Don't be, my friend. Don't be.
Do you like diddling other people?
I've been diddled again! 😂
Quick reminder that Tim Follin hates video games and still produces absolute bangers
I wonder if that explains why half the games he did music for are terrible, lol!
@@RichardCraig that probably explains why he doesnt like them!
Tim Follin did design/direct a game a few years ago.
Contradiction Spot the Liar
He hates working on games that give him any sort of creative direction*
It's the reason why he always worked on smaller games, he got to do whatever he wanted.
It all makes sense now, like every game he did that was a port had totally unique music. Super Off-Road for SNES comes to mind for sure, not a single song from the original game, but it's still amazing.
Not only was Plok's soundtrack ahead of its time in obvious technical aspects, but I feel it was pretty experimental in its usage of genres and styles; I mean, this could probably pass as a fan made 16 bit remix of an obscure modern day synthwave song in the vein of artists like Carpenter Brut or Pertubator, it's so different from much of the music in games at the time. This is also present in other tracks like the Beach theme (which I'd LOVE to hear get the same treatment), but it's most obvious here.
Maybe you'd be interested in the best parts of the New Beat genre
...speaking of th-cam.com/video/yU4oR-x8gVk/w-d-xo.html
I was reading this comment the instant it turned into Roller Mobster.
and that the name already gave an illusion to the new musical genre called drift phonk or simply phonk, which in turn if you remove the l and put the h and then the n before finishing the k there would already be that new name of the musical genre that In years to come, it would be a reality of that name thanks to a title of a game that was too advanced and also further explaining the composition of the music for this game!!!!
@treese_ I have good news then. Look up Plok - Beach (Restored) by Senn and melt away.
You give Tim Follin an NES soundchip and he becomes an all time great.
You give Tim an SNES soundchip, however... and he becomes a GOD.
Nope,thats on the genesis
This goes double for adaptations of other composers' work (see "Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends" on Super Nintendo)
Normally I prefer the SNES compression, but this song bangs so damn hard it deserves crystal clarity.
Excellent work.
I second this notion
I wasnt around when it was in its hype, but I had one growing up, but I STILL agree
i fourth this notion
I fifth this notion
I six on this notion, also I prefer restored theme not "HD"

Fun fact: Plok! Boss Theme inspired many Japanese game devs, notably Hidetaka Miyazaki mentioned in a recent interview the theme was his inspiration while creating Hotline Souls: 54, Yharnam Streets.
That's sweet
Seriously?

If "Fine, I'll do it myself" was a video game soundtrack.
This is nuts, I never expected this many views on anything ever, let alone this! Shout out to the Follin Bros for all the amazing tunes they gave us growing up, and thank you to everyone checking this out! I absolutely love the "starts as this, becomes this" meme going on in the comments! Thanks for making this my first YT video where I actually got the experience of being a TH-camr... It's been so much fun reading all these comments!
Anything Tim Follin did is basically food for your ears.
Now eat up, children.
@Apple Well aware! And I'm glad it was preserved.
Shame that it didn't get released, but we lucked out big time in that the beta of it that was found had his soundtrack intact.
Follin himself laments this - according to him it was one of the best music drivers he ever got to work with, but he only got to use it once - on an unreleased game.
I can’t eat music
But I’ll try

It’s pretty cool to hear an early 90s tune in HD quality. Glad to know I have people who agree with that.

How does a song go THIS hard? It’s absolutely amazing.
It was made by Tim follin that’s how

Looked up actual gameplay to this game and I just gotta say I was expecting it to be 100% more violent and bloody just based on this soundtrack.
Ultra kill and plok crossover
This jam went from Goosebumps to Rob Zombie real quick
uh no lol try goosebumps to hotline miami

0:30 *racks shotgun with malicious intent*
*concerned for my own life*
just fyi, the TH-cam-generated mix playlist for this has a video from Furi as the thumbnail. pretty much solidifies this song as SNES-era synthwave.
That's even more perfect
naisu
I never even played Plok. I just like this music.
Someone mentioned that when Nintendo screened the game they thought there was extra audio hardware in the cart... The Follins were that good.
This is really impressive. I know some people absolutely prefer the original SNES version, but I think it's an absolute joy to hear this music blossom to its full potential.
Epic! I love Plok boss theme now it's even better
I had never heard it before, just stumbled into it while jamming to the Beach theme, and immediately had to max it out!
@@RichardCraig Cool Plok has some very underrated music nice to see it being uploaded even in 2020!
@@RichardCraig Is it possible to do the same for the Beach theme?
I actually have, but I'm not satisfied with it. I might post it anyway, it's just that I didn't have access to individual channels, so effects like reverb and such run across the whole song, and it makes some instruments sound muddy and weird and too far from the original sound.
Imagine the spooky graveyard, the giant ghost boss appears, and as the beat drops, it rips the sheet off, and a horrifying monster is underneath.
good idea
Oh that's a great idea
God rest your soul, Geoff Follin. May your work be remembered for generations.
What I find wild is that the "Most Replayed" Function starts at 0:29, which is where the Hotline Miami-type beat comes in, and I love that
"What's that game I'm thinking of?"
"What?"
"It's a SNES name, I can't think of the name of it."
"You're going to have to narrow it down."
"Definitely a short name... had an O in the middle."
"...Well, you'd not forget a Mario game."
"Naw... had absolutely hardcore soundtrack."
"...Doom? You're not thinking of Doom on the SNES?"
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm talking metal not some cutesy-woopsy-beepy-boop music."
"...It begins with a P, doesn't it?"
"Ppp.... I remember! It's-"
"DON'T SAY IT YOU'LL SUMMON IT HERE!!!!"
"Plok!"

R.I.P. to the composer, Geoff Follin.
When i heard about the passing of Geoff Follin i didnt know what was about until i read Plok and my mind instantly knew who he was.
Man, the news are so sad, RIP to a legend.
“We need a boss theme for our silly kids game, you don’t need to take this too seriously.”
The composer:
Tim Follin is a musical genius of his era, love him. Soundtrack for ghouls & ghosts on c64 also top notch.
The transition from "ooo spooky house" to "THEY ARE RAIDING THE BASE" is insane
0:24 this part goes like "im trapped here with these monsters" to "you all trapped in here with me"
You know it's gonna be good music when Carpenter Brut shows up in the "up next" sidebar
Here to say RIP Geoff Follin. Your legacy will not be forgotten.
if i were a little kid in the 90's playing some unremarkable platformer and this started playing i think i would shit myself
Nearly did, first time I ever made it to the bobbins brothers. XD
"hey tim, we got this song we need for the bossfights for our game and-"
tim: "say no more. I got this."
I've never even heard of this game before but the music sounds great
its basically a kids platformer game on the snes
but its hard, at least for kids games standards
the bobbins brothers trio is by far the hardest boss in the game with the third bobbins brother
@Apple Yeah, it's pretty good! Would recommend. :)
This games entire soundtrack is just amazing and was way ahead of its time. I absolutely love the 8 bit distortion samples they use quietly in the background in some parts of this song
The beat drop has serious hotline miami vibes. Thanks for this upload, this game had a really amazing soundtrack
This and "Pokey means business" are the most epic boss themes from the snes
Dancing Mad too. The triumvirate of epic SNES boss music.
This is like the Donkey Kong Country restored project, but I guess just not quite as many steps as far. Still, this is super awesome dude.
I love what Sam Miller has done with restoring DKC music, I can't help listening to it!
Gotta love those crunchy sound tho
The lack of the audio compression filter makes it sound like an amiga music
This song feels so nostalgic and yet so ahead of its time.
Beginning: "Watch out for ghosts!"
Rest of the song: "Watch out for the cops"
Nice copy m8

This game has no business sounding as nuts as it do. Almost 30 years later and I still find myself humming it.
rip to a god damn legend.
This could’ve been made today and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference
I can't believe they made songs that go THIS hard in 1993.
Sounds like Amiga demoscene music. What an absolute banger.
this theme just makes me imagine a pro fighter sweeping through a bunch of goons by using every single martial arts technique ever. This is awesome!
Music plot twists are my absolute favorite. Pokey Means Business and this theme make perfect examples.

You're on your last life. There are no save files. There is no password. You lose and you need to restart the entire game.
And then this song hits.

It will not leave my recommended, so alas, I eventually caved in. I am here. I have succumb to the endless pressure of the algorithm to listen to a remastered version of a largely forgotten SNES game. And yes, it was quite nice.
Now I shall leave the video, and sure enough, I highly suspect the video will still be on my homepage. Tempting me to click it once more.

I don't know if this a remix or just a high quality of the og.
That's a hell of a sound by the way. It's not your standard SNES theme. It's a whole goddamn universe and emotion here.
Perhaps attempt reading the title?
