This song always makes me sad, and almost crying for a videogame rabbit then makes me feel silly... Though the description "a videogame rabbit" probably fails him a bit. King is King, and Cave Story is Cave Story. Is awesome.
Yes. It's his theme song. it doesn't play anywhere in during the events of the game, but it is officially labled as king's theme. Running hell is Curly's theme, and Toroko's theme is Toroko's theme.
getting this song on the Cave Story DSI port was one of the few times a game has ever gotten my heart racing. i failed getting it like 4 times previously, because hell is not a good place for speed running, and i was certain i was going to fail again. i guess i can add one more thing to the list of reasons my cave story is amazing.
You know what I love? When the songsd that make up a video game's soundtrack are all heavy remixes of a main theme. Cave Story is one crowning example. Kinda a miracle, since all the songs are just different notes smashed together. Daisuke Amiya just selected the ones that sounded good and actually fit the moment.
I think those types of reoccurring melodies are called leit-motifs. Mother 3 (the sequel to Earthbound) also plays around a lot with familiar themes, and I can’t tell you how many variations of the Love Theme are present (there’s a lot).
I really want people to know more about this game, since i was 7 i liked hearing this game's soundtrack. Hearing it again in 2022 feels pretty nostalgic, 18 years really slip away, doesn't it? I actually would like to see a PS5 remastered nor added version. And if that doesn't happen, would be very surprising to see a FNF mod about this game, would be very boring but surprising.
A lot of my friends enjoy lyrical artists, the storues told in their words give powerful messages that they resonate with and talk about...but I perfer electronic, instrumental music far more. The reason is that instead of relating to a story I react to the memories I associate with the song. Oneshot songs do this a lot. The loneliness I felt during On Little Cat Feet, the FOMO I felt when I found out the main menu music had more than 1 layer after listening to it for longer than 20 seconds after replaying the game on Switch years after my first PC run. Hell the same can be said for a lot of Mareaux's music when my first year of college was stressing me out. But this one is special, for starters I learned about it in Simpleflip's stream. Only really listening to the first 30 seconds before I had to hear it without a stream in the background. So immmediatly the nostalgia of enjoying a streamer floods into my mind. But within moments my heart sunk, 0:40 is always a tipping point for me because the first time I heard it was the moment I realized this was also reffered to as "King's Theme" and almost every emotion I had playing cave story rushed back into me at once. This song had such a powerful emotional impact on me that I doubt and lyrical story could give me. Because all it does is remind me of the incredinle experience playing Cave Story for the first time truly was.
@TranceCore3 If you listen closely, in most games you can hear that the songs have a lot of reaccurring note patterns. This is very apparrent with the very old Sonic games. Like, in the Emerald Hill 2 Player theme, you can actually hear the iconic "da da da da dum, da" from the SMB theme's intro. Whether or not it's intentional in most of those games or in Cave Story is the most interesting part. It my have something to do with the composer's taste or state of mind.
There we go, it's the end. Rushed forward, got blown away. In the end, I did nothing. Everything, was in vain. The so-called leader of the village, got killed by a mad doctor who wants to end it all. No matter what I try, I'm still powerless. Just a tiny rabbit with no power at all. I'm so mad! I'm so mad! I'm so mad! Why am I so weak?! I went there to save her but ended up screwing everything up! I'm just a fool, a pathetic and sorry fool. What good am I for, except failing? This sword of mine ain't good in my own hands. It can cut, but it can't save anything in the slightest. What's the point in keeping such a weapon? It's a waste, nothing more, I shouldn't even have it in the first place. There take it instead of me, go and slay this madman, I believe that you can avenge my sister! No matter where you go, don't you dare forget that I'm here... with you. Go!
When I heard this one song on the radio, "Love me like you do" by Ellie Goulding, it sounded just like this to me. 0:02 - You're the light, you're the night, you're the color of my blood. You're the cure, you're the pain, you're the only thing I wanna touch. 0:14 - Never knew that it could mean so much, so much... 0:21 - You're the fear, I don't care, 'cause I've never been so high. Follow me, to the dark, let me take you past our satellites... 0:33 - You can see the world you brought to life, to life! 0:40 - So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do, love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do, touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do... 0:57 - What are you waiting for? 1:00 - Fading in, fading out, on the edge of paradise. Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find, only you can set my heart on fire, on fire! 1:18 - Yeah, I'll let you set the pace, 'cause I'm not thinkin' straight, my head's spinnin' around I can't see clear no more... 1:35 - What are you waiting for?
@SuperSpike64 No problem. For some reason, WMM wouldn't convert the video into an uploadable file so I kept telling people to just subscribe and wait for it. It was a struggle but it's here! ^_^
Whenever you complete one of the challenges (except for Wind Fortress and Machine Gun challenge I think) or after you beat Blood Stained Sanctuary in 3:00-4:00 minutes as the main theme, while Quote is also replaced by King in the menu In case you have a 4:00-5:00 mark, Toroko's Theme will play as the main theme I recommend not surpassing those marks though, 2:00-3:00/5:00-6:00 don't give much (Safety/Running hell and Sue/Curly, not much of a reward as both of them are seen a few times in the game and the songs can be listened without speedrunning the hardest level of the game)
@Infernape12341 If I have time and if they aren't already extended somewhere on YT then sure. I'm in school doing pre-calc and it's taking up most of my time. :(
This song plays on the title screen when you beat hell under 4 minutes, at least on the freeware version. King's sprite replaces Quote's. It's safe to assume White is King's theme if Toroko's version of the title screen plays "Toroko's Theme"
None of that means anything when you use such a common note pattern. using your logic is like saying a lot of battle themes are remixes of the Final Fantasy battle theme, because they all use similar bass lines, which happen to be really common bass lines.
I love how everyone's trying to get the secret ending on CS+, the version that didn't feature it because the guy that fixed it up didn't know Pixel put it in so there was no way of getting it because it didn't exist. Go try it on the ORIGINAL version of CS and see if you can get it. There's a lot of differences between CS+ and the original.
Uh.... Cave Story's soundtrack isn't comprised of "heavily" remixed version of the main theme. Saying something like that would probably offend Pixel, since all of the music make it very apparent that they're all different ( in terms of compositions). The only game I can think of that has a sound track like the one you described, is super mario world.
My White Lyrics: You’ve never seen the light See, The beginning was bright. But then. He came The future was out of sight. The leader now dead I had his job to carry on But then his sister was gone..

One by one The village might be undone.. (Don’t give up hope..) done.. You and I both allies. From the moment she died. You took my blade, Which had me trapped inside. Sword in hand, We defeated that madman. (And saved everyone-) But it wasn’t done.. There was another one we were forced to defeat. After the last battle We were barely able to flee Now it’s just the four of us, Including my good comrade.. Quote.. You.

When I heard this one song on the radio, "Love me like you do" by Ellie Goulding, it sounded just like this to me.

In case you have a 4:00-5:00 mark, Toroko's Theme will play as the main theme

I listened to this while I vacuumed
That sucks.
People say.. 7 years later he still vacumms.
@DDofCourage It was an unlockable on the title screen for beating Hell in under 4 minutes after finding the timer in the Outer Wall.
i was at balcony on my tablet i was using the nx engine on retroarch and my tablet reset completly some odd reason i was MAD
I think that's called "running out of battery"
This music felt so awesome when I finally beat the Wii's boss rush mode in under 8 minutes.
The brief period I speedrunned hell. I could never reach this song. Sucks.
@LotDW2007 Oh thats cool. forgot about that song having no loop. >.> Could you maybe extend the Wii version songs?

But then.

The future was out of sight.
The leader now dead I had his job to carry on
But then his sister was gone..
I took the chance to stop what could’ve been done,
But I never could have won...
The pain, the misery, and all the sorrow.
Two leaders now dead I wondered where this would go.
One by one
The village might be undone..
(Don’t give up hope..)
done..
You and I both allies.
From the moment she died.
You took my blade,
Which had me trapped inside.
Sword in hand,
We defeated that madman.
(And saved everyone-)
But it wasn’t done..
There was another one we were forced to defeat.
After the last battle
We were barely able to flee
Now it’s just the four of us,
Including my good comrade..
Quote..
