First time you fight this boss, you hear the opening and you think its going to be just like all the other bosses, then you hear the opening change as this song comes in and you realize that you are in for one hell of a fight...
This actually happened to me! I have a playlist of all Kirby Boss themes, and I thought I had looped the 64 boss theme, but I hadn't! So when this song came on, the intro actually made me think it was still the normal boss theme! Lol!!
Realizing that Billy Mays has been dead for over 12 years just gave me whiplash thanks to your comment. I'm not even old but that makes me feel like it..
This is the pinnacle of boss music. I don't care how amazing or memorable other boss music sound. There is no way you won't get chills the second you hear that intro... Or at the very least, you know *shit is going down.*
+Rartrin I personally think this is better than the Zero two theme. Which is strange because I usually prefer the slow and dramatic second themes of kirby. But this is just too awesome.
Considering they brought back Galacta Knight and Dark Meta Knight and gave them awesomely remixed versions of their themes, I feel like Miracle Matter should come back as the hidden boss in the next Kirby game....whenever that is.
Man this boss was unfair af. Immune all the times, except when he attacks, than he is vulnerable to only one elements. Once you get used to all of his abilities it's more than doable, but i just think it defeats the main philosophy behind kirby: Choose any ability you like and beat asses with it.
This song actually sounds sort of like an "upside-down" version of the normal boss theme, if you can imagine it. Take the sheet music, flip it upside down, and play the notes as if they were right-side-up.
@@angelofdeath275 It's from an interview he gave on Keyboard Magazine in 2017. Basically he composed Ripple Star and 02's theme thinking they'd be the two final stages, then the devs told him "oh but there's another boss in-between". WiKirby has the interview scanned and translated; I can't link it but try searching for "2017 Keyboard Magazine Interview with Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando"
I think 02 and Miracle Matter are equally difficult. Miracle Matter was hard because he changed forms quickly, so you had a smaller frame of time to hit him. 02 was hard because it was the first and only time you used the shooter perspective. So you have to learn and get used to the controls, while trying to kill and dodge 02's attacks. Not to mention the handling is bad.
It helps that Ishikawa leans on the techno style, which for the Nintendo 64, works excellently (meanwhile many other N64 songs feel quite limited by the soundchip).
as a kid this music always made me think of Miss Trunchbull from Matilda. especially the scene where she is scared ff from the house 1:10 was always vary similar sounding.
@@vibelesssssss dang i wish i could say i could but i still haven't, I haven't taken my n64 out in so long tell you what though next time I replay it i'll try to remember to respond to this thread if i beat it
genuinely wish there was more boss music like this, while i dig dramatic orchestral arrangements whatnot, theres something about a extremely intense and extreme song like this that utilizes these record scratches and synths, im surprised theres no amen break in here too! i feel like the only other song that has a similar energy is your best nightmare from the undertale soundtrack, but perhaps thats because i havent been looking in the right spots, easily one of my favorite boss songs of all time
You know what was really fun in this game? Trying to beat the whole thing with only one or two powers. I tried to get as far as I could with only ice skates. Good times.
@@GingerKing243those are gen 3 horns, but overall this definitely feels more like a gen 5 composition tbh. compare this to the bw2 legendary theme for instance

Oh, and the violin remix would be for a fight with a heavily-corrupted Gooey. The violins would represent Kirby's sorrow over being forced to fight and possibly kill one of his best friends.
To this day, I still love this fight. So dang tough, and with such a killer theme. One of my favorite final bosses, ever. I know Zero-2 is his real final form, but it's just so pathetic as a fight. THIS is the real battle x.x
People say a great song needs a memorable melody. Well, I say that this is an excellent song and it doesn't even have much of a front-and-center melody! Yet it has the perfect vibe.
in 2013 I was a literal slobbering 6 y/o trying to beat this guy for months now I'm a 17 year old realizing how absolutley tuff this beat is I love how absolutley hectic this song is this DEFINENTLY sets the scene
It was definitely tough because it's the only boss in the entire game where you can't just rely on one ability to win and that's what made the fight so awesome
One of the bosses where you have to fight it fair and square. No spamming broken abilities to deal massive damage and has a barrier that protects from other copy abilities expect for spit and out or uses it's copy on its own
I really don't know how many times I freaking lost against him .... I think even Math it self cannot reach my limit😭😭😭😭😭 But OMG.. HUGE SHOUT-OUT TO NINTENDO FOR MAKING SO MANY DAMN BOSSES☠️☠️☠️
I like how the last 3 bosses were actually somewhat difficult, either that or I suck 😭😭 the robot guy took me like 3 or 4 attempts, this guy like 8 and zero two like 5
I took Burn+Cutter into this with me. Then I got one leftover from an attack, mixed it with another, took out another 2 forms with that ability, repeat. Took longer, but it worked.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards in my opinion was able to capture the style they used in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Maybe that's why I loved this game as much as Kirby's Dream Land 3. :3
@09WProductions No, he's not the final boss - but if you didn't collect all of the crystal shards, he pretty much is. The game hints afterwards that you didn't see all of the story, but it still reaches an end afterwards. It's only once you get all the shards that you get to fight O2, afterall.
No one: Not a soul on this god forsaken planet: Some Japanese man buzzed the fuck off meth creating the most terrifying creature for a kids game with no other purpose then to traumatize them
I miss when Kirby music was constantly weird and crazy. They'd never put a song like this in a modern Kirby game, even if the games themselves get weird and crazy. Closest thing is probably the Highness battle from Star Allies.
The worst thing about it is we can't blame anyone else but ourselves of our own doom. I mean we could've just not bought it but god dammit his advertisement sounded so convincing.
First time you fight this boss, you hear the opening and you think its going to be just like all the other bosses, then you hear the opening change as this song comes in and you realize that you are in for one hell of a fight...
Probably one of the coolest fights because it uses all of the combined copy abilities’ powers against you
This actually happened to me! I have a playlist of all Kirby Boss themes, and I thought I had looped the 64 boss theme, but I hadn't! So when this song came on, the intro actually made me think it was still the normal boss theme! Lol!!

Man was I a dumb kid. I never knew about the true final boss nor how to get the shards I missed. This was all I remembered lol
Same. I never took the shards seriously; I thought they were just busy work and that the fake ending was sequel baiting!

XxSUPASPAZxX I mean he was more fun than 02...
They should make KPR DLC that makes Miracle an optional boss that you fight with the Robobot Armor. That way Miracle Matter's gimmick would remain.

My favorite part of the song without a doubt
0:27 through 0:38 hits so good.
Holy crap this song is epic. It seriously sounds as if Miracle Matter wants Kirby to die a fast and complete death.
This is the best theme in Kirby 64, hands down. Once I got Sound Test, I listened to this for a good while. Awesome theme.

They used this for the EX Ability Challenge in the Dream Collection!! I was smiling when I heard it in something OUTSIDE Kirby 64!!

It helps that Ishikawa leans on the techno style, which for the Nintendo 64, works excellently (meanwhile many other N64 songs feel quite limited by the soundchip).
Fun Fact: This theme is a mix between Meta Knight's Fight theme from Super Star and Boss theme from this game.
This theme also plays in that Return to Dreamland mini boss rush in Kirby's Dream Collection. It goes well with the difficulty.
the beginning of this song gives me goosebumps
adrenaline fueled Kirby
Kirby 64 music hits for real.
Let's be real here, they had no business having a song this hard in the game to begin with but I love it.
0:53 just gonna say this, but i really like the background drum at this part
Hey,Mr.Delirium.Your alive!
I love how unsettling and terrifying it sounds, you can almost feel dark matter's presence

You should listen to Welcome your new Overlord from Return to Dreamland if you haven't already. I think it's got a similar intensity to this one
jesus christ imagine this song with amen breaks
Terraria's Boss 1 & Boss 2 and ULTRAKILL's Versus match this energy pretty well if you're still looking

That sounds fun. Don't think its possible to beat miracle matter or get all shards like that, but you may be able to get close.
This theme fits into a pokemon game, im not joking, its so pokemon like, in my opinion.

This has strong Metroid Prime vibes. Metroid Prime 2, to be specific. And this was a full four years before that!

RULES ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN
They made this game hit so hard. The music, story and mechanics were so ahead of their time!
