Download (End card acoustic short: Billy Hatcher Boss Battle)
I seem to be on a bit of a Sega kick lately… here’s another one from the realm of the obscure, the Boss Battle theme from Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, an old Gamecube game developed by the Sonic Team. This song is officially titled Bang! Bang! Big Hornes Explosion, but for the sake of simplicity we’re just gonna call it the Boss Battle theme for now.
This is a light-hearted and jazzy tune, so I made sure to include lots of brass/sax section. I replaced what was formerly a Sax solo with guitar solos because… well I mean, it’s me!
The original tune is SUPER long for a game song, clocking in at over 5 minutes. I shortened it slightly by cutting the length of the first solo in half. I couldn’t really find any other spot that I could deem cut-worthy, so the remix is still over 5 minutes total. Unless you’re a super, ultra, die-hard fan of the original Bang! Bang! Big Hornes Explosion, like to the level where you have it set as your morning alarm clock, you won’t notice the shortening change.
This song is fun. Give it a chance. 🙂
