Hey! Do you like guitar solos? What about synth solos? Well, do I have the song for you! But one question:

Are you the boss?

Or are you just a +1?

If you’re a fan of Treasure games, you’re most likely familiar with Silhouette Mirage, the side scroller with an interesting mechanic where you use different types of attacks (Silhouette or Mirage) based on which direction Shyna (the protag) is facing.

And as with Treasure games, its accompanied by a really great soundtrack. This is the games boss song, and it’s chock full of zany whammy-filled guitar leads and synth leads. I also noticed while working on this: in the original, the synth lead is panned to the right, and the guitar lead is panned to the left. Not sure if that was supposed to be a way to acknowledge the Silhouette/Mirage attack mechanic of the game, but if it wasn’t, it’s definitely a cool coincidence.
