Let’s dive into this iconic theme for our boy RIDLEY WHOS IN SMASH ULTIMATE WHATT!? I was so stoked to find out Ridley was finally included in Smash as I legitimately never thought that would actually happen haha. Upon realizing it, I immediately was inspired to take on this amazing theme that I’ve loved since first playing Super Metroid many years ago. As some of you may know, there’s actually another version of this theme on my channel that was arranged by my good friend Ro Panuganti and I was jamming alongside him on it! The video is a few years old so it’s wayy down there in my videos list. But this version of the theme is the first time I’ve personally attempted an arrangement of the theme and I’m stoked that both of our versions ended up sounding totally unique from eachother. That’s one of my favorite things about the VGM community is how we can all turn a theme into our own style. I wanted to just come out the gate thrashing as hard as I could and never really letting up haha. It needed to feel like the ultimate metal boss fight theme for our boy Ridley! One of my favorite parts about this theme is how the main motif has so many layers of notes ontop of it. It’s harmonized in 5ths but it also has a 4th on top as well so every note is like Root to 4th to 5th giving it this super video-gamey sound. I take so much influence from small details like that in my own music and it’s just such a cool flavor to a basic idea such as that main motif. Overall I had such a blast arranging this iconic theme and one of my favorite boss fight themes of all time.
