Episode 2-6: This Isn't Even My Final Form!

What this episode covers

We've all been there. That one rogue you keep fighting just won't stop coming back, or that boss you think you've finally beaten still has one more form you have to destroy. It's annoying. Unless it's amazing. What's also amazing is when composers go above and beyond and compose a theme for each boss's fight or phase. This episode - an idea of Shootkapow's, chosen by YOU, the listeners - is a celebration of these themes. As always, we'd love to hear from you! @Shootkapow on Twitter, via e-mail at [email protected], on anchor.fm/vgmvgm, on patron.com/vgmvgm, or by searching the name of our show on YouTube and leaving us a comment! Thanks as always to our lovely patrons: The Last Rican, Kung Fu Carlito, Skeletroy, and The Messenger! 2:50 - Hollow Knight - Dung Defender - Christopher Larkin - Team Cherry, Modern Platforms, 2017 11:38 - Hollow Knight (Grim Troupe DLC) - Grimm & Nightmare King - Christopher Larkin - Team Cherry, Modern Platforms, 2017 20:16 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project - Shredder Battle & Super Shredder Battle - Yuichi Sakakura, Tomoya Tomita, Kozo Nakamura - Konami, NES, 1991 26:01 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Calamity Ganon Phase 1 & Dark Beast Ganon Battle - Calamity Ganon Battle by Yasuaki Iwata, Dark Beast Ganon by Manaka Kataoka w/Koji Kondo, Sound Direction by Hajime Wakai - Nintendo, Wii-U/Switch, 2017 38:42 - Super Mario RPG - Fight Against Smithy & Fight Against Smithy, Who Likes Transforming - Yoko Shimomura - Square/Nintendo, SNES, 1996 52:52 - Henry Stickmin Collection - The Conclusive Battle & Bizarre Funk - Puffballs United & Tommy Robin (aka Ockeroid) - Intersloth, Steam, 2020 1:01:11 - Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes - Theme of Onslaught I & II - Masato Kouda & Yuko Takehara - Capcom, Arcade/PS3/Dreamcast/360, 1998 1:04:57 - Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Bowser, Almighty Koopa King & Final Bowser Battle - Bowser, Almighty Koopa King by Mahito Yokota, Final Bowser Battle by Ryo Nagamatsu - Nintendo, Wii, 2010 1:12:43 - Freedom Planet - Final Boss Phase 1 & 2 - Leila "Woofle" Wilson, Stephen DiDuro (game's developer), Shane "Blue Warrior" Ellis - GalaxyTrail/Marvelous/XSeed, Computers/Wii-U/PS4/Switch, 2014 1:19:42 - Pokemon Sword & Shield - Battle!
