I have this game for the SNES and my brothers and I still play the hell out of it. And every time I play it I find myself humming the music long after I play. I'm not sure how many people actually remember this game or have played enough to remember the music, but for a limited 16bit cartridge, this game pushed out some really memorable tunes and beats that I would compare to Donkey Kong Country's soundtrack.
Music aside, the game is also really fun. Nothing too groundbreaking or industry changing, but still addictive and amusing as much as any other Nintendo offshoot game. Not to mention, the patented "BRawwahaaa" sound that Gargantuan Blaarg made was fucking boss.
BTW, playing Bowser on the hard difficulty was a god damn bitch in this game.
Anyway, if you're interested, you can find the music here, or if you want better quality with a slight change in style, check here.
Oh wow, I honestly don't remember Bowser's stage being that ridiculously difficult. Then again, I haven't played that game in ages and I probably beat him through luck. I love the face he makes when you beat him.
As for the music, really catchy stuff for its time. Right now? ...I still love it.
I agree strongly with this topic, and the Blargg stage vote. It actually pressured me to do well because I didn't like the "panic" version of the song. Yet oddly enough, the Bumpty stage has the opposite effect. =P
Another game to throw here (since we may as well) is Super Castlevania 4. I don't know what it is about that game. I didn't really like it so strongly, but the music was another matter altogether, and it was one of the first SNES titles released! The music during the stage with the rotating room is probably one of my series favorites.
@Scrixx: Name attached to Panel de Pon so it would actually sell. Name, and Yoshi's Island instead of fairy girls. =P
Your blog inspired me to go through it just now on hard. Lost to Kamek twice, but beat everyone else on my first try, so not too bad for not having played it in forever. I'll have to try it on very hard or extreme or whatever now.

I still walk around the house humming that tune. And I find my wife humming the victory music from FF all the time.
Strange how these inane little ditties get stuck in your head.
YES
Blarrg's stage theme is one of my favorite songs to ever be in a videogame. Poochy and Raphael Raven's stages are great as well.
What's the biggest shame about it though is that it is the only work the sound composer ever did on a game.
Your header makes everything better.
Blehman is right.
@ Phantom:
its actually pretty creepy and I find it odd that new games don't have as much of an effect with gaming music anymore.
@ Ashely:
its like Mitsuda. he should do more games...but unfortunately the only good ones were Xenogears and Chrono Trigger
@Blehman:
yea, it's pretty sweet.
How the FUCK IS THAT TETRIS?
You just linked me to an awesome website.
Thank you so much. Now I can hear Sagat's stage all day.
Oh my freaking gosh... The Water Stage always makes me just want to go take a nap...

Also, three-legged baby Yoshi, anyone?

I love Tetris Attack, easily one of my favorite games of all time.
