'Count Groxia's Boss Theme' from Gwimbly's Game - Smiling Friends

I wrote this complete Boss Theme for the #Gwimbly game footage in the new episode of #SmilingFriends - my love letter to the musical stylings of Grant Kirkhope in the era of the Nintendo 64.

I'm almost convinced that an actual game is going to be made

[Kirby]

I love how Count Groxia’s theme is just an epic version of Groxia’s lair. Really makes this boss fight feel like a true final battle.

[eldavid]

I really liked the smash bros rearrangement but the original will always hold a special place in my heart

[MissUmbra]

If WBD weren’t being a bunch of bitches and delisted a lot of Adult Swim games, they probably would have commissioned a tie-in Gwimbly game to promote Smiling Friends

It’s incredible just how much this SOUNDS like Grant Kirkhope’s style. Superb job dude, just simply great stuff.

I remember I was so close to beating this game, until a crazed mass murderer came into my room, took the controller out of my hands and beat me in the head with it, broke my controller and used the shards to shave my head and skin my pets. The police later identified him as a Mr. Joshua Tomar. I get chills hearing this theme because it reminds me of the crazed look in his eye.

The Gwimbly games were no joke, it’s amazing how they still hold up today even with their difficulty

[kassfoss]

Crash's style,
Spyro's aesthetic,
& Rare's music.
You get Gwimbly.

you went hard on this just for it to barely be background noise for 20 seconds

I remember as a kid I always had to have my dad help me with this part. I didn't understand that Groxia is invulnerable to your Gwimbly Gun and can only be hurt by using Mr Milipede to jump on his head. As an adult now, it's a cakewalk. But for a kid it's a pretty challenging boss. Hopefully the remake, Gwimbly Re-Corned, coming out in 2025 with all 3 gwimbly games included will still keep the original's charm

I heard rumors that Gwimbly was going to appear in a 2nd Plok game, but its been over a decade since i heard the rumor...

[jnewmanguy]

Always loved Groxias tragic back story. He just wanted to ban creamed corn bc hos wife got killed when a can of the stuff cracked her head open

[blackkuro]

0:44 ~ 0:53 I get strong Yoko Shimomura vibes from this section. Incredible stuff

[Rubberman]

It is INCREDIBLE how evocative this music is of Grant Kirkhope's work, I'm surprised Grant himself didn't compose it!

[nirvanabutnomoreideas]

Easily one of the toughest bossfights of the era, and the music fits the mood wirh Count Groxia's constant barrage of attacks. This had me stumped as a kid for the longest time I never could hold onto my creamed corn during the 2nd phase

[BBWahoo]

He looks like if they backported the Nuts & Bolts redesigns to an N64 graphical style.
Huh, I wonder if that was intentional.

[jarondratman]

If you’d told me this was a song from Banjo Tooie I probably would’ve just believed you

[weelolol]

the 10000 creamed corns collected to unlock the final boss was absurd, but it was all worth it to hear this banger

[SneedBass]

This takes me back to Gwimbly 3: Gwimbly's Revenge. I used to beat count Groxia's ass using the iconic Gwimbly gun.
