You know your song is good when you have 2 games with multiple remixes of it

[JarMan]

The transition between every level is flawless

I like how Blurry Flurry is a mix of Mine Menace and Hot Rocket, 'cuz they're BOTH final levels, in BOTH Returns and Tropical Freeze that have the Rocket Barrel flying horizontal and have extreme difficulty and every single level in World 6 (DK Island) are based on different worlds in Returns, Blurry Flurry is based on both World 4 The Cave and the Mine Menace level that giant bat can seen in both levels. In Mine Menace the giant bat was already a scary obstacle to be dealt with and in Blurry Flurry after coming a LONG way back to DK Island when the Snowmads took over the WHOLE island, the giant bat can be seen halfway through the level and he's COMPLETELY frozen and stuck in which that shows how much the Snowmads messed up the WHOLE place

Ever since I heard the original mashup I wanted someone to do that transition at the beginning. I was not disappointed.

[cranberryman]

I always appreciated how Reckless Ride's version of the Rocket Barrel gameplay had a 2.5D isometric section where you dodged a barrage of missiles from the penguin guys.

[luigino.]

Great improvement. I mean the first Rocket Barrel Mega Medley was awesome, but this version clearly outshines the first version. But that doesn't mean that I think the first medley is bad. You did an extremely great job on both. In fact, I fucking love both.

[MichaelTheRead]

They're all delightfully rambunctious but Tiki-Tong Terror, with that background chant, has to be my favorite.

[DoddsyBoy]

Never realised how different each of the rocket barrel tracks were! Such a good mashup!

[silvionanimations]

Dude the rocket barrel levels were SO stressful for me as a kid i would be like “dont mess up dont dis dont get killed AHHH IMMA DIEE-“

[alaininsanitypro]

And so we have it, the even BIGGER mashup of EVERY rocket barrel theme there is

[dropdmike]

something I never realized during my initial playthrough of Tropical Freeze is that all the levels on DK Island are based on Worlds from Returns. Something that definitely caught my eye, though, was the giant bat that had been such an annoyance years earlier frozen solid in the background of Blurry Flurry. I actually kinda felt bad for it despite how STUPIDLY ANNOYING it had been in Returns

[GatorGamerYT]

DUDE I LOVE IT. brings me back to the good old wii games and the transitions are perfect and i love the combining of songs too

[JuliusGrande]

I’m so glad you included Hot Rocket and Rocket Barrel 2 (Tiki Tong Terror) since the previous version didn’t have those.

[Mrn-ss]

I love how the Reckless Ride + Twilight Terror mashup is practically intact. This is certainly an upgrade in comparison to the first version tbh

[Jenkibob]

i just wanted to say the editing in this video was fantastic

[MyconidMushFungi]

This is by far my favourite mashup of the OSTs, the transisitions, but also how you make Rocket Barrel 1 merge withe Rocket Barrel 2 as if it is one big track with different instruments as the chorus of the tracks play, these are my personally favourite points 0:26 transistion, 0:47 transistion, 1:50, 2:23, 3:02, 3:44, 3:56, 4:19, 6:07, 6:35 and onwards from that point, i really, really love the Rocket Barrel themes and this alone enlightens me everytime i go back to play it again, thank you for making this dude

[monsterman]

10/10 absoutely amazing medley
you even cared enough to include the calmer versions of the song at the end of the levels! you left no stone unturned! your efforts deserve a million views!

[thequantumknightQNTM]

Blurry Flurry and Hot Rocket go amazingly well together

[TheGameAlchemist]

This popped up in my recommendations today, and hooolly crap this is such a step up from the original, despite really only being two minutes long, it's like you rebuilt it from the ground up to make an even better version.

[noxtinker]

Highlight is when dk and Mario use the barrel in the movie had me screaming with happiness in the theater
