Track number: 03/05
Track name: Hover Park
Album name: Slime Jammers - The Lost Tracks
Originally composed for the project "Slime Jammers" as part of the GBJam 9.
Unfortunately, a minimum playable prototype wasn't finished in time so it was never submitted for the game jam but I decided that I'd release the tracks anyway so things don't go to waste!
Slime Jammers was going to be a racing game made in Unity in a similar vein to that of the "Top Ride" mode in Kirby Air Ride for the Nintendo GameCube.
First time that I've tried to make music for a racing/party game but I thought it turned out well, if not a bit eclectic and "out there" - what I was going for though!
Composed with love using FamiTracker and utilising the FDS expansion chip for that beefy bass.
Thanks to the rest of the team for giving things a go anyway!

There is just something about the stock sounds in LMMS, mainly the instruments created with ZynAddSubFX, that is so incredibly satisfying when it comes to attempting to match that from the Nintendo Gamecube era. Maybe the developers are just secret fans of the console. When it comes to translating the strings and choir sections, I did surprisingly well when attempting to balance and mix what I had to offer.
It was much of the same as when I initially covered the Hyrule Temple track from Super Smash Bros. Melee previously. Those piano synths alongside the choir and strings section breakdown were particularly pleasing on the ear.
Fighting in Onett was always fun and a good memory of mine. Playing as Kirby, the cars were always a bit of a pain but getting to use that down-B a lot more than made up for it. I think the only other characters that really suited my playstyle were Captain Falcon and Ganondorf in the end. It was handy that Kirby was my main as my friends both preferred playing Link and Samus respectively anyway so there were never any mirror matches!
Hope you enjoy this one. Some of the piano chords were tough but I think that I ended up putting my own little spin on things where I could. Let me know what you think in the comments below as always!
All the best.
