Boss Battle (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) - GaMetal Remix 

When I have beef with a tree for no reason whatsoever:

64's theme is probably the most "THIS IS KIRBY MUSIC" boss theme, I can't explain it. It always tickles my brain into Kirby mode, and I haven't even got the chance to play 64 yet.

That moment when you combine cutter & spark to get the dual-saber

Kirby: elevating boss fights to an art form. Johnny: elevating Kirby boss fight music far beyond one brief loop.

Rules of Nature..! Rules of Nature !! ...dang it, Silva. Can not unhear.

The most fun Kirby boss theme ever

This is the same game where you fight what is essentially a Metal Gear.

Kirby boss themes are always bangers! A lot of people focus on the songs dedicated to a single boss, but the standard boss themes can be just as good sometimes! Also hope you’ll do Miracle Matter’s theme from this game sometime. That song is so underrated.

This theme has always been my favorite non-final boss music from the Kirby series; it sounds very old-school Kirby and yet also features some dark and moody undertones -- fitting for a game about lost civilizations and encroaching darkness -- so it has pretty much everything you could ask out of a boss theme.

Drummer Jonny look out there's someone behind you!

CHILDHOOD ACTIVATED

This theme is possibly one of the best regular boss battle themes ever.

THE TIME HAS COME TO AN END YEAH, THIS IS WHAT NATURE PLANNED

Love Kirby 64. I remember playing Crystal Shards at a McDonalds as a kid when they still carried N64s in the play area in the early 2000s.

This NEEDS the "Rules of Nature" edit

One of my favorite Kirby themes and games 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾

that is some truly epic playing! that transition at 1:03 gave me chills. the pure energy of this remix is off the scale

He really will do _anything_ before Roar of Dedede lmao

2:20 best f*cking part

Oh MAN this song starts out so strong. It just punches you in the face with energy right off the bat. It then continues being strong for the next two minutes and thirty seconds. Absolute banger

UGH the energy of this track was carried althroughout YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH

My first Kirby game! Loved being able to combine powers and figuring out the various bosses. Definitely one of the craziest games I've ever played. Anyway, love the cover! (As an aside, thanks to a certain animator, I can't hear this theme without also hearing RULES OF NATURE!!!)

Awesome remix and another banger from Kirby 64. There’s only one more boss theme to cover from this game, surely it’s only a matter of time until we get a miracle… right?

Kirby music never disappoints. _Especially_ when GaMetal gets involved. Requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain.

Challenger Approaching: Dracula from _Castlevania: Symphony of the Night._

My favorite Kirby boss theme, always hyped when I hear it in the Brawl remix.

We getting out of green greens with this one!!

HELL YEAH, another Kirby 64 remix. Idk why, but I really like the boss theme in it. Glad to see you remixed it :)

I grew up with K64 as my first Kirby game alongside other N64 titles, so finding this one hour after upload is truly awesome I always liked the crazy energy this one had for boss battles compared to the others (I only found the new boss tunes from KSSU as comparable) so to see you turn this one into a rock fest is really satisfying

Man, I love Kirby 64's boss theme! Glad to see it remixed!

This is my favorite boss theme from any Kirby game, it just goes so hard!

MAN! This theme goes SO hard right from the get-go, and you absolutely did it justice! Would love to see your take on Miracle Matter!

YESSS!!! Been wanting a mix of this since first heard it on one your medleys

One of the best Kirby boss themes ever!

One of the hardest boss themes in all of gaming. It shreds so much metal already that this is just perfect.

I forgot how much I enjoyed this game’s boss theme lol

Saw this just as I started rendering an extended version of your Snakey Chantey cover. Been a good week for favorites.

System overload: A boss rush has appeared

Bloody amazing! Kirby 64 is one of the best and most fun games I ever played as a kid (and I still revisit it once in a while), and I'm always looking forward to the bosses. You nailed it with this cover. Love the energy!

I didn't think this boss theme could sound this epic until this video. 🔥 I found myself almost wishing Yin Yarn was referenced here since his boss theme is a remix of this.

The classic TUTUTU *TUTU* TUTUTU *TUTU*

Kirby would be proud. This is epic

Easily one of my favorite Kirby tracks.

I love how much emphasis was put into the solo parts, even in the original tracks. Those parts always stuck out to me as the bit that sent chills through me.

Dude, this is awesome! This doesn’t even feel like a random game ost you decided to pick out of the blue. You get the sense that you played this game growing up, and you enjoyed the hell out of it. Just my thoughts, but this one felt passionate!

Kirby music already lives rent-free in my head a lot of the time, and your covers definitely contribute to that. At some point I would absolutely love to hear your take on one of the Last Battle themes from SaGa Frontier, specifically Emilia or T260's.

Even though I have some gripes with Kirby 64 compared to other entries in the series (I still like the game to be clear), I will never deny that its soundtrack (including this boss theme) is pretty freaking awesome. It's my favorite classic Kirby soundtrack by a significant margin. Fantastic job on this remix (and I also appreciate Ripple Star Select being the acoustic short)!

This was an instant like for me such a great soundtrack and cover. Hopefully now, Miracle Matter will be covered soon

Kirby music always bring a smile to my face.

Hell yea! I’ve been wanting a cover of this since I heard the little snippet you did in your N64 tribute melody! I’ll definitely be buying the cover once it goes it streaming services! 🤘

Finally a perfect Kirby Boss theme

Oh man, this takes me back!

I always look forward to your Kirby covers. That bass transition into the solo was sick as hell.

One of the best Kirby boss themes I love listening to! Awesome work, Jonny!

You have never disappoint. Ever.

YES BOSS BATTLE REMIX I AM ENJOYING IT!!!!

Finally, a truly epic remix of this song

And thus all that's left. Is Miracle Matter

MAN, Of all franchises you've "Metal-ized", I think your Kirby stuff is the absolute BEST you do. Keep up the shredding!

I was watching a reaction to Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s OST today and someone mentioned that Jim Ishikawa’s compositions tend to have a dubstep feel to them, and I immediately thought of this theme from Kirby 64. I really do love his Kirby compositions, they’re so addicting to listen to!

AW HELL YEAH! This song is such a JAM even on the original, but seeing a remix from you just turned my day around! This is so good! You got the part 53 seconds into the track PERFECT, and I find for me that always makes or breaks a remix of this

Crystal Shards is still one of the Nintendo 64's best games. Excellent remix of the awesome boss track, GaMetal.

More Kirby on this channel is always a treat, and damn, this turned out amazing! The constant energy present within the song is really fun to listen to, keeps the hype going and really makes this cover feel energetic! Combine that with a great solo (That I can hear the Kirby's Adventure Boss Theme in) and you've got an incredible cover that puts a smile on my face! You nailed this one, Jonny, and I can't wait for Dracula's Castle! Anyways, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4.

This is the theme for when Kirby comes right back ya hard and fast. Awesome Remix. 🤘 Here are some other tracks I would love to see a Gametal remix of. (★=Favorite) ★ C&C Renegade Soundtrack - Stomp ◆ Super Mario World/Fortune Street - The Evil King Bowser (Boss Theme) ◆ Sonic Heroes - Final Fortress Zone ◆ Kirby Star Allies - The Final Push (Friend Star) ◆ Godzilla Unleashed - Mecha King Ghidorah's Theme (Main Menu Theme) ◆ Sonic Heroes - Team Chaotix Theme ◆ Sonic Advanced 3 - Special Stage Theme ◆ BattleTanx: Global Assault - Main Theme ◆ Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire - Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza Theme ◆ Kirby Air Ride - The Legendary Air Ride Machine

Kirby 64 stands as my favorite Kirby game to this day. Awesome music, and the creativity behind all of the different combined copy abilities was endless fun.

It's wild how it wouldn't even be that out of character for a Kirby game Boss theme to sound exactly like hard metal rock. Fantastic job as always!

Once again taking a song i'm impartial to and making it an utter banger to make me feel bad for not loving it beforehand, A banger as always Jonny! Now hands up everyone who only knows this as "Vs Masher" from Planet Robobot's Blowout Blast game-mode, I know there's going to be a few of you...

I hope this means Miracle Matter is next! It's one of my favorite songs ever.

The king of kirby remixes strikes again! Thank you for the early birthday present with this one, knocked it out of the park as usual!

This is the theme that got me into video game music, I will always love it. This cover goes hard, great job!

I NEED that Ripple Star Acoustic extended!

One of my favorites as a kid, love this game still! Nice work as always!

This goes so hard and is INCREDIBLE 🤘🤘

AMAZING REMIX, PEAK HAS ARRIVED

Miracle matter please? 🥺

RULES OF POYO!! 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

This song is burned into my memory because of the boss rush. This, Dreamland, and Dreamland 3 are honestly peak classic Kirby boss music

Kirby sound tracks have no business being this awesome ha. Good job man

改めて考えると全ボス第2形態持ちってすっごい豪華だよなカービィ64 なおラスボス

It's that time on my life when I remember my childhood was tolerable thanks to these games and music, thanks. 😁

This is simply incredible

Somebody needs to make another 30-minute loop of this awesome track, immediately!

Legendary boss music! Only fits that a legendary guitarist could perform such an immaculate cover of it! One of my favorite Kirby games.

Poyo!

I love how every boss theme goes incredibly hard for some reason in game,

Mr. Atma is in full chef mode 🤘🏽
