Final Boss Theme 1 - Face Raiders 

this boss was so freaking hard, i did manage to beat it somehow.

0:00: My Sleep Paralysis demon rising from the the floor at 3am

They didn't have to go this hard for a funny 3ds game 😭

The Red Alert blares. And suddenly luminating into your screen was the light reflecting off the hexagonal panels of the Boss’s shell from the vortex. It approaches you and halts in front of your screen. Behind it, your damaged surroundings. In shock that this is it, you helplessly begin popping your tennis balls at it, but to no avail! Its mechanical parts begin shifting, and the crystals emerge from its shell. You then wonder what’s going on. But while you wonder, it is already too late. By the time the cannon’s rise from the shell pointed towards the crystals, and you possibly realize what’s about to happen, it’s already happened. Hummmm Bling Bling *ZAP!* The first beam refracts from the crystals and hits you! You begin shooting your ammo again, still to no avail. But then it happens. One of the balls spins around the crystals back towards your opponent. It fires the second laser, but this time it bounces back into itself, damaging its shell. The crystal flips back outwards, putting you at risk once more. You frantically begin aiming for the crystals again. The beam is charging up. It fires! It goes in the opposite direction of what you’ve expected! *ZAP!!* You see your health meter jump downwards. No butterflies in sight. The alarm on the meter sounds and it flashes red. *ZAP!!* You were too busy looking at the meter to notice the next attack! It was getting lower. No… you had made it this far. Past the tutorial, Stage 1, Stage 2… and 3 as well. But now, you watch as your surroundings are invaded? You will not have this. You won’t go down without a fight! The final beam powers up; red sparks flashing from the cannon. You carefully aim your target. One crystal. Then the one above and below it. Bling Bling *BAM!* Another damage to the Boss’s shell. You fire so hard, you almost break the buttons on the 3DS. But this wasn’t over yet. One more laser would determine your life. This was everything you’d trained for. Snapping photos of your sibling’s face, maybe even random surfaces and textures to shoot at. Screw school! This is the real meaning of success in life! You shoot one crystal. The second… … you were too slow. The laser burns through your screen. *CRACK!!* The screen goes red and dark, your meter empty. The Boss laughing. Game Over! But then you exit to the home screen, scroll all the way down to the right… SURPRISE!!! DINOSAUR OFFICE!!! RAWR!!!!

POV: it’s 2014, you’re a child and this was a scary experience to you, you treasured this moment even when you failed to defeat the first phase of this boss. Your 3DS is low on battery and it’s nightime. Dinner is ready and you refuse to go while you’re playing. You’ve failed and have gotten sweaty hands. You refuse to play face raiders for the rest of the day, charge your 3DS for tomorrow, and go down for dinner

The alarm blaring is what makes this theme absolutely amazing

What I find fascinating is the choice of musical style the chose here. It’s very baroque and fugue-like, especially in the beginning with the electric organ, maintaining the same tonality as it _smoothly_ transitions to a the familiar clavinet and Synth Instrument group that Face Raiders is known for. Gives the same feeling as Ultimate Koopa from Super Mario 64.

This is truly one of the boss themes of all time oh yea forgor to say this goes hard holycrap

For a goofy 3ds game about battling flying faces, this is a really intense soundtrack

Pov. Someone gets the nice teacher angry

This banger was forever embedded into my brain.

You know, this sounds similar to drawcia sorceress from Kirby's canvas curse... Specifically that beginning part

I always loved those opening bits. It was spine chilling and a sense of showdown upon you. I HATED that boss! But I never did stop trying. I never said it wasn't fun to hate it.

Unpopular opinion: the crystal part was really fun

I had a massive tantrum as a kid because I couldn't beat this boss, finally dusted off my 3ds and beat it to settle things down. I remembered it much tougher tbh. The theme is still a banger though

One of the most epic of boss fights in video game history

この旋律が頭から離れない

I hate how they went this hard,but turned into a memory,I miss it.

This is so nostalgic

You got past the bombardment of faces, to find the same thing that completely destroyed your surroundings. You figure out to shoot the crystals and 1 by 1 the cannons blow up until one remains. You take a quick look at your health meter, about half health. But this one cannon can change everything. You shoot all the crystals, barely keeping ahead of the laser and you’ve almost done it!! Just spam at the face until it blows up! *boom* you did it- wait what’s that...

That opening always manages to send a chill down my spine

Didnt anybody know how smooth was that part? 0:19

Imagine a face raiders movie and as the final boss it starts at 0.75 but slowly goes to normal speed. That would be incredible.

I felt a chill down my spine hearing this it made my eyes water! What?!

I remember making the final boss my glass of juice. Good times.

Fun fact: this is likely a remix of Drawcia’s theme from Kirby Canvas Curse.

The intro is cool but the whole song? SO COOL AND GALACTIC!!!

this sounds like it would play in miitopia

This has no business going this hard

The drones in the music really helps the feeling of "You're screwed" sink in.

This theme was one of a childhood fear, with the sirens, and now it gives me a reminder of what that felt like as a child

One day I'll beat this...

Apparently the guy who composed the Face Raiders OST also did the Mother 3 OST?!

BEST Boss theme ever

懐かしき神曲。

It took 3 fucking years to beat this boss 3 FUCKING YEARS!

Anybody else spent hours on this stage trying to complete it or is that just me

It was a disco ball the entire time. I lost to a DISCO BALL countless times.

めっちゃ強かったよなこいつ

*You see the red alarm *The boss music starts playing.... *You see a weird hexagonal structure *You actually know what to do bc you saw a tutorial on RU-vid *You finally killed the boss! *Level completed* *Wait why are you still there? *What's that thing under me? Use [SHOOT] *WHAT THE HECK IS THIS

This brings back so many childhood memories

remembered this game exists! ive beaten everything and gotten a ton of score on the bonus stage but i havent beaten the one where you do every stage in one go with the healthbar saving, i also remember the bosses being a bit harder and especially the final one!

SO GOOD, GOLDEN, HEART-RENDING AND HAUNTING! 😁😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎😍😍😍😍😍😭😭😭😭😭😳😳😳😳😳😱😱😱😱😱😵😵😵😵😵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🌇🌇🌇🌇🌇🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

just imagine you get home after you receive the grades and start listening this

I wanted to destroy my 3DS when I played against the crystal parts. Everything after that was so easy 🤠

意外と知られてない神曲

when this sound plays you know you're dying

The first time I heard this theme struck a new kind of fear into me and I don't know why

Underrated. That’s all I’m gonna say.

This sound traumatized me as a child

Damn this theme hits different

Fun factrt: you could slightly control the laser path by only shooting one path to the other laser cutters instead of just spamming each crystal.

The moment i heard this theme in 2012, made me think: oh no, i am not so ready for this...

This game had insane music

The dog when you open a bag at 3 am:

I ended up quitting this game cuz I couldn't beat this boss but now looking back it was easy, I think the challenge stemmed from the lack of instruction or understanding

Final stage kind of scared me when I was young

I could literally NEVER defeat this boss. In my entire time of playing this game, i hit this boss ONCE.

Drawcia? Is that you? Did you get reincarnated into this boss?

this is my favorite song in the game

scared the shit out of me as a kid...still does...

Honestly, this is the only final boss in any of the nostalgic games I've played on the 3ds that I couldn't for the lfie of me defeat. I still don't understand how to beat it, and I am pretty good at this game.

I remember not being able to beat the boss when I was younger. 😢

I was playing this on my 3ds and paused it when i got to this point to just listen to the music 😂😂

“They’ve seen how far how many they’ve slain you will gladly tear their limbs apart all before they start to kill again”

If they make a face raiders movie I’m going there in a blast

The boss is definetely hard...

i remember this boss so god dam well this shii was hard

nintendo ceo rising from under my bed to punish me for modding my 3ds

I remember I couldn’t beat the first phase, and when i finally did, i was so happy as i thought it was the end. While i wasn’t looking, phase 2 killed me.

They really got in the kitchen and pumped out this 5 star dish just cuz they could

This is a musical masterpiece, sounds so Bach-like

Thanks to a comment, I realize that this theme is Drawcia's..., damn, now I can't stop listening to that part, although I'm not complaining, on the contrary, now I enjoy it and appreciate it much more

⚽

When you make a joke about your teacher and she's right behind you

This was the only part of the game child me could never get past... I bet I could even get past the second phase, but I just could never learn how to reflect the lasers back... I would hit one crystal, but never have the time to hit the next.

insane memories

this theme reminds me of drawcia's theme and i realized hal lab sound team composed this one...

When the The face raiders final boss

This game was Miitopia before Miitopia. Defeating the evil space lord Barack Obama after we saved Trump, Joe Biden, and Morgan Freeman

Behold: The EVIL Soccer/Football face!

ptsd

Always thought this sounded like the Wizards and Warriors theme

I dont know how many Time i rage on This final boss and i beat it

this boss made me quit playing this game for a long time. but i was able to defeat it

Like 2 years ago I couldn’t beat this boss. Then today I found my 3ds and played face raiders again and beat the boss first try. How I do that? 0.0

I remember when I was little I had trouble beating the final boss’s 1st phase. One day I couldn’t take it anymore so I asked my dad if he can beat the boss for me lol

Nostalgia

Bach hitting hard on a 3ds b game

This was everyone's nemisis when we wer little

I finally beat the final boss today !

Almost forgot to listen to this today

0:00 My alarm getting ready to sound at101%

the terror when you saw the afro.

For some reason, instead of thinking of the final boss design, I think of Meridia's beacon

Ok but 0:19 bouta make me bust a move

This was the song I picked for level 2 of Galacton's Madness. (A playlist designed to let your anger out at certain levels and keep the people around you aware of how angry you are.) ru-vid.com/group/PLQORk79NsNvZRMq-1mjUUc4ogTDq7jIkS&feature=shared

That disco ass soccer ball kicked my ass for years

Nah dude that shit scared me when I fought him-

Remember that this song plays for a battle against a giant flying disco ball
