The Battle of Lil' Slugger (Super Meat Boy) - GaMetal Remix 

I think at some point, we all “saw” this one coming

The OG "It's just the first basic boss theme, don't get too excited" The Composer:

All of this for a boss that can be finished in 20-25 seconds normally, no speedrunning.

Oh, the floodgates are open now. There are ton of Super Meat Boy tracks that are practically begging for a metal remix. I bet Johnny's gonna start seeing more requests for covers from this game.

Danny Baranowski, you goddamn legend. 🔥🔥🔥

You could take every single one of the infernal saws in that game and they still wouldn't shred as hard as you, absolutely fantastic stuff as always!

I'm glad to see you tapping into the goodness that is Baranowsky songs. I'd love to see Crypt of the Necrodancer!

This just goes to show that the world needs more Danny B metal covers

Man, even covering the full extended version of the track, good stuff!

What an headbanging theme for a little character like that, which makes this even more epic

Even though this game came out in 2010, I didn’t play it until 2012, and it completely blew me away with how incredibly well-crafted its simplistic yet challenging game design was! And the music, my gosh, Danny Baranowsky’s original compositions for the game rock so hard, even the first boss theme goes so freaking hard! This cover flashed me back to those days of playing Super Meat Boy and loving it then as much as I do now! Way to go, Jonny!

This was long overdue, one of my favorite video game music tracks of all time, I especially love the Baroque-sounding section at 0:48-1:06! Freaking awesome cover, dude!

cant tell you how long ive waited for a cover of the extended version, fantastic work

I didn't knew I needed to see this music being covered by GaMetal before seeing this thumbnail. It just make so much sense, even though it took a lot of time to happen

fun fact I didn't know which button on my controller was the run button until near the end of my time with this boss LOL, was able to beat it pretty easily afterwards sick as hell remix as always, absolutely love the shredding on this!

With the recent announcement of Emerl is Shadow Generations, I keep imagining how a cover/remix of Battle Highway from Sonic Battle would sound. Especially in your style, the mix of keyboard boops and rock guitar would sound amazing. As for the Lil' Slugger remix, my only complaint is it didn't do the standard game loop before going into the extended material. Regardless, it is an amazing cover as always!

I've never played Super Meat Boy, thanks for exposing me to this track! You killed it!

FINALLY someone who cover the full version !!

HELL YEAH! You even did the extended version, I love you dude!

Yes! He based it on the uncut version

I just woke up and Johnny decied to drop his best indie game song remix

no way i was expecting gametal to do lil slugger

I love how it has like a Doom atmosphere, even if it's not wanted

Super Meat Boy just has a good soundtrack in general. It's hard as shit, but rewarding all the same.

As soon as I knew how Danny Baranowski was (thanks to Crypt of the Necrodancer) I went and listened to lots of the things he's done. Good lord, this man is phenomenal! And yeah, this feel like a song you woulda done a while ago. Please do BB Channel from Fate/EXTRA CCC.

Always a good time to hear some more Super Meat Boy ost love. Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES Also suggesting New Messiah from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge on the Gameboy Also also suggesting Dancing Dragon Dungeon from Zelda Oracle of Seasons on GBC Also also also suggesting Raiden V - Final Stage Theme/Cystal of Abyss Also also also also suggesting Ivan Ooze's/Final Boss theme - Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers The Movie on SNES

Yoooo Super Meat Boy appreciation!!!

What an unBEEFlievable cover!

*ALL HAIL THE SHREDMASTER*

I was so excited last week when I saw that silhouette and you did not disappoint! definitely going straight into my work playlist, thanks for the amazing work you do Jonny!

Finally some love for this underrated theme!!

YES ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOSS THEMES LFG

Super Meat Boy's OST is among my favorites. Definitely do more.

Glad to see this song and this game getting some love Edit: This cover slaps by the way

Chainsaw vs meat...goes about as well as you'd expect. Chainsaw vs _solid rock,_ though... Requesting Ark Mall from Astral Chain.

Meat Boy: And what am I? Chopped liver? Well...

This song takes me back from when Totalbiscuit(Rest his Soul) did a Wipe-a-Thon 3000 for this game and almost half the video was his struggle against Lil' Slugger. The entire time he was having such a hype infused ree episode, I was jamming out to one of the better music tracks I've heard from Indie in a while. My only complaint was that it felt too short, which, realistically, if you're good at Super Meat Boy, the levels are over by the time the song is done, if not faster. This theme makes me imagine if Super Meat Boy's next game was character action, for some reason. Longer, Multiphased, and still a ton of fun. Thank you GaMetal, for taking me back with this track.

I know no one cares but I have decided to announce to RU-vid that someday I hope to have Dededestroyer Z from Kirby Battle Royale GaMetal remix be a thing. Also, I am announcing to YT that this is a really good remix.

Do Dracula Duck from DuckTales Remastered pls, it's underrated and doesn't have any other remixes

Glad you decided to remix this version and not the 2015 version.

One of my favourite indie games, will forever be proud of getting the 'golden god' achievement when this came out on XBLA :D (Crying shame about the altered soundtrack in the re-release though...)

This goes so wonderfully hard.

This is exactly what I wanted ever since I heard the Extended Version for the first time. Divine.

Damn man, this was insane! I was already expecting something good after the reveal last time, but damn, this was impeccable! The guitar was on point, and you shredded with those solos! Also, the editing here was really damn good! I'm obsessed with how Jonny is able to rapidly appear and disappear near the end, as well as how the end of the song perfectly transitions into the cutscene. As a guy who likes editing himself, I'm obsessed with that. Also, poor squirrel. You nailed this one, Jonny, and I can't wait for whatever's next! (Which I don't recognize... unfortunately) Anyways, for requests: 1. Awe of She (Guilty Gear X) 2. Balrog's Theme (Street Fighter II) 3. Airship Fortress (Mario Kart DS) 4. Barok van Zieks ~ Grim Reaper of the Old Bailey (The Great Ace Attorney Adventures) 5. Pink Ball Activate! (Kirby Planet Robobot) 6. Smart Race (Deltarune Chapter 2) 7. The Almighty (Persona 4) 8. Pure Furies ~ Whereabouts of the Heart (Touhou 15: Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom) 9. Rage Awakened (Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix) 10. Soul Ablaze (Mega Man ZX Advent) 11. Ekoroshia (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair) 12. Battle! Zero Lab (Pokemon Scarlet & Violet) 13. Unexpectancy (Pizza Tower) 14. World Tournament Theme (Dragon Ball Fusions) 15. Bust a Move! (Ginga Force)

Finally it has come...

Finally started playing Meat Boy and this shows up in my recommended? It must be a sign!

I'd love to see you do a Rhythm Heaven song, Wii Remix 9, 10, and DS Remix 8 are PEAK

huh, never heard this ost before. good first impression though also Valstrax Theme would be cool

Such a banger!! You should 100% do ‘who comes from beyond the darkness’ - bloodstained: curse of the moon. your rendition of that would be a-mazing

I cant wait for you guys to do Rocket ridder 😎of super meat boy

Holy crap ive been wanting this for years! Its so good!

ORIGINAL MEAT BOY SOUNDTRACK?!

THANKS GOD, IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE HOLY FFFFFF LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What a Banger✌

Danny Baranowski is a musical genius. Love to hear you play more of his stuff.

I remember the game being hard as hell, this remix goes even harder. Requests: (Super Meat Boy version) Hot Damned (Super Meat Boy) C.H.A.D.S Broken Wind (Super Meat Boy) C.H.A.D.S Lullaby (Super Meat Boy) Devil N' Bass (Super Meat Boy)

This is the cleanest guitar cover of this song I’ve ever heard, holy…

you absolutely killed it like 100 times this is great! >:)

Awesomeee~~🔥🔥

super tofu boy when As it All Crumbles Down (Underhero)

OMFG LETS GOOOOOOO 🤘😎🤘

great remix mate keep up the good work

It will be an honor for you to meat this request on the field of battle: Future Gate, Hexazeon's Theme from Puzzle and Dragons!!!

I was extremely late to the party with Super Meat Boy (definitely a good thing considering the age I was when the game initially released) but when the game was able to download and keep for free with the Games For Gold program I downloaded it and gave it a shot, I loved it and as a testament to how hard this game is i'm still attempting to beat it to this day. I also ended up getting Forever despite its terrible reputation also for free through the EGS.

WWAAGGHH THE DRUMMING IN THIS IS DRIVING ME BANANAS

This goes HARD!!

Glad to see the red Jackson Rhoads get more love recently

Respect man, you rock !!

Super Meat Boy. One of my first indie games, alongside Castle Crashers and Scott Pilgrim. My own personal Holy Indie Trilogy.

well certainly didnt expect this one but fucken love it

olov jonny this song rockkkksss \m/

Hope Jonny does some Double Dragon Gaiden covers, some time soon

Poor Squirrel! But hey, atleast your back, this will be the best moment i ever had. It's truly amazing, i never really thought you had your first Lil Slugger OST and it's awesome. Please do the Love Coloured Master Spark from Touhou Project Imperishable Night featuring YaboiMatoi.

I remember hearing about this game in the top tens of early youtube. Time flies. Also requesting Below the Deep Vanishing Cloud ~ Mow down from Len'en 2

Still can't believe they composed this banger theme for literally just a chainsaw on legs

Okay, now this was a good choice to go for. Probably the most memorable song from the game, too, so I’m glad to hear it get the GaMetal treatment it finally deserves Video 35 of requesting I’m Here from Sonic Frontiers

YOOO!!!! SUPER MEAT BOY!!!! LETS GOOO!!!!!🎉🎉🎉

Glad to see you're back. I have never played Super Meat Boy, but looks nice. I would also like to request 'Scrap and build ourselves' from Eternal Sonata. This is request 117+. You can only get rid of me if you do that cover, Jonny, so you might as well record it already. Otherwise you will see me on every channel, on every video, on every publication. UNTIL. I. GET. IT.

@Gametal, I'm writing brazenly, and suddenly something wonderful happens, I wanted to see in your performance the 1st level of M.U.S.H.A on Genesis (sega). Hello everyone! :-)

Es increíble

SUUUUUUUUPEEEEEEEER MEAT BOOOOOOOOOY!!!!!!

Never a sad day to get a Baranowski song. And, hey, I know that silhouette. I imagine I'm one of fairly few who does. Going to guess it's the first area theme, and I'm VERY hyped for that.

Kartikeya rekurring for day 482. Kartikeya feels far better now. But overall stilly a little weak on my feet. But overall have most of my balance and my speech is normal again. Going to call my Aunt (Dad's side) and my Uncle (mom's side) after this to talk to them a bit since I took a day off work due to my health. This morning when I woke up I thought I was walking on soap.

Sick remix!

Kartikeya klueing back in for day 480. Kartikeya has never gotten a chance to really play Super Meat boy before but this track is quite metal. Kartikeya only wishes his own tune once this musical madman mixes his tune sounds a single percent as scintillating sublime this serendipitously sounds.

GaMeatal is real

This is fire

Now that's what I call a home run!

What you think about "mega mech menace" from "chibi-robo zip lash?

Delicious!

can't wait for the darkworld covers

Wow, that slops...uuuh slaps

YOOO FINALLY

LETS GO

Finally.

Do paper jam final boss please

Who won the 2024 GaMetal Song Ballot?

Не ну это круто😎😎😎

Damn shame this (and all of the original OST) got removed from future versions of the game. It's why I can't recommend this game on any other platform except PC at this point.

Wonder if you could do a cover of Simple Sight from the castle crashers necromancer fight?
