Ah, Mega Man 2 for Game Boy. This soundtrack had some cool ideas but also had some very jarring dissonance and high pitch sounds. I tried to balance staying faithful to the original tracks and making them sound good, though with some of them I just threw out the original harmonies and came up with something new. Hope you enjoy!
Had to reupload this as Movie Maker messed up the audio a bunch.

Nathan TL™ My favorite theme is Quint
it's a good one too
Another SilvaGunner, eh?
fixed
The game never had bad music... It just needed proper love.
The truth of this game has been spoken
True that. *sings in charley brown christmas*
It needed a lower pitch
True thanks for saying this btw. ☺️
Nope, if you've listened to the official soundtrack, you'd know how horrible it is, primarily because of the horrendous pitching, poor looping moments, and missed potential. So don't even try to say that "It just needed proper love" bs.
The title screen theme has such a sad feel to it.
I know, right? : (
I get a vibe of sad, but still hope. Like "I'm not gonna give up now..."
The normal version is happier and really it could be remixed into a good fortress level theme, just a bit of ideas.
WinterMagnet the original sucked ass, dont even remind me of that when im listening to *this* .
Megaman has always had a dark lore so it fits
You _really_ rescued that Quint theme from the scrap heap. Incredible.
I know most people here didn't like Mega Man II (at least the original version, people seem to love Quint's Revenge), but you cannot deny that the title theme was godly. Earrape pitch aside, the piece itself is an amazingly underrated Mega Man song.
I agree with you.
I agree, for some reason i am fascinated with the story behind Megaman 2 Gb. Dr Wily travelling into the past to capture and transform Megaman into Quint, and the present Megaman needing to stop Wily again in space with rebuilt Robot Masters. It could be made into a great story if put into media.
@@dawsonhiemstra510 And maybe if Quint wasn't so underwhelming he'd be a good boss to fight.
@@dawsonhiemstra510 Quint actually came from the future, not the past.
@@dawsonhiemstra510 Quint could make for an extremely dramatic character.

*****
I understand, but not all of the songs are listed (most notably the final bunch).
***** Y'know, I'm surprised that no one has ever tried to do an actual remake of the game! With this soundtrack, they'll have the music down pat already and there wouldn't be any problems. A few classic games either got remade or remastered, so I don't see why some people shouldn't make an effort in making this game better.
***** Tpcool And some of us are on mobile, so there's that.
chaosgreyblood They could just use assets from Mega Man 10 and sprites from the NES games. It's something I'd fund if it were a kickstarter.
This game's soundtrack is very underrated. There should be more remixes of it.
gerty tk Is underrated only for the pitch
The game's already got 10 billion remakes though. Have you not seen the Wily Stage 1 remi... Wait, wrong Mega Man 2.
The biggest problem of the soundtrack is that it became pitched up a bit because of a bug
Of all the beep-boops, yours are the most beep-boopiest.
Some comments deserve more than one like per person...
"Yes, hello. I was wondering if you could play that song again."
"Hmmm...which one, man?"
"The one that goes 'bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-beep.' "
(Like if you get the reference. 1st person to get it gets a free cookie.)

WHERE'S MY COOKIE?!
This soundtrack overall feels melancholic to me; quite unique among Megaman music.
Don't you mean *Quint* unique?! XD
I'll leave now.
@@flumptybumpty8745 It's dangerous to go alone! Take this! **presents the Sakugarne**
It's essentially a tragedy, the tragedy of Quint.
That ending theme. Brings my childhood right back
This is probably my favorite fanmade soundtrack ever made. This soundtrack is so god-tier and I'm not even exaggerating.
Not fan made per se. it’s the original mm2 game boy title, but the arrangement was fixed.
I know we got chapters now, but I'm not gonna lie, I really miss being able to click on the bosses to pick the song.
you could do that?
@@mapes2572 that was a thing when annotations worked
Always listen to this during workout
Can we all just admire Metal Man's eye's for a minute
Invert the colors and he looks normal
I know, but all I did was point out something. I don’t see how I “missed the joke”
SF / Bup Toad r/woooosh isn’t even that funny of a subreddit anymore, don’t feel discouraged.

hey...metal man I'm over here look at me
It's amazing how you managed to turn a soundtrack with a few decent songs that suffered from bad instrumentation and ungodly high pitched sounds into something truly amazing.
This was the first Megaman game I ever owned; listening to all those high pitch tracks all the way through. Your take on it is above original and super. This was the only game out of the five that gave all the robot masters stages new themes, and its good to know that Megaman II is getting the love it deserves, even though it's Inafune's most hated game out of the bunch. lol
MakotoTsuguri you too, huh? Now I know I'm not alone! I used to have it complete. I kept my GameBoy boxes, but I guess the folks tossed them years ago.
SUROS PDX-45 ...wut? No one hates the OST: it's the instruments used that get criticized a lot.
I mean, being the worst Mega Man game is like being the worst pizza. You can't go too terribly low
The Smashor say that to megaman x7
CLASSIC megaman.
This was my first Megaman game, and I still think fondly of it, including the music.

You use your final E-tank, the boss is at 1/4 of it's health. Your weapons are all out of energy and the boss can take down your health in just a few hits.
Yeeesssss!

The 64th Shadow Why didn't Keiji Inafune protect this game from sound and gameplay devastation. Oh yeah, this game was made by Cassidy and Botch!
As a poor soul whose first Megaman game was this one... this makes me rather happy
I mean hey, bad first impressions make the other games look better.
My first one too! Still enjoy the gb version to this day.
My first Megaman Game, and my second Game Boy game. Enjoyed it, but even though I can see nowadays why it's the easiest Mega Man game, I couldn't beat any of the stages for the longest time originally and I actually began to wonder if they were programmed to be literally impossible XD
Was also my first Megaman game, and I bought it on the 3DS eShop as soon as I could, before getting the others. I love this game.
@@jomon324 Seconded
The loops may be criminally small, but the Magnet Man theme from this game fucking slaps.
I was totally not expecting this, but this is by far my favorite of the remakes you've done. I love this soundtrack!
I feel that there really are a lot of people out there that truly did appreciate the OST of MM II GB. True the original instruments were awful which everyone can probably agree on but the melodies themselves were always really good.
I always felt I was the only one who appreciated the Mega Man II game boy tracks… I'm happy to know that isn't the case
In the summer of 92 my family moved from Michigan to Alaska. A good part of the road trip, for me, was playing MM2 on gameboy... and I recall loving the music, how the melodies were great, and listening to weapon select over and over. Looking back, the melodies are still great, to this day.
MM II GB has that awesome sad nostalgic melody, and I always loved it. The songs deserved more appreciation. I'm glad that people are making more remixes and more people are enjoying those remixes now.
It's amazing that you covered one of the most saddest OSTs in Mega Man history.
Urvy1A By "saddest" you mean "bad" or actually sad? Because yours is not the first comment that I've read in which someone refers to MM2GB's music as sad. And if so I can agree.
Mega Man 1's Wily 1 Theme (which is damn near impossible to find) I always thought of as a very melancholic track.
SpiralPegasus Actually sad, since the OST has a tragic feel.
SpiralPegasus
I have the same feeling with Wily's 1st stage theme from Mega Man 1.
It's the very opposite of the upbeat from Mega Man 2.
In fact, I think the other Wily theme in Mega Man 1 is very depressive and dark for some reason.
As well as sad for how many ears died listening to it's music.
:^)
+The 64th Shadow Well meme'd, nigga
Hands down the best reinterpretation of this game's music I've ever heard. Totally realizes the potential the soundtrack had, especially to become one of the darkest-sounding OSTs in the classic Mega Man series. And thank you, THANK YOU for giving the final stage a remix rather than the exact same track as the title. This is 100% how it should've been in the first place.
10/10, am listening again and again!
Agree on the dark undertone compared to the NES. It fits the game's premise more if you ask me - Wily just wanted to take over the world in the first game, but this time round is the first game in the series where he is looking to actually destroy Mega from the start
Words cannot describe how much of an improvement this is over the Gameboy version.
It's one of my favorite Megaman games. It got that strange special magic obscure alien lacking-in-context early Megaman feeling that was simply lost after 3 when it turned into the epic we all know and love, but it lost that "go figure" appeal it had early. Now you knew who was who what was what what's going on with dialogues... forever.
well! you proved me wrong alright! you CAN make mountain of gold out of a slag heap! and you did so here with this soundtrack!
man i remember those summer day vacations playing megaman 2 with my gb near the pool. thank you for this
Crash Man and Hard Man are my Favorite themes in this game.
Can we all agree that Air-Man's theme has to be the most sad, and also the one that tries to make you feel better?
Crash-Man's is an ABSOLUTE BOP THOUGH
Toad Man's is an absolute bup.
Especially with the Magnet Man and Hard Man remixes you've finally given these songs the realization they deserve. Thanks and have a nice holiday season!
What the hell is the Quint theme? It's actually menacing!
Hearing this confirmed for me what I already knew--that this was a great sound track that was just poorly programmed. Thank you for dusting it off and revealing there really is a gem in here. Some remixers over at OCRemix need to have the vision to see this needs the full OCRemix album treatment!
These are by far the best remixes I've heard of MMII. Also, I love how you turned Quint's horrible theme into something really cool.
Woodman's theme outshines the other amazing themes here. It is so epic and melancholic. Well-done sir.
Like: Rushjet1 will make more astonishing remixes.
Comments: Rushjet1 will show you his full potential.
I friggin agree with you.
@@andhikabirdboi7014 Wood Man's was always my favorite in the original game followed very closely by Top Man's. Both redone theme sound great too.
@@wtcvidmangotta say air man beats out wood man by a little imo. There's just something that I love about air man's theme.
MMII is the VGM equivalent of a beautiful woman who has a bad drug habit. She's pretty, but she needs someone to treat her good and abandon the bad stuff, so she can shine like the little beautiful star she was meant to be.
Your sound is smooth to the ears and feels good. You have talent, I recognize that when I see it. Just downloaded the album, loving it. Especially that Air Man remix, I love that one.
Ashley Butler? Right?
This is the beat analogy of this games soundtrack I've ever heard
The "End of Time" track is fire
These remixes are OUTSTANDING.
I really want someone to extend these.
Ask Vector Harbor, he'd probably do it.
I love how title & stage select (& needle man???) share a motif that all sound so good
*also end of time! omg love it
*Looks at description*
"Had to reupload this as Movie Maker *messed up the audio a bunch."*
Oh, how ironic.
Basically how it would sound on the NES, right? By the way, THIS would be an awesome idea for a fangame: MM II GB in NES style.

Sweet!!!!
+RushJet1 While that's Not quite a remake of MM2gb like the title says that looks freaking sweet all the same, thanks for sharing.
MM2 IS ON NES
nvm mega man II is a different game
Amazing how adjusting the pitch makes a load of difference. Btw, can anyone who knows the inner workings of the game explain how a bug caused the music to be so high pitched in the first place?
they maybe didn't noticed,MMII was made on a crunch and then some.
There's a rom hack that fixes the issues and goes into depth on the issues
This was my only Gameboy game for quite some time. I know this music backward, and forward. I love that Crash Man's music was already fire, so the only thing to do was speed it up a bit.
It's very rare that a soundtrack makes me stop in my tracks, completely drop whatever I'm distracted by, and listen to the entire goddamn thing.
Truly impressive. Thank you for this.
This is exactly what the OST needed. Some TLC.
This music is so good
Absolutely phenomenal, a game that really, truly needed this to showcase its actually kickass melodies that most people never are able to get past the instrumentation to appreciate. And so very close to your MM2 set? Unheard of.
You've earned rest for sure, but perhaps for the next of these you might consider MMVGB with some Punk and Ballade loves since their respective games are 90% the NES equivalents' OSTs, you've already done so good by Enker and Quint and they're technically featured in the game anyway?
Of all the Gameboy megaman games MM4 got the closest to being spot on with it's nes counter part songs. However MM2 on GB had a fantastic music set, in fact all the GB games had great music...well save for MM3. MM2 was good because they didn't try replicating the MM2 nes songs... they made them new and unique for the most part.
Phoenixesper1 "all the GB games had great music...well save for MM3" Beg to differ, especially the final Wily stage theme.
Phoenixesper1 crash man's bass line is mostly air man nes bass line. really took me out of the experience... its still really good music
Mega Man V on the gameboy was the most unique, since it had it's own story, all original robot masters instead of one or two new characters with the rest being ones from the NES, and all unique music.
MMVGB has an album now. Mars track is insane
Dude, you really made an awesome remix out of this one! DUDE!
DUUUDE!!!!
*cries*
I've always loved RushJet1. Wonderful job taking the Megaman II soundtrack and not making it sound like ear rape.
Finally doing justice to this soundtrack, it has a pretty unique sound (even if a few songs sound similar . Shame Japan House System screwed it up.
fr
My ears got fucking blessed, there needs to be a remake with this soundtrack worth of the highest divinities and universes.
Love this soundtrack. It had a much more somber tone as I think would be appropriate in a world where the robots meant to serve it had gone rogue and were trying to destroy it. You have done it great justice!
i really loved the idea of the soundtrack, it made the game feel like the most dramatic one yet, but it felt rushed in execution. thank you for giving it the love and care it deserved all this time
The intro theme is really beautiful.
Ok, this is one awesome Christmas present.
Then and now.
@@antiiilluminatisquad5365 for real, this shit slaps.
@@codiecola3636 harder than my dad's belt
@@antiiilluminatisquad5365 harder then my moms chancla.
You know, when I listened to the original soundtrack without seeing any track titles or anything I thought Needle Man's music was the Wily Stage music and the credits music was the final boss music (with the unused beta credits theme being the actual credits theme).
19:40
You're about to face Wily, when the room goes black. A second, helmetless Mega Man fades in. His helmet constucts around him, fins jutting out the front, and his glasses lower.
The Boss health meter does its thing. The battle starts.
After the fight, he doesn't leave. He explodes like normal, dropping an I.C. Chip like the MM1 Bosses that upon landing, cracks. This is why X needed to be created, Future Classic was removed from the timeline.
EDIT: Also, this is between MM3 and MM4. Fuck Sakugarne. He has the Charge Buster from MM6. The crack leaves it in its MM4 state.
14:05 THIS NEEDS TO BE IN SMASH!!! *NOW!!!*
The soundtrack of my childhood. Almost perfect.
Man, i did not expect a game boy game to have the best MM ost ive heard in a while, air mans theme was already good in MM2 (nes) but in this its such a different, more driven feel.
This was perhaps my favioret of the Game boy megamans, followed by the gameboy MM1 and MM5 as close second. The music was fantastic and fresh and the fact that capcom didn't try copying the nes versions music was a good move.... MM3 on GB was a riddled with poor music clones.... though they did perfect the music cloning in MM$ for GB. But they wouldn't go rouge again till MM5 for GB where everything was new. The remix you made is great. It's like having an old VHS tape brought to HD, we can finally hear these songs without the glaring screeches that was in the original works. Thanks for making this.
Phoenixesper1 Which one is MM$?
MM4
Ever since I heard your remake of Topman 5 days ago, I have listened to it about 9 times everyday. It's like crack, but feels good (to all my holes, ears especially) I love this song!
Honestly, not gonna lie, the MM2 GB version of Metal Man's theme is the best version of Metal Man's theme.
As a fan of the Megaman Game Boy games, I'm so glad that you remade this soundtrack!
My favourite song is the title. Best song for story telling
Wuh? No final boss theme? You could've made something like a combined mix of the boss theme, Quint's theme and the final stage theme. It could've been glorious... ;_;
I never realized how good the soundtrack actually was
Wow Woodman was so nice that he was a boss in 3 games.
You do realize that CutMan was also in MegaMan 8 Saturn, right?
Damn, there's not a song you can make that sounds terrible, can you? Great job on the soundtrack, it rocks~
Oooo~ Merry Christmas to me. Definitely cool to come home to find this. Hope you're having a good one as well!
Can't get enough of that title theme
The name needs a romhack with this ;)
Rest in peace, annotations. You will be missed.
this is one of the most appreciated redos from RushJet1 for me
This is beautiful. You especially did an amazing job with Needle Man's theme!
thank you for sharing, you made me discover osts completely unknown to me. you did a wonderful job. thank you
SWEET HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!
Fantastic!
There should be a cover playthrough!
I can't do one because there isn't a "no music" code that I'm aware of, and I'm not gonna hack it myself :)
Wouldn't mind a music only playthrough myself.
YoshBrosXD czcams.com/video/2o5He_LjzLo/video.html Well you wanted a cover playthrough....
+YoshBrosXD Quint's revenge.
RushJet1
It was a good idea for you to play Quint’s Revenge instead of Megaman 2 GB
All that MMW2 needed was a correct use of the instruments
I don't know why, but the first song makes me think of Jontron.
WHAT
WTF
Old Subscribers go to EdMaxtor for new vids yeah, it has some similarities to the intro.
I like how all the grey Robot Masters have those beady little eyes in that first pic! :D
I didn't haven an NES back as a child
- But boi was I happy when I saw that mega-man games also existed for the Gameboy. =w=
I remember noting down game-over passcodes.... XD
Ah, the good ol days. 😌
I know this vid is over half a decade old, but is there any single-video versions of these remixes?
getting to loop that main theme would be rad
Sounds awesome, the GB mega man soundtracks are great. I especially like MM5 for GB. I'm very happy with how Needle Man's theme turned out in this, one of my favorites from this game.
That Quint remix sounds super intense. I like it.
OMG! How am I only finding out about this now!?!, this is awesome!
(Also, boss select is straight up fire🔥🔥🔥)
Okay, wow. Gonna have to say this, and I would have NEVER THOUGHT Megaman II for the Gameboy had a soundtrack THIS good until I saw your take on it (ESPECIALLY the title theme/main theme. Wow, just... wow). Heck, after this, I will actually try and see if I can make a Megaman X style remake/remaster of every theme from this game, so, yeah! XD
Dixie Chix so? Did it work out?
it's bad
that's all I have to say about it
I might try to do another attempt someday tho, but I dunno when, especially considering doing a entire soundtrack of anything can prove to be quite taxing
who knows tho, maybe it might be sooner ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(also why did I spam XD on my comments so much)
@@DixieChix forgot to reply and ask for the files since i wasnt tagged, oops.
nah, don't even bother; and tbh, I don't think I have the files with me anymore either, so there's not much I can do anyway
Holy shit, amazing job on top man and wood man. Favorite tracks. That crescendo on top man's theme though. GOD LIKE! I had no idea I was listening to the composers musical score on the remake of GB mm2. I actually listened to this album first before watching that play through. So i was loosing my shit hearing your work. It's soooo good. You know how to play with sounds
This is amazing. Great work!
Ngl, Airman here sounds better than it's NES counterpart.
I...... Just LOVE THIS remake!!!
For years i could never remember which tunes from any mega man game I've had stuck in my mind, They were from this game.
The songs i had stuck in mind were the stage select tune, the selected theme, Magnet man and a few others.
I absolutely love the bass line this remake has :)
(BTW, i do like the originals, just not the screeching pitches the original versions had)
god, the composer who made this game's soundtrack tackled it so vastly different than that of the nes version. every song in the gb version sounds foreboding and sad for no reason. at least the nes version was more dynamic with it's use of minor scale tones
bro wrote legendary music only for it to be butchered by the devs
This soundtrack slaps so damn hard
The lore of the game boy games is very dark and sad..... Because at one point Dr light will die and wily reprogrammed mega man because "GRRRR I need to take over the world sooner? I know! Send quint back in time!! WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?!?
K Bear *everything could go wrong*
clash man vs crash man who would win?
anyone else think the gb airman had a better theme?
Love this version of Top Man. Great work as always!
This is an amazing soundtrack you've come up with. Well done!
Escuchar esto me hace sentir nostalgico y triste a la vez.
I was just about to beg you for this. Thank you so much for making it! I appreciated the composition in this game since I was a kid but hated the grating instruments. You did it great justice.
use to love the original title screen, but i realize now it was played an octave too high, love this work. thanks!
