Another throwback to an older cover of mine! This one is the classic Dr. Wily Stage 1 theme from Mega Man 2, but reimagined as a funk song! I had several inspirations for this one, but the one that sticks out the most to me is Earth, Wind and Fire-- so I guess you could call this Earth, Wind and Fire Man 2! My original cover of this piece was purely chiptune, so I also added in some chiptune elements to add another level to the arrangement! This is also my entry to this month's /r/PixelMixers contest!
I hope you enjoy my rendition of this piece!

Mega Man with disco balls 😄love it! That trumpet harmony at 1:41 sounds soooo goooood!

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thank you! Definitely took some disco inspiration for this one!

[@SoulinSadness]

In world of thousand identical sounding Willy Stage 1 Rock Covers this is a very welcome addition.

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thank you! I've heard my fair share as well so I thought I'd give a different take on it!

[@iCrescendo]

Mega Man and EWF?? If there was a VGM themed wedding band this one will be on the setlist for sure!

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Oh hell yeah! It would definitely be on mine for sure!

[@WarpWhistlesMusic]

it's Disco Man stage 🕺
fresh take on a track we've all heard so many times, what a bop!

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thanks! A Mega Man game with different genre robots would be super cool🕺

[@hyperlightdrummer]

Okay, so we'll say that you did Dr Wily Stage 1 and I did Dr Wily Stage 2? Nice team job to share the workload =D

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Haha when I saw you also did the Dr Wily Stage music, I had flashbacks to Tifa's Theme month aka May's contest🤣

[@soundsandstuff]

Is it a coincidence that both Earth, Wind, and Fire Man appeared to conquer the world with this cover in September? Very cool funk arrangement, a refreshing take on this classic theme, nice work!

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thanks so much! I can only imagine what powerup a single Earth, Wind, and Fire Man would give 🤔

[@Hashel]

This was filled with such positive energy, very fun cover, made me bop and smile !

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BlueTarouX]

[@SiolfortheJackal]

Whoa, a Wily stage cover that isn't metal?! Wild! This is awesome.

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thanks! Really wanted to cover it in a way I haven't heard!

[@Thirdkoopa]

oh man this is a bop. I always love funky stuff! Caught myself head bopping at work.

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thanks so much! I know there's no video but trust that I was dancing while recording this lol

[@Sean081799]

This is a jam, nice job!

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

Thank you!

[@psycosulu]

Wily's castle was never same after he created Funk Man.

[@WurtzelTrumpetMaster]

I wonder if the powerup you get from Funk Man makes everyone start dancing or turn into 70s disco bands 🤔
