Kirby's Dream Land 2 - Embrace your Darkest Sins 😈 ~ Dark Castle 【SNES Neo-Arcadia-mix】

It was bound to happen at one point. Two end-game fortress themes on D minor w/ dark undertones? It's like Dark Castle and Enemy Hall were made for each other. Also felt like a Dark Castle remix was only inevitable, given I'm constantly humming this theme like every two months while I'm doing some work or something similar (I tend to hum a lot). Jokes aside, Dark Castle is another one of my favorite Kirby themes, and it's rendition in Planet Robobot is actually sick, though I wanted to stick more closely to the original track than that version, and reimagine the intensity of the original song. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Kirby's Dream Land 2 is a padded AF game, like goddamn. Maybe it's 'cuz I play Dream Land 3 too much (it's my favorite Kirby game), but Dream Land 2 feels way too stiff, Coo is the only viable animal buddy unlike in KDL3, and there's way too many levels in the 2nd half to feel like it gets dragged out. On top of that, the level design is just lackluster with hardly anything interesting going on in most of it. I have nostalgia towards this game, as it was one of the first OG Game Boy games I ever owned other than Super Mario Land 2 and Donkey Kong Land III, but man, even my nostalgia can't save this one. I honestly considered KDL2 to be the worst Kirby game for the longest time... but then Kirby Star Allies came out in 2018 to prove me wrong, like goddamn. How do you have two bad Nintendo platformers in the same year (Kirby Star Allies and its Dinosaur counterpart, Yoshi's Crafted World) and both games following up some of the best entries in both franchises (Kirby Planet Robobot and Yoshi's Woolly World... especially Woolly World). ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー ー 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐒 '𝐍 𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐂𝐄𝐒 ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Original Composers: Hirokazu Ando, Tadashi Ikegami / Ippo Yamada ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Thumbnail Art [by Nierca]: https://www.deviantart.com/nierca/art...
