"Spark Man Stage" from Mega Man 3 on the Nintendo Entertainment System (1990)
Composer: Yasuaki Fujita
Label: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
What I like about "Spark Man Stage" as opposed to some of the other tracks from Mega Man III/3, is that it starts of strong and maintains its momentum for pretty much the entire song until it repeats. The only thing that really makes me sad about this song, is that I really love the 12 second intro that is not included when the song repeats. It is not one of the more technical or daring songs on this soundtrack, but not all songs from the Mega Man franchise need to be. It just needs to be catchy enough to drive the player forward towards the metal Venetian door and then the boss battle music cues up.
And if you are good enough, you may only end up hearing the song four times before reaching Spark Man. Until you have to go through the stage again in its post-battle state, and then you will hear it again, at least four more times, unless you play like me and then you will hear it dozens upon dozens of times. And yet, it still has not gotten old. Not too shabby for a 29 year old song.
