Monster Max was a game that I had never heard of before Friday, when I came across the music on YouTube (essentially doing the same #AllTheNESMusic for Game Boy and a bunch of other systems, so it was semi-random). Only released in Europe, Monster Max is an isometric adventure game where you have to prevent music from being eliminated from the world by way of Max, who appears to be a heavy metal loving demon and the music is fitting for that setting. For Monster Max, David Wise has created a wonderfully varied soundtrack that is not all just chugging 8-bit Game Boy guitars and staticky drums and you may not even realize that this is coming from a Game Boy and not an NES. Maybe?
As for when this song happens in the game, I had to do a bit of searching. Because the song is only about 20 seconds long implies that it would not be played during one of the regular stages, although I did not realize how short it was until I was putting this article together. The playlist I pulled it from has it as Track 1, which implies that it is the title track, but part of a playthrough I watched had Track 12 as the title track so I jumped to the end of the game and it being the music that Max plays after defeating Krond. A fitting song for the end of the game, which looks like it would be fun to play, especially updated for modern systems, obviously with the option to keep the music in its original 8-bit format.
