MIDI Week Singles: "Credits" - Iridion 3D (GBA)

 



"Credits" from Iridion 3D on the Game Boy Advance (2001)
Composer: Manfred Linzner 
Album: No Official Release*
Publisher: Majesco Entertainment
Developer: Shin'en Multimedia




I have not played Iridion 3D but having listened to the soundtrack, this credits music is another instance of, from what I can tell, the closing music not relating to the rest of the in-game music.  The rest of the music is quite good too, but I wanted to focus on the music that plays over the closing credits for the sole reason that it reminds me of music that would play after an '80s-movie or TV show targeting 10 - 13 year olds; maybe something written and/or directed by John Hughs?  Something potentially silly just happened right after the final conflict was resolved and then this banger arrives to be like, "Yeah, we get it!  This is awesome!  Go!"  There's even a sudden key change too which in my humble opinion, elevates this song a few notches on the Catchy and Memorable as Hell chart.

*P.S. While I could not find a soundtrack of just the in-game music, there was an arranged album released back in 2003, "Iridion 3D & II Arranged Soundtrack and Perfect Selection" from Shin'en Multimedia.

P.P.S.  What do you mean John Hughs only directed eight films!?
