Over the last several months, The Squire has wanted to play Castle Crashers in the morning before we leave to take him to preschool. When I first booted up the game for him, I had forgotten how damn good the opening titles music was, but since I'm not usually able to listen to more than the first 10-15 seconds of the song before The Squire button mashes his way to the character select screen and to the map screen, I thought I'd find the music and put it up as a MIDI Week Single.
What's interesting about this song is that when it plays during the opening menus, there's only about the first minute and twenty seconds of the song before it repeats, which makes sense because you normally wouldn't have a grand four-minute epic while you cycle through menus. I say "normally" because that is something that I would do and have done for various games when the title music goes particularly hard, and "Four Brave Champions" is no exception.
*While there appears to have been an unofficial soundtrack available through Newgrounds at one time, that page no longer exists, but there is a playlist of sorts with all of the music from Newgrounds musicians that I linked to up there at the top of the page.
