MIDI Week Singles: "Staff Roll" - Bust-A-Move (SGG)

 


"Staff Roll" from Bust-A-Move on the SEGA Game Gear (1995)
Composer: Tamayo Kawamoto with themes by Tadashi Kimijima
Album: No Official Release


I'm not a particularly big Bubble Bobble fan, and adjacent, I'm not a big Puzzle Bobble, or Bust-A-Move fan either.  I get the concept of the games, and I'll play them, especially in two-player/co-op mode, but it's not a franchise that I'll seek out.  That being said, I like how Tamayo Kawamoto used the music from the first stage of the first Bubble Bobble as the closing music for this game.  As assumed, I can't quite tell if other themes from the original game were used or sprinkled throughout the rest of the music in this game.  To me, it comes across as a nice nod and send off for people who completed the game and are watching/enjoying the credits.  Sort of like a musical "Thanks for Playing" after nearly two hours.
