Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

The Game Boy Advance Jazz Jackrabbit bosses aren’t much to write home about, but one thing I do like about them is that almost all of them actually tower over Jazz – and the only one that doesn’t, doesn’t use THIS boss music. And while it’s not a complicated piece, it really fits the feeling of “wow big monster”! The default JJ2 boss tunes almost feel laidback in comparison…

And so, when I started conceptualizing the boss for the next Demon Dash / Ultimate tileset demo, I thought it’d be cool to give Linzner’s composition a chance to shine, with some heavy lifting done to the melodies and structure. It’s still a tracker module, it’s still made to fit into JJ2’s style, but I thought it’d be fitting to make this song even more stereotypically 90’s! Enjoy!

Original piece by Manfred Linzner. Pattern 10 solo written by Rosie McDamsel. Voice samples credited in module comments.
