A bouncy, amusement park type tune. It works for what it is, but I'd be okay with never hearing it again.

So...evil anthropomorphic spring. That's a thing. And this one is even officially built by Dr. Wily himself, it's not one of the many robots he stole and reprogrammed. He actually built this thing intentionally.

Apparently, the background for Spring Man's stage was vastly different in the prototype:

It was an abandoned toy factory and some Capcom characters had cameo appearances in toy forms. Ryu & Chun-Li from Street Fighter, along with Nina from Breath of Fire. It's so cute and so much better than the generic amusement park we were stuck with in the final version.
==================================================


{I assumed I'd make the hypothetical spin-off song list; It makes sense that you made this list of songs, as you wanted to do 200 songs from 1 through 10. It thus makes sense that I'd make the other one, as I'm the one that wants to do 200 songs from an assortment of other games.

Less interested in an X Ranking. I might still join in, but there's no single game that I'd be hyped to go over. I'd actually get excited for Powered Up, the Game Boy games, and Rockboard; I'd even love an excuse to talk about that obscure WonderSwan Rockman & Forte game (though I still need to go play it first), even if the music is terrible. Then there's the fact that Farewell to Ballade might be the best MM10 song, so I'd also enjoy getting to track down some of the "missing" songs and go through them...


X series probably has better music, but there's no particular game that I'd be really excited for.


Back to the current topic: I was too harsh on 7's soundtrack on the write-ups themselves. I was just disappointed: Both because the soundtrack had fewer high points than I expected & because it was one of the soundtracks I was most looking forward to... the first Classic game I finished, the only SNES game giving it a unique sound compared to everything else on the list, I was genuinely excited for it and saved it for last. Then it...really did not live up to expectations. It's not nearly as bad as I made it out to be (if I truly never wanted to hear it again, this song wouldn't have gotten a 4 under Elimination Pie), but it was disappointing.



EDIT: Of course, if I did the spin-off ranking topic entirely by myself, then I could get away with whatever insanity I wanted... could just go with my top 200 songs that weren't part of this Ranking topic, instead of trying to give a good amount of representation to each game (which results in Soccer getting way too many songs. How much was it? Like title theme, ending, credits, and around 11 different fields?). Or I could ditch the 200 song limit and rank everything I wanted to, with no upper limit. Gives an excuse to include the Game Gear game: "Q: Why are you including the Game Gear soundtrack when it is just blatantly a worse version of the NES songs?" "A: 'Cause I wanted to and without any set number of songs, it really doesn't matter how many slots I waste aimlessly."

EDIT 2: And Rockman Strategy! If it's 100% for my own amusement, I certainly don't have to care that the songs are unlabeled. A normal ranking for other people would want context of when those songs played; I just want to listen and rank them anyway.

...perhaps thankfully, I have other things I'm spending my time on right now. I'm dangerously close to talking myself into this. Hopefully, the moment will pass by the time I actually have time for it.}
