I think it's truly incredible how every single stage in this game is unique. unique assets, music, level design, gameplay mechanics ... it sets the bar impossibly high for other 2d platformers.
-
David Wise deserves an Award for the soundtrack of this game.

"And here's MY little secret: I killed Mufasa."

How this masterpiece of a video game was not nominated for Best Soundtrack in the 2014 Game Awards is beyond me.. :/
-
It's like Dave was thinking "Lemme SHOW y'all why you should've hit me up for the FIRST soundtrack."
-
This stage always leaves me feeling so sad. The trees seemed so alive in the first stage, and now they're burnt to a crisp.
-
Now, any other person would associate this level with really frantic and demonic music. But what Mr. Wise did here was clever. Instead of focusing on the fire itself, the music catches the feeling of grief and sadness, seeing what was once such a lively atmosphere now burnt to shambles.

A youtuber described the dancey flute part as "The past beauty of the savahna crying in pain" if that is true, that is really damn brilliant and shows that David Wise really knows level themes and how to incorperate his music into them.

I had heard that David Wise was going for a more lighthearted soundtrack for this game. Don't get me wrong, the tracks before this one are amazing, but I still was kinda hoping for something with a darker, DKC2 feel, and thought that it just wasn't going to happen. Then I heard this.

I think Scorch 'N' Torch exists because of Frantic Fields. Think about it. A: In level 3-3 there were lightning volts, and grass was everywhere. B: The lightning struck the wooden platforms, which was carried by dust devils! When A and B happens it could explain 3-4.

How ironic a game named Tropical FREEZE has one of the hottest songs I've ever heard.
-
This song made me feel sadness for the actual environment itself, where all the previous levels have a festive and welcoming vibe, but this one shows a catastrophe and the music let's you know that it's not fun and games anymore. I love tropical freeze in that it requires no dialog to tell you the story, but in what you're up against with every level.

I felt so sorry for the savannah when I entered the stage. All the fire... It reminded me of the final scene in Lion King. Pretty intense.
-
David Wise is some sort of genius.
-
3-1: Lets have a celebration! Such joy! Such glee! It's time to dance and rejoice in the wonder of... 3-4: Now let's BURN IT ALL DOWN! That's definitely what I loved about this world. No shortage of surprises.

One of the best songs I have heard on a videogame in many years.
-
Picture this level being translated into a stage for the next Smash. Seriously, just think about it for a second. An arena surrounded by plains, dry and thick with smoke and flames. A lone, large tree looming in the centre, its burnt branches and foliage serving as temporary refuge until the weight of the players causes them to crumble into ash. Fire breaking out on the ground, with scant sacks of water your only hope of extinguishing them. And, in the background, this beautiful and barren piece of music.

Jungle inferno has returned... like 5 years later this is so nostalgic

This has GOT to be one of the coolest songs in a video game, ever.
