Chef Saltbaker himself is also an unbelievably gorgeous piece of animation, it's an absolute shame that the fight is hard as nails so it's difficult to appreciate while playing.

The one bit in which the scenery sweeps upwards as saltbaker takes you up to the ceiling I remember I let out an audible gasp and I needed to pause for a second to get a hold of myself again because it was SO FUCKING SMOOTH, you can see every frame in action in just that but of animation and is so seamless! And all the battle is amazing set piece after amazing set piece, I love it 💕

Not to mention the imagery and style they successfully mimiced. Seriously the image of Saltbaker grinning and the coachman from Pinocchio (1940) grinning is so close to the same thing while still being animations in Cuphead, it's just perfect.

Honestly for a final boss I thought he wasn't super hard. Well he is hard, but not compared to the madness that are most of the other bosses in this DLC

Cuphead's artistry is almost (if not entirely) unmatched. I've never played it because I know my limits (lol) but I'm FASCINATED by every aspect of it. Like you said, the music is so unique, I love jazz so much, this ost is like a bunch of Xmas gifts. As a Brazilian I have to be cliche and say Floral Fury is my favorite theme with its VERY ACCURATE 20s style samba with cuícas and everything. There isn't a single bad song in this ost! ❤️

I’d say the only thing that matches it’s artistry is the origional cartoons that it’s based on. I highly recommend checking out the likes of cartoons like swing you sinners, Minnie the moocher, and so on. Absolutely great stuff, especially if you’re a lover of animation

Chef Saltbaker is such a cool bossfight. The way the first phase incorporates all the ingredients you've been collecting so far was really cool to see and the last phase? A giant salt tornado? That was one of the most visually pleasing bosses in a videogame.

I never realized how different the song was listening to it by itself than listening to it in the context of the game (Listening to it while playing the game).

"Ah i gotta catch my breath" thats basically how the fight feels

Ngl, the thing I like about Baking the Wondertart, especially Phase 3's part, is how full-circle it works Saltbaker's deceit into its very fabric. This isn't the Devil, a knowingly malicious force the Cups got tragically indebted to. This is a being that was lying to you about the deal he made from the START - a cheery, overly helpful facade hoping to make Miss Chalice alive again, only to become a cackling, cruel colossus who's planning to dominate reality itself and use your MC's severed *heads* as the vessels. And that Stage Three part of BTW being a dark reprisal of A Far Off Isle's stinger brings that home. Saltbaker's literally taking the theme that brought you to his part of the Isles *and twisting it against you*. Absolutely perfect theme to close the Cuphead series in general and his fight in particular on.

What will really cook your noggin is how in the first few tracks, they hint at the motif of the final boss. That all is not well and sinister things lurk below. Then you hear this track and you realize it's all been building to this. Subtle hints in a very Disney sort of manner of what's to come.

I love the fact that the first half is great, but it picks up even more in the second half, it actually gives me the chills

Finally someone reacting to Cuphead OSTs. Cuphead has literally one of the best OST list of all games. I can't think of a "boring" song or something. Devs literally hired a big band, with most/all of the instruments being "organic". And even so that's one of the few reactions I have ever found for some reason.

It's a fine day for a swell battle! Ready? *WALLOP!*

I love the organ. It's such an expressive instrument. I LOVE the style of Cuphead, and musically, just the fact they brought back barbershop trios is

Kristofer Maddigan is an absolute genius

The animation... The music... EVERYTHING PERFECT!

Ngl, this track goes harder than it has any right to. Even still, it I expected it to go hard but wow.

I saw the title and I was like "Oh YES!". And it's a freaking salt shaker. 🧂

i finally joined your discord to really get on top of the uploads, best decision ive ever made. did not expect the cuphead content but theres definitely so much good music to dissect her

There is no chance I would ever expect this music was from Cuphead

Amazing song. This is my first time actually ever hearing it. I like the classical jazz feeling it gives with it's brass and such. But it's so unique on it's own. Definitely not something you hear in ANY other video game OST. Completely unrelated to add as well. I do not know where to exactly "suggest" songs but i'd love to hear your reaction and thoughts on the song "Roland - Library of Ruina" It's a fantastic piece of music with beautiful violin play and piano play all at work in it. I cannot recommend it enough for I feel you'd enjoy it very much. Either way! Love the videos Marco and your thoughts on music. You really are a unique youtube channel and I cannot wait to see what is in store for the future!

Cuphead's magnum opus 🤌🤌

This song definitely took me by surprise, so fitting for a final battle, much better than the devil's.

Cuphead's music is an all time favorite of mine.

As an old soul. I LOVE this style of music. It’s better than anything currently main stream IMO. As someone that regularly listens to Nina Simon, Billy Holiday, Frankie and of course Louis Armstrong to name a few. I LOVE CupHead and the music style. It’s is so so good and satisfying.

Should let your opera singer and conductor friends hear this amazing piece… Also…would love to see you take on so many of songs…Howdown Hoopla, Bootlegger Boogie, Doggone Dogfight…all kinds of amazing…as are you!

4:05 Fun analogy (NOT BY ME) is that notice how the Jazz slowly comes in and grows louder as the fight progresses symbolical of how you're beating Chef Saltbaker and starting to pull through

Yes, a Cuphead review!! This was one of my requested games and now I feel sated. Hopefully you get the chance to listen to, or maybe even play Touhou in the future too although I'd understand if you don't want to or can't rn

In some parts i could actually picture this as being the OST for a major Final Fantasy boss fight.

wonderful video as always

Now that's a really great suprise. I love Cuphead's music and this theme is one of the best themes in the game, the intro sequence with a choir is the best part for me. By the way, would you be interested in checking out Pizza Tower music? It doesn't have any real meaning behind it (game doesn't have any real lore), so it may be not really worth your time, but some of the themes are soooo epic. Especially "Bye bye there"

Would love to see more breakdowns of more Cuphead tracks! Great video!

Oh!? I knew I forgot a soundtrack!! Cuphead is such a phenomenal game! And this DLC is a banger!! And DAAAM!! THIS SONG IS PHENOMENAL!!!

This game is full of incredible music.

This piece feels like it blended together the music style Cuphead uses with a JRPG final boss track.

BRO I LOVE YOU LET ME LISTEN TO CUPHEAD MUSIC WHILE LOOKING AT COOMENTS

If you love the organ in this you'll love "confrontation" from spiral knights ^^ so unexpected from that games soundtrack

I really can't stop thinking of Lionel Hampton when that music plays

When chef salt baker is in his second phase of his song it is so bop bru

The music from this piece makes me think about the genre of klezmer music! Because it sounds so similar.

I dont know why and how but this Song captures the fight against Saltbaker very Well, The agressive and smooth Nature behind the music is great the Song gives Off the vibes you have of Saltbaker very Well The music feels manipulative and Strong, Just how Saltbaker is, this isnt music anymore, its Not even a great Game anymore, this is ART in every Look of this great artistical music piece its ART

Badass edit. How many deaths until you got it?

Are you gonna listen to CROWNED from Kirby's Return to Dream Land? If you are, I recommend you listen to the remastered version.

Please check out the song Dissociative Identity from the game Killer7. Even if you don't make a video about it, I think you'd really like the song and the meaning behind it.

Can you please cover some Darkwood soundtracks? Maybe Dawn.

This soundtrack is genuinely _almost_ perfect. Whilst I myself personally find the later parts of it to be sligthly forgettable when paired up against the unbelievably memorable OST of this beautiful game, the first half ABSOLUTELY carries this piece and is genuinely iconic. The vibraphone and violin in the second phase part *(**1:00* and onward) of it go unimaginably hard and have a weirdly cosmic and astral feel (Ironically enough that's also a part in the fight where you're lifted way high up, probably that was the intention?), which I absolutely adore, I really can't believe that the vibraphone was played *LIVE,* like holy shit it's so fast-paced and ludicrous! The organ and overall sinister mood and feel in the first phase part also go extremely hard. If the general quality (Subjective thing to say, I know, I do agree that the quality is great even in the second half) and memorability aspect was consistently kept up throughout the entire song, then I would have not hesitated one second to call it one of the single greatest pieces of music in the history of video games, but even with its slight shortcomings in mind, it is a damn musical masterpiece given to us by a genius. It is truely insane how seriously the developers took the music of this game, and I for one am ABSOLUTELY all for it.
