Great idea

I can only conclude 3 things from this: A. Copeland was also rushed to put this out (which isn't a stretch with the whole Spyro 3 fiasco with music). B. Someone else did this or helped him with it. C. He noticed how bad this fight is and refused to make final boss music, so instead, he remixed Gulp's Overlook. It's also funny that he would remix that song since that song was ALREADY a remix of a very famous orchestration used in many TV Shows, Games and Movies in the 90s to early 2000s. Also, it seems that he also added new bits of that same sample to this remix to pad it out since they were not present on the original boss theme. And before you ask, no, i don't know the name of said orchestration, but i REALLY wish i did because it is one of the most intimidating orchestra pieces that you will ever hear.

Yeah but a minute in it loses it’s crap

The first 30 seconds of this track sound pretty alright, but then it gradually degrades into garbage, this mix had to have been done by someone other than Copeland, I can't imagine he would have allowed this to ship

It sounds like the computer is suffering through an error

I think the reason why this track sounds so weirdly strung together is to give off an uncomfortable vibe which it does quite well in my opinion, rather than the theory of it being horribly rushed.

@DoofenSpyroDragon16

I honestly think so too. It’s weirdly interesting to listen to and gets my heart racing for sure! Imagine if Spyro had intense chase sequences, this would be perfect!!

huh this part of this music it sounds like a scary movie

I adore Copeland's Spyro soundtracks and I definitely see what he was going for here, but I agree with everyone else that it's just 'off' enough to not really work.

I’ll be honest, this song has really grown on me. This song is very disorganized and hectic but I’m starting to think it benefits from that. It makes it even more intense.

Poor Stewart Copeland.

Now this is my third comment (which is ridiculous) But I just feel like saying it, this is why you don't rush a game, THIS is what happens when you rush a game, THIS is what you get, when even an experienced music designer such as Copeland begins having rushing issues, that is messed up man.

It might be kinda the most hilarious Spyro theme hahaha

You know, after watching the documentary, this is a fitting theme for what went on behind the scenes with one of the employees going absolutely nuts when an argument got too heated, and literally almost KILLED someone, like WHAT??? (So yeah that’s what this theme makes me think of. Kinda fitting.)

Bit of a mess like the game itself... I mean it starts off well and seems it's gonna be a cool remix of the Gulp theme. Then at the 1:05 part it goes off the rails, nothing feels in place and the violin horror type music feels out of place and jarring at the same time. Could have been so much more.

What if Copeland was just bigbrained enough to make the song sound shit to reflect the rushed product they had to shove out. I'd be mind blown, I did hear he played the levels before making music for them. Hmmm

This boss confused me because I didn't understand how to avoid the cubes he threw at you and couldn't pinpoint a proper way to approach this boss. I finished it through luck, but never got an ending cutscene.

The trend I'm seeing as a whole is that we all agree this theme is just complete and total rubbish. However, as much as copyright infringement might come into place, we the fans, the community of this purple dragon and his entertaining dragonfly, need to fix this mess and turn it into a finished masterpiece. People do remixes and OCs on KZread all of the time, it shocks me to the point I'm really disappointed that no one has tried to "fix" this, even just to call it a remix.

Okay, since everyone's talking about the fight, my turn! I'm not going to lie, I fought this boss twice, once before I got all the collectables and once after, and let me tell you, I felt fucking ripped off in my first run. I remembered getting stuck in the boss stage when I was in second grade because I really didn't want to be there, just fell down the hole by accident and then I had nothing to do with the game again until one Christmas when we got a new PS2 (our old one puked out on us) and some games that gave me utter nostalgia (this one and DDR Max 2). Then I got to the boss fight for my first run, and I found out how cheap and stupid it was. But once I got the barriers down I was expecting another grueling round only for... Ripto to run off. I yelled out "Is that freaking IT???" in response to being ripped off and decided to just go about my business when I started up again collecting all the nick-knacks for 100% (some of the gems were hidden in the Destroy Riptoc Factories minigame X| ) and then I went back to the fight to finish it off and said "Okay, game, give me an ACTUAL final boss!" Yadda yadda, barriers down, final forme, turned out to be stupid easy. The only redeemable thing about it was the music.

Look up the Pre Stewart Copeland version of this Song

Numerous bugs I found in the Ripto battle, in his second phase, where you have to destroy the fire barrier with your ice breath, there was a point where my ice breath did not effect the barrier, thus making Ripto invincible. The next bug is in his final form, where after hitting him twice, Ripto just, stood there, and the only way to reset him was to kill myself. Also, beating the game 100% and reloading the completed file doesn't take you back to the Dragon Realms, it just drops you at Ripto, every single time.

But regardless yeah, that track was still of good quality, it didn't sound messy or bad, just lazy. While this ETD Ripto track? Now that is not good quality! Sounds messy, bad and lazy. But I'm sure it'll also be because they didn't have time, we all know how ETD was rushed to bits. But yeah whoever did it I'm sure it wasn't Copeland. He probably would have rather them reused a boss fight track from S2 or 3 instead of using this one.
