Project history

Dynamite Headdy is a sidescroller platforming game developped for the Sega Genesis in 1994
by Treasure (Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, Radiant Silvergun, Silhouette Mirage, Ikaruga).
It's a fun, albeit challenging game, that often rewards you for thinking outside the box
...with Secret Bonus Points! :D

Thanks to Nazo² Unit, who pushed the YM2612 to its limits, the soundtrack has a very distinct personality,
driven by jazzy and classical influences, colorful grooves, and a healthy dose of craziness.
Someone needed to make sure their prowesses wouldn't go unnoticed.

This project started primarily as a fun way to experiment with some ideas and grow as an artist.
A remix request posted by user Jaybell was left unanswered since 2007.
After joining the community, I took upon myself to arrange some songs.
Along the way, a few people volunteered to help or were recruited to join the effort.
What was once a one-man job, turned into a collaborative tribute album.

A preview was released to celebrate the game 16th anniversary and showcase progress.
We've also been granted forums space courtesy of Nitro Game Injection host KyleJCrb.
Interestingly enough, the original thread has since become the most viewed request thread of all time.
Secret Bonus Point will contain around 20 arrangements from the game's soundtrack.

For various reasons, these tracks were not arranged:
Carmen and Nutcracker (both classical pieces)
Funny Angry
I love Goldie Hawn
Kejime 2
Maruyama appears
North Town theme
Tonight's a Jazzy Night
Why Figgy

No prob man. I'm always up for writing some music.

I have to say that however it ends up, you're cool for doing this - some people around do it more for the glory than the music, but here you're clearly gunning for the music, everything else be damned.

Much respect!

[Brandon Strader]

Never heard of the game but I wish you guys the best of luck. If you don't find someone for Dark Demon's song in the long run, let me know.

100% agreed. Go go, guys! GOOOO!

Not being official is the new black.

Mokram, my spring break is coming up next week, so after my own deadline passes, I'll be able to devote ALL MY TIME or maybe some of it to my track for this project.
