MattHOST
Hmm.
MattHOST
I was going to say Kid Icarus, but that's K-I, not I. That's true.
MattHOST
I mean, I could just go like Ice Age, the video game.
MattHOST
Yeah.
MattHOST
Okay, yeah.
MattHOST
Jurassic World Evolution, even.
MattHOST
K, Kid Icarus.
MattHOST
L...
Christofer SchenströmHOST
But there's a specific reason why I took Flight of Teyota specifically, and we already touched on this subject.
Christofer SchenströmHOST
And this is due to the fact that this is the instrumental version from the Overworld album track called Sid Icarus, which was then released in 2007.
Christofer SchenströmHOST
So when it comes to this bleeps and bloops, we have something fast going on here.
Christofer SchenströmHOST
I just want to hear the first kind of emotion that happened to you guys when you got together with the studio to start making the video game music

Robert StjärnströmGUEST
Making games is too hard, at least for us.
Robert StjärnströmGUEST
So where do we put our stories? well, we'll put them in our studio albums, you know, in our normal songs.
Christofer SchenströmHOST
So considering the Flight of Teoda, which got the album version of being Sid Icarus, I'm guessing Icarus is also the reference since you're flying in a ship and Icarus about flying with the wings.
Christofer SchenströmHOST
Yeah.
Xander ScullionHOST
No, this is like a PSX, PlayStation 1, you know, 3D platformer adventure game.
Xander ScullionHOST
Kind of makes me think of like what Nintendo should have done with the Kid Icarus series.
Xander ScullionHOST
That's what makes me think of Kid Icarus.
Xander ScullionHOST
Valor Cree
JeffHOST
instead of Valor
JeffHOST
Oh, I'm totally asleep now.
JeffHOST
It's great.
JeffHOST
Now, man, this game does look like how they could have done a Kid Icarus-like game back in the day.
Ryan BlackHOST
I wanted to challenge the Smash Brothers that you're saying.
Ryan BlackHOST
I could see them, the big surprise being Kid Icarus.
Ryan BlackHOST
Maybe Sakurai's working on that.
Ryan BlackHOST
What do you think? I
Tom CampbellHOST
It was a lot.
Tom CampbellHOST
I don't think even Kid Icarus has attempted [laughs] the-
Maffew GreggHOST
Yeah
Tom CampbellHOST
...
Tom CampbellHOST
Game Boy Color port.
Tom CampbellHOST
[laughs]
Maffew GreggHOST
The actual Kid Icarus, the myth.
Tom CampbellHOST
The ac- Oh, the actual Kid Icarus.
Rob C. ThompsonHOST
Of the 50 best-selling NES games, only the Mario, Zelda, Dragon Quest, Metroid, Kirby, Punch-Out, and Mega Man franchises were developed beyond the games that launched them.
Rob C. ThompsonHOST
Pit of Kid Icarus and a host of other Nintendo characters appeared in the Captain N cartoon series and comic, but had little life beyond Captain N until the Super Smash Bros. series revived interest in classic Nintendo characters in the 2000s.
Rob C. ThompsonHOST
Also, Bandai rendered the top-selling Mighty Bomb Jack into a board game, but did a little more with the character.
Rob C. ThompsonHOST
What separated these games from the others was that they were all franchises running to at least two, but often more, sequels, and they featured distinctive characters with backstories.

Rob C. ThompsonHOST
Four days a week, the show featured cartoons based on the Super Mario characters, and on Fridays, there was a Zelda cartoon.
Rob C. ThompsonHOST
On Saturday mornings, Captain and the Game Master portrayed the adventures of a high school boy from Northridge, California, sucked through his screen into Videoland.
Rob C. ThompsonHOST
In this Nintendo-inspired fictional world, Kevin, the titular Captain and Game Master, was aided by Kid Icarus, Mega Man, Simon Belmont, and Princess Lana in his battle with Mother Brain.
Rob C. ThompsonHOST
Captain N was loosely based on the 1988 short story Captain Nintendo, published in Nintendo Power, the company's self-published strategy and tip magazine.
Ryan BlackHOST
I wanted to challenge the Smash Brothers that you're saying.
Ryan BlackHOST
I could see them, the big surprise being Kid Icarus.
Ryan BlackHOST
Maybe Sakurai's working on that.
Ryan BlackHOST
What do you think? I
Michael ColbyGUEST
Super Mario Bros. and Castlevania are the only ones I remember.
Michael ColbyGUEST
I think it had Kid Icarus.
Michael ColbyGUEST
It's got a lot.
Michael ColbyGUEST
Kid Icarus was late? Kid Icarus was later than you think.
Michael ColbyGUEST
I don't know.
Michael ColbyGUEST
I don't remember anything about it.
KarenHOST
House Flippers.
RodHOST
I, I could go so many ways with I, but I'm gonna go Kid Icarus.
RodHOST
Okay?
KarenHOST
Mm.
RodHOST
I thought about going Invincible, but-
KarenHOST
Ooh
RodHOST
... uh, uh, Kid Icarus.
RodHOST
Uh, J.
Jared RussoHOST
There could've been a tease of a new Zelda game if they, I mean, they-
Grant BrunnerHOST
What if they put out a new Kid Icarus?
Jared RussoHOST
Sure.
Jared RussoHOST
Why not? I don't think they're ever gonna do that.
Grant BrunnerHOST
... certainly didn't think that they were gonna put out that, [laughs] that 3DS game.
Jared RussoHOST
I mean, uh, Sakurai gets, like, one wish granted after completing a Smash.
Jared RussoHOST
So for Smash 4 it was Kid Icarus, and then his wish this time was Kirby Air...
Jared RussoHOST
Oh, oh, that was the other thing.
