Banjo Tooie - Hailfire Peaks: Fire Side (cover)

STREAM THIS SONG! ► song.link/i/1764374503
Yeah, I basically chose to cover this tune because of the heat.
Ok, but also, I remembered this tune while watching Banjo-Tooie speedruns in the background while working on different music projects. Hailfire Peaks was actually one of my favorite levels in the game, with emphasis on the duality of climate and having so many caves and rooms to explore. I remember spending a lot of time playing this game just getting lost trying to remember how to get to each location. I knew I couldn't leave my icy side cover alone without the fire side, and this was the perfect time of ye...

I was over the moon (lol if you played the game) when Nintendo announced the switch remake for one of the most beloved Mario RPG's out there.

This is so cool!!! You're amazing!!!
Beautiful execution.
I've bought this game so many times on so many different platforms. And I will continue to buy it every single time it's rereleased. I don't think Nintendo realizes how much people would love to buy a banjo collection for switch
Perfect!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Kirkhope is from another world
I forgot how much vibrant this music was, it's so majestuous. Beware the Skeletons and Bats!
I love this theme so much. I used to go to this level just to vibe to the music 😅. AWESOME rendition as always! The instrumentation is perfect.
If Mario 64 had a remake I would imagine this will be in it. Badass work!!
The fretless bass is dope af
nice cover
Got those firey vibes in here!
I love it and it’s totally awesome. You play the wonderful game music from the all the Nintendo games.

What game music are you going to play next?
This gives all the nostalgia! Subscribed!
Banger
The best part begins at 1:10 with the violin!
You’re so talented
Wow❤
This theme is so nastolgic now specially since botw is turning 8 in 2025 I was 12 now I just turned 20
good😂👍
Wow- it's really amazing how this music is just so beautiful. It's a water themed one so it's kind of obvious 😅. I love it so much.
It might just be my personal favorite from Tooie!
@@NicoMendozaMusic are there any that you also like? I'm curious on which you could make also.
@@P0chuL1ver Mostly the main levels that I haven't covered yet from both Kazooie and Tooie. Boss battles are less of a priority since 1. They're HARD to play and 2. Need a LOT of people to cover so many parts
Perfect cover to match the hot weather! Great performances by everyone as always! :)
Had this on while getting some stuff done around the house, excellent work here!
Thanks!
I really enjoy your work!, Please make Hag 1 Battle! it's one of my biggest dreams to hear it in orchestral version. GREAT JOB!
Possibly in the future! I really wanna tackle the final fight from Kazooie first but it's possible I'll also do Hag 1 after!
just what i was looking for to calm but still- hella good.
I'm surprised you were able to reproduce the fast notes that the music has.
My favorite track from the Banjo games, and what a way to cover it! Loved all the bass parts and that baritone was perfection! Thank you so much and keep going!!❤
Oh yeah, That's hot
I dont care what anyone says gloomy galleon gets way more hate than it deserves
we all just have mechanical fish trauma 😭
GET OUT. Seriously, it's the second scariest music of the game right after the Crypt of Creepy Castle.
4:01, man... the crypt was THE place that gave me nightmares as a kid. It's not the darkest place of the game for nothing. And you hear- these creepy zombie moans.
I love this so much!
Outstanding!
I remember this music vividly as a kid playing this game, hours and hours of gameplay coming to an end, culminating in a race against the clock in a level where you literally have to do everything you’ve learned in the game. As a musician it almost brings me to tears the effort you put into this. Thank you. This made my day brother. I play this on the piano all the time but also having been a drummer, the Xylophone part gives me chills 🤯😎 ~ this shit slaps.
Another spectacular job!! Can't wait for your terrydactyland cover!!
How come have I never seen you before? The music reproduced looks EXACTLY the same as the one in-game. You're a genius. EDIT: You even added the Colliseum/Volcano??? NICE.
Spot on! My favorite level in the game especially the music
Perfect. 10/10.
This is perfect!!!!!!! i really loved it 🔥
Groovy! Nice work on this this as well as everyone else!! :D
don't mind me, just watching through your back-catalogue of Kirkhope Kovers and HOLY CRAP IS THAT THE BIT FROM THE BETA FREEZEEZY MY 11YO SELF IS LOSING HIS MIND GRAHHHHH
@@scamuel1896 I always loved that bit from the Beta, even if playing it on violin was a nightmare to get good at haha!
Great.
Awesome performance! It wasn’t my favorite map but the song was great and y’all did an outstanding job as usual.
Nice job!
🔥❄️🎺🎸
Dude. This rules! Love the vibe changes throughout. If you ever need another to collab w hit me up- love your vids 👀
First time seeing your channel and I'm already watching all of the Banjo-Kaooie songs, incredible work!!!
I'm doing the same thing for Tooie and DK64
That fretless tone is tasty! Great work everyone here!
What an incredible job, you did this song justice 🔥❄️
My smartphone had LAG like in the game when I played this video
its a natural part of the game LOL
