So there you go. The following is version 1.25, and I don't believe I've actually got this version released to the public as of yet. I want to say the only changes I've made between 0.20 and 0.25 is just a little bit of decibel changes in some of the soundtracks, as well as changing the post-multiball soundtrack background music. So that hasn't been thrown out just yet. I will release that in the near future. I think I've had issues with trying to upload it to the actual Penn Sound website. For whatever reason, I keep getting a rejected connection or whatever. It's basically refusing it. I'm not sure if it's a copyright thing or what, but that's where I'm at with that. But I do tend to put this out on certain points in time. I'll put it up on pin side hey i've got it open on this google drive form or drop box or whatever for x amount of days or you could always get it from somebody else that already has it okay so we're going to show off the soundtrack for this game this is using the pin sound card and what's also known as the cat mix this is my mix this is the mix that i have gotten nothing but positive reviews and remarks and comments on. Everyone that has used this mix believes it improves the game drastically, and I take that as a drastic compliment. I take that as a good compliment because I am very particular on my sounds and music, so I felt that the music that I chose for this was in season for this particular title. It goes with the soundtrack as well because a lot of the music is actually just the legitimate soundtrack implemented into the game. Others, not so much, but they still go with the flow of what the soundtrack that they use for this title. So let's get started and I've got no glass on. I'm going to finger this to get it to do what I want. That's what she said? Alright, here we go. I'm afraid of violence again. I've used a lot of improved machine gun sounds and gun sounds to give it a little bit of a better sound. And I've even got my own voice implemented here. I'll do the skill shot. I afraid of violence again You take them all to man We go into mode I'm dynamite! Little guns and roses right there. This is the pop bumper area. And we'll activate another valve. Dynamite! Extra ball is lit. Dynamite! You've made my fur funny at times. Now this is a song that's very drastic from the soundtrack, but the original game had a very different soundtrack as well. Some of you Sega Genesis fans might be able to pinpoint where that's from. Dynamite! Another one. Dynamite! Time to catch the red eye. I'm Dynamite! Big mistake. I'm Dynamite! In this world, the bad guys can win! Dynamite! Dynamite! We'll let the game do its thing right here. We had a lot of modes going right there, so they were kind of overlapping. So... I'm dynamite! What? I'm dynamite! Ash! I'm dynamite! Ash! Ash! Ash Ash Ash Ash Ash Dynamite Action Dynamite! Hero! You've got Last Action Hero that plays during the Last Action Hero montage. I've got Arnold Callouts. All right. But, yeah, I've got Arnold call-outs for whenever you hit this bar that you're not supposed to hit. All right. All right. That's one for going to the movies. Stop it. Stop it. And we are ready to begin. I'm Dynamite! And for the world premiere, we have the Foo Fighters. There goes my hero Junior Alright so I have other songs that play as your main theme We'll see if we can get the other one. This is a good one right here for it. All right so when multi is ready Alright, so multiball is ready. Your scoop is lit for it. All right, let's get the jackpot. Second jackpot. Hey! And the soundtrack will change once you get the double jackpot. Ball straight out. So this is your new background music whenever you have double jackpot done. I'm dynamite! That is the captain. To be or not to be. And Hamlet is taking out the trash. Not to be. I'll be back. _(Acquisition: youtube_groq_whisper, Enrichment: v3)_ --- *Exported from Journalist Tool on 2026-04-13 | Item ID: a6b6b6cc-2ba3-4d16-bbdb-d581b9dface1*
