Mini Boss Confrontation BGM (Spore Spawn, Botwoon)



Mini Boss Confrontation (Spore Spawn, Botwoon) (so named on the Super Metroid: Sound in Action CD) is a boss theme in Super Metroid. As its name implies, it is heard during the battles against Spore Spawn and Botwoon. It was composed by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano; the former provided the voice of Spore Spawn as well. The Nettori battle theme in Metroid Fusion, called VS Fake Statue First Form in that game's soundtrack, resembles the Mini Boss Confrontation theme.

A remix of the theme is featured in the ensnared Kiru Giru boss battle during Metroid: Zero Mission; this boss releases spores like Spore Spawn. This version of the theme features what sounds like bird chirping. Another version is used for a corridor in Norfair with two "freed" Kiru Giru specimens.

The original theme from Super Metroid can be heard here, the loose Kiru Giru theme from Zero Mission here, and the ensnared Kiru Giru theme here.
