Dark World Swamp



Dark World Swamp (as named internally) is a variant of a general ambient theme in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. It plays in the Dark Torvus Bog and features some notes from the theme of the area's light counterpart. It is much more solemn than the light version, with plenty of atmospheric effects. In the hydrodynamo portion of the Dark Torvus Bog, the theme changes to Swamp Chika Dark, which removes the "light Torvus" notes and is creepier, with sounds from the Dark Agon Wastes theme and a persistent, low humming in the background. "Chika" is Japanese for underground. The theme is rearranged for the Ing Hive and Sky Temple Grounds, removing the Torvus notes and adding Sanctuary Fortress-like whistling and Temple Grounds-style choir. The Ing Hive version is internally named Dark World Cliffside, and the Sky Temple Grounds version Dark World Temple. Dark World Temple also plays within the Sky Temple.
