Nintendo Wars/Awesome Music


 * The Advance Wars series is full of excellent, catchy music. Given how you'll be listening to a character's music everytime it's their turn, it's a good thing, too.


 * Behold, the ability to download most of these CMOA's right over Here and Here.

Advance Wars/Black Hole Rising/Dual Strike

 * Since the themes are done in a variety of styles, there's a good chance that one of the themes will be somebody's favorites. Especially for the first three Advance Wars games. So let's list 'em all!


 * Orange Star:
 * Andy's Anthem Surprisingly, Andy is the only one with an "anthem" instead of a theme.
 * Max's Theme
 * Sami's Theme
 * Nell's Theme
 * Jake's Theme A very nice rock-style theme.
 * Rachel's Theme
 * Hachi's Theme
 * Blue Moon:
 * Olaf's Theme
 * Grit's Theme. A very laid back country tune, fitting the laid-back CO.
 * Colin's Theme Who knew that polka music could be so awesome!
 * Sasha's Theme A merry jingle that wouldn't sound out of place during Christmas.
 * Yellow Star:
 * Kanbei's Theme
 * Sonja's Theme
 * Sensei's Theme. A hilarious trumpet/harpsicord example.
 * Grimm's Theme
 * Green Earth:
 * Eagle's Theme
 * Drake's Theme
 * Jess' Theme. An light industrial-sounding beat fitting a armoured vehicle specialist.
 * Javier's Theme
 * Black Hole:
 * Flak's Theme
 * Lash's Theme
 * Adder's Theme
 * Hawke's Theme. Just like Hawke himself, this dread-filled tune lets you know that Hawke means business whenever you have to fight him.
 * Sturm's Theme. Prefaced with a siren-like sound, as a warning that you're facing off with the real Big Bad.
 * Bolt Guard:
 * Jugger's Theme
 * Koal's Theme
 * Kindle's Theme
 * Von Bolt's Theme. Absolutely overblown and pompous, with the use of bagpipes to reinforce his evilness. Very fitting for a Big Bad.


 * But it's not just the themes that get attention in this game...
 * Black Hole Coming, from the first and second games. Despite being from the lighter incarnations of the series, is incredibly dark and foreboding. A fitting tune to hear when preparing for the last few levels in the game. You know you're playing by Black Hole's rules, and failure is not an option.
 * The Black Hole Rising ending music makes you think about all the memories you'll have from campaign, and all those virtual lives lost in freeing Macro Land from Black Hole's tyranny.
 * The Green Earth Theme really carries the sense of a long and drawn out conflict, making everyone weary, yet the battle is far from over.
 * Super Power and Tag Power themes. When you hear them, it's time to ROCK!
 * Let's not forget Black hole's Super Power and Tag Power themes.
 * "It's a Trap!" from Duel Strike. Black Hole mocks you and your attempts to stop it.

Days Of Ruin/Dark Conflict
---
 * Days of Ruin had a darker and grimmer setting, and its set of COs tended to add bombastic rock and roll to the more traditional techno beats. "Hope Never Dies", Brenner's theme, is merely the beginning. The theme fits it's name perfectly though. Getting your ass handed to you on a gold plate, sometimes you don't want to go on. Then your opponent end his turn and Brenner gets on stage, instantly pumping liquid courage into your ears.
 * Flight Of The Coward, Waylon's theme, is also worthy of mention. Particulary worth mentioning concerning his theme is that the first time you encounter him he is fleeing and you only hear the comical intro of the song and then it cuts to the next player because his turns are so short. He seems like a joke. The first time you face him in battle though you get past the intro and know that he is serious now.
 * Mr. Bear/Penny's theme reflects her personality perfectly...
 * Isabella's Theme Is rather upbeat for such a grim game, and fits in with the ongoing motif of there being hope despite the new world.
 * Proud Soldier, Gage's theme, with killer bagpipes.
 * Decadence, a piece from the game that was used in the trailers.
 * Power Up. It drives home the "never give up hope" attitude with all the force and fury of a typhoon and appropriately boots up for the first time as you're (hopefully) making a come back against . Also, it's dark counterpart Stormy Times is no slouch in reminding you that all hope is lost for your cause.
 * The Big Bad's themes in every Advance Wars game so far have been memorable, and Puppet Master, Caulder's theme, is no different. With heavy drum beats and a demented circus-like theme, it really fits the mad scientist you're trying to face off with.
 * No love for We Will Prevail, the main character's theme? It's a joy hearing it after Will snaps out of his Heroic BSOD.
 * Goddess of Revenge, Tasha's theme. Fits wonderfully for a Blood Knight like her.
 * As soon as you hear Greyfield's Theme, even before he hits the Moral Event Horizon, you know that this is not a kind and mentally-balanced man.
 * Cruel Rose, Tabitha's theme. She's a cold calculated killer bitch and this theme enhances her role as Daddy's Little Villain.
 * This game allows you to not play as a CO. This theme gives us a reason why we should try it!
