Darius (ダライアス) BGM – Boss Scene 2 (Extended)
"Darius" is owned by Taito and the game's music is composed by Hisayoshi Ogura. I own nothing.
“Boss Scene 2” plays, as the title suggests, during fights with the boss of the game’s second level, which can either be Zone B or Zone C. It all depends on the route the player chooses.
In the original “Darius”, the boss of Zone B and Zone C is Electric Fan, a battleship modeled after a sea anemone. In Zone B, you fight the normal Electric Fan, while in Zone C, you fight an orange, recolored version of the ship.
Later, in “Super Darius”, a 1990 port for the PC Engine CD-ROM² (AKA, the TurboGrafx-CD), the role for Zone C's boss would be taken up by a new battleship. Well, “new to an extent”; the new bosses for “Super Darius” were actually meant to appear in the arcade original, but couldn’t be added in time. Nevertheless, Zone C’s boss is now Burst Out, a battleship modeled after a pufferfish.
