PMD2: Primal Dialga (Marimba Arrangement)
55The next entry in the VGMallets Series!
So there you were, you are your partner, at the top of Temporal Tower, face to face with the deity of time. Only, the final hurdle you face is no ordinary Dialga. Right before you is....Primal Dialga.
What a battle. I was about twelve years old when I first played through Explorers of Time, and this was probably one of the hardest bosses I'd ever played against. Funnily enough, I didn't pay too much attention to the music during my first playthrough (too focused on Reviver Seeds for that), but something prompted me to revisit Dialga's theme a little while later, and when I did...I was awed.
Now, if you've listened to the Mystery Dungeon music, chances are you've come across Bespinben's and threelines3's arrangements. When I first heard them, I was wonderstruck, and I promised myself that I'd arrange them for marimba one day.
For this arrangement, I took elements from both of their arrangements, adapted them for marimba, and put my own spin on things to keep them interesting. So here it is, "Primal Dialga", also known as "Dialga's Fight to the Finish", from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness & Sky.
