Shovel Knight OST (XB1 and PC) - Battle the Battletoads
530"It's time to throw down at the hoedown! This masterpiece will no doubt make your jaw drop!"
It may not be obvious at first, and it certainly wasn't for me, but this is a remix of the boss battle theme from Battletoads. It's basically a super-charged turbo version of a relatively plain theme mixed in with the title theme (and Shovel Knight's theme as well). It's insane, it's metal, and it's awesome as fuck to listen to. Virt, you are a badass. Kudos, good sir!

Update (8/20/15): WHOA, over 1000 views! I could've sworn it was barely over 300 just yesterday... Not complaining, though, this music's catchy!
Update (8/27/15): Make that over 2000 views! Thanks, tumblr!
Update (9/5/15): 3000 now! Holy crap!
Update (9/20/15): Since we're at 4000 views now, I should mention: the reason I haven't posted a download link is because I don't know when or if virt's gonna release official download links to these songs on his bandcamp. If it turns out he won't, I'll post a link, otherwise I'll link to his bandcamp.
Update (2/17/16): 10k views! Also no comment from virt. Not gonna assume anything, but I'll encourage you to use youtube2mp3 or something of that nature if you want to download it!
Update (8/25/17): Adjusting the title in lieu of the Battletoads encounter finally making it to PC.
