Dang it, now I remember that I thought #9's song (Oppression) was one of the better ones in Cave Story's soundtrack.

Dang, ThatHiddenCharacter took one of my better ideas.

So, I'm signing up with "Magolor the Wayfarer (Lor Starcutter)" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land (a.k.a. that game's main menu theme).

Kabbalihtic (adj.) - To do with that one set of teachings where the sephirot comes from

Well, I suppose it was fairly unique that the only robot won.

Curses.

Quick side note, the official name for this song is "Let the Battles Begin!" Otherwise, great job!

But that song has eight zillion too many names: "Fighting"? "Those Who Fight"? That game's regular boss theme suffers from the same name-itis problem.

Not many choices left and you probably all know my preferences by now.

Rhinoplasty (n.) - Plastic surgery of rhinoceroses

(Yes, I know, that's the obvious choice...)

As you can probably tell, I'm singularly terrible at basslines. It doesn't matter that I've memorized ASGORE's melody.

Acceleretion (n.) - The increasingly rapid accumulation of something over time

...and, overall, it looks like close to the only antagonist we still collectively respect is GLaDOS.

...Unless we're all secretly closet Eggman fans, which I'm not.

IMO, Nintendo has successfully rehabilitated Wario's reputation to the point where he's an antihero instead of a villain. That takes true chops. (I think the Warioware games were part of that rehabilitation.)
