PixelTunes Radio VGM Podcast 
A very nice podcast; some good music picks (but it’s hard to go wrong with David Wise). I remember being surprised finding out that David Wise did the music for the Battletoads games; it just boggled my mind at the time since I played DKC games way before Battletoads. Speaking of which, the Dark Queen was the final boss for the original Battletoads, Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, and Battletoads & Double Dragon. Meanwhile, Robo-Manus took the job of being the final boss for both arcade and Gameboy Battletoads titles. Just to clear up that question.
[Ed] Ah, OK! I could have sworn I remember fighting Robo-Manus at the end of Battlemaniacs, and then destroying the ship from the helicopter without fighting the queen, but it was a while ago and I must’ve gotten my games mixed up. The funny thing is, if you look at the very beginning of my soundtrack thread, you’ll see the post I made when I discovered that Wise did both BT and DKC. I think I actually used the phrase “Mind=Blown” then, too!
