Talk:Dr. Crygor (theme)

Chromatic melody?

What "chromatic melody" in the tune does this describe? Please elaborate... Also we need a verified title for this musical tune, aside from "Dr. Crygor" itself in DIY Showcase.  ^P_nn^yC_ryg^r  19:12, March 18, 2024 (EDT)

It's heard very clearly as the eight notes played in the instrumental at the start of Penny's Song (the "DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo"). And agreed; I've seen the name "Dr. Crygor's Bathroom Jam" used a lot by fans (including elsewhere on this wiki) but I'm not sure where exactly it's from.

The other theme

As is stated in the article, Dr. Crygor's theme was originally itself a variant of another theme from Mega Microgame$!, and I think it's worth discussing whether or not these two should be counted as separate themes. I personally think they should be (the "DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo-DOO-doo" melody that keeps showing up in new WarioWare games is specifically from the music for Dr. Crygor's stage in Mega Microgame$! after all), but since that other theme is otherwise pretty much entirely confined to Mega Microgame$! and its mostly-port (and the "WarioWare, Inc. Medley" from Brawl), it may or may not make sense to group the two themes together with this one article covering both. JanMisali (talk) 17:08, March 25, 2024 (EDT)

I had forgotten about its use in the WarioWare microgame from Get It Together!. Counting the three separate Smash games that use the "WarioWare, Inc. Medley" and the versions of Dr. Crygor's theme that specifically preserve the melody from the original theme, that's eight separate games that use that theme, making it eligible for its own article. But since that theme doesn't have an official name (or commonly used conjectural name), and since its various appearances overlap so significantly with this theme, should instances of "unnamed recurring cutscene motif from Mega Microgame$!" be listed on this article? jan Misali (talk · contributions) 12:36, May 13, 2024 (EDT)

OHHHH, that's a toughie! SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 08:49, May 15, 2024 (EDT)

Guys, it's just the main theme for WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!. It appears on the game's title screen and main menu, too, and an arrangement of the menu music for Super Smash Bros. Brawl is even titled "WarioWare, Inc." It's definitely NOT an unknown, untitled theme.
I don't understand how people haven't noticed, since it's as obvious as the Ground theme from Super Mario World being everywhere. I've literally said this a month and a half ago and it bothers me that NO ONE decided to do anything about it. rend (talk) (edits) 04:57, August 13, 2024 (EDT)

Yeah, it is definitely the main theme of the game, but the "WarioWare, Inc." track in Brawl only arranges the half of the menu music that isn't shared with Dr. Crygor's theme and all the miscellaneous cutscene tracks, so I was hesitant to apply that specific name for the full theme. It's still a reasonable name though, and it works better than just leaving it unnamed. jan Misali (talk · contributions) 09:44, August 13, 2024 (EDT)

Just in case, here's a list where the recurring motif from the main theme appears, from what I can gather:

WarioWare, Inc:. Mega Microgame$!

• Title theme (second half)
• Menu theme
• Wario (Intro) Cutscene theme/Wario (Intro) Game Over theme
• 9-Volt (Nintendo Classics) Cutscene theme #2
• Dr. Crygor's theme
• Dr. Crygor (Reality) Epilogue cutscene theme #3
• Wario (Anything Goes) Cutscene theme (in itself an arrangement of his Intro cutscene theme)
  • (HQ version from Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.2: Loud Music)
• Menu theme (after viewing credits)
• Menu theme (unknown variant?)

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!

• "What's Behind the Door" (Menu theme)
• "Wario's Theme" (Wario Microgame catalogue/character profile/Outta My Way menu)
• "Dr. Crygor's Theme" (Dr. Crygor Microgame catalogue/character profile/Balloon Bang menu)
• "Wario All-Stars" (full Microgame catalogue) (plays during 9-Volt's part and Dr. Crygor's part)
• "Staff Target" (credits) (from title theme arrangement)]
• e-Reader Microgame, e-Reader Failure, e-Reader Success
• Dr. Crygor cutscene

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

• "WarioWare, Inc." (arrangement of menu theme)
• "WarioWare Inc. Medley" (incorporates 9-Volt's cutscene theme #2, Wario's Anything Goes cutscene theme, and the menu theme)

WarioWare D.I.Y.

• Game intro (during arrangement of Dr. Crygor's theme)

WarioWare D.I.Y. Showcase

• "Dr. Crygor" (Wario-Man Record)

WarioWare: Get It Together!

• WarioWare (Nintendo Classics microgame, Level 1) (uses WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!; Level 3, which uses WarioWare, Inc:. Mega Microgame$!, only incorporates the first half of the title theme)

Further inspection makes me realize the title theme on its own could very well be a potential recurring theme too. And maybe Wario's theme. rend (talk) (edits) 10:48, August 13, 2024 (EDT)
