Wii Play (2006) had a great assortment of little games, each with a little gem of adaptive music, but none got as intricate as the final one, Tanks!, in which you battle with little toy tanks on a hardwood floor. Check out how much variety you can get out of a few measures of music and some clever game design parameters.

Isnt there a gold tank
this is making me miss playing tanks now
Been playin this game for years, never noticed any of this
I've played the hell out of the tanks mini game when I was a kid. I had NO idea how many levels there were
5:43, the sound of, death.
The way you used the short 1 second “stage complete/game over” bit for transitions was the best use of that sound you could’ve possibly had
This video unlocked a long forgotten beloved memory, thank you for making this
So this is where that music comes from
THAT IS BARELY TEAL WHAT
Ima go play we play now
The lack of cohesion in the pattern can likely be contributed to sorting by priority (as well as inaccuracies in listing)
More likely sorted or progressed by particular ability than priority
Such as rocket or ricochet or mine having a particular trend individually (as an example, not in practice)
they really put 99% of the budget into the music composers
I remember playing this game and enjoying the music as a young teen – I never knew there were 100 levels ffs
bro thinks hes in soul
This game was the shit.
I used to get the music of this game stuck in my head ALL THE TIME. Even YEARS after. Thank you for reintroducing me to this hell lmao
Nostalgia just came upon me so hard
Anyone else get PTSD when the green double ricochet tanks showed up. 😟
Can we take a moment to appreciate the beautiful editing of this video
Surely you could have used actual gameplay?
Just hearing this music again brought a wide smile to my face for the entirety of the video. Nostalgias a hell of a thing, thanks for uploading
Yo this blows my mind because I owned this game a while back and I loved tanks and I always noticed the differences in the music but I always thought it was based on what level we were playing in thank you random music guy for making my life of music so much better
I wish you showed your human character more often
That was magnificent, putting it simply i'd say it's the best peice of media produced this year
suCK Ya dæd
Tanks! was honestly my favourite wii play game in lockdown i would just try to beat my score so i could dare my younger brother to try to beat it.
if every other game in wii play is a short story, then this one is a novella
No one cares
bro i thought the white tanks made this game living hel as a kid
What happens if we put all the tanks in one?
Ahh, I ju- I just love this game so, so much.
I miss wii play 🙁 it was fun
you have no idea how fast i turned on my wii play to see if it's all real XD
this game slapped so hard, black tanks were terrifying, and getting to and beating 100 was genuinely difficult, at least for me
I spent so many hours playing those mini games but my favorite was always the tank one (the only one I couldn’t beat)
i wanna go boot up my wii to play this nd listen to it
How did people discover this
THE NOSTALGIA FROM THAT SONG
Can you do wee tanks?
Fantastic video!
what's the mario maker level in 1:18?
Your voice soothes me, music man
i loved this game as a kid
GOD SO MUCH NOSTALGIA FROM THAT SOUNDTRACK MAN
WAIT THERE WERE 80 LEVELS IN THE TANK MODE?
I have so many fond memories of tanks when I was a kid.
Best game of all time
There is a new wii tanks like game coming, it's called Hyper Tanks. Has similar gameplay but more features. I have a trailer in my profile if you are curious.
like if youre part of the level 100 grinder!! (took me 3 months at 9 years old)
