The Big Cheese
Wario Land 4's sound room is unforgettable, on one hand you have inexplicable visuals such as kitsune masks with flashing eyes with songs like The Moon's Lamppost where Medamayaki (Palm Tree Paradise) is reversed, making it eerie and unsettling enough to creep any kid out, while on the other hand, you can tell the devs loved getting to experiment and had a ton of fun making songs centered around some sort of theme or story, all while having the time of their lives dressed as Wario. (It even has a karaoke mode!)
But when listening to these songs, I can't help but shake the feeling that some of them were unused and repurposed, with the strongest example of course being Beyond The Headrush (Which I've even heard people say sounds like an unused song!). The song shares the same motif as when you're in a hall before a boss, and curiously enough, the Before Boss theme also has an alternate unused version. I believe that Beyond the Headrush was originally intended to play in the hall leading to Golden Diva. In fact, Golden Passage's theme is another (technically?) unused endgame song, and it also happens to be the only other song I know of that shares the organ from Beyond the Headrush.
On the subject, it's impossible to hear Golden Passage 's theme through standard means since Hurry Up is activated immediately upon entering the level (although I heard it's possible to hear some of it if you pause quick enough), but if you compare it with the map theme, you can tell it's an alternate version of Inside the Pyramid. (Look me in the eye and tell me 0:48 of Golden Passage and 1:14 of Inside the Pyramid aren't the same!)
For another one, I thought it would be cool if Soft Shell was meant to be an alternate bonus room theme for Hurry Up that was maybe cut because almost all of the bonus rooms are kinda out of the way during Hurry Up (unless if it's Palm Tree Paradise on super hard mode or something where Hurry Up is activated immediately, but I feel a lot more confident with the other ones than this one)
And since I talked about the sound room for so long, what's with that unused door beneath it? I noticed that it's obstructed from the player's view once the Golden Passage is unlocked, which makes me think it was the original sound room door and then it got moved.
Here's all of the sound room songs, as well as the entire soundtrack which also includes the sound room songs. I'd love to hear what you think about some of these! I'm especially curious about the Avacado Song, there's even a line from the credits rap for the worst ending, where they say "pour avacado sauce on a long streaky cloud"
