Yeah, but it’s still a bop. Soken usually sticks to the tropes, but after fighting things like fairy kings and bug dudes to very… unique boss themes, I think he gets a pass.
(I wonder if it was scored to be a “America” style theme. Would make more sense, lol)
I think he might have watched The Emperor’s New Groove.
I did feel like the main theme that plays during certain montages had a bit of a 90s feel to it. Probably the use of a choir. Lol
When I try to think of stereotypical “American” music, it’s always either this, “my truck n’ my guns yeehaw” country, or Earl Scruggs. Soken made the right choice.
Oof, can you imagine a Trace Adkins style town theme. I can stand that of it music, haha.
Then again, you know Soken must have at least thought about it for the Western areas, complete with Koji Fox doing a fake twangy accent singing about booze, his ride, and those cow analogue things you can ride.

Probably inspired by Donkey Kong - Jungle or anything associated with jungles are just jazz now
