The motif was removed from the Metal Gear Solid 3 theme on the 20th Anniversary Music Collection (the theme switches to "The World Needs Only One Big Boss!" from Metal Gear Solid 2, at the point the melody originally began).Īs aforementioned, the original Portable Ops theme featured the motif, but is absent in the final version, instead consisting entirely of original music, which appears on the game's soundtrack as "Show Time." Out of all of the Metal Gear games for the PlayStation Portable, the only time the theme appears is in an in-game advertisement for cards based on Metal Gear Solid in Metal Gear Acid 2.Ĭode extracted from Super Smash Bros.
Eventually, in an issue of the video game magazine EGM, it was revealed via an interview with Norihiko Hibino that the theme was indeed changed due to the fact that "Konami Russian composers who said we stole their music." Shortly before the release of Portable Ops, someone on the Internet discovered a piece by classical Russian composer Georgy Sviridov called "The Winter Road," which sounded strikingly similar to the "Metal Gear Solid Main Theme." This was later acknowledged by Hideo Kojima upon listening to it for the first time. Listen to the "Main Theme" from the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Original Soundtrack.Ī remix of the theme was included in Konami's musical game Beatmania 3rd Mix. The motif appeared in early trailers once again, and appeared during the tracks "Fortress Sneaking", "Return of the MiGs" (along with several other Metal Gear Solid 2 motifs), "Debriefing", during the end credits after Starsailor's "Way to Fall", and rearranged as a lounge piece in "Old Metal Gear" (which plays at the beginning of the cutscene with Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin). In Metal Gear Solid 3, the second theme was introduced, but the first motif appeared at the end of the new piece. In The Twin Snakes, the remake of the original Metal Gear Solid, the piece was once again featured in early E3 trailers, and is used in-game during certain Alert phases and the ending car chase sequence.Ī version of the piece appears as the background music of the Shell Connecting Bridge stage in DreamMix TV World Fighters. In Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, the piece was rearranged as a skate punk theme for the skateboarding minigame that is featured in the North American and European versions of the game. It is also featured during the tracks "Comradeship", "Prelude to Denouement" and "Freedom to Decide" (from The Other Side Soundtrack CD).
