Sometimes all it takes is a group of groovy agents to cheer you on and some music to get through the day in beautifully impossible ways.
3, 2, 1… Go!
As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.
- In general, hearing Commander Kahn shout "YEAH!" and give a thumbs-up as you complete a particularly difficult level (Especially the brutal final level) is incredibly satisfying, and makes you feel badass.
- A washed-up baseball player proves he's Still Got It, while saving three kids and an amusement park from a volcano monster, to the song "The Anthem". The incident hits the news, and he makes a spectacular return to the baseball field with a new title: the "Comeback King".
- A weather lady defying a forecast for 100% rain, then fighting off rain clouds to change the weather, just so she doesn't break her promise to her son to go to the park with him. At one point, the military ends up gets involved to chase the clouds off. All of this, set to a great remix of Earth Wind & Fire's "September".
- A cat saves a baby from certain doom while the song "ABC" is playing. And the cat manages to get the baby back home safely before the mom is back home, with a piled-high plate of fish as a well-deserved reward.
- The magician mathematician saving everyone in a Las Vegas casino from robbers with magic to the song "Rock This Town". It starts out with him blowing his paycheck on gambling, banking on the success of his show to recoup the losses. When the show gets cancelled due to a bandit attack, he decides to save the day and make a show out of it, raking in a ton of cash for his heroism.
- A little girl and her mother, who tries to keep her father's memory alive so hard that she actually brings him back to life for one more Christmas, set to "You're the Inspiration". Doubles as Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, too.
- That grouchy truck driver who takes on a horde of zombies and a monster fungus with only nuts as ammunition while the song Survivor is playing? The man is hyped up on angry fumes and takes matters into his own hands, somehow curing the zombie apocalypse with canned peanuts. He even becomes the poster boy for the peanuts that saved the city.
- The heir to a car company using his ninja skills to recover his company's stolen car plans from a rival, set to an amazing cover of "Canned Heat" .
- A taxi driver driving his car up the side of a building to get a woman in labor to the delivery room on time. To the song "Sk8er B0i", of all things.
- The whole of the final stage might as well be here, from the beginning of Without a Fight, to the aforementioned intro, to the dancing around the world with chants of "HEY!" leading into the final section, to the ending far more epic than a quirky rhythm game like this has any right to be. The intro to Jumpin' Jack Flash may start out all somber with the Agents turned to stone, but the girl from the Christmas level starts a chant that rescues the agents from their petrified status. As this gains momentum, the music
swells to accompany it. The beat finally drops, the Agents bust out of their petrification, ready to rock out, leading you into one of the most fast-paced levels the game has to offer. It's so awesome, Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 ran with this for their finale.Music lives! - Heck, actually beating the final level is a personal achievement in itself. On a higher difficulty, that's great. Getting all 300s? That's awesome! The top comment of this youtube video says it all:
- "Unquestionably one of the most epic endings to a video game ever. When I finally got to it the first time, I was like "Anthem? What a dull song to end the game with." Then it ended and the agents got turned to stone, and I thought I had failed... THEN IT WAS ALL YOU BETTER GET A NEW CHAIN, CUZ THIS SHIT IS OFF IT and my face exploded."
