For context, the first song is the Adder's theme when it's his turn or the player is using him. The second song is when you activate his CO power, which can be game-changing if used correctly. Each CO (Commanding Officer) has two songs like this, one for the normal combat and another when they activate their ability.

Advance Wars music is underappreciated, glad you're giving it a listen! The original games came out in 2001 and 2004, so the time period you mentioned is spot on! Adder is one of commanding officers of Black Hole, the villainous forces in most Advance Wars titles. In particular, he takes sadistic delight in the cruelties of war; and is perhaps the most arrogant of his peers, feeding his ego off of victory and domination in battle, caring nothing for the lives lost, be they the enemy or his own men. This personality carries well into the melody of his themes, as does his snake-like demeanor, befitting his self-aggrandizing tendencies.

One of the nicest parts of the soundtrack is how there's actually 4 versions of each character theme that swap around based on gameplay. A normal version for looking at the map and giving orders to units, a battle version that adds a military themed drum track, a version that kinda fades out some elements while buying new units, and then the versions that go hard when using CO/Super powers (powers being tied to a meter that builds over the course of a fight). They pack *so* much personality into the power themes too. Like Sensei, this older paratrooper guy, has his theme takes on a big band swing style during his theme that sounds like it'd bring down the house for Lawrence Welk or something.

the CO power versions also have their own battle and menu versions, meaning there's 6 themes for each character.

Also calling him a "hot topic flight attendent" has me snickering like an idiot. (The look is meant to invoke a military cadet feel and hws one of those sniveling schemers with delusions of grandeur types, so the unintentional burn is very cathartic to me.)

I always liked Adder's theme among the Black Hole CO for "sounding"(?) the most evil comparatively. Which suits his character, with how highly he thought of himself. Like "Yes, I am the most evil man of all!" and he's just kind of a bitch really.

@@sherrdreamz7232 In my opinion, I think Adder's theme by far had one of the biggest glowups in RBC. Andy, Sonya, and Sami already had solid themes, and there's no doubt that they had their improvements in the remake. Maybe it's just because I strongly disliked Adder's original theme, but I feel like his new theme is the most improved in quality out of all CO themes.

advance wars is a pretty simple tactics game and every commanding officer has a unique power. slipslide and sidewinder (adders powers) are incredibly weak, but the easiest to get in the game. it allows his units to move 1 or 2 extra spaces. You can compare it to commanding officers that: -mass heal (all units have 10hp, this can heal 2 or 5) -get a second round of attacks (in a turned based game, its outright bonkers to go twice) -extra range and damage to long range units -capture properties instantly, including the game winning HQ (normally takes at LEAST 2 turns, and can turn into significantly more if infantry units are injured) Hes an annoying little shit of an enemy that isnt hard, but is irritating to play against Blackhole is his faction, its the antagonistic faction of the 2nd game. The "protagonist" faction is orange star, then you have blue moon, green earth, yellow comet, as other factions youll contend with and play as.

Ah Advance Wars, it's just a turn-based strategy game with some nice character designs but it's one of the most cursed and important Nintendo games. It always lives in the shadow of Fire Emblem but it's worked hard to get Fire Emblem to where it is today. It started with Famicom Wars on the Famicom/NES which would be later built upon for the first Fire Emblem game but the turning point was when the Game Boy Advance released and they wanted to gauge Western audience's interest in handheld strategy games. So they made and released Advance Wars to test the waters. It was enough of a success for them to bring Fire Emblem stateside and the rest is history. What's the cursed part though? Uhhhh... Advance Wars released in the US on September 10th 2001 and its release in other regions was promptly delayed. Then the first two Advance Wars games got remade for Switch (which is what this music comes from) and were set to release in... uh... early 2022. With a war strategy game that features Totally Not Russia releasing *then*, it got delayed indefinitely until it finally released in April this year. Hope thats the end of the curse!

Im the game, Adder is an enemy commanding officer (hence the cadet style uniform) for the Black Hole army, the main antagonistic force of the games. He is something of a schemer, and his appearance leans into that, being a sniveling snake of a guy. Sidestep and sidewinder are his super powers which grant his units minor stat buffs, but more importantly let them ignore the movement costs through difficult terrain, allowing them to "slip" through your defenses when you thought you were safely out of his range.
@VainerCactus0

Also because his power recharges very quickly, he can get a lot of use out of what can seem like a fairly weak powerup if you are not paying attention.

Incorrect, his powers do not change movement costs at all. They increase movement speed of all units by 1, and 2, respectively. (and give them all 10% increased defense, just like all other CO powers that don't grant more than 10)

This track is from the 2023 remake of a game from 2003. In the original game every character had a theme and then there was a universal theme for when they activate their super move. In the remake they did an awesome job on the new arrangements for each of the themes and then gave each character their own power theme, which is usually a dance remix of their regular theme. Honestly, almost every track in RBC is gold. It's not a perfect game, but I really appreciate the love and care they put into the music. Also: Adder's Power is actually not the first tine the Advance Wars series has used turntables! In Advance Wars: Dual Strike (2005) "Grimm's Theme" had a pretty unique instrumentation, featuring hard rock style electric guitar, turntable, and steel drums.

Also: Advance Wars is a turn based strategy series that has a very saturday morning cartoon feel to it. Adder is one of the villain characters from the faction called "Black Hole". Each character from that faction (other that the leader) is loosely based on an animal. Adder is based on a snake and he's kind of a maniacal psychopath lol

Adder's theme was always one of the Black Hole CO themes I felt was underrated for his character not being as good but I always liked it for sounding the most outwardly evil among the villain themes. Which fit his character, thinking nothing of the lives of his enemies nor his own troops. Any battle was just a means to feed his own ego through victory.
