But when you have to exit the radio tower and head to the underground, the Goldenrod theme starts playing, completely ruining the momentum of the takeover. The Goldenrod music especially makes it worse because it's so light and cheery.

Seriously, the games have fantastic individual pieces of music, but the overall musical direction is sometime quite lacking.

He should have either had a simplified version of his battle theme, or just used the Galactic Grunt theme. Then when
you fight him in the Distortion World he should get his full theme.
