Aircraft Carrier is one of the signature and recurring pieces of music in the Gradius series. Through the years, it has become one of the most memorable track of the series.
Background
Originating in the original Gradius, Aircraft Carrier has appeared in later installments of the Gradius series and has even appeared in its multiple spin-offs, such as Salamander and Parodius.
It can be considered one of the signature pieces of music in the series, in spite of its short length, and seemingly out of place tone. The theme is a high tempo jingle, used to signify that a large group of enemies are about to attack the player, (known as the stage's Sub Boss), and sometimes highlighting the arrival of the original Big Core warship.
In some later games, the theme is expanded upon, such as Gradius V or Otomedius Excellent, in which the basic motif of the song is used as lead for an original piece of music.
