"Chocobo Theme" is a frequently ripped track, and a meme on the SiIvaGunner channel.
It is often misspelled as "Chobobo Theme" (or some equivalent) on the channel as a reference to "Chobobo1.mid", an off-beat MIDI of the Final Fantasy IV version of the theme by "Mingo" Games, Ltd.[1], who also created "mm2wood".
Summary[]
"Chocobo Theme" is a recurring song in the Final Fantasy series which usually plays when the player is riding or otherwise interacting with chocobos, a large and usually yellow species of bird which is considered the series' mascot.[2] It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu and has more than 60 variations in many different styles across more than 30 games. The first version of the theme only included four measures, with the second section being added from Final Fantasy III onwards.[3]
