An electrifying celebration of gaming and adventure, Level Up takes audiences on a journey through the worlds of retro and modern video games. The show begins with the iconic Zelda Fanfare, setting an epic tone before launching into a thrilling opener inspired by classic quest and battle themes. A reflective, symphonic ballad based on Pokémon’s Route 6 brings heart and nostalgia, blending lo-fi charm with cinematic color. The finale erupts with the legendary sounds of Castlevania, driving toward a climactic “final boss” moment — complete with a humorous pause and defiant “two more minutes!” before the ultimate victory.
