Trombone Champ is a charming indie rhythm game that, as the name implies, prominently involves the trombone and songs that utilize it. Parodying the gameplay of similar instrument rhythm games such as Guitar Hero, Trombone Champ’s gameplay consists of playing along to popular songs with a trombone. As a result, the game’s song list includes plenty of recognizable tunes.
All songs in Trombone Champ
Trombone Champ features a list of 25 playable songs in total. These tracks range in genre from common trombone mainstays — classical pieces, marches, ragtime and the like — to more experimental uses of trombone such as in ska or electronic dance music. Much of this list includes iconic works of artists such as Beethoven and Mozart, though Trombone Champ’s developer, Holy Wow, contributed custom songs to this collection.

Holy Wow has expressed interest in expanding this list of playable songs with new tracks, both custom and otherwise. It should be noted that most of the attributed works that have already been featured in Trombone Champ happen to be a part of the public domain. With enough support, however, this list could expand to include more modern, licensed songs, as well as additional orchestral classics.
