Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know I have thought of creating a fan Guitar Hero/Rock Band game entitled "Starlight Coaster: Rock Band." This game is mainly based on Guitar Hero II, and includes songs from Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero (Encore): Rocks the 80's, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and some from the Rock Band series.
Description[]
Starlight Coaster: Rock Band is based on a fictional band from Knoxville, TN, United States. After becoming famous in their hometown, the group of 5 teenagers, known as "Starlight Coaster," decide to tour around the country at various locations, along with support from all their families and friends. Eventually, they become famous across the country and they recieve an e-mail from the president stating that the governors of the states they performed in - Illinois, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Michigan, Texas, and California - have saw them in concert at the respective venues, and, thus, have given them a choice to perform outside the White House in Washington D.C. Doing so, upon returning to Knoxville, they end up with DOUBLE the amount they had from the start. However, they're not done yet, as they decide to do the unthinkable: play every song on tour in 5 sets (1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and Encores) all in ONE SHOW (This is basically the "Endless Setlist" of the game)! Afterwards, they become NATIONALLY known across the U.S., and go back to their normal lives. With Starlight Coaster: Rock Band, you can go on their journey as if you supporting them every step of the way!
Setlist[]
Note 1: Songs that appear in bold are MASTER TRACKS.
Note 2: With the exception of "Bark at the Moon" and "Paranoid (Rock Band Version)," both of which are sung by Ozzy Osbourne, every artist appears in the main or bonus setlist once until the DLC.
Note 3: In the main setlist and DLC, (GH __/RB) indicates which game the cover of the song came from.
Note 4: it is unclear whether "Top Gun Anthem" is originally recorded, or a cover. Thus, it is listed as both a master recording and a cover.
Note 5: All Megadeth songs in the DLC shall be the "2004 Digital Remastered" version, meaning the bass and drums will be louder in the mix than the original recording, released in 1990.
- Note 5.5: Although Hangar 18 has a cover version in Guitar Hero II, the master recording will be used in a remastered version instead, due to a fuller sound.

Characters[]
6 of the characters from the Guitar Hero series will be playable, but only Johnny Napalm, Judy Nails, and Izzy Sparks will be avaliable from the start, along with all their outfits from Guitar Hero to Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (with the exception of Casey Lynch, who made her debut in Guitar Hero II). Axel Steel, Pandora, and Casey Lynch can be unlocked in the in-game store at $25 per character, and an extra $5 to unlock all their outfits.
Additionally, all the Rock Band 2-3 "Session Musicians" will be avaliable to play as from the start, leading for multiple combinations of bands in both Career and Quick Play.
To unlock the 5 members in Starlight Coaster, you must complete a certain instrument Career path on at least Easy. Completing said Career on Medium or above will reward you with 3 extra outfits built in with that difficulty.
When you play the song "Surrender" in Career and Quick Play, Lucy Abernathy makes an appearance to play rhythm guitar and sing backup vocals, along with Jessica Turner (the band's rhythm guitarist). After you play the 1st tier, on any instrument and difficulty, she becomes avaliable to choose at any time in-game.
Additionally, you can unlock the characters Bass, Sonic, Mega Man X, and Zero by completing a certain tier on any instrument, and on ANY difficulty. Yes, even on Easy, you can unlock these characters. By unlocking the 4 of them, you can play as "The Blurry Reploids." However, when you have X on stage, the rhythm guitarist will not be onstage... as X plays both rhythm guitar and sings lead vocals.
Game Modes[]
Career[]
Step into the band's shoes and follow their path solo as a bassist, drummer, guitarist, or singer or as a band. Songs are unlocked as you progress through the story, and you can buy more songs to play in both Career and Quickplay from 8 games: Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero (Encore): Rocks the 80's, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and Rock Band 1-4. Once you buy them, they become avaliable for all new bands you create.
Encores[]
To play an encore in this game, you must gain a certain number of stars on at least 1 song, depending on the difficulty level you are playing on. On Easy, you must gain 3 stars, on Medium you must gain 4, and on Hard/Expert you must gain 5. Upon doing so, the crowd will go CRAZY, and upon starting up the encore, the whole band's icons will automatically start in mid-green, like in Rock Band, instead of mid-yellow.
Customizing the Setlist[]
Unilke other Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, you have the ability to customize the setlist to play it however you like. You can organize the setlist alphabetically, by key, artist, era, genre, etc., but at least one song must be left out. The remaining song will become the encore you play. If you do not wish to change the setlist, the default order will be shown. This is an optional setting.
Rewards[]
Upon completing a certain career, you can unlock one of the members of Starlight Coaster for the said career you played. Playing the band career will unlock the members for the corresponding instruments each member in the player's band played.
