Composed by Koji Kondo. Recreated by me. This is a commission from @Eden-0005 and is for this song only. This was made possible by ripping the music from the ROM in MIDI format using VGMTrans and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using a digital version of the original sound hardware that was used to compose the game, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience.

Composed by Morikazu Aoki. Recreated by me. What makes this different from the regular restored version? This one sources its sounds from the Roland Sample CD collection rather than the sound canvas. The sound canvas samples were themselves compressed to save space on its tiny ROM just as the samples in the game are. The CD releases allowed for much larger storage, and full quality patches. The result is a clearer and higher quality mix, at the expense of the french horn not really sounding the same. Follow me on Twitter for more updates: https://twitter.com/PrinceSamlet
