Figured I should try to tackle this monster. I've certainly had enough requests for it!

I adhered to the NES limit of 4 maximum simultaneous sounds (technically it's 5, but I use two combined for the kick drum as did most NES composers), which means that in order to accurately represent the chords, I had to arpeggiate some parts and harmonise with the bass in others.

I made the image by tracing over the original album cover and by applying what I could discover about NES colour palettes.
