This is a Yamaha XG/MU100-exclusive MIDI transcription of the first of the two Dark Matter (final battle) musics from Kirby's Dream Land 3 (星のカービィ3), originally composed by Jun Ishikawa (石川淳) - he's a master of boss music, it's always way over the top and completely awesome.
I uploaded this sequence before - in fact, it was the first vg cover that I uploaded to youtube, and it was also one of the most popular on my channel (alas!) However, I was never happy with it... the audio was horribly compressed by youtube, as well as being mono, and the video was jerky and none of the sequence data was coloured, so it looked ultra-confusing - plus, there was a tempo error near the start. So here's a much better version without all those problems, captured from Music Animation Machine. It's maybe my favourite video game cover ever, and was one of the most time-consuming and difficult to transcribe. I'm considering doing the best of my other sequences in this way. Enjoy!
