Another one where there were no decent MIDIs lying around. I had to do the MIDI myself, but thankfully this is a relatively simple song. One of my favourites...

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.

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

Want the MP3? Send me a message and I'll send it to you. Alternatively, just rip the audio off here.
