Notes:
Mega Drive version arranger unknown.

Introductions' musics are looped as heard in
the sound test, although in the course of the
game you don't get to hear it.

Lot of annoying patterns' loops at the end of
the stages' tracks, as you are not supposed to
waste more than 30 secs in any part of a level
in this fast paced game. "African Formidable"
might be the shortest boss tune ever, but the
boss itself was one of the quickest to die ;)

"Mosque" in the 4th track's name is obviously
referring to Moscow (a play on its Japanese
name "Mosukuwa"). This name might be due to the
rumored censorship of the game to appease
Russia. Our Muslim readers will appreciate the
effort ;)

The track names' typos, present in both
Japanese and international releases, are
preserved.

Spotting an accurate loop point for "Driving
Wheel" was a nightmare... Thanks to DukeNukem
and Jiraia, the two guinea pigs who got their
ears red from listening extensively to it.

Release notes from project2612; names/dates lost:
1.01 Refined "Grandmaster"'s loop, thanks
to Duchemole.
1.02 Original Japanese track names. For some
reason 雲塊 doesn't seem to display properly in
Winamp (which isn't known for his Japanese
language support anyway). Other players don't
have this problem.
