Notes:
If I remember correctly, this is the first
fighting game that was developed by Video
System back in 1993.

One of the fighters here in this game, later
reappeared on Sonic Wings franchise.

I played the game, and it was broken as hell.
Can't even perform special moves properly.
To to that, you must basically hold 2 buttons
at the same time to charge up (I'm using 2
buttons, btw) before even performed any of
these special moves.

In fact, some of the songs here are unused.
Too many unused BGMs than when I did some of
unused Dooyong BGMs here. But thankfully,
those unused tracks are only jingles, so it
shouldn't be a problem.

I deep-searched who's the composer of this
game, still. It gives me no results, even
VGMpf. It could be Hoso-Q, or Pirowo since
they're present in that year.

Tbh, my honest review of this soundtrack is
like I imagine how hell sounded like. I know
that it should be sounded like a tribe-esque
music, but it kinda like feels more like a
ritual to me, especially stage 5.
