Notes:
This pack is perhaps the worst of the ones
I've submitted thus far. Oh, sure, it's not
the usual GEMSfest I've submitted, but its
much, MUCH more unbearable than those.

And that unbearable nature of the soundtrack
made it more of a pain to TRIM. The worst part
about it was the fact that vgmlpfind didn't
display a "!" for most of the tracks (it only
worked for 7 and 8), so I resorted to command
looping. One of the RAREST instances where I
used such a tactic. Of the tracks that loop,
I hated trimming "Opening Theme" and "Stage 4"
out of them all, but the latter moreso because
of its stereo effects.

You'll notice how Peter Hennig is credited in
the pack alongside David Whittaker in spite of
this port lacking credits. Whittaker did the
original SNES music, and this game uses
Hennig's sound driver, so I suspect Hennig was
the arranger.
