An unusual platformer game developed by
Data East. I've seen this game back in the
day on YouTube on I think, it's one of the
forgotten games video, thing. The game
mechanics itself is similar to Bubble Bobble
/ Snow Bros.

Some of the assets from this game, comes from
Tumble Pop that was released back in the day
before this came out. And it's basically the
same game. But different assets and storyboard.

Track names are taken from KHInsider and
Zophar, because VGMdb hide this soundtrack
release, and I can't find it. Also the in-game
stage names based on my sight.

And I've noticed that some of the stages' BGM
are playing the same music piece. You will get
it once you've listened this pack.

Also, the YM2151 part of this sound is very
loud. So loud that you can almost barely hear
the drums playing on the OKI chip. Shame that
it is only one OKI chip provided with the game
itself, and nothing to adjust the YM2151
volume independently.

Track 05 are similarly mixed with classical
music that Sato composed. The first part of
the song, possibly The Sailor's Hornpipe?
since they have the same music, but different
on a different composition. I've somehow heard
something in my head on that first part of the
song in other games, but I don't remember where
it was.

Update: I think, it could be Parodius DA!'s
character selection screen BGM, since they
both have the same music composition, but on
different pitch.

And there's this London Bridge is Falling Down
playing at the last part, after playing the
main melody of the game itself.

Thanks Valley and Jazz for identifying such
music on the first part of this song. If you
know what's the actual music was in the first
part, just reply on this thread.
