Most of the track names are taken from the SPC
set of this game. The Genesis version doesn't
have level names but SNES does.

This set was made using gems2rom. The game
doesn't have a sound test and the SFX can't be
turned off so this tool made it way easier to
log. Plus some tracks don't play fully
in-game, like "Level Complete" and
"Lost Life".

Here I am with another GEMS fest. Except,
unlike the previous ones, this one... isn't
that bad?

Yeah, I mean it. Compared to the rest of the
GEMSfests I ripped, this one wasn't that
bad to listen to. (the lack of the generic
percussion might have helped it.)

BoxCubed *did* trim some of the track (here,
it's five out of twenty-two), but at least it
wasn't another ClayFighter situation where
HALF of the soundtrack was trimmed by him.

Some of the songs are in a different key when
compared to the SNES version; in this case,
some of the songs sound better than on the
SNES. (Compare "Level Complete" in this set to
the SNES' "Staff Roll", and compare the
Fox Interactive theme from both versions with
the actual Fox theme itself.)

This pack was ripped using gems2rom due to the
game's lack of a sound test. Funny thing is,
most of the songs were right next to each
other in the sequence data. The sequence data
order of the songs corresponds to this YouTube
upload
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI5JamRJVSE).

The title theme also does duty for the library
card status screen, as well as the extra life
screen after completing the hidden flying
mini-game.

I also updated one title when compared with
the original version of the pack.
"Lost Life" is now
"What's the Matter, Scared?" to match the tags
of the SNES version.

Funny how this asshole claims he used the SPC
set, for the titles, yet
"What's the Matter, Scared?" 
was called "Lost Life" per the YT upload.
