Song bank offsets

This info was compiled by ValleyBell and added to by (Jazz) Jackalope.

The bank used on the title screen begins at offset $00168C with a leading 00 byte. The song in that bank that plays when the title screen appears is at $001697. When you unmute the music in the Options Screen, $002045 plays.

(You can find the bank locations for the levels by searching for the right bank's ID. The Village bank is found at $0045FB. The song that plays for its stage music is at $005483.)

TS bank 00 contains the Piano enemy noise. For all other banks, 00 contains the Invincible Shirt music (All banks, 07).

The following image displays roughly which songs are the same in each bank and slot:

Each row is a music bank (1st line = bank 1509A2, 2nd line = bank 1509C2, etc.) and column, song number (1st column = song ID 01, 2nd column = song ID 02, etc.) Every 4-byte number (= two blocks) specifies the offset of one song.

The bank/song duplication info is converted to table form below.

Note: I apologize if the table is nauseating, and welcome improvements.
