The snes and genesis versions of the game share some tracks (with unique arrangements) and have a few of their own as well. This one in particular is only on the snes version.

:shock:

Amazing!

I love pitting SNES and Genesis ports to the test. Earthworm Jim being a good pick. I prefer EWJ1 on the Genesis, but EWJ2 on the SNES:

Probably not fair exactly throwing this out there, but while it was JP only as far as the SNES era, you really have to give credit where due.

Tales of Phantasia - The Dream Will Never Die with Vocals

I don't recall 100% but fairly certain this was the only licensed SNES game with a fully vocalized singing track to it, it's the opening to the game if I remember right.

PLOK

Played this when it came out new. Out of all the SNES games I've gone through over the years, this soundtrack by Tim Follin has always stuck with me the most. (And Link to the Past for runner up.)

Gotta love when awesome composers are tied down to lame games. :lol:

Whoa I had no idea he did the soundtrack for that game. It's so very Koshiro of that time too. This track would've fit on SoR

To expand on my original post. Top 5 OSTs on the snes would be.

I don't know how I've forgotten about it this long but this whole games soundtrack kicks ass. If you like smooth jazz or lounge style music just check this:

I never hear talk about this game either. The music isn't the only solid aspect of the game I assure you.

Anything composed by David Wise, the DKC2 soundtrack probably being his best work.
I still can't believe music like that can come from a SNES.

Aside from that I think the DKC3 soundtrack (mostly by Eveline Fischer) is underrated.
