Above there's a skeleton with green wings and sharp claws that envelops the whole scene in some sort of contained bubble with a mansion up top. Some buildings can be seen further back inside the bubble.

Your occasional reminder: Never forget, just because a game is running in an emulator doesn't mean it's running correctly & even if it is running as intended, the default settings can still be completely wrong

i will give this tracklist one (1) cool point for including something from Enemy Zero, but I immediately take that point away + dock another point on the grounds that a) it was definitely picked because the soundtrack is already orchestral + done by a film composer, and b) its a bonus track
