Gothic Stage Theme: fang_removal.yml
A gothic eight-bit stage theme in the manner of Castlevania's Vampire Killer, in D harmonic minor, whose major fifth chord gives the style its pull: a square-wave lead, a second square two scale steps below and a driving octave bass. The melody is its own.

Ten Stages: incoming_message.yml
Nine minutes after Mega Man 2's intro and boss themes: ten stages, each in a key of its own set by its scenes, changing theme exactly nine times with a one-bar fill between each, the last a reprise of the first. Each stage's patterns are named after it, stage_0 to stage_9, and a chip track breaks its chords into thirty-second notes as the old sound chips did.
