Loud, funky arcade FM synthesis that sounds like a 90s Japanese driving game cranked to eleven. Dangerous Curves dropped in 1995 and the soundtrack absolutely rips.

"Laughing Clown" is this weird, bouncy BGM that has no business being as catchy as it is for a racing game stage. Then "Magic Touch" comes in with the complete take on the ending credits and suddenly it's smooth and cool.
The whole score has that mid-90s arcade board sound, gritty FM chips doing way more than they should. Those 10 Count and Game Over jingles are impossibly short but they stick in your head anyway. Worth it if you miss the days when arcade soundtracks had more personality than budget.
