Twenty-five tracks mixing SNES chiptune originals with arranged versions that flesh the melodies out beautifully. "Batters Waltz (Arrange Version)" is exactly as delightful as it sounds, a literal waltz for batting. "Guitar Rabbit" and "Baby Rock 'n' Rollers" have this goofy rock energy that fits the cartoonish roster perfectly.
"Hi, I'm Pochi." is the kind of adorable character theme that only 90s Japanese games could pull off without irony. "It's a Naniwabushi, It's a Man" leans into traditional Japanese enka comedy and fully commits. "Oh FRIENDS!
~ Sandlot Baseball Match" opens with genuine warmth, and "Victory" delivers the payoff with a satisfying fanfare. The track titles alone tell a story. "Well, was it a hit" and "Law of Forbearance" have this self-aware humor baked right in.
It's a deeply charming collection from a game that deserved more attention outside Japan.
