"Mech Exploration" shifts the vibe the second you hop in the suit, heavier and more driving than the on-foot stuff. "Vent Chase" is pure panic, fast arpeggios and a tempo that says run. The boss themes each have their own personality.

If you miss when soundtracks fit on a single floppy disk, this one is for you.
