Thirty-six tracks for the rhythm-platformer about a lab rat given one more day to live — and it's packed with cheese references. "Cheddar Chaser," "Cheesy Trap," "Stilton," "Chaource," "Neuchatel," "Mimolette," "Emmental Catalepsy" — a tour of European cheese varieties disguised as level themes.

Each one corresponds to a stage with matching musical personality. "MAD RAT HEART" and "MAD RAT, ALIVE" open with purpose. "MAD RAT, DIE" closes the narrative arc — life and death bookending thirty-six tracks of genre-hopping rhythm.
"electroQtie" blends electronic and cute. "Distorted Graffiti" brings urban grit. "Ghost of Culvert" scores the sewer levels with atmospheric dread. "plash, plop, gurgle" is onomatopoeia as a track title. "Heartless being" and "Black Fear" handle the game's darker emotional beats.
"Kind of Hope" and "Rebirth" provide uplift. "One day at Laboratory" — the rat's origin, where it all began. "Outside" ends with freedom. NIS America created a rhythm game where every jump and dash must sync to the beat, so every one of these thirty-six tracks is simultaneously a level design document and a musical composition.
