I used three N163 channels for the "guitar" sound, then ran them through an amp simulator in my DAW, so no, this isn't purely FamiTracker, but I made the song fully in FamiTracker before adding the stereo effects. I hope you enjoy it.

I popped into a stream the other day and was immediately hit with a bout of nostalgia as I realised that the soundtrack from Yu-Gi-Oh! Worldwide Edition (Stairway to the Destined Duel) was playing! I played away countless hours spamming duels against Mokuba and Trusdale (not sure that was a translation error as it was Yugi's grandpa). Easy free packs unless he whipped out the Cyber Stein & Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon combo. I never actually progressed that far into the story but might eventually have to give it a playthrough if I can find a fun stall / mill deck.

I love this theme as it's so upbeat and bouncy - it really hits that friendly duel vibe, even though we were just there to smash faces. Compared to other GameBoy Advance soundtracks, this one doesn't use that many channels but the sound design is on point throughout. The main and battle phases are always hype, especially when the defending monster flips over. Because of that, it actually translates really well into a classic 4-channel track while being able to utilise the pulse channels for multiple sections.

Arcadia X - Highway To Arcadia

LYRICS:
below the ocean
there's a deep burning fire
beneath the ebb and flow
a core that is breathing
will we ever stop
and wonder what's beneath the surface
will we even reach
will we even reach the furnace
below the ocean sky
