Xander Martin requested a WL4 cover of this from me. Unlike some of his past requests this one seemed easy enough to warrant actually following up on. So I took a stab at it. 

At first I was using WarioWare, inc. as my standard for which sounds I could use. Actual Flute and Pan Flute sounds would be open to me this way, and the choir as well. 
[30,2] was an absolute shoe-in for the chorused plucked string, so that was obviously the first thing I did. I also went to the trouble of making this with Sappy playback in mind, unlike some of my other recent WL4 covers. 

Because of these 2 things I'd been flip-flopping on the idea of going full Arabian Nights with this waarangement. Finding ways of limiting the # of sound channels and # of voices while keeping audio seamless put the idea of also limiting myself to base WL4 instruments (justl ike good old day) in mind. 

So, after the initial arrangement was finished, I basically halted production for a while. I finally took a drug holiday this week, and I may resume it tomorrow (not sure just yet).
But anyway, today I came back to work on it a little more, since I remembered not being satisfied with it where it was. I did a bunch of patch event changes, and spruced up the choir part (which is now strings). 
For a while I had the 1st Flute set to be the Soft Electric Piano, but ended up changing it to [113,2], the Arabian Nights shanai. I ended up leaving the echo as [5,2] though, because it sounded like an echo for just the flutier portion of [113,2]'s sound. This gives the illusion that the lead is a doubling.

You forgot about him.
Left him to die in his time of need.
Thought his life wasn't worth saving.
And he's not too happy about it.

NOTE: This is STRICTLY an alternate-universe interpretation of the character. Everyone knows the real Green Biker Dude has a heart of gold and would never hold petty grudges.

Salad Plain Alt. (Past Variant)

A funky song that @dodzonedout and I collaborated on, initially inspired by Sonic Mania's boss themes.

Not sure what it's supposed to be, but the weird little story I have for it is a prototype of the perfect badnik, all imposing and brutal until it starts to collapse under it's own force.

Collision Chaos vs. Mystic Cave (Mania Mashup)

I made this as a test of my ability to create a Sonic CD-themed tune. The three-note riff is my attempt at making a memorable motif for the theme, akin to the Japanese version of the Sonic CD soundtrack.
