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.

Cursed Wathedral - Wario's Mystery Meat

Daring duck of mystery
Champion of right
Swoops down from the shadows!
Darkwing owns the night!
Somewhere some villain schemes
But his number's up!
(Four, Three, Two, One!)
Darkwing Duck!
When there's trouble you call DW!
Darkwing Duck!
Let's get dangerous!
Darkwing Duck!
Darkwing, Darkwing, DUCK!
A cloud of smoke and he appears
The master of surprise!
Who's that cunning mind behind
The shadowy disguise?
Nobody knows for sure
Bad guys are outta luck
'Cause here comes
Darkwing Duck! (Look out!)
When there's trouble you call DW!
Darkwing Duck!
Let's Get Dangerous!
Darkwing Duck!
Better watch out, you bad boys!
Darkwing Duck!
(End)
