The music is not the best music on the NES, but it does justice. It is surprising to know that the title and ending music are from the actual commercial. This game was [[Scott Etherton]]'s first and last soundtrack, as he went on to programming games instead of doing music for them and passed away shortly after. The game's programmer Robert Morgan said that Scott Etherton used Acid Loops and Sound Forge for the game's music.
