Music

The game's soundtrack consists of eleven songs by Yoko Wada. Because of the quality of Junichi Saito's sound driver, the fidelity of the instruments are quite decent for a Game Boy title. Also, on the title screen, the game plays the theme song from the anime, Yuuki 100 Percent by the band Hikaru Genji's Koji Makaino. However, most of the in-game tunes are repetitive loops.

To write the music, Yoko wrote the music in Z80 assembly macros. She also previously scored the music to the Game Boy Color title Kikansha Thomas: Sodor tou no Nakamatachi (GBC), while her future husband Takafumi Wada would write the music to Boku no Camp-jou (GBC).
