People thought the team behind classic platformers like Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers were out of their minds when they fled from Capcom to Bigwig Games. Claims of lunacy were quelled, however, when the team put out the sizzling adaptation to Saturday morning sensation, Mister Meowgi and his Karate Kats. The game followed the formula of its 8-bit predecessors, taking Meowgi and his daring disciples through 12 stages of rompin’, stompin’, and karate chop-chompin’.
This particular track comes into play during stage 3, “Alleycat Shakedown,” which finds our heroes battling the depraved, jazz spaz Cat Basie and his fence-dancing feline flunkies. Watch out for the solo, it may be meowsic to your ears, but it could spell your doom if you’re not quick on your toes!

There are many chiptune artists with VG related song names or EP/LP game titles. Most songs have nothing to do with the theme, it’s just paying tribute to the core of what chiptune is.
This track, however, does EXACTLY that. I feel like I was listening to an actual NES track from an actual NES game. Fantastic work on this, keep it up!
