The theme was originally designed to be played during the third stage of the game, as chiptune on the Japanese NEC PC-9800 computer platform, at 161 beats per minute using a frequency modulation synthesis chip. It is notable for leading to a much later remix by and singer Nomico and following the remix a subsequent accompanying black-and-white shadow puppet-video. In the 2010s, the version sung by Nomico and the black- and-white video sequence were ported to several second-generation video game consoles and graphing calculators, for retrocomputing and Demoscene competitions, becoming a graphical equivalent to the "Hello, World!" programs of older computer systems in the demoscene communities.
