This is the complete soundtrack to the Japanese version of Castlevania III. It made use of the VRC6 chip, a special mapper developed by Konami that allowed for 3 extra channels of sound. With two extra pulse waves (that had 8 available duty cycles as opposed to the standard 4), and a sawtooth wave on top, Akumajou Densetsu sounds distinct amongst most other Famicom + NES titles. Madara and Esper Dream 2 are the only other Famicom games that also used the VRC6 for sound expansion.

Fun fact- Hidenori Maezawa, one of the composers and sound programmers for Contra (NES), helped develop the VRC6 chip. You can read more about the VRC6 and other mappers here-

The Japanese version sound a great bit better than the NES ones- pity the NES didn;t have the adapter for the extra sound chip included in the Famicom versions...

@soulwrithe44 This is where it originated, apparently. Don;t forget that a lot of songs were reused throughout the series.

[soulwrithe44]

I thought only Order of Ecclesia and Adventure Rebirth have that.
