This is the Transylvania Theme from 1989's NES classic release of DuckTales, a game that plays kind of like a slightly easier version of a Mega Man game, with a soundtrack as good as any from contemporary Capcom games at the time.
For this arrangement, I opened it by reimagining the intro motif to the Transylvania theme as if it were the intro of Meeting of the Spirits by Mahavishnu Orchestra and tried to channel my best Billy Cobham impression! For the main melody of the song, the original arrangement alternates between a unison (because the NES OST creates a tape delay effect using two melody channels) and harmony. I decided to add some rhythm guitar and keyboards whee the unisons occur giving it some kind of Steppenwolf/China Grove kind of feel. Aside from those elements, in the middle of the song, I used the verse riff as a vamp for a drum solo, because why not?!
I had fun putting this song together, it's a fun little tune that's rather memorable in spite of its brevity, right there with other classic Capcom soundtracks of the era!
