Original MP3s

These are mp3s of the original SNES game music.

  • Air Area (Day)
    Time: 1:36
    Size: 2.21 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The northernmost part of the Drakkhen world map is a land of ice and snow. This is an appropriately chilling theme song.

  • Air Area (Igloo)
    Time: 2:18
    Size: 3.18 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Houses in the upper Air Area are igloos. Here's the chilly little song you hear inside of them.

  • Air Area (Night)
    Time: 2:01
    Size: 2.79 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     A series of cold, successive notes on an electric piano is enough to capture the cold atmosphere of night in the Air Area.

  • ANAK
    Time: 0:51
    Size: 1.19 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The healing shrine theme. Very scary-sounding "wrath of the gods" type stuff, like the title theme music.

  • Character Creation
    Time: 2:13
    Size: 3.06 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     This song is different in style from every other song in the entire soundtrack and is closer to rock/jazz than the typical new age and atmospheric stuff found elsewhere. This is only heard if you choose to create a party of characters from scratch at the beginning of the game.

  • Earth Area (Day)
    Time: 1:09
    Size: 1.60 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The beginning area daytime theme is a typical electric piano and SNES slap bass song. It's not spectacular, but it gets things started.

  • Earth Area (Night)
    Time: 3:29
    Size: 4.80 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The beginning area nighttime theme is more atmospheric and mood-setting. Drakkhen may not have great gameplay, but it certainly has some pretty scenery and music.

  • Earth Area (Ruins)
    Time: 0:39
    Size: 936 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The ruined houses in the Earth Area have this weird theme song.

  • Ending 1 (Overworld)
    Time: 0:53
    Size: 1.23 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Beat the final boss and you have one more task to perform. This music takes over the entire overworld at that point.

  • Ending 2 (Four Dragons)
    Time: 0:08
    Size: 190 KB
    Automatic ending
    Comment:     The short fanfare heard when the four dragons drop from the sky in the end.

  • Ending 3 (The Ninth Tear)
    Time: 1:27
    Size: 1.99 MB
    Automatic ending
    Comment:     The four dragon gods create the Ninth Tear from the eight that you collected earlier and peace returns to Drakkhen Island.

  • Ending 4 (Staff Roll)
    Time: 3:00
    Size: 2.75 MB
    Automatic ending
    Comment:     A cool ending song that made my original Top 50 favorites. Although it might have been an unusual choice, I actually still like this song quite a lot.

  • Fire Area (Day)
    Time: 1:37
    Size: 2.24 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The desert daytime theme is appropriately arid-sounding. Sufficient, but not impressive.

  • Fire Area (Night)
    Time: 2:24
    Size: 3.31 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The southernmost part of the overworld is a dry desert. This music coupled with the lush nighttime scenery makes for a great "Arabian Nights" feel.

  • Fire Area (Tent Master)
    Time: 1:48
    Size: 2.49 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The Tent Master's theme is one of my favorite songs from this game. More of that "Arabian Nights" vibe.

  • Game Over
    Time: 0:53
    Size: 1.23 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Your quest has ended.

  • Haaggkha's Castle
    Time: 0:45
    Size: 1.05 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     I don't understand why Haaggkha's Castle music is the scariest castle theme in the game, since she's a good character.

  • Haaggkha's Theme
    Time: 1:13
    Size: 1.69 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Because Haaggkha and Naakhtkhen are good Drakkhens, they get a theme song that isn't just a bunch of pots and pans banging around.

  • Haaggkhen's Castle
    Time: 1:22
    Size: 1.89 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Haaggkhen's Castle theme is surprisingly laid-back considering how evil he is.

  • Haaggkhen's Theme
    Time: 0:23
    Size: 563 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     All of the Drakkhens that are bosses have a similar theme song - and it's mostly just percussion.

  • Hazhulkha's Castle
    Time: 1:16
    Size: 1.76 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Very ominous, which is appropriate considering the situation at this place in the game.

  • Hazhulkha's Theme
    Time: 0:41
    Size: 986 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Because she's been killed, Hazhulkha's theme is much sadder-sounding than Haaggkha's theme.

  • Hazhulkhen's Castle
    Time: 1:09
    Size: 1.60 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Also known as the pyramid or the final area, another electric piano piece that does make you feel like you're on the last leg of your journey.

  • Hazhulkhen's Theme
    Time: 0:17
    Size: 423 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The final boss. You'd think he would get something more special than another trash can lid song, but oh well.

  • Hordkhen's Castle
    Time: 1:30
    Size: 2.08 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The first castle you'll visit in the game. This simple strings melody is very ominous, creepy, kind of scary, but not too scary. Just enough to create a sense of mystery and wonder.

  • Hordkhen's Theme
    Time: 0:17
    Size: 423 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The first Drakkhen you will meet, and the first to have this crazy stomping theme.

  • Kemco Jingle
    Time: 0:08
    Size: 212 KB
    Automatic ending
    Comment:     Short fanfare heard when you first turn on the game at the copyright information screen.

  • Merchant / Wise Man's Theme
    Time: 0:17
    Size: 423 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Not really a theme so much as a mumble-talk looping sound effect. Heard whenever one of those chatty old men appears on the overworld somewhere.

  • Naakhtkha's Castle
    Time: 1:37
    Size: 2.24 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The music for Princess Naaktkha's icy frozen palace. She's one of the most evil and coldhearted characters in the game and boy does this music really reflect that.

  • Naakhtkha's Theme
    Time: 0:23
    Size: 563 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     She's got yet another of those boss themes you know and love.

  • Shade of Doom
    Time: 0:17
    Size: 422 KB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     For some reason, the Shade of Doom enemy found in the Air Area has a similar theme song to the bosses.

  • Tavern Theme
    Time: 2:02
    Size: 2.81 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The one house in the Earth Area that's not marked on the map (near Hordkhen's Castle) has a unique waltzing melody not heard anywhere else in the game.

  • Title Theme
    Time: 2:38
    Size: 3.63 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The main title music is deliciously evil-sounding. This could give you nightmares.

  • Warp Zone
    Time: 1:47
    Size: 2.47 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Step into any of the warp tiles on the overworld, and you'll hear this short theme while you're being transferred.

  • Water Area (Day)
    Time: 1:46
    Size: 2.44 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     Another nice traveling melody, this one for the swampy water area of the game. Just don't fall in a puddle and drown.

  • Water Area (House)
    Time: 1:31
    Size: 2.10 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The simple theme for the houses in the Water Area.

  • Water Area (Night)
    Time: 1:48
    Size: 2.48 MB
    2 loops with fadeout
    Comment:     The Water Area night time overworld theme. More of the same.

    MIDIs

    These are Midis I converted with SPC2MIDI.

  • Character Creation Theme
    Time: 2:13
    Size: 74.6 KB
    Comment:     Much different in style from pretty much every other song in the game. This one's rock whereas the rest is new age and electric piano.

  • Earth Area (Night)
    Time: 3:18
    Size: 5.52 KB
    Comment:     This is a nice relaxing nighttime melody.

  • Hordkhen's Castle
    Time: 1:29
    Size: 5.38 KB
    Comment:     Kind of ominous and scary.

  • Staff Roll
    Time: 3:01
    Size: 55.7 KB
    Comment:     The ending song that made my original Top 50 endings. I had second thoughts about it afterwards, but converting this midi reminded me of how much I actually do like it.

  • Tent Master's Theme
    Time: 1:48
    Size: 3.03 KB
    Comment:     I always found the Tent Master's theme to be rather soothing. These are extremely easy to do because most of Drakkhen's music uses only two or three channels at the most.
