IMPORTANT NOTICE: This song is actually much OLDER than Zelda'esque, so please be kind! This upload is in honour of the upcoming Shantae: Risky's Revenge for DSiWare.

Shantae—a whimsical Game Boy Color title starring an Arabian-style half-genie protagonist—inspired this catchy tune. When I scheduled a visit to WayForward Technologies, the developers of Shantae, I just had to compose a layered song for the occasion. All chromatic tracks are completely original. The drum phrases were prerecorded by Yamaha, but I selected and organised them myself. Some technical difficulties and aesthetical nitpicking stretched the work time of the song to about eight hours.

UPDATE (2010-09-02): Shantae'esque has been transcribed for a WarioWare D.I.Y. record! Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRoykwsQKAk
