Soundtrack and Other Related Media
The main songs in the game are as follows:
- Battle on the Edge (Opening Advertise Sequence)
- Sling Shot (Beginner Course)
- I Can Do It (Advanced Course)
- Skyscraper Sequence (Expert Course)
In the Challenge Course of Power Edition, the songs transition by fading in and out when inside the tunnels between courses.
While the game features a vocal-based soundtrack similar to the original Daytona USA (but with a more electric, rockier-edged sound), the vocals were not sung by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, who composed the soundtrack to this game. The vocalist for all four songs is Dennis St. James. On the official soundtrack CD, there are versions of the songs where they are sung by Mitsuyoshi on the second disc. In the test mode of the game in the Japanese version, you can change both vocalists.
Contrary to popular belief, the band Winger did not create an entirely new soundtrack for the game or perform it as a band. Instead, the guitarist and drummer for Winger, Reb Beach and Rod Morgenstein, lent their skills to contribute to the soundtrack.
Reb Beach's guitar is heard on "Battle on the Edge" and "I Can Do It". Rod Morgenstein's drums are heard on "Battle on the Edge", "Sling Shot", and "I Can Do It".
Outside of Winger, the electric guitar and guitar solo in "Sling Shot" and "Skyscraper Sequence" is performed by Ira Siegel. The Keyboard in "Sling Shot" and "Skyscraper Sequence" was done by Albert Menendez.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or media:
“No being exists or can exist which is not related to space in some way. God is everywhere, created minds are somewhere, and body is in the space that it occupies; and whatever is neither everywhere nor anywhere does not exist. And hence it follows that space is an effect arising from the first existence of being, because when any being is postulated, space is postulated.”
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
