Chiptune - Battletoads (MD/Gen) - Surf City (VRC6)
I always liked the music to Surf City, so I decided to adapt the MegaDrive/Genesis version of the music to FamiTracker using the Konami VRC6 expansion chip. Still, I think it pales in comparison to The Jade Emperor's MIDI arrangement from years ago, which remains my favorite remix of this song.
I also associate this song with Big Blag, since Surf City was also his first appearance in the series, and the music continues to play as you fight him.
One could nitpick and say this song is also the theme to the Terra Tubes level, except that the MD/Gen version of Battletoads chose a different song (Intruder Excluder) for its version of Terra Tubes.

EDIT: I updated the bass, changing its instrument arpeggio setting from "12 0" to "-12 0". The difference is subtle, but I think it makes a real difference.
