Introduction -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=0 | 1.01: Table of Contents | 0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=0 Up there. So why do I continue to do this? Because...SOME PEOPLE... 0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~0 | 1.02: Introduction | 0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~0 Circle of the Moon was one of the initial release games for Nintendo's new Gameboy Advance, the fourth Gameboy system (Gameboy, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color) in the Nintendo line. And now they're doing SP. Blah. Anyway, one outstanding feature of all of the Castlevania games has been its music. Even if it is repeated songs from other games, there's that old saying...what is it... "If it's not broke, don't fix it?" Maybe it's just a southern saying =P. Anyway. The music has titles (SO unlike other music), and this is to help you, for whatever reason, remember them. This guide has a different format than my others, as it'd make no sense to create a whole new section for each piece. 0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~0 | 1.03: Dedication | 0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~0 I'm going to dedicate this to Zoop Soul/NOVA. Even though he and I have hardly exchanged two words on AIM [I've added him to my closed list (though he doesn't realize it)], he's still a cool guy, and this guide, as previously stated, is dedicated to him. Also Dave Barry, if you know who he is. Funny guy who writes for the Miami Herald, and has a few funny books, the best of which is "Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway." I recommend it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- II.
