Like its predecessor, it received a remake for the Super Famicom and then the Gameboy Color, the latter coming to America alongside the first title’s remake.
As with the remake of the first game, most of Kôichi Sugiyama’s themes last longer before cycling, most being solid, especially the ending theme, “My Road, My Journey.” The sound effects, though, are as primitive as usual in battle.
