Alex Kidd Shinobi World music in Mega Anser

Just thought I should share something interesting I just discovered: "Mega Anser" was an accessory for the Sega Mega Drive which gave access to an online banking system in Japan and required a modem. Of course this does not work today, but the ROM from the cart you needed to let your Mega Drive turn into a bank has been dumped. I just tried it now, and noticed it uses some familiar music - "Where have I heared this before?" I thought for a few seconds, before realizing it's from "Alex Kidd in Shinobi World", the third level I think.

The music comes from the 4th level of game. It's like a case that Air Rescue (SMS) Demo music uses the same Title Screen music from Pat Riley Baksteball (MD). And in Aerial Assault (GG), when you select the players, you may hear the Foul music in the Pat Riley Basketball (SMS).

While banking from a console isn't too unusual (precursor to modern mobile banking), presenting it with various dittys from game music would make it hard to take the platform seriously.
