It is strange that two opposite games (sword and sorcery platformer and air raid shooting arcade) have anything at all in common, but this two games share the same melody when it's time to confront bosses:

Danan The Jungle Fighter
https://youtu.be/jluyTaO2JmA?t=945

G-LOC Air Battle
https://youtu.be/nEImLdp_GSw?t=899

Were they developed by the same sound team?

Both games are Sega first party. A cursory search couldn't find credits for Danan. Wikipedia claims Hiroshi Kawaguchi composed the G-LOC soundtrack.

Interested. Adding some links:

Danan was thought as developed by Whiteboard here:

https://www.smspower.org/Games/DananTheJungleFighter-SMS

Whereas Sega Retro says Sega R&D2
https://segaretro.org/Danan:_The_Jungle_Fighter

And G-LOC was almost certainly developed by SIMS:
https://www.smspower.org/Games/GLOCAirBattle-SMS

Of course music composers themselves are more likely to be outsourced.

Danan was developed by Whiteboard, and there's official documentation to back that up. SMS G-LOC was developed by Sanritsu (which is also listed at the link).

Sega's Chikako Kamatani is credited with sound on G-LOC. She probably worked on Danan, too.

Didn't know about the lawsuit. How weird! Did Atari also report Ni****do for moving graphics on a screen?

Didn't know about the document, this is great!
Seems like there are lots of entries on our db we could rework accordingly.

Ax Battler says "Softarc" (?) while our page says Aspect

Incredible! Good catch.

It was easy. I played and completed G-LOC a zillion times in my youth, so I was too familiar with that melody. It took me only one time to hear it in Danan to realise of the coincidence.

As I mention, Aspect's president was one of the programmers, so I assumed it was them. But he apparently had worked for Arc System Works prior to starting the company, so "Softarc" may be a reference to them.

I also wrote a follow-up post on the lawsuit, talking about Arcade Classics for the Game Gear/Genesis.

I only remember hearing about Atari Games (aka Tengen) and Ni****do continuing to sue each other for a few years beyond the NES Tetris and Rabbit (lockout clone) lawsuits (until Warner bought them again and resold them to Midway), but I guess this was a separate matter above.

Wasn't SMS Arcade Smash Hits part of this deal of cross-conversions?

That came out a few years before and was published by Virgin.
