Get ready for an all-time low-flying adventure! Unused Superman Theme Song from the movie found in a videogame!

Brace yourself and prepare to for a rough landing! Try not to hit a tree... or a parked car while playing this game.

The Game Boy and N64 versions of Superman is based off the well-known franchise. I think the game developers were hit in the head with a chunk of kryptonite by someone before they designed the games.
MAAAANY people are familiar with the universally famous original Superman theme song, but not many are well-versed with the fact that the Game Boy game actually has a fully composed version inside the game's code.

 Elmar Krieger arranged this version and I don't know why he didn't use it as the title screen since it would have been a better fit. My guess is that this was intended for an ending but the game does not have a proper ending and instead shows a generic "Congratulations! message with the stage clear theme playing.Why was this not used? The world may never know, and you can't spin the world in reverse to turn back time and find out.
The surprise does not end here! There is additionally an unused jingle.

Editor's note: I have no plans to review this game because we all know how notoriously awfulness all of the Superman and Titus games. The only worthwhile portion of the games (at least by Elmar Krieger) are the music and the Super Game Boy borders; the other game is The Quest for Camelot with a border.
