Updates:
1.01 - Fixed looping on Round 4-1 - Pre-Song - Intension.
Thanks to Codeman38 on the forums.
1.10 by Jackalope - Added Intension variants and
Du-Di-Da!! with Intro.
1.15 Added Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata as composers. (credits come from the OST)

Notes:
First and foremost, I'd like to dedicate this set to
Lillymon, probably the most hardcore Ristar fan out
there. This set's for her. :)

This set was intended as another Sonic 3 and Knuckles
stopgap, and it ultimately failed, with me ripping
about 4 songs before abandoning it. All files were
reripped in late July and the whole set was worked on
rather speedily, oddly like S3&K. (There was a fair
gap of about 13 hours though, so it wasn't totally 
done straight, unlike S3&K. Also because the few songs 
I ripped were done on an ANCIENT version of Kega Fusion 
(.1b) and I wanted them to be as accurate as possible. 
:p

Really choice music here, with some quite memorable
(and in lots of cases, hard to time!) tunes. With a
little more marketing push, Ristar could very well have
become a second mascot, kind of like Link is to
Nintendo. Then there's Pulseman... but that will have
to wait for that particular rip. :)

Opening Theme 2 has the Title Screen music in its loop. 
Yes, I could have ripped it seperately, but it doesn't 
have a sound test entry, so I left it as thus.

Round 6-1's music damn near hurt my ears. Round 6-2 isn't
fun either, but hey, I dealt with it for the five people
that want to hear those things loop for hours. :p

Ronud Clear 2's SFX are a bit distorted at the start
(Specifically, the "Shimmer" at about 1 second in.) Not
much I can do about it - it's either logger or sound
engine errors.

In theory, I could have ripped the Songs in Onchi Mode
as well, to beef the OST to 54 songs, but I don't think
a lot of people would want that, since all it does is
distort the normal song notes and sound really fucked
up. If you want to hear them that bad, enter the
password MAGURO at the password screen and go into the
sound test - I actually had to do this to rip the Ending
Themes, as they are locked without this code.

Outta Here.

As in my World of Illusion Beta set, I simply reused the
tags from the relevant songs, adding "With Intro" and
the like. Again, because of my lack of knowledge of
Japanese, I couldn't add these parentheticals to the
Japanese tags.

I believe NOT including the Onchi Mode songs was a
wonderful idea, by the way!
