Music
There is only one song in the entire game and it only plays at the title and between the levels. Fortunately, the music is the theme song from the show. Like many other of Beam's titles from this era, the theme song is rendered at a sped-up tempo of 150BPM, possibly because this was the only tempo that earlier versions of Beam's sound driver supported. However, this isn't too far removed from the theme's correct tempo (130BPM), so it's less noticeable than in some of their other games.
The PAL version's music is much closer to the tempo of the original theme, and plays in the theme's original key of A. This is most likely how it was intended to sound, due to the game being developed in Australia, a country that uses the PAL format.

Gregg Barnett has been confirmed for programming the NYNTH sound driver. However, Gregg stated he didn't work on the game. Neil Brennan, Beam's earliest known composer, has also denied involvement with the game. It's possible Nigel Spencer did the arrangement, as he was a musician, but he didn't have any known audio credits for Beam Software.

Ripping NES music is a very arduous process that is beyond the scope of this site.
