Deep Into the Code, in the Game Boy Advance port of Doom, plays in the same level as in the PC DOS version, Level 18: Pandemonium. This is curiously the first song to play properly on a level where it should do without any "shifting" to the next song.
This is the only song used in a home console version of Doom. The other ones rather play different tracks like On the Hunt.
