The song plays during the docking sequence.
David Whittaker wrote the music in 6502 assembly macros in his sound driver. David originally wrote the music in the key, but because the North American NES plays at 60Hz instead of Europe's PAL 50Hz, the music plays a little faster and plays 1 1/4 steps sharp. An NTSC version of the song is recorded for this site, as an NTSC version was intended for release in North America, but the developers could not find a publisher for the game in North America.
