The March to War is the march, used in some games from Wolfenstein series.

This gives the tune an very patriotic sound to Americans.

This music plays for the boss stages of four episodes: E1M9, E2M9, E4M9, and E5M9.

The March to War is track 3 in the game's data files, and the IMF meta tag title is "WARMARCH". The title comes from Bobby Prince's archive.

Bobby Prince composed the song using Sequencer Plus Gold.

Since the shareware files of Wolfenstein 3D DOS version are parts of the game, this tune is presented. But this particular track was not used, so we didn't bother to record it. It even would sound like original one due to the emulation.

Its metadata name is still "WARMARCH".

This music plays on level 9 for the boss stage of Gans Grosse. This version is simular to the DOS, but the music was recorded into OGG. Due to the different emulator, drum sound differs slighty.

Just as it was in original version, this track plays on level 9. However, it was downgraded to somewhat inferior YM2612 chip from original YM3812. But because porter was enough skilled programmer, the difference is almost insencible.

Interestingly, GASEGA98K decided to skip the second bar, thing that was not done in previous versions. Possibly he wanted to save some space in ROM for other features, or just thought that it would sound better when "remixed".
