How could such a great game's best music be so similar to music from such a bad game? Mash-up video not made by me.

Didn't think it was that similar other than the intro.
Besides this is subject to experimenter bias, we know what we are looking for therefore we are more inclined to hear it.

This.
These two didnät sound similar at all...
Sure, they sounded good together, but not similar.

Go to the Cheetahmen theme at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZlYGN5W ... re=related or the Cheetahmen 2 theme at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM21zfxMqhc and listen to the part from 0:44 to 1:14. It sounds kind of similar.

Nah 0:44-0:51 maybe but that's because it sounds like the intro...like we said.

Not really similar otherwise I think
Out of curiosity who are the Cheetahmen?

Thanks to the Angry Video Game Nerd (who has hilarious cursing-filled rants on how bad certain old video games are), I know that the Cheetahmen are from a horrendous NES game collection called Action 52. Action 52 contains 51 horrible games and 1 bad one, with the one that's merely bad being the Cheetahmen one. The game-makers apparently thought that the Cheetahmen would actually become a competitor to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that would have merchandise and maybe a TV show. I must admit, musically, they did pretty well for 8-bit. There was an unreleased Cheetahmen sequel, and an Action 52 for Genesis, for a total of three Cheetahmen games. The plot of the first one is that a kid got sucked into the Cheetahmen's world and they went to fight for him for some reason. There are three Cheetamen. The plot of the second one is some mad scientist creating a gorilla or something. The third one has no plot.
