This video compares the music track “Sky Castle” from “Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride” across the Super Famicom, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and smartphone versions. It also features a remix using all four versions.

By request, here's a Dragon Quest V track after a while—thanks for waiting!

Like “The Royal Castle” from DQ2, this beautiful song evokes Bach's “Air on the G String” (Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068, 2nd movement), perfectly capturing a celestial world.

For this remix, I based the arrangement on the Super Famicom version. The other versions have a slower tempo and more dramatic shifts, so syncing them was a challenge. I hope you enjoy both the comparisons and the remix!

※About the “Compare & Remix” Series

These videos focus on comparing original game tracks with different platform versions. I also create remixes (mashups) using these sources to highlight differences and bring out new sounds—all within the same game title to keep things focused and high quality. Thanks for understanding!
