The title music begins with a heavily remixed version for about 1 minute before beginning the original music. Metroid: Zero Mission, being a remake of the first game, also features music from the original, albeit remixed to take advantage of the superior GBA audio chip. The American region digital releases on the Nintendo 3DS, Wii and WiiU emulate the original Metroid also use this song. The original Metroid was also released on the GBA as part of the "Classic NES Series" which emulates the NES audio and sounds essentially the same as the original. This same version of the song was also used by the later Famicom cartridge release and the Pla圜hoice-10 arcade release. It's a pretty good job, but the missing channel does leave the song sounding less robust. He did this by making the first pulse wave mimic the wave synthesis channel, and by having the second pulse wave perform more duty than it had in the original. Since the Famicom Disk System was not released in the US, Hirokazu Tanaka had to arrange the music to work with the NES's stock RP2A03 audio chip. On the NES, the song plays the moment the cartridge loads until the player presses start to get to the start/password menu. The original Japanese Famicom Disk System game incorporated the additional audio channel, but the US port on the NES did not. Tanaka had to arrange two different versions of the song for the game's initial release. It begins with a series of long bass notes then expands into a more complex sequence before ending with another series of long bass notes, even more repetitive than the first. Hirokazu Tanaka composed Metroid's title music in three main sections. "Title BGM" appears to have become the de facto standard for title music on Nintendo soundtracks, which is why the VGMPF uses it for the official title. However, since 2004, subsequent appearances of the song on official soundtracks use the title タイトルBGM (Title BGM). The first official soundtrack to feature a title for this song was in 1987 with the title タイトル音楽 (Title Music), but in 1994, it was released as just タイトル (Title).
