Revision as of 21:07, August 15, 2023 by Sticklyman (talk | contribs) (I'm pretty sure the arrangements in Tetris Attack are of different themes than what the article is talking about - the Yoshi's Island title theme for SNES Tetris Attack's title, and the YI story intro for Tetris Attack GB's credits. (I still think those particular themes should get their own pages though, as they also get arranged a lot, especially the former.))
