The SNES preserves the graphical and auditory experience of the arcade fairly well, which is good, because the arcade soundtrack is top notch. A couple of the tunes are definitely worth a listen outside of the game. The sound effects are also pretty solid. The sound of enemies taking hits from your shots is a very tight, bassy slap, and is a very satisfying sound, especially when playing in rapid succession as an enemy takes a massive cluster of hits.
