** The [[https://youtu.be/NfQL6NE3cyo Freestyle]] theme in the first game sounds like [[https://youtu.be/jUayp5b-8wg "Digital World"]] by Music/TransX.
** The [[https://youtu.be/M0J0T3JWtXM Downhill Race]] theme is similar to Music/TheBangles' "[[https://youtu.be/Cv6tuzHUuuk Walk Like An Egyptian]]".
** The [[https://youtu.be/xt-X6-Kxm0Q Streets]] theme in the second game is similar to [[Music/{{Buzzcocks}} Pete Shelley]]'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HwmO_GZfzI Homosapien]]".
** Also from the second game, the [[https://youtu.be/9BaFKDcy04I Sewers]] theme is copied verbatim from the intro of Music/BlackSabbath's "[[https://youtu.be/-B8A1To_-8Y Under The Sun]]".
