A very good mix of stage themes that utilize both environmental sounds and electronic elements to enhance the theme of each stage.

Danger Gulch uses sound effects and driving guitar beat to give of a classical western feel of the stage. It honestly just sounds like the soundtrack for some classic western movie.

Pier 47 has a very jazzy/funky vibe to it, utilizing trumpets, a funky bass and driving percussion.

Jungle Ruins mixes bird song and tribal-like motifs to fit the jungle aesthetic. Rubber Tree Falls uses similar tribal-like motifs to cement the same theme, but the drums are a bit heavier and the environment sounds noisier. The jungle drums, "hollow wood" percussion and tribal chants really brings this track together and makes it sound tense and hectic.

The Menu Theme is the most memorable from this soundtrack. A good menu theme has to be dynamic and not sound repetitive since you'll naturally be hearing it a lot while playing the game. Its mix of electronic and percussive elements gives of a playful and energetic vibe. The track seems to also be used in the background for the Steamworks stage.
