one of my favorite '90s shareware games is all classical music run through MIDI and punching chittering wood lice

There’s tons more Parodius, that’s just the first one I found.

Super Mario World’s Ghost House music has an ostinato (well, several, depending on the underlying chord) that seems to be a metrical inversion of the cadenza for Chopin’s Nocturne in E flat Major, Op. 9 No. 2

^ Timestamped shortly before the cadenza

^ Super Mario World, Ghost House, Koji Kondo
