Song Connections / Remixes[]
- MAKE A JAM! is an extended rearrangement of the KONAMI "walking" logo jingle, heard in Japanese region console games from 1994 to late 1998, before KONAMI changed their logo from being in an Italic font to a bold one in November 1998. This is most notable in the very beginning and ending of the song.
