By Mark Hadley

More than any other tune in Homestuck, this one feels as though it’s been pulled straight out of an NES game, circa 1990. That really distinctive triangle wave bassline does it, I think. Reminds me of tunes from old classics like Guardian Legend or Rampage.

By Michael Guy Bowman. Original “Harlequin” by Mark Hadley. Guitar by Joseph Aylsworth.

A faithful, almost note-for-note rock cover of Harlequin for most of its length. The bridge at 1:20 is more interesting, though, as it takes off into a little more freestyle solo guitar work.
