Rainbowdragoneyes used Famitracker (8-bit) and Deflemask (16-bit) to create the music for The Messenger.^[1]
There is a "HEY!" sound effect used in several of the music tracks: Bamboo Creek 16-bit, Howling Grotto 8-bit/16-bit, Elemental Skylands 8-bit/16-bit, and Manfred the Sky Serpent 16-bit. This is a sound sample that Rainbowdragoneyes created by having the entire dev team yell "HEY" into the phone at once.^[2]
Rainbowdragoneyes is the one who says "Picnic Panic" during the song, "Picnic Panic Theme."^[3]
"Staff Roll (End Credits)" employs leitmotifs from several different area songs in the game.^[4]
