Track #2 is used for the less typical levels (A Craggy Cliff, A River Bank, and A Small Town) where the action resembles shooters (the player has some control over motion, but the general movement is one one direction). Until the player enters the castle grounds, this rule is applied everywhere except for A Stone Wall, which has its own music. Once inside the castle, the music seems to alternate between track #2 and the wall music.
