From Banjo Guy Ollie:

Here’s another one from Ninja Gaiden. I had actually started working on this one about a year ago but since the entire theme revolves around some repeating patterns I never felt there was enough substance for a proper long cover with it. Getting the hurdy gurdy sort of changed that altogether though so I decided to dig out my “old” draft and see if I could flesh it out and use the new toy. I started from a simple background accompaniment on the hurdy and then added the little melody hook in the middle of the arrangement . Then I though, heck, why stop there ? So I went out and fleshed it out even more and added as many harmonies on just as many different instrument and … well here’s the end result :)

Here’s the original theme for comparison purposes:
