It was fine back then because it was still effectively a portable SNES.

But yeah replaying those games in modern time kinds of sucks.

I remember the version of Treetop Rock in the Donkey Kong Country port being crappy. I know limitations and all, but ugh.

It actually sounds better here in the youtube audio, but on the GBA speaker it sounded even worse unless it was just mine. You couldn't even hear the bass and so it didn't even sound like the original at all. Until looking it up just now I thought they switched it out entirely with something else.

Not quite on topic but it puzzled me how bad the music in Harmony of Disoance was. The fucking Gameboy Castlevanis had better music , even the shitty first game

The GBA sound capabilities just were not up to par with the SNES'.

It's because the music samples were compressed.
But the GBA sound chip is not good enough, but it isn't so bad if you hear the uncompressed versions of the game music.

Once you're aware of your own art, you can train yourself to identify and replicate the "good" ones...
And hands off the bad ones.

I view it as basically just an alternate take on the fog in PSX games.
