Hm. I wouldn't have caught it if you hadn't pointed it out. I guess it's because Mr. Rollins's version is so much more staccato. But there it is.
"Chill" still sounds groovy.

I am surprised no one at Berklee College of Music has pointed that out, since it is a predominantly jazz-oriented school and so many students are video-game obsessed. So now I'm gonna point it out and make myself look really cool. LMAO

nice tease-- it's there, plain as day :-)
sweet mix of the Dr. Mario song too. I've tried similar stuff, with almost no success. (he probably more than a digi-8 track and xbox full of nes roms to work with though ;-) )
Oh, but the penultimate Dr. Mario mix (and one of the finest video game remixes I have ever encountered) is Virt's "Funky Pills". Get it from http://virt.vgmix.com/index.php?page=arrange .
I say "penultimate" because someday someone is going to make a remix that includes the extra coda from the Game Boy version of "Fever", and I shall be in ecstasy.

The second I mentioned this topic to my boyfriend on the phone, he miraculously started playing one of the motives from Chill. Just me talking about it spurred something in his brain and poof, it came out on the guitar. That is crazy.

Coincidence?
Well, yes, of course.

So I was watching a video of City Connection yesterday, and one of the comments (they can be useful occasionally) pointed out that the cat-hitting music was something called The Flea Waltz, or Neko Funjatta ("I stepped on the Cat") in Japanese. This is, of course, one of the jingles used in Dr. Mario to alert you to an incoming attack.
The other jingle I immediately recognized long ago as derived from Frere Jacques, but I assume everyone knows that.

Oh, there are other threads. I was thinking of Dr. Mario in particular.

On that note, I've been playing Paper Mario lately and I can't help but think that some of the music is just a teensy bit reminiscent of that Rollins riff. Tanaka was not the composer, however; that was Tusjiyoko – who was, however, influenced by Tanaka.
