Killer Cuts is a soundtrack
album
released and packaged with the video game Killer Instinct
on the Super Nintendo
in 1995; many of the tracks were arranged and included the character's theme songs in addition to the songs featured in the fighting
stages. Although exclusive to the pack-in with the game, it could be bought via the Nintendo Power
magazine catalog.
To date, the album is difficult to find, as it wasn't sold in stores or distributed massively beyond being included with Killer Instinct.
It is not known to this date why Nintendo or Rare decided to do this, but it was common for
most to simply take the CD out after the 15th track. There is an issue of Nintendo Power that revealed the hidden track #30 with the Humiliation theme.
