How to Put Music Into Stages for MUGEN

Though MUGEN's design is based on the classic 2D fighting game conventions, the game sets itself apart from other games by allowing users to customize virtually every aspect. Users can create custom characters and stages, or simply edit MUGEN's preloaded content. And if you have a song that fits perfectly with a MUGEN stage, you can use it as the stage's soundtrack.

  Open the folder containing your installation of MUGEN, then open the "Sound" folder inside it.
