“Duh nuh nuh naaaaaah! Dun nuh nuh naaaaah! Dun nuh nuh naaaah!….”
The early sneaking into the castle during the rain music from the beginning of A Link to the Past?
The entire Megaman 2 soundtrack.
Double Dragon
Punch Out
Ocarina of time - lost woods
Easily Mythic Power from Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Especially in the context in-game the track is first dropped, it’s incredible.
There are a lot of good songs, but today I will pick Megalovania by Toby Fox. https://youtu.be/KK3KXAECte4
I’m a fan of this banger myself
Tristram from Diablo
Guile’s theme from Street Fighter 2
they still play in my head regularly, 30 or so years later
Mick Gordon and Tex Perkins track from Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, called The Partisan. Fantastic end piece to the game.

Later found out it’s steeped in history as it’s a cover/adaptation of a 1943 anti-fascist song written in French by Russian-born Anna Marly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Marly
I have a Mick Gordon from Doom in my regular playlist
Cassette Beasts OST is amazing. “Wherever we are now” is probably my favorite.
I remember the Re/Volt track. All their track kinda got me into electronic music growing up.
Vigil from Mass Effect. I think it’s the song playing when you first get the galaxy map, and playing that game and seeing the world open up while hearing that song really put me in a great mood.
Too many to list.
- Main theme from Assassins Creed Valhalla
- OST from both Ori games. Seriously, they’re all awesome
- OST from Journey
- Bastion Theme (and all other tracks too)
Bonus:
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Tetris
There it is… now I’ve got Tetris tune stuck in my head! Thank you good sir for this great gift! x)
Gareth Coker, Austin Wintory, Darren Korb, Chris Christodolou, and Lena Raine are the absolute gods of videogame composers. Honourable mention for disasterpeace and C418.
David Wise would like a word. And Koji Kondo. Also I hate to say it but Jeremy Soule too.
You’re right, all 3 of them were absolutely monumental in their haydays
To me it’s always been the B version of the original Tetris. This and most of Megaman X
The Boomer Kuwanger theme is a banger. This might be my favorite version though.
Dude! My most unpopular opinion has always been that b track of tetris was more of a banger than the version! I’ve received dozens of down votes over it!
Skyrim OST “unbroken road”. It fits the open world vibes perfectly.
Hard to pick just 1, so here’s a list of ones I deem notable from a few different games:
- 14.3 Billion Years — Outer Wilds
- Undertale — Undertale
- City of Tears — Hollow Knight
- Under the Eye of Kibenya — Heaven’s Vault
- No publicly available version of this one; but the game and soundtrack are good, so they’re worth a buy
- Private Room — Five Nights at Freddy’s: Sister Location
- Tiny’s Theme — Mario Golf
- Cleopactra — Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness
- Dive Into the Mellow — Sonic Adventure 2
- Fathomless Tomb — Deep Rock Galactic
- They Might As Well Be Dead — Risk of Rain 2
- xX_TF_CNS_FloatingBits_Mp3_Xx (Floating Bits) — The Finals
It’s a deep cut but I used to play a ton of The Incredible Machine as a kid and the Zydeco song has always been a banger.
Higher quality remixed version from the 3DO version
