Cool Video Game Music Thread

theres more but i dont want to fill this up with videos

My favorite music from Striker for the Sega Genesis:

I can pretty much say the whole OST of the console versions of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie video game adaptation, but here are a few standout tracks for me (you can listen to the whole OST of the Nintendo GameCube version here).



"Welcome to Planktopolis... Minions" sounds appropriately dystopian and effectively symbolizes Plankton's cruel takeover of Bikini Bottom while SpongeBob and Patrick were on their way to retrieve King Neptune's crown back from Shell City. It's also the perfect soundtrack to easily the hardest level in the entire game, with a lot of powerful enemies waiting to hurt you, plenty of tricky platforming, and you must absolutely master SpongeBob's wall jumping move and his newly acquired Sonic Wave Guitar move that you get at the start of the level if you have enough Goofy Goober tokens (which can be upgraded to a more deadly version that allows you to at least hit the more powerful enemies from a distance away, which reduces some of the headache from having to fight them).
It's a good thing you're allowed infinite continues because even as a kid, this level was tough!



"Bubble Blowing Baby Hunt" is easily one of the most epic rock tracks I've ever heard in a video game, and it's guaranteed to stay in your head once you listen to it. The level isn't too hard, since it's one of the earlier levels in the game where SpongeBob and Patrick have to get the car key back to the Patty Wagon back from a thug in the hut. Even as a kid, I would replay this level over and over again simply because of its incredible music.

That's all the music I have to recommend from this game.

Was this already posted here? Can't tell because this thread kinda lags on my end:

From now on, I'm just sending links to YouTube videos for the music because this thread is causing so much lag trying to render many YouTube videos at once (except for when I view my profile posts). Sorry if you wanted embeds of the videos.

Since I'm in a Kirby mood right now, I'm going to select the best music from his Nintendo Switch installments:

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe (2011, 2023)

A full rip of the game's soundtrack (Deluxe version) is available here with timestamps.

• "The Adventure Begins": A welcoming first track to the game where Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee head off on their first adventure together as a team to help Magolor recover the parts of his space ship, the Lor Starcutter.
• "C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Remastered)": An intimidating and badass theme for Magolor's boss fight in his second phase, and it sounds even better when remastered.
• "Mistilteinn, Tree Crown without a Ruler (Final Boss Theme)": An epic closing final boss theme as you fight the Master Crown as Magolor as he tries to atone for his misdeeds.

Kirby Star Allies (2018)

A full rip of the game's soundtrack is available here with timestamps.

• "Title Screen": A completely relaxing and friendly sounding theme for the game's title screen.
• "Nightmare (Remix)": The boss fight theme when you fight Morpho Knight in "Guest Star: Star Allies Go!" as Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight, is a cool remix of Nightmare's boss theme in Kirby's Adventure. 
• The Entire Void Termina Fight Soundtrack: Easily the game's biggest highlight and the music just makes the fight even more epic than it already is. Each of the links take you to the different themes of its boss fight (including the emotional ending cutscene, which I always clear with King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee as my allies) and it just amplifies one the best boss fights in Kirby's history of having epic final boss fights.
