My first video game experiences (besides arcade Pac-Man and Frogger) was the old school NES. Some of those old 8 bit tunes were catchy as fuck. I’m 45 now and tunes from Contra and Castlevania 2 Simon’s Quest still run through my head. Don’t think I’ve played those since I was in 4th grade. Castlevania 3 and Mega Man (all of them) myst be mentioned as well.

For Super Nintendo, without a doubt is Final Fantasy 2. The dreadful fight and boss fight themes are very well composed.





















 
Uber, you created this thread without the original Super Mario Brothers theme? Bruh....



Also, this thread has to have a theme from Street Fighter 2



There are plenty others but for now the last one I will add is if you played at any arcade in the 90's and played the X-Men game you know this catchy theme.

Mario 3 also.
 
I'll raise you that and say that Super Mario World was vastly superior. I would argue Super Mario World for SNES has the best Mario soundtrack of any Mario game ever.


Yeah this had a fantastic soundtrack. The echoing in caves was done really well for sound effects.




This is masterpiece composition right here
 
Catchy doesnt really mean good tho. I LOVE the elevator music (holy shit, elevator music?) In Y Tower in Streets of rage remake.
