Catchiest video game music

[UberHere]

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.

Parappa is a underrated gem. The amount of time I spent on that level and the driving level was crazy just to jam out.

This ones a banger

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.

The Streets of Rage video games have a lot of good music.

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




This is masterpiece composition right here

Anyone get into Mario Paint? People have done really cool things with their music composer.

Another fantastic soundtrack

This one used to get into my head

Level 1-2 in Super Mario Bros.

Everybody born between 1975 and 1990 should have that burned into their brain!

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