@cuccojiro and @lucian_4g made the grave mistake of making me aware of this so i will also be participating
(will also be catching up with the day of the month so sorry for the spam)

Title Theme - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi& #39;s Island (1995, SNES)
title screens kinda suck nowadays, huh? I love how the song slowly fades in following the calming sounds of the crashing waves, definitely one of my all-time favorite title screens https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JcmagOl8cI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Super Bell Hill - Super Mario 3D World (2013, Wii U)
sets a strong tone for the rest of the game, which is a jovial jaunt jam-packed with banging tunes. and who doesn& #39;t love some smooth sax? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFxzHKx1BYQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Athletic - Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988, NES)
look i know this is my third mario song in a row but there are very few 8-bit OSTs i actually enjoy. smb3 just happens to be one of them. i just love how hyperactive and playful smb3& #39;s athletic theme sounds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT5nfQJP40Y">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Funky Dealer - Jet Set Radio Future (2002, Xbox)
hideki naganuma is one of my favorite composers of all time, and this won& #39;t be the last time you see his music in this thread. so have this standout song of his from JSRF https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSfGxCq29uk">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Delfino Plaza - Super Mario Sunshine (2002, GCN)
the first song that comes to mind when i think "hub world" and definitely one of those songs that& #39;s deeply engraved in my childhood memories. also sms is way better than galaxy dont @ me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3tkgU0pQmQ">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Clocktowers Beneath the Sea - A Hat in Time (2017, PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch)
one of the only songs that can consistently calm me down. i dont really have much to say about it other than close your eyes and listen, it& #39;s some good shit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drT1uOViuz4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

7. Umemoto – VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action (2016, PC, PS4, PSVita, Switch)
please play VA-11 HALL-A yall, it& #39;s one of the most stylish and compelling visual novels i& #39;ve ever played. the ost is full of bangers, this one being one of my favs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LiTxlhMMrI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

8. Blitz It! - Splatoon 2 (2017, Switch)
splatoon counts, right? either way there& #39;s no way i wouldn& #39;t put splatoon in this thread. i hardly give enough appreciation to the regular battle themes, so have what i think is my favorite one between both games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-bO053Bc4I">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

9. Bikini Bottom – SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (2003, PS2, Xbox, GCN)
i just had to. this is like the only good licensed game that exists. this song in particular is pretty nostalgic, and i think it perfectly captures the spongebob vibe https://youtu.be/3BE1i4cs1Hw ">https://youtu.be/3BE1i4cs1...

10. Mass Destruction – Persona 3 (2006, PS2)
BABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABYBABY
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jFaoLrLzd4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

11. The Friendly Faith Plate – Portal 2 (2011, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
Probably my favorite puzzle game that people never really talk about the OST for, which (while understandable) is a crime. Most of the songs are really ambient, but this is a fun exception. https://youtu.be/eKZQJMpBuf4 ">https://youtu.be/eKZQJMpBu...

12. Don’t Ever Forget… - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky (2007, DS)
i have a pavlovian response to this song, which is uncontrollable sobbing. i have many songs like this one, but this song in particular affects me the most https://youtu.be/5oMi9H74pjE ">https://youtu.be/5oMi9H74p...

13. One Nightbreak – Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight (2018, PS4, PSVita)
i dropped $60 on this and regret it every day. most of the OST also straight up blows as opposed to p4dan, but one nightbreak makes it worth it. easily a top 10 persona song for me https://youtu.be/NSeRtb2QoAs ">https://youtu.be/NSeRtb2Qo...

14. Heaven – Persona 4 (2008, PS2)
everybody gangsta til the dungeon has lyrics
they did good pulling this song for arguably the most emotionally charged dungeon in p4. give it a listen, it may be my favorite song from p4 overall https://youtu.be/CVLH5V6YvOI ">https://youtu.be/CVLH5V6Yv...

15. Counterattack: Battle With The Colossus – Shadow of the Colossus (2005, PS2, PS3, PS4)
my favorite boss battle song from sotc and it only plays like twice

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Pensive face" aria-label="Emoji: Pensive face">i recommend the entire sotc soundtrack if you want a playlist for like literally anything https://youtu.be/G35Ahd6V2pM ">https://youtu.be/G35Ahd6V2...

16. Overworld Theme – Super Mario World (1990, SNES)
super mario world is without a doubt my favorite 2d mario game and this is the first song that comes to mind when i think of it. the tune at the beginning never fails to make me smile

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😊" title="Smiling face with smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with smiling eyes"> https://youtu.be/tAaGKo4XVvM ">https://youtu.be/tAaGKo4XV...

17. The Field of Hopes and Dreams – DELTARUNE (2018 (technically), PC, Switch)
i could listen to this song for fucking hours and never get tired of it. toby fox is a madman. between undertale and deltarune, i think this is my all time favorite track https://youtu.be/ymNgfwgh1TU ">https://youtu.be/ymNgfwgh1...

18. Factory Investigation – Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (2000, N64)
one of the only n64 games i really clicked with as a kid, kirby 64 remains my favorite n64 game. the ost is filled with some great and iconic songs, but i& #39;m weirdly drawn to this one https://youtu.be/YAB0uPsSY8w ">https://youtu.be/YAB0uPsSY...

19. Lonely Rolling Star – aivi & surasshu (originally from Katamari Damacy (2004, PS2))
aivi and surasshu are best known for their compositions in steven universe. they also did a chiptune/piano cover of my favorite song from katamari damacy. i am thriving https://youtu.be/Z8i-St-LIow ">https://youtu.be/Z8i-St-LI...

20. Rainbow Road – Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (2003, GCN)
MKDD has the best rainbow road both in map and music don& #39;t you dare @ me you cannot change my mind
another one in the pile of nostalgic vgm from my childhood https://youtu.be/FHdEjH_7YY8 ">https://youtu.be/FHdEjH_7Y...

21. Calamari Inkantation – Splatoon (2015, Wii U)
funny thing about this one, it comes from splatoon 1 but that isn& #39;t the game i associate this particular frustration with. anybody who has played splatoon 2& #39;s octo expansion will understand https://youtu.be/abXjYrCqan0 ">https://youtu.be/abXjYrCqa...

22. Rogueport – Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (2004, GCN)
feel like pure shit just want her back https://youtu.be/iTYnay4WYTI ">https://youtu.be/iTYnay4WY...

23. Let’s Go Easy – Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (2003, GCN)
if you haven& #39;t listened to any other song in this thread, please at the very least listen to this one. billy hatcher is woefully underappreciated, almost as much as its OST https://youtu.be/sUnewSqqdBA ">https://youtu.be/sUnewSqqd...
