Title Theme - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi'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

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't love some smooth sax?

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's athletic theme sounds

Funky Dealer - Jet Set Radio Future (2002, Xbox)
hideki naganuma is one of my favorite composers of all time, and this won't be the last time you see his music in this thread. so have this standout song of his from JSRF

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's some good shit

8. Blitz It! - Splatoon 2 (2017, Switch)
splatoon counts, right? either way there's no way i wouldn'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

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

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.

12. Don’t Ever Forget… - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky (2007, DS)

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

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

17. The Field of Hopes and Dreams – DELTARUNE (2018 (technically), PC, Switch)

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'm weirdly drawn to this one

21. Calamari Inkantation – Splatoon (2015, Wii U)
funny thing about this one, it comes from splatoon 1 but that isn't the game i associate this particular frustration with. anybody who has played splatoon 2's octo expansion will understand

23. Let’s Go Easy – Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (2003, GCN)
if you haven'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
