Video Game BGM Recommendation Thread. I& #39;m about to make a thread where I recommend some good music from video games. I urge all of you to reply with some of your own! Let the thread begin!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tbDJYUc0z0

Starting">https://www.youtube.com/watch... with my most obvious recommendation. This song plays at the beginning of every one of my streams and I adore its upbeat energy and its lightning fast shifting between all of the songs in the game. Probably a favorite of all time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI

Before">https://www.youtube.com/watch... Rhythm Heaven, this was my favorite of all time. Such a calm meaningful song that still gives me warm fuzzies to mark the ending of my favorite game ever made.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJiHDmyhE1A

This">https://www.youtube.com/watch... song is gorgeous and I don& #39;t hear people talk about it nearly enough. I doesn& #39;t play during gameplay, but it absolutely deserves mention for the incredible vocals, choir, and also being the first video game song nominated for a Grammy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP3rTrB5P2Y

Underwater">https://www.youtube.com/watch... themes have always been interesting. Most of the time they have a calm demure quality to them. However, Super Monkey Ball isn& #39;t a game where you get to have calm or demure and the music ramps up if anything. I adore it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW5olZjZZ78

I">https://www.youtube.com/watch... never had the chance to play the original Rayman games up until Origins, but from what I can see of the series, its vibes are heard clearly in what is the best part of the game. Its opening is unforgettable and it combines orchestra and banjo...somehow!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pTFLxeg6tg

I">https://www.youtube.com/watch... have always adored the Pokemon Gym theme, present since the beginning of the series. But in BW2, they individualized each track for each gym leader. And for Elesa, they sold a bombastic buildup over multiple trainers.

GIMME WHAT I NEEEEEEEEEEED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMH49ieL4es

This">https://www.youtube.com/watch... one is a classic. Katamari Damacy is a wild game and it knows it. Katamari on the Rocks leans into its completely wild nature.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVz5Ov3V4Sk

Smash">https://www.youtube.com/watch... 4 was an entry in the series. And I love every single main theme of every series. That said I frankly have NO idea how no one talks about this alternate version of the Smash 4 theme
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZOQ8sLO-vU

Call">https://www.youtube.com/watch... me an uncultured scrub all you want, but I barely have ever played any Final Fantasy. The only one I ever played (for a significant amount of time) was Mystic Quest, and this battle theme is burned into my mind forever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q57JfIz2Mg

That& #39;s">https://www.youtube.com/watch... right, I& #39;m including mods. Terraria is one of my favorite games of all time, and the Calamity mod brings it a step further. One thing that brings it to a whole other level is the soundtrack by @DMDOKURO with this one being a personal fave
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdkqBOWgS30

Star">https://www.youtube.com/watch... Fox 64 formed my childhood in a way, and while a lot of the music didn& #39;t really vibe with me as feeling a little standard, this was the exception....and dear lord was it the exception. The Star Fox Zero remake& #39;s inclusion of a choir pushes it beyond
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCHR4RtPot4

Another">https://www.youtube.com/watch... track early arrivals to my stream will recognize. EDGE is a mostly unknown game that thrives on its minimalism, and a lot of the music reflects that, being somewhat ambeint. This track is a noted exception, and when it goes off....it goes off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS4ItotDWY4

I">https://www.youtube.com/watch... know many prefer the organ of the original version of this, but I adore the violin and guitar playing the theme of this playful fighter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxNcKXjfaQo

just">https://www.youtube.com/watch... gonna put the ost of undertale in its entirety
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oaf2gUhy74o

This">https://www.youtube.com/watch... song is whimsical joy in a can. The swingy nature of it gives it a special aloofness, and the bubbly instrumentation halfway through lends it to be something absolutely from the Super Mario Galaxy series. What a fun jam.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WcyVvWZJU4

You">https://www.youtube.com/watch... have entered the sonic section of this thread. You can call it nostalgia all you want (because it is a lot nostalgia), but the lyrics are possibly the most Sonic thing that has come out of the series, I would argue more than his theme from SA1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxL_r-0VC1k

And">https://www.youtube.com/watch... on the topic of SA2, I know that I& #39;ve memed the shit out of this, but I wouldn& #39;t have done it if it didn& #39;t have one of the catchiest beats ever put to song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XFXoWTn9iA

It">https://www.youtube.com/watch... might not be Thursday yet, but Hideki Naganuma can create one hell of a groove.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZfFI8F7XSY

Speaking">https://www.youtube.com/watch... of Casino levels in Sonic games, there& #39;s something that& #39;s just inexplicably awe-inspiring about this track. It goes from a feeling of almost spacey fun for most of it, but then at one point transitions to a near chaos. Just like a real casino.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAx3hTZeyBw

The">https://www.youtube.com/watch... main theme of Sonic 06 deserved more than the game it was attached to. But going by that standard there wouldn& #39;t be many games to put it with.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkwhtdCW5rI

This">https://www.youtube.com/watch... is the best Zelda song by a long long long shot. There& #39;s something beautiful about the 3/4 strums on top of the pan flute just going off. It& #39;s so beautifully simple with only a few instruments. I honestly adore it and hearing it in BotW was a treat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk4uGUrM868

If">https://www.youtube.com/watch... you don& #39;t know what I mean, listen at the 30 second mark. (this one is also great)
Alright, that& #39;s all the thread I have for you for now! I may continue it later, who knows

Until then, feel free to post some of your favorite video game OST tracks! I& #39;d love to hear some that I may never have heard before!
