E-102's theme is so underrated. Hearing that song as a kid really had a huge impact on developing my musical tastes. Plus it fits so well with Gamma's more somber story. Sonic Team really needs to bring Gamma back, Omega just isn't the same 😢. Then again I guess the point of the story is Gamma is free now so I kinda get it.
@ Right, I don't think people realize what they say sometimes, I've seen people say they want Chip back, if Chip comes back that means Dark Gaia has destroyed everything, unless they just want a repeat of the exact same story as Unleashed.
15:29 I love that little advertisement type ending when you complete both stories and unlock the final story. It makes everything feel so grand and it has one of my favorite quotes of the whole series, “wishes are eternal”. It has such a deep meaning for being a part of the Sonic series. I hope we get a rendition of it in Sonic Movie 3 because that song was also in the Japanese version of Sonic X
OSTs I'd recommend: No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Mega Man 2 Shadow of the Colossus Mega Man X Katamari Damacy Mega Man 3 Silent Hill(1-4, Shattered Memories) Mega Man X2 Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Mega Man Zero(1-4) Final Fantasy VI Parasite Eve Mega Man X3 Also for an individual track: Yodeling in Meadow Hill(Tekken 6)
3 black noises was used in Sonic X’s Japanese dub as well during a few scenes but the one I’ll always remember is episode 68 after Molly dies to the Metarex and Shadow avenges her and gives the emerald to Rouge after her death. Such an emotional scene honestly 💔😭
Definitely on the same wavelength. Video game music was the spark the made me pursue a career as an orchestra director and composer. Heaven from Persona 4 is god tier for me. From Sonic Adventure 2, my favorites were For True Story, Throw It All Away, and Supporting Me. I loved all that dark, edgy music.
15:05 I just finished Sonic Adventure 2 and my God this song... it actually brings me to Tears. Such a simple song but conveys so much emotion. I first heard this tune in this video and I cannot wait to watch Sonic 3 tomorrow, I really hope this song is in the movie.
Unknown from ME is also by Kenichi Tokoi. I think you're a fan.😁 I'm a huge one. The rapper is also known from Parappa the Rapper. The singer, Marlon Saunders, did the song "That's How You Know" from Enchanted as well as other work with Sega including an a cappella version of Dreams Dreams for Christmas Nights.
One thing i love about ace attorney is the way it uses music. To emphasize certain moments music will stop but when you get back up the pursuit theme kicks right back in and its so good 😭
Every single song in this and all the references to other songs was like you took it right out of my phone lol. This was awesome. I do recommend the adults and kids versions of dreams dreams i really like them both
Man, 3 Black Noises.. Tokoi was really channeling Erik Satie with that one. I feel like it's really underrated as far as music from Sonic games go. Also because it's a theme so associated with Shadow, it really drives home how misunderstood of a character he is.
What a great list of music, you had some deep cuts with Pokémon Lucky Channel and Sonic Unleashed. Also I really enjoy how well you explain each song, good stuff :)
I can't believe how many songs you have that overlap with my taste, like at least 5 of these were songs I got absolutely obsessed with in childhood! Dragon Road, E102, Iwotodai Dorm (though Changing Seasons abit more), Heaven (the memories)...heck even the SiivaGunner YOU CAN CALL ME KNUCKLES, UNLIKE SONIC I DON'T KNUCKELS, I'D RATHER FLEX MY KNUCKLES (the amount of times I'd reference this with friends was unreal). Great list! I never payed much attention to Detroit's Ost when I tried it way back but that song definitely made me wanna replay it actually. NiGHTS shoutout shall be appreciated as well. Out bgm taste definitely align after this one, it's almost scary lmao Hell you even ended it with my favorite 2d sonic song (though future version is the GOATED)
What a great collection! Marble madness isn't one I would've seen coming but I i like it! Some of my favorites are: Mega Man 4 - Wily Stage 4 Chrono Trigger - Undersea Palace Persona 5 Royal - Gentle Madman 👍
Writing a comment from the iPad of my gf right now. Def on the same wavelength. I always thought that the station square theme of SA1 gave me some special kind of home feeling. Still feeling it to this day. Love your vids! Keep it up!
A fellow old soul! You've got the perfect ear for music. Every Sonic song you brought up I kept getting core memories of how those songs made me cry as a kid. I couldnt listen to 3 Black Noises, like I would shut it off the moment that piano started because that's how powerful it was to me. I also remembered the 100s of times I died in Dragon Road and nearly broke my friend's controller. 😂
I love your music taste, thanks for the recommendation, I'm definitely gonna download most of them, basically the ones that I haven't downloaded yet haha
I’m upset I hadn’t listened to all of 3 Black Noises before, so thank you for that! Melancholic piano just hits sometimes These aren’t from games, but I recommend checking out Amuro Futatabi from Z Gundam and Memories of Green from Blade Runner. Those are two of my favorite piano pieces from media that gave me a similar vibe. Great video!
-Mora the Spider from Ori 2 (especialy phase 2) -BATTLE B2 from SMT IV -Cool Edge Day from Sonic Unleashed (but also Jungle Joyride Day, Rooftop Run Day) -the whole soundtrack from the Inazuma Eleven series, it's impossible to choose only 1 -never let up! from Mario and Luigi -The Last Performance from Grime (its more the whole boss battle that has aura, the ost its only part of it) -Moon Theme from Ducktales
Just discovered your channel a few days ago I really enjoy your introspect on video game music! There were some obscure picks from games I've never even heard of and the selection of tracks from games I play (Sonic and Pokemon) are so great! I love that it's not the most popular songs but are still great and I'm glad that you shed light on some of these underrated bangers. I HIGHLY suggest you listen to the rest of the Unleashed OST if you haven't. I think it's the most varied Sonic soundtrack of the main series games with it being based of the music from different countries around the world. Also, listening to your thoughts on the Game Corner music from GSC made me think of the Battle Network/Star Force sountracks. Those games have a great sountrack full of upbeat themes and in Battle Network's case, they're mostly chiptune like old Gameboy games.
I'd like to bring to your attention Darren Korb's work on Supergiant Games. Major characters in the games have to be musicians to make sense of these amazing songs; I'm tearing up a bit now thinking of Orpheus and Eurydice singing "In the Blood" now. Also, no spoilers, but the second boss in Hades II is delightful on this score. Moreso on repeat trips after winning.
I can't get enough of your videos, you've introduced me to a fair share of great tracks and your musical tastes just seem right up my alley. If I could return the favor with one song selection that you may or may not have already heard, it would be "Color Your Night" from Persona 3 Reload. Freaking fantastic track with the leitmotif of "Joy" from Persona 3, with the heart and soul of "A Sky Full of Stars" from Persona 4 Golden. Thank you for the content
My favorite is Movie Game is Sonic Open your heart Absolutely. Rock and Roll baby Thunder, rain and lightning Danger, water rising Clamor, sirens wailing It's such a bad sign Shadows of dark creatures Steel clouds floating in the air People run for shelter What's gonna happen to us? All the steps we take, all the moves we make All the pain at stake I see the chaos for everyone Who are we? What can we do? You and I are same in the way that We have our own styles that we won't change Yours is filled with evil and mine's not There is no way I can lose Can't hold on much longer But I will never let go I know it's a one-way track Tell me now how long this'll last I'm not gonna think this way Nor will I count on others Close my eyes and feel it burn Now I see what I've gotta do Open your heart, it's gonna be alright 🔵🌀
There's always been something about the sounds from Atari's mid-80s arcade titles that hits like nothing else. The music, the sound effects, no one else ever sounded like it. And NiGHTs will always bring a smile to my face. The way the happiness of the little guys dotted about the place could affect the tone of the various instruments was always very interesting to me.
gamma theme is one of my favs too, the bass goes crazy. my other favs are summer air - roller coaster tycoon 3 history / extras - sonic mega collection whispering rock psychic summer camp - psychonauts rogueport - paper mario thousand year door (remake) want to be close - persona 3 reload
Gotta say, lots here I haven't been exposed to. Detroit was a game I kind of avoided after Heavy Rain wasn't my bag but that song is an incredible mood setter. Cornered from AA is genuinely like the biggest dopamine rush. Without it the climax of those cases would never feel as intense. I play Sonic Adventure 2 like several times a year and still didn't recognize 3 Black Noises. I think maybe most of the OST is so energetic and bombastic that it kind of drowns out such a beautiful track in most people's minds. So thanks for making me slow down and appreciate it. I refuse to acknowledge Unknown's rap portion as even slight cringe. It is indeed. The best song ever.
For the video about best music tracks from video games I’ve got a 3 recommendations. The first recommendation is green from go vacation. The second recommendation is go tell aunt Rhody from resident evil 7. The third recommendation is the whims of fate from persona 5
In my childhood whenever I played Pokémon Silver, I always ran around with the radio on whenever the Lucky Channel was playing! Good stuff. Generation 2 soundtrack was insanely good for just Gameboy font. 📻 🎶
Hope that one day you'll get around giving the NeiR Replicant and NeiR Automata OSTs a listen. I'm sure others have said it before but it's honestly one of the most impressive video game soundtracks of all time. Automata beat Persona 5 at the game awards for best soundtrack and it's absolutely deserved.
Gamma's theme is beautiful! Detroit was a new one for me, but def a jam. I encourage you to check out music from the Ys series. "Dreaming" from Ys Book 1 and 2 is a vibe.
Mario and Sonic at the Sochi games had some very cool remix’s and medleys. If you do another video like this, I recommend the Mario 3D Land Medley and Sonic Colors Medley
11:35 love this song but I think it sounds more triumphant then the feeling of being cornered. This plays when phoenix is one cusp of winning the case. Maybe it’s referring to how the opponent feels at that time 🤷🏾♂️.
playing & beating gamma's story hurt 10 y/o me as well. Something cathartic - with the sonic x anime, amy gets to witness his fate &, while crying, says "i'll always remember you !"
Gamma's theme shoutout is insane! Sonic Adventure's OST is always slept on, and Gamma's theme is surely underrated compared to the rest of the games' characters themes.
and we got not one Donkey Kong Country song in here smh I highly recommend the game to anybody who loves platformers. Might be the greatest 2D platformer ever made
Bless you and thank you for sharing your favorites! What would your favorite games be, and (I don’t know if you’ve answered this elsewhere but) does your dad play video games? Great Stuff, as always!
Amazing playlist, indeed every song is a banger. Pls check out "A Lone Prayer" from Persona 1, it's my favorite song in the whole series, but yeah, Persona 4's also my top game in the series too
You should MOST DEFINITELY check out Sonic Mania’s OST. It is a lot like Sonic CD but a little bit better, there are even some sonic cd remixes in there too!
You exist to like the same music I normally un ironically listen too on a daily. We are definitely on the same wavelength it’s kinda crazy, but amazing but abnormally scary. I draw too!
If I were to also create a list of favorites after being into gaming music for over 20 years now I would list (in no particular order): Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Rainbow Cemetery Octopath Traveler - Daughter of the Dark God Dark Cloud 2 - Moon Flower Palace Sonic Adventure 2: Battle - The Supernatural Gauntlet: Dark Legacy - Castle Courtyard Small Soldiers - Floating Fortress Gimmick! - Good Weather Kingdom Hearts 2 - Darkness of the Unknown League of Legends - Dark Cosmic Jhin Final Fantasy 3 (DS Remake) - Eternal Wind Minecraft - Clark Evergrace - Piercing the Heavens Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Silver City
Wouldn't say my absolute favorite, but very high on the list would be Ender Lilies - Lily. The whole soundtrack is amazing and definitely a recommend for anyone 👌
The Marble Madness song reminds me of Silly Pink Rabbit from LoZ ALTTP and I don't know why 😂 Nice Songs though I'm excited for when you make the list of "best vgm" because your community post got ALOT of comments and I want to hear your reaction to some of them
4 years ago I had no idea who Lyn Inaizuni, Shihoko Hirata and Yumi Kawamura were. Now they are my top three favorite female vocalists of all time. Lyn is my all time favorite singer. Period.
One of my baby cousins had an existential crisis when I told him that his favorite game, Super Monkey Ball, was partially inspired by Marble Madness XD
The best version of Dreams Dreams is the Adult Version from the sequel Nights: Journey of Dreams. You really need to check it out because it's a great vocal song. That said, I love this arrangement too. There's also a vocal version of this remix too. It's written by Tomoko Sasaki, another amazing lady composer from Sega. She is married to Naofumi Hataya who wrote most of the most popular levels from Sonic cd. You also need to check out This is My Happiness from Space Channel Part 2. That was written by Hataya and I like to think they each wrote their respective songs thinking of each other.🥰🥰🥰 Edit: Just looked it up and The Located Link version is also from the sequel Night: Journey into Dreams not Nights Into Dreams.
Unknown from M.E is a genuinely amazing song fr Cool to see a NiGHTS song in here :D I'd reccomend taking a listen to "Theme of a Tragedic Revenge" that song is goated
If you're into mid to late 90s house sounds in video games and such, I may recommend taking a look at some of the Street Fighter III series (New Generation and Second Impact esp. compared to Third Strike) in terms of music. They have some solid tracks that I think constitute some of the best soundtrack work ever done.
E-102 is one of my favorite as well tracks, happy it was mentioned. Lucky Channel is also underrated. There is an OCremix version (artist: Schtiffles) of it which is amazing, I think it managed to outdo the original - check it out Banger list
I'm just gonna put a random 20 Crisis City - Sonic 06 Unknown from M.E - Sonic Adventure Blackburn - Megaman ZX Another's Requiem - Mario&Luigi PiT Miracle Matter - Kirby 64 Deep Core - Sonic Rush Adventure Steel Station - Kirby Return to Dreamland (Wii version) Dark Pit - Kid Icarus Uprising Zant Battle - LoZ Twilight Princess Metallic Madness Bad Future - Sonic CD Wacky Workbench Bad Future - Sonic CD Launch Base Act 1 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles Crying World - Ristar Gravity - Megaman Zero 2 Supreme Ruler - Megaman Zero 2 What I'm Made of - Sonic Heroes Dame Demona Battle - Yokai Watch 2 Pokey Mean Business - Earthbound Cool Edge Night - Sonic Unleashed Urges - Dead or Alive 5
Hells yeah, Marble Madness kicks ass! Speaking of which, if you ever get to make another worst game music video, i could suggest the Sega Genesis version of Marble Madness by EA. That game’s version of the soundtrack is ear grading! Tho I gotta say, I believe it’s the 3rd stage music where I once said gives me a feeling of dread. Like when I hear that particular music, i think of getting a skin rash that only just keeps getting worse until your skin peels. lol

silvagunner shoutout is so real
Pls, listen to his version of "one winged angel pal-m" It is a Brazilian certified gem 😂0
@@MagicMikeXx As a brazilian, I can confirm, It's a gem indeed
The way I lost it 😭
For me, it's the Triple-Q version but completely get it, same vibes.
"The rap is giving "I'm in the house like carpet" LOOOL
PERSONA HEAVEN AND IWATODAI DORM 🗣
HECK YES
We got persona and sonic honestly that’s a sub from me. W taste
Sonic Adventure OST is so iconic, I can remember every single track and where it plays, they're all so good
the e-102 gamma theme charted on my Spotify wrapped and I don't listen to much video game music. Very well done!
E-102's theme is so underrated. Hearing that song as a kid really had a huge impact on developing my musical tastes. Plus it fits so well with Gamma's more somber story.
Sonic Team really needs to bring Gamma back, Omega just isn't the same 😢. Then again I guess the point of the story is Gamma is free now so I kinda get it.
Agree that Gamma > Omega but yeah the ending Gamma had was so perfect and left such an impact. 😭💔
It's in my top 2 SA1 character themes with Unknown from M.E
What?! Why the hell would you want Gamma back, that ending is the perfect sendoff for him, Omega is a good succesor to Gamma
@ Right, I don't think people realize what they say sometimes, I've seen people say they want Chip back, if Chip comes back that means Dark Gaia has destroyed everything, unless they just want a repeat of the exact same story as Unleashed.
Well the closest to Gamma’s return is Sonic Battle.
15:29 I love that little advertisement type ending when you complete both stories and unlock the final story. It makes everything feel so grand and it has one of my favorite quotes of the whole series, “wishes are eternal”. It has such a deep meaning for being a part of the Sonic series. I hope we get a rendition of it in Sonic Movie 3 because that song was also in the Japanese version of Sonic X
Me too! I remember seeing that little “promo” for the last story as a kid and getting chills! 🥹
@ I think it was also in the recent Sonic X Shadow Generations too when Maria got upset over seeing Shadow angry
Yeah, the ad was cool. They don't make 'em like they used to. So glad I grew up in the era that I did.
Omg Gamma's theme, you are such a real one. This list kicks ASS
You are damn near my video game music twin at this rate lol
OSTs I'd recommend:
No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Mega Man 2
Shadow of the Colossus
Mega Man X
Katamari Damacy
Mega Man 3
Silent Hill(1-4, Shattered Memories)
Mega Man X2
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Mega Man Zero(1-4)
Final Fantasy VI
Parasite Eve
Mega Man X3
Also for an individual track: Yodeling in Meadow Hill(Tekken 6)
I felt relieved knowing that you also like Silvagunner. Lol. My guilty pleasure as well.
3 black noises was used in Sonic X’s Japanese dub as well during a few scenes but the one I’ll always remember is episode 68 after Molly dies to the Metarex and Shadow avenges her and gives the emerald to Rouge after her death. Such an emotional scene honestly 💔😭
Definitely on the same wavelength. Video game music was the spark the made me pursue a career as an orchestra director and composer.
Heaven from Persona 4 is god tier for me. From Sonic Adventure 2, my favorites were For True Story, Throw It All Away, and Supporting Me. I loved all that dark, edgy music.
Very good picks. Sonic Adventure 2, Persona 4 and Ace Attorney all have really great music.
15:05 I just finished Sonic Adventure 2 and my God this song... it actually brings me to Tears. Such a simple song but conveys so much emotion. I first heard this tune in this video and I cannot wait to watch Sonic 3 tomorrow, I really hope this song is in the movie.
Pokemon's Lucky Channel's theme was my ringtone for years!! It's always a favorite of mine!
Unknown from ME is also by Kenichi Tokoi. I think you're a fan.😁 I'm a huge one. The rapper is also known from Parappa the Rapper. The singer, Marlon Saunders, did the song "That's How You Know" from Enchanted as well as other work with Sega including an a cappella version of Dreams Dreams for Christmas Nights.

I feel like it's really underrated as far as music from Sonic games go. Also because it's a theme so associated with Shadow, it really drives home how misunderstood of a character he is.
I love Erik Satie! That’s probably why this one stuck with me so much. And ofc, its tie-in with Shadow’s story is just so memorable.
You need to react to the sonic mania ost. I know you're gonna like it. Its my personal favorite game ost.
What a great list of music, you had some deep cuts with Pokémon Lucky Channel and Sonic Unleashed. Also I really enjoy how well you explain each song, good stuff :)
I love Located Link mix so much. It makes me so happy to see you listen to it
In great resonance with a lot of ypur choices, video game osts are truely a link between us players in a way i couldn't ever believe
5:27 The synth and piano duet is like the robot and organic parts of Gamma respectively.
I can't believe how many songs you have that overlap with my taste, like at least 5 of these were songs I got absolutely obsessed with in childhood! Dragon Road, E102, Iwotodai Dorm (though Changing Seasons abit more), Heaven (the memories)...heck even the SiivaGunner YOU CAN CALL ME KNUCKLES, UNLIKE SONIC I DON'T KNUCKELS, I'D RATHER FLEX MY KNUCKLES (the amount of times I'd reference this with friends was unreal). Great list! I never payed much attention to Detroit's Ost when I tried it way back but that song definitely made me wanna replay it actually. NiGHTS shoutout shall be appreciated as well.
Out bgm taste definitely align after this one, it's almost scary lmao Hell you even ended it with my favorite 2d sonic song (though future version is the GOATED)
Great marble madness track! I'm happy to see that track represented as it was a personal fav as well! Great selection overall
This whole channel is just good vibes
What a great collection! Marble madness isn't one I would've seen coming but I i like it!
Some of my favorites are:
Mega Man 4 - Wily Stage 4
Chrono Trigger - Undersea Palace
Persona 5 Royal - Gentle Madman
👍

Saw sonic adventure and immediately had respect for your music taste
The Sonic Adventure music and Ace Attorney stuff is amazing, Absolute head bob bangers
I’m upset I hadn’t listened to all of 3 Black Noises before, so thank you for that! Melancholic piano just hits sometimes
These aren’t from games, but I recommend checking out Amuro Futatabi from Z Gundam and Memories of Green from Blade Runner. Those are two of my favorite piano pieces from media that gave me a similar vibe. Great video!
-Mora the Spider from Ori 2 (especialy phase 2)
-BATTLE B2 from SMT IV
-Cool Edge Day from Sonic Unleashed (but also Jungle Joyride Day, Rooftop Run Day)
-the whole soundtrack from the Inazuma Eleven series, it's impossible to choose only 1
-never let up! from Mario and Luigi
-The Last Performance from Grime (its more the whole boss battle that has aura, the ost its only part of it)
-Moon Theme from Ducktales

I love your channel so much 💜
Thank you so much!! 💕
I am only familiar with the Sonic music in this video, but even so, you have good taste in music.
Thanks!!
The hostage shout out is so sick. I loved Detroit become human. I never had the heart to do the bad routes, but I loved the endings I earned.
I can't get enough of your videos, you've introduced me to a fair share of great tracks and your musical tastes just seem right up my alley. If I could return the favor with one song selection that you may or may not have already heard, it would be "Color Your Night" from Persona 3 Reload. Freaking fantastic track with the leitmotif of "Joy" from Persona 3, with the heart and soul of "A Sky Full of Stars" from Persona 4 Golden.
Thank you for the content
Thanks for watching!! I’ll have to check that one out 😃
Game Corner was a mad jam back in the 2000s. That hit. Especially nighttime Gold and Silver gaming on the Game Boy Color. Girl, you got fine taste.
My favorite is Movie Game is Sonic Open your heart
Absolutely. Rock and Roll baby
Thunder, rain and lightning
Danger, water rising
Clamor, sirens wailing
It's such a bad sign
Shadows of dark creatures
Steel clouds floating in the air
People run for shelter
What's gonna happen to us?
All the steps we take, all the moves we make
All the pain at stake
I see the chaos for everyone
Who are we? What can we do?
You and I are same in the way that
We have our own styles that we won't change
Yours is filled with evil and mine's not
There is no way I can lose
Can't hold on much longer
But I will never let go
I know it's a one-way track
Tell me now how long this'll last
I'm not gonna think this way
Nor will I count on others
Close my eyes and feel it burn
Now I see what I've gotta do
Open your heart, it's gonna be alright
🔵🌀
There's always been something about the sounds from Atari's mid-80s arcade titles that hits like nothing else. The music, the sound effects, no one else ever sounded like it.

whispering rock psychic summer camp - psychonauts
rogueport - paper mario thousand year door (remake)
want to be close - persona 3 reload
Aye, E-102's tune always makes me feel relaxed. The ending had me a bit emotional too.
Gotta say, lots here I haven't been exposed to. Detroit was a game I kind of avoided after Heavy Rain wasn't my bag but that song is an incredible mood setter.
Cornered from AA is genuinely like the biggest dopamine rush. Without it the climax of those cases would never feel as intense.
I play Sonic Adventure 2 like several times a year and still didn't recognize 3 Black Noises. I think maybe most of the OST is so energetic and bombastic that it kind of drowns out such a beautiful track in most people's minds. So thanks for making me slow down and appreciate it.
I refuse to acknowledge Unknown's rap portion as even slight cringe.
It is indeed.
The best song ever.
15:29 "Reflection" is the definition of melancholy and loneliness, it really is an underrated masterpiece
Good luck with the start up, may your business venture go swimmingly 👍
Wow you have an awesome ear!!! Amazing choices for all!
5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
OMG i literally hadn't thought of Marble Madness in like 30 years. That song brought it right back.
In other news, I'm old. 😅
having mentioned an sa2 track i think of the piano tracks from phantasy star online, particularly rose confession and the ending themes.
For the video about best music tracks from video games I’ve got a 3 recommendations. The first recommendation is green from go vacation. The second recommendation is go tell aunt Rhody from resident evil 7. The third recommendation is the whims of fate from persona 5
In my childhood whenever I played Pokémon Silver, I always ran around with the radio on whenever the Lucky Channel was playing! Good stuff.
Generation 2 soundtrack was insanely good for just Gameboy font. 📻 🎶
Hope that one day you'll get around giving the NeiR Replicant and NeiR Automata OSTs a listen.
I'm sure others have said it before but it's honestly one of the most impressive video game soundtracks of all time.
Automata beat Persona 5 at the game awards for best soundtrack and it's absolutely deserved.
The first time I entered the dungeon on Persona 4 and heard Heaven it was pretty impactful, I stayed still like 20 seconds getting on the vibe.
Gamma's theme is beautiful! Detroit was a new one for me, but def a jam. I encourage you to check out music from the Ys series. "Dreaming" from Ys Book 1 and 2 is a vibe.
Mario and Sonic at the Sochi games had some very cool remix’s and medleys. If you do another video like this, I recommend the Mario 3D Land Medley and Sonic Colors Medley
Dreams Dreams!?
Oooo sonic cd composer babyyyyy🔥🔥
16:38 this music/ost manages to make me cry everytime I here it
E-102 has been one of my favs since it came out. So good. Egg Carrier from SA is amazing too.
The Reload version of Iwatodai KILLS that one. But placing it as a favorite song of all time, I totally get.
Heaven is my favorite Persona track in the series, great picks overall!
Time for my periodic reminder to suggest the OST for The House in Fata Morgana. It’s so unique and heartbreakingly beautiful
11:35 love this song but I think it sounds more triumphant then the feeling of being cornered. This plays when phoenix is one cusp of winning the case. Maybe it’s referring to how the opponent feels at that time 🤷🏾♂️.
That NiGHTS into dreams song is unbelievable for 1996, the quality of the synths matches a modern jpop sound even, just an amazing sound
playing & beating gamma's story hurt 10 y/o me as well.
Something cathartic - with the sonic x anime, amy gets to witness his fate &, while crying, says "i'll always remember you !"
Gamma's theme shoutout is insane! Sonic Adventure's OST is always slept on, and Gamma's theme is surely underrated compared to the rest of the games' characters themes.
and we got not one Donkey Kong Country song in here smh
I highly recommend the game to anybody who loves platformers. Might be the greatest 2D platformer ever made

Bless you and thank you for sharing your favorites! What would your favorite games be, and (I don’t know if you’ve answered this elsewhere but) does your dad play video games? Great Stuff, as always!
Finally some recognition to E 104 gamma theme ❤
Fun list.
Please do a list with favourite viewer songs.
I like these. Some great memories. Some I completely forgot about
E 102!!! Another person that hears its mastery! ❤
Amazing playlist, indeed every song is a banger. Pls check out "A Lone Prayer" from Persona 1, it's my favorite song in the whole series, but yeah, Persona 4's also my top game in the series too
You should MOST DEFINITELY check out Sonic Mania’s OST. It is a lot like Sonic CD but a little bit better, there are even some sonic cd remixes in there too!
You exist to like the same music I normally un ironically listen too on a daily. We are definitely on the same wavelength it’s kinda crazy, but amazing but abnormally scary. I draw too!
exposure to the first sonic adventure's soundtrack at a young age has caused irriversible damage to my taste in music i fear
6:11 you don’t cry at Sonic games regularly…
*not me crying often just by thinking how cool Sonic and the gang are, at 34 years old* 😭😅☠️🦔🦔
Gamma legit is the best character in Adventure and his theme says it all
If I were to also create a list of favorites after being into gaming music for over 20 years now I would list (in no particular order):
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Rainbow Cemetery
Octopath Traveler - Daughter of the Dark God
Dark Cloud 2 - Moon Flower Palace
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle - The Supernatural
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy - Castle Courtyard
Small Soldiers - Floating Fortress
Gimmick! - Good Weather
Kingdom Hearts 2 - Darkness of the Unknown
League of Legends - Dark Cosmic Jhin
Final Fantasy 3 (DS Remake) - Eternal Wind
Minecraft - Clark
Evergrace - Piercing the Heavens
Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando - Silver City
Wouldn't say my absolute favorite, but very high on the list would be Ender Lilies - Lily. The whole soundtrack is amazing and definitely a recommend for anyone 👌
The Marble Madness song reminds me of Silly Pink Rabbit from LoZ ALTTP and I don't know why 😂 Nice Songs though I'm excited for when you make the list of "best vgm" because your community post got ALOT of comments and I want to hear your reaction to some of them
4 years ago I had no idea who Lyn Inaizuni, Shihoko Hirata and Yumi Kawamura were. Now they are my top three favorite female vocalists of all time. Lyn is my all time favorite singer. Period.
I'm an educator, so anytime I experience a triumphant moment, "Cornered" plays in my head!!!😂😂
I think you might enjoy Final Fantasy 13 - Pulse de Chocobo, based on what I've seen on your channel so far.
Im an OG. I like the Space Harrier theme. The Terminator soundtrack from the Sega CD is totally 90's awesome!!!
moral of the story, when Sega wants to make music, you just sit down and wait.
One of my baby cousins had an existential crisis when I told him that his favorite game, Super Monkey Ball, was partially inspired by Marble Madness XD
The best version of Dreams Dreams is the Adult Version from the sequel Nights: Journey of Dreams. You really need to check it out because it's a great vocal song. That said, I love this arrangement too. There's also a vocal version of this remix too. It's written by Tomoko Sasaki, another amazing lady composer from Sega. She is married to Naofumi Hataya who wrote most of the most popular levels from Sonic cd. You also need to check out This is My Happiness from Space Channel Part 2. That was written by Hataya and I like to think they each wrote their respective songs thinking of each other.🥰🥰🥰 Edit: Just looked it up and The Located Link version is also from the sequel Night: Journey into Dreams not Nights Into Dreams.
Unknown from M.E is a genuinely amazing song fr
Cool to see a NiGHTS song in here :D I'd reccomend taking a listen to "Theme of a Tragedic Revenge" that song is goated
If you're into mid to late 90s house sounds in video games and such, I may recommend taking a look at some of the Street Fighter III series (New Generation and Second Impact esp. compared to Third Strike) in terms of music. They have some solid tracks that I think constitute some of the best soundtrack work ever done.
E-102 is one of my favorite as well tracks, happy it was mentioned.
Lucky Channel is also underrated. There is an OCremix version (artist: Schtiffles) of it which is amazing, I think it managed to outdo the original - check it out

Hells yeah, Marble Madness kicks ass! Speaking of which, if you ever get to make another worst game music video, i could suggest the Sega Genesis version of Marble Madness by EA. That game’s version of the soundtrack is ear grading! Tho I gotta say, I believe it’s the 3rd stage music where I once said gives me a feeling of dread. Like when I hear that particular music, i think of getting a skin rash that only just keeps getting worse until your skin peels. lol
