I listen to a ton of video game soundtracks while I'm working and this is ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD. Usually there's a lot of duds on the playlists, but this was a really solid selection of top notch music, with emphasis on great melodies. I guess I lock in with your innate sense of what makes a song great. Some great tracks I'd never heard before. Thanks for breathing new life into these forgotten gems.
I'm 32 and hearing the Chrono Trigger music I was transported back to the 90's in my childhood. I loved that game. Damn it, come back 90's :( CT, DKC, ughhh, getting older sucks.
Yeah the older we get the less time we have to play.... I installed an emulator on my phone so i can play nes,snes,sega genesis ,psx and gba when i have some free time.
Anytime I hear any game music from Dave Wise, I know that the song is automatically going to rock my face off. That man can do no wrong when composing game music.
Honorable mentions: Aladdin, Contra III, Final Fight, Gradius III, Harvest Moon, Killer Instinct, The Legend of the Mystical Ninja, The Lion King, The Lost Vikings, Ogre Battle, Out of This World, R-Type III, Rock n' Roll Racing, Shadowrun, SimCity, Super Punch-Out!!, Super Soccer, Super Tennis, the Super Star Wars Trilogy, Tetris & Dr. Mario, U.N. Squadron and Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
This collection really brings together the sound of the SNES, with all of these different games, one after the other, I'm really taken back to that era. The feeling of nostalgia here is stronger than it would be if I listened to each game soundtrack on their own, it's really quite incredible... And the moment Aquatic Ambience starts up, oh god, my heart just aches with nostalgia and bittersweet memories.
Whoa. It was rather fun picking out what songs to put on here, but deciding which ones you'd want to listen to multiple times and ones that felt appropriate for this wasn't that easy of a task though. Also, I'm pretty sure there aren't a lot of SNES soudntracks where you can assuredly say that each and every single song in them is great, with exceptions such as Chrono Trigger. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Michael "BMO with a Mario hat" Peterson.
Not even close. The NES is far and away the best and most important console ever made. The Genesis is number two. The SNES came out two years after the Genesis. Also, the audio always sounded compressed coming from the SNES sound chip. Both the Genesis and Nintendo sounded better than the SNES imo.
Nah man 8 bit age holds back the NES big time it's one of the most important sure but not best and the best sound the genesis ever had only compares to the top half of best SNES music due to its scratchy synthesis sound chip
@@devilzdandruff9199 NES was good but SNES was awesome. Games could be so much more complex with the added buttons. Graphics were way better without being too modern.
SNES is best imo It has so many good games I can’t even name them all Ex: Street Fighter 2 Turbo Doom (even though graphics weren’t the best) Super Mario World F-Zero(personal #2 Favorite) Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (personal #1 favorite) Super Noah’s Ark 3D (Just Kidding That One Was Awful) Super Metroid And So much more It’s just a very amazing console and will always hold a special place in my heart
Even though I am only familiar with a handful of these, playing this video through reminds me of why the SNES is so legendary. I'm only halfway through and there's not a single track that isn't amazing. Makes me want to get all of these games!
If there's any SNES song (or ANY song for that matter) that best represents my childhood, it's Terra's theme from FFVI. It's the song heard most throughout the game (other than battle music), and the game I have played the most in my life, ever.
Just wanted to say this got me through highschool what a bad time for me the first half was this helped make each day a little more bearable when we could listen to music in class
Excellent list. I was pleased to hear a lot of tunes that you normally wouldn't expect to. A lot of really good songs without pandering too much to the obligatory soundtracks.
1:02:27 - Lethal Weapon - Mission 4 - 25 лет назад поиграл несколько раз в эту игру, но именно эта музыка звучала у меня в голове всё это время! 25 years ago I played this game several times, but it was this music that was playing in my head all this time!
Im really happy I was born in the 80s so I could live through the NES to where we are now. So many great games from the old times and fun to see how everything has become. Still, a lot of the old games are golden even today. Though I'll probably miss the good part with really good VR :'(
When "7th Saga's town" begins to sound I knew this would be a wonderful selection overall, At that moment you got my Like. Shortly, when Axelay begins to sound you got my subscription. Excellent compilation.
@@randomrandom450I'm 4 years late but the songs in this video were just sorted by the game's titles in alphabetical order. that's why the video opened with 7th saga
The snes will be alway's my favorite system of all time with the greatest soundchip of all consoles from that era,it set the new standard and paved the way for future generation systems.
Solid collection here! Some of these tunes I forget are video game music pumping out of the SNES. Think I'll listen to this a few more times :) Thanks for putting this together!
Listening to this in the build up for the SNES Classic Mini, not that many of these games are going to be on the Mini anyway! Also Super Turrican 2 - Wormland' - what a tune!!
I always wanted to play _Ladystalker,_ (since I still greatly enjoy _Landstalker_ on the mighty Sega Genesis,) but, holy smokes, I never would've guessed it beheld such an epically blazing guitar track such as that of Fighting Dancer!!1! _Radical Dreamers,_ Day of Summer, is no slouch either.
Thank you for your compilation. You've made me decide that I will hack my Super Nintendo Mini so I can play eventually all of the games contained in your playlist.
Very nice, thanks for the beginning song of castlevania, its from the 6ht stage i believe, i think that is very well done but most of people forgot...nice video very good memories
This Song makes me see a City flooded in Water where people died from a catastrophic event with corpes around and me walking in the city seeing all this happed hundreds years before.
The Breath of Fire series composer also did the music for the SNES game Battle Clash. Awesome, awesome stuff, she's a very talented composer. If you like Breath of Fire's music you'll dig Battle Clash.
2:13:38 "Tetris Attack"? please call it with its name (Panel De Pon) ok no jokes aside, SNES music always brings me so much joy and comfort. sometimes i vibe with it, sometimes it makes me wanna cry all the tears i have. I sadly am too young to have grown up with this console, so the nostalgia factor is really low for me, but i still find the music extra gorgeous.
Did you happen to enhance the audio for this at all? If so, this sounds superb! If not, the SNES reigns supreme once again! Regardless, this is an excellent collection that shows off what the system was capable of in the hands of the right composers.
Dat Actraiser sounds like it belongs in Castlevania... Wow, where did Lady Stalker come from? Mr. Nutz...indeed. I must seek out this OST. *Sees NBA Jam* but not the title screen? *Sees next entry* *faith restored*

This is a unique list of some lesser-known but really great SNES tracks.
Some incredible tracks here. So many memories. And "Terra's Theme" has to be one of the greatest pieces ever made for a videogame.

The feels :/
Retro Fan unlike other kids I’m glad I’m still young
The Chrono Trigger port to mobile is quite good, I have been pleasantly impressed.
This gets me through hours of study every week. The music is just perfect... What a console.
Stickerbrush Symphony is amazing
Doom - Kitchen Ace (And taking names)
Best SNES song

+dan martin can you make a playlist of your honorable mentions?
1:22:07 Whoever made this is a genius! It doesn't even sound like it came from the SNES, maybe N64.
Ah yes the Follin's brother master of the limitation done it only 5 channels
Tim and Geoff Follin
1:42:15 Made the music for this game as well. Definitely the best part of it.
Some of the best stuff from those guys, just a shame Geoff passed away recently though
It's unusual to hear Plok in a best of :)
The greatest console ever made, and my first ever system. Such a great way to start, but games will NEVER be like the '90s again. I miss it bad.
Never too late to get into gave development and make the games you want to play.
Wish they cared this much still. If...
That Waterworld song caught me by surprise. Awesome track
This is by far the best video games music selection that I have found on TH-cam
Kudos for including an SNES Battletoads song! Good call.
A lot of heavy metal like music. Those synth-esque sounds are awesome

Word. The Golden Age of 2D gaming.
SNES is best imo
It has so many good games I can’t even name them all
Ex: Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Doom (even though graphics weren’t the best)
Super Mario World
F-Zero(personal #2 Favorite)
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (personal #1 favorite)
Super Noah’s Ark 3D (Just Kidding That One Was Awful)
Super Metroid
And So much more
It’s just a very amazing console and will always hold a special place in my heart
I'm very glad to hear 7th saga OST as the first song.
The Lawnmower Man theme is god tier my lord.
especially with those thumpers near the beginning. that's some good bass!
I read this message, then the theme started playing....spooky. 0_0
holy fuck, never heard this before, it's too good!

Jacob Trcalek What did you think of the rest of it?
electricmastro All great. I've listened to this entire list maybe 3 times in the past week. It's great music to study /do homework to.
@Jake Terch -- Did you ever end up trying any of these games over the past 6 years? Continues to be a great playlist
@@smrt-e not really! I’ve collected more them but haven’t found time to play them
My two favorites
The lawn mowerman - theme 58:22
Plok - beach 1:22:08
Actraiser - Fillmore 1:04
Same here.
I'm surprised Shadowrun wasn't in the video.
it has metroid prime sounds, did you notice? I'd say Kenji Yamamoto inspired from this.
looks more like three favourites to me...
le añado esta me sorprende mejor que la musica ambiental de dkc
2:22:21 - Waterworld - Buceo
very nice selection. glad to see shadowrun got an honorable mention, that game had a killer soundtrack for atmosphere. creeped me right out as a kid.
1:17:42 - NHL 96 - Title & Game Setup
Perfection.

If my childhood had a soundtrack, this would be it. Awesome. :-D
The SNES never disappointed with music. It always was higher quality than most now. And it was 32 bit! I miss having mine so much.
it was actually 16-bit, which is even more impressive
Ok Mr. Dan Martin I've listened to this literally over half a dozen times all the way through. This deserves much more credit!
I'm glad you included Forest Maze from Super Mario RPG. I've always found that to be such an amazing song.
It was either that, Fight Against an Armed Boss and Going Shopping In Seaside Town, but Forest Maze just fitted in too well with this.
dan martin Barrel Volcano?
Darchus08 It's not that catchy for this.
You should have put the minecart music in it.
Me here thinks the same! I love that song! It touches me so deeply.
whole thing is straight fire; the selection is sublime
Excellent list. I was pleased to hear a lot of tunes that you normally wouldn't expect to. A lot of really good songs without pandering too much to the obligatory soundtracks.
Oh mystic quest boss theme!!!is epic!! I'm gonna get my SNES out right now!!
21:21 always brings me back memories to those underwater levels and being hit by those damn puffer fish
Stickerbrush Symphony?
dan martin Such a sick little song
I was kinda disappointed there wasn't enough EarthBound music, but other than that, you have really good taste!
MY BOY BOMBERMAN MADE IT LET'S GOOOOO
The 7th Saga was an amazing game for me, thanks for the great memories

Fire emblem genealogy of the holy war , will always be my favorite snes game
Actraiser Fillmore is some true GOAT shit. Yuzo for life.
Actraiser 2 -Tortise Island.....Dem empty feels when song is playing.
This Song makes me see a City flooded in Water where people died from a catastrophic event with corpes around and me walking in the city seeing all this happed hundreds years before.
Cannon Fodder music cracks me up how they did it for this version.
Ah nice there's a spanky's quest song on here! (among a ton of others I adore
Mad props for including Mickey's Magical Quest. That game was awesome.
At 16:00 is pure blessing for your ears...

Respect for including Illusion of Gaia's Earthen Womb ^_^
thx for this great work of collecting this masterpieces :)
Now you're playing with powder!
I must have listened to this 20 times already, if not more.
There are some songs from Donkey King that touch my soul in a way most other music doesn't...how strange is that?
Thanks for this upload dude!!!
This playlist SLAMS love it
Love seeing/hearing some Breath of Fire on another gamer's channel. Not enough love for that series out there.
The Breath of Fire series composer also did the music for the SNES game Battle Clash. Awesome, awesome stuff, she's a very talented composer. If you like Breath of Fire's music you'll dig Battle Clash.
BoF 1 and 3 were amazing. BoF made the SNES for me, and BoF3 the Playstation. Well, that and Xenogears.
Great job! Thanx!!
And you did it right selecting only one song from each game. Otherwise FF3(6) would monopolize your list.
=P
My god! This remind me a lot! For me Snes represents the best felling i ever had in videogame history!

Can't believe that guitar in Lady Stalker - Fighting Dancer
the guitar was better in "beloved one" from fire emblem 4 damn tho anything on the snes with guitar is so good tho
It's the arranged version, the real version sounds bad
Opening up with 7th saga town theme hit me hard!!!!!!!
This is such a god damn long and epic mix!!!!
Kudos for having Radical Dreamers in that list
what about "the dream never dies" from tales of phantasia because it had japanese lyrics
Yay! Chrono Trigger! I Love that Game so Much! I Played it for Play Station 1 :)
Ahhh super nintendo. I miss the awesome songs they made for games back in the day.
An excellent collection.
I really like the selection from Plok.
Oh heck yes, lets start off with 7th Saga!
You can say whatever you want about FF Mystic Quest, but that boss theme was pretty badass.
needed more earthbound music in my opinion
Much more
One track from each game. It's only fair.
true
Dat Actraiser sounds like it belongs in Castlevania...
Wow, where did Lady Stalker come from?
