These songs really made you feel the epic of video games, today there are few who really make you feel something. Video games are not just graphics, are feelings, memories, show us that there is always hope to reach a goal and you have to fight to the end.
It's nice to see a top 100 list that isn't the same things over and over for once. I swear to god, half these TH-cam "best of" lists, read like the same damn predictable list I've seen a billion times now. More to the point, the song picked for #1, is one of the most memorable tracks on the SNES...IF you owned a SNES and Starfox when it came out. The game was mindblowing, and the soundtrack kicked ass. Much credit given to you Holavoir for such a fun nostalgia driven kick to the ass.
I knew it!!! I knew Frog's Theme, Gang Plank Galleon, Forest Maze, Magus' Theme and Aquatic Ambiance and would be in the TOP 20 :D I mean, I didn't really know it, but those are pretty much my favorite SNES tunes! Although I'm disappointed that you didn't include Guardia 600 A.D. in here somewhere. Maybe you did in the other videos?
Yes!!! I was just listening to Space Hampster's list and throwing up in my mouth... And then this...well, this is just awesome. Fantastic selection of songs. Great list.
That was a really good compilation! Congrats! But in my personal opinion, i'd add something of castlevania and the vegas theme of top gear... Is very epic. trust me :)
I think it is awesome to hear other's favourite songs, it would be boring if everyone liked the same. The top songs for me are definetly found in F-Zero, Killer Instinct, Starfox (people often don't pay attention!) and not to forget Donkey Kong Country 1 2 and 3.. Donkey Kong truly had the best music i ever heard... once calm, once funny, once curious. and epic boss themes... Really put you in a good mood and atmosphere. Rare really put effort in their games. Good list Holavoir.
Nice list! Glad to see "Stickerbush Symphony" ranked so high. Amazing song! Would have liked to see more Super Metroid though, especially "Theme of Super Metroid" and "Brinstar Red Soil Swampy Area."
In my heart, Dancing Mad will always be #1. There's just so amazingly much symbolism squeezed into the final battle with Kefka, and a lot of it comes from, is emphasized by, or just becomes that more poignant and lucid thanks to the leidmotifs and themes of the music, that, imo, there's just no other way about it.
Willy Wars was a compilation of the first 3 Megaman games a bit updated on Megadrive, released in Japan and Europe only. It's a bit weird to listen Megaman themes with the characteristic Megadrive soundchip.
I was leasining thru the list and I got angry the there was no Starfox songs showing up. But I see you keep the best for last. :D Also, you should of put Gradius 3 Cosmo plant in there somewhere. Gradius III BGM - T13 "Cosmo Plant"
It's been well over a decade since I last played the final boss of Secret of Mana. Listening to "The Oracle" now, I feel like that song could have easily been written by Mike Patton
how good was the theme for Super Mario world? It's featured THRICE in this top 100. for those of you who never realized, Most stage songs from SMW are arrangements of the same theme
Ok, Corneria is really amazing and one of my favorites, but come on, #1? This is what it should have looked like in my opinion: #10 Clash on the Big Bridge #9 Gang-Plank Galleon #8 Dark World #7 Frog's Theme #6 Corneria #5 Terra's Theme (I can't believe it was just #21...) #4 Stickerbrush Symphony #3 Dancing Mad #2 Schala's Theme #1 Aria de Mezzo Carattere
Although I do love Corneria and it brings back many memories; Space Armada or even the orchestra version theme after you beat the space levels were actually better, overall. I know it's a personal preference, but I just wish you weren't so biased towards all of the other great SNES OSTs that were produced and left out.
interesting no.1 choice,indeed.although i never played the original Star Fox,i do like the tune.outside of that,this part of the countdown is phenomenal :) Schala's Theme,Aquatic Ambience,Dancing Mad....pure gold
Although I'm disappointed at #1 being Star Fox, I'm ultimately satisfied with the list as a whole. Especially since Dragon Quest VI and Illusion of Gaia showed up on here at all.
Decent list over all. But with all things, Music especially, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and as a top 100 preferences its kind of hard to see a structure for how you chose to rank them. However after seeing that Terranigma showed up on the list I was rather shocked that you did not have the ending theme here, i feel its one of the best the SNES could offer. However, these lists are always difficult for people to make due to the ravenous onslaught of viewers thinking they know best...
the #12 FF3 Aria song sounds like the same sound effects they used for Parasite Eve 1 when ever Eve was singing at the opera house. I can't believe they weren't able to improve the sound of someone singing since this game came out lol. Heart broken :(
I agree with most users... This is a list of good music, but not a Top 100 unless you have bad taste for music... #1 should have been something like Black Omen from Chrono Trigger, or Labyrinth from Lufia 2, something that has rich symphony composition... but Corneria music from Star Fox... it's just good, but never the best.
I'm kinda surprised by n°1. I never felt Starfox was famous for his soundtrack, it's really an excellent choice. I still think you probably just didn't heared any Area 88 (U.N. Squadron in Europe and NA) ost since I didn't saw a single one in your top 100. If you can, listen to stage 4 (desert stage). also, no Diving (waterworld). This song stands as the only memorable thing from this game and it's quite good ^^.
pretty good list,number one is well worth to corneria theme but for me,is missing castlevania song,they are great,just simon theme in 100 snes songs at least two more,like Blood Tears,Den,Bloodlines,Vampire Killer and Beginning.
this series was pretty good - a lil biased but if the games had good music they had good music- i didn't play all the kongs but you got the ones that i remember the most, guile 98, Lufia 2 (Lufia 1 still owns with the Sinistrals Castle), ff3/6 Chrono Trigger, MMX, SMRPG, SoM, surprised you didn't include BoF 1 or 2- um what can else can I say other than great selections- Rainbow road = awesome, Turtles in Time too, otha KI songs?, no Super Double Dragon? good stuff- good ol memories
@Holavoir These things always seem to be more about what the best games are instead of just the music. This just seems like you posted music of your favorite snes games. And I doubt you're gonna say that this is exactly the 100 snes soundtracks you think are the best in the correct order too ...and you noted yourself "and I used some other opinions of other SNES music countdowns"
I know you meant that question for that other guy but there was alot of certain games on there. and missed one that should at least be in top 25. CLAYFIGHTER. Also I think if you were doing multiple songs of thing you should of at least included Simcity village theme. Pitfighter too. I could go on and on. I like how you had Zombies ate my neighbors in there. Should included the main theme too.
Where is Mega Man X? Spark Mandrill, Variable X, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, the first Sigma Level, the opening level? Where is Earthworm Jim? New Junk City, What the Heck, Level 5, the level with the dog? I know it's tough combining all the games. Perhaps we could all make a list together.
great list, the starfox corneria song is the most animated music of the serie, but you forget the most epic racing game: TOP GEAR, and this error is terrible !!! now i recognize the song of wad manager 1.7! (FINAL FANTASY 3)
Yeah, i really hate it, that people want to listen to an expected song (go search it?), makes no sense!They are based on the author who probaly didn't play that or felt something else, didn't pay attention. Anyway, i appreciate your reply.
Sadly i didnt grow up with the snes cause im young 17 years old, but even i can see how gaming atmosphere ,gameplay and music is worsening or lets say heading into the wrong direction ( im talking about the mainstream )
It's never to late to play some of the old classics. Even if the graphics aren't fancy the gameplay that many of the old games offer will take care that you get addicted. :)
GamingPenis just get the adapter for the xbox360 wireless controller to play games on PC, download the Nesticle emulator for NES and ZSnes for of course SNES, you can find torrents of each with over 700+ games and enjoy them all with an actual controller.
falta super offroad, xmen arcade game, rockman & forte, prince of persia, evo, the adventures of batman & robin, captain commando, dbz... en fin harto chanta la lista, pero bueno que se va a hacer.
these are all dam good songs and its obvious that your an idiot also i disagree with like 4 songs and im pretty sure id majorly disagree with 95% of your "songs"
NES and SNES days (and in some ways N64 days) will never EVER come back. Super fortunate to grow up in the 80's
These songs really made you feel the epic of video games, today there are few who really make you feel something.
Video games are not just graphics, are feelings, memories, show us that there is always hope to reach a goal and you have to fight to the end.

Although I'm disappointed that you didn't include Guardia 600 A.D. in here somewhere. Maybe you did in the other videos?
Nice list and it's nice to see an original pick for #1.
#3 *instantly goes back to memory lane*.... I remember..when I used to play this with dad....
Yes!!! I was just listening to Space Hampster's list and throwing up in my mouth... And then this...well, this is just awesome. Fantastic selection of songs. Great list.
Awesome list! Thanks for bringing back great memories.
That was a really good compilation! Congrats! But in my personal opinion, i'd add something of castlevania and the vegas theme of top gear... Is very epic. trust me :)

Good list Holavoir.
Nice list! Glad to see "Stickerbush Symphony" ranked so high. Amazing song! Would have liked to see more Super Metroid though, especially "Theme of Super Metroid" and "Brinstar Red Soil Swampy Area."
I don't agree with some of these choices but #8 definitely belongs in the top 10, an amazingly beautiful song.
My reaction to #3: (never owned a SNES) ... THIS IS SNES MUSIC?! F****** AMAZING!!!
In my heart, Dancing Mad will always be #1. There's just so amazingly much symbolism squeezed into the final battle with Kefka, and a lot of it comes from, is emphasized by, or just becomes that more poignant and lucid thanks to the leidmotifs and themes of the music, that, imo, there's just no other way about it.
Is a Master Piece
Willy Wars was a compilation of the first 3 Megaman games a bit updated on Megadrive, released in Japan and Europe only. It's a bit weird to listen Megaman themes with the characteristic Megadrive soundchip.
and diddy kong country 2...amazing game. i still play it today. that was like the golden age of games really.
There's 8:23 and then 99 other songs in a distant second.
Idk why people on TH-cam get mad at others list. It's their list with their taste of music.
I am actually crying about #1. It is only #6 on my personal list, but soooo maaaaany feeels.
I was leasining thru the list and I got angry the there was no Starfox songs showing up. But I see you keep the best for last. :D
Also, you should of put Gradius 3 Cosmo plant in there somewhere.
Gradius III BGM - T13 "Cosmo Plant"
Aquatic Ambience gives me some major feels
Very good top 100 list, I agree with most of the choices. However, you can't have a Top snes music list without some Lagoon!
It's been well over a decade since I last played the final boss of Secret of Mana. Listening to "The Oracle" now, I feel like that song could have easily been written by Mike Patton
You've got to be kidding me with that #1... o.0 Well this is your personal list, and I respect that.
how good was the theme for Super Mario world? It's featured THRICE in this top 100. for those of you who never realized, Most stage songs from SMW are arrangements of the same theme
great work
great job! I Love this list! (=
no Super Off Road, Top Gear, Biker Mice From Mars, Blackthorne, Bloody Tears from Super Castlevania IV ?
Ok, Corneria is really amazing and one of my favorites, but come on, #1? This is what it should have looked like in my opinion: #10 Clash on the Big Bridge #9 Gang-Plank Galleon #8 Dark World #7 Frog's Theme #6 Corneria #5 Terra's Theme (I can't believe it was just #21...) #4 Stickerbrush Symphony #3 Dancing Mad #2 Schala's Theme #1 Aria de Mezzo Carattere
Although I do love Corneria and it brings back many memories; Space Armada or even the orchestra version theme after you beat the space levels were actually better, overall. I know it's a personal preference, but I just wish you weren't so biased towards all of the other great SNES OSTs that were produced and left out.
Space Armada, totally agree, made you feel like you were really out in space destroying an armada of hugh ships.
I didn't expect to like #1... but then it came on, and i was like, OH YEAH
interesting no.1 choice,indeed.although i never played the original Star Fox,i do like the tune.outside of that,this part of the countdown is phenomenal :) Schala's Theme,Aquatic Ambience,Dancing Mad....pure gold
Well deserved first spot, hells yeah!
Great video man, listen to the Cybernator game music called ''Staff Roll''
where are bloodlines and bloody tears from Dracula X and Castlevannia IV?
Agree. I miss music from Lagoon... killer OST.
Although I'm disappointed at #1 being Star Fox, I'm ultimately satisfied with the list as a whole. Especially since Dragon Quest VI and Illusion of Gaia showed up on here at all.
Where is lagoon intro?? It was amazing. That music deserved a place in your top 100. (Personal opinion)
For sure decisive battle no.1 track for all time on the snes
well done. all about it bro!
Legend of Zelda Dark World theme, so awesome.
This shouldve been called best Nintendo and Squaresoft music -_-
ProtoDrumanoid Konami, capcom, you gotta dig deeper.
That star fox theme is still epic
Decent list over all. But with all things, Music especially, everyone is entitled to their opinion, and as a top 100 preferences its kind of hard to see a structure for how you chose to rank them. However after seeing that Terranigma showed up on the list I was rather shocked that you did not have the ending theme here, i feel its one of the best the SNES could offer. However, these lists are always difficult for people to make due to the ravenous onslaught of viewers thinking they know best...
Wow, I can't belive most TH-camrs love that StarFox track.
Final Fight Subway, Super Mario World Forest of Illusion, Ken Griffey Junior Baseball Theme should be in the top 10 at least imo
Man how could you have like four Chrono Trigger songs and have none of them be the Wind Scene?
the #12 FF3 Aria song sounds like the same sound effects they used for Parasite Eve 1 when ever Eve was singing at the opera house. I can't believe they weren't able to improve the sound of someone singing since this game came out lol. Heart broken :(

pretty good list,number one is well worth to corneria theme
but for me,is missing castlevania song,they are great,just simon theme in 100 snes songs
at least two more,like Blood Tears,Den,Bloodlines,Vampire Killer and Beginning.
Man frog's theme really got me :(
imo Forest Maze should be #1, but that's just me. Other than that, great job on the list.
I 2nd Top Gear 2 as a very slept on soundtrack. It's awesome.
I actually think #3 is the BEST track ever composed on the SNES.
was bahamut lagoon ever release in NA in english?
all was great except for the fact that there was no a.d. 600 overworld theme from chrono trigger
I hate it when the top comments ruin something for me :(
fuck yeah Corneria ftw, good memories indeed
this series was pretty good - a lil biased but if the games had good music they had good music- i didn't play all the kongs but you got the ones that i remember the most, guile 98, Lufia 2 (Lufia 1 still owns with the Sinistrals Castle), ff3/6 Chrono Trigger, MMX, SMRPG, SoM, surprised you didn't include BoF 1 or 2- um what can else can I say other than great selections- Rainbow road = awesome, Turtles in Time too, otha KI songs?, no Super Double Dragon? good stuff- good ol memories
How have none of these lists included the first track from Top Gear?
anyone knows how the castlevania vampires kiss 1st level song is called?
Dark World is only 14! That's crazy.
@Holavoir These things always seem to be more about what the best games are instead of just the music. This just seems like you posted music of your favorite snes games. And I doubt you're gonna say that this is exactly the 100 snes soundtracks you think are the best in the correct order too ...and you noted yourself "and I used some other opinions of other SNES music countdowns"
Hmmm, i never finished chrono trigger but i sure as hell know that #2 inspired that one> XI OST - Gustaberg
Same thing but better IMO.
Everythink Goes with the Guile theme man
It's the same game...doesn't matter whether you call it 3 or 6.
my personal 1st, MegamanX Spark Mandrill stage.
This feels more like the "Top 100 nostalgic songs". It's not the top 100 (20 - 1).
Hellz yes on Stickerbrush symphony
Bloody tears Super Castlevania 4??
I know you meant that question for that other guy but there was alot of certain games on there. and missed one that should at least be in top 25. CLAYFIGHTER. Also I think if you were doing multiple songs of thing you should of at least included Simcity village theme. Pitfighter too. I could go on and on. I like how you had Zombies ate my neighbors in there. Should included the main theme too.
Nice pick for #1. But I don't think FF6 Searching for Friends was anywhere in the top 100. Major snub there.
Where is Mega Man X? Spark Mandrill, Variable X, Storm Eagle, Flame Mammoth, the first Sigma Level, the opening level? Where is Earthworm Jim? New Junk City, What the Heck, Level 5, the level with the dog? I know it's tough combining all the games. Perhaps we could all make a list together.
Oh, I guess there was alot of good songs missing. I was too busy listening to this awesome music to care.
Chrono Trigger will forever be the nr 1 RPG game In my Gamer heart =)
I wish I had grown up in the 90s like my sister
I miss super adventure Island, cool spot and rock´n rool racing, but is really a nice selection... ^_^
true,there is one track i think would fit in here.well more like at no.30 really.that'd be Absentminded,that sad sad tune.he probably didn't play it
great list, the starfox corneria song is the most animated music of the serie, but you forget the most epic racing game: TOP GEAR, and this error is terrible !!!
now i recognize the song of wad manager 1.7! (FINAL FANTASY 3)
Yeah, i really hate it, that people want to listen to an expected song (go search it?), makes no sense!They are based on the author who probaly didn't play that or felt something else, didn't pay attention. Anyway, i appreciate your reply.
Sadly i didnt grow up with the snes cause im young 17 years old, but even i can see how gaming atmosphere ,gameplay and music is worsening or lets say heading into the wrong direction ( im talking about the mainstream )
nesbox.com it has snes too and multiplayer ur welcome
It's never to late to play some of the old classics. Even if the graphics aren't fancy the gameplay that many of the old games offer will take care that you get addicted. :)
i recently bought a n64 play it like it just came out :) snes Looks awesome but ist pretty expensive
GamingPenis
Emulator all the way. Decent computer = playing all the NES and SNES games.
GamingPenis just get the adapter for the xbox360 wireless controller to play games on PC, download the Nesticle emulator for NES and ZSnes for of course SNES, you can find torrents of each with over 700+ games and enjoy them all with an actual controller.
No tales of phantasia?
no megaman x on top? ridiculous
Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbrush Symphony OMG!!! Best days of my life!!!! :'D
I partly agree the top gear song should be in the top 10.
The main Chrono Trigger theme should be number one! By far the best theme.
Pokey means bussines :v
Plz
Why is "City" from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers SNES NOT number one on this list?!
secret of manas both boss themes epic... spec thantos fight... really epic..
falta super offroad, xmen arcade game, rockman & forte, prince of persia, evo, the adventures of batman & robin, captain commando, dbz... en fin harto chanta la lista, pero bueno que se va a hacer.
Well, I'm gonna go play Final Fantasy 6 now.
Right!?
Top 20 Chrono Trigger songs!
Good songs all of them. Just a bit heavy on the JRPG side.
this list should have been called top chrono trigger songs+bonus...
MegaMan 2 was NES until they made a redesign version on the Sega Genesis. (MegaMan the wily wars)
How do you have all the Chrono trigger music on here but no Wind Scene? That may be the best song in the game
You should change the Title to "My top 100 songs from the SNES" because it's OBVIOUS what games you played and what games you did not.
Thanks for your input. It's nothing I haven't heard already from the angry side of TH-cam.
these are all dam good songs and its obvious that your an idiot also i disagree with like 4 songs and im pretty sure id majorly disagree with 95% of your "songs"
+Xarai You're calling him an idiot, yet you still can't even use propper grammar.
+Matthew Pacey You're calling people out on grammar when you can't spell. Good effort though.
wow... I didn't even notice. I feel so stupid right now...
i personally think mute city should be number 1 on this list but hey good music selection anyway!
as much as i like Guardia,i don't really consider it to be one of my faves.i think Schala's Theme makes a fine no.2
