You remember that list of twenty music suggestions? Well, multiply that by 2 1/2! I GIVE YOU THE TOP FIFTY MUSIC TRACKS! This is my opinion. And the limit is two per franchise. I am also using a different link system, so if it doesn't work, you at least have the video ID. Feel free to use a remix. Also, it's okay if I haven't played the game. Lastly, I am NOT including remixes unless the track appears later in the series, like Bloody Tears (first appeared in Castlevania II, and has been in almost every Castlevania since) and Beat The Angel (First appeared in Tales of Symphonia and returns in Tales of Symphonia 2, Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology 2, and Tales of Graces.) With that out of the way, let's get started.
50.
https://youtu.be/VIop055eJhUU.N. Owen Was Her? (Flandre's Theme) From Touhou 6: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (PC, Freeware)
The Toujou series is made up of PC Vertical Shooter games usually first released at Comiket, then released in stores a bit later. The Americans download it as freeware, I think. This is a PC game, so cut it some slack. Still, how unique can this track get? I mean, it's catchy, and it has a great transition.
49.
https://youtu.be/cg2MYCp7SbcA Savior's Forthcoming From Trauma Center: Second Opinion (Wii)
Ah, the sounds of an incoming triumphant victory. Your opponent? Bacteria. Your mission? SAVE THE PATIENT'S LIFE. You have ten minutes. Good luck. Clock starts now.
48.
https://youtu.be/3IWW6iOnJ90Four Part Plan (Final Boss Battle) From Portal 2 (Many)
In Portal, you aren't saving the world or anything. It's you vs. a machine wanting you dead. Portal 2 is about the same, but we get this awesome techno music.
47.
https://youtu.be/pHHnIT9OaKETROMBE! From Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 (PS2)
How epic can this track get? I mean, such an opening! But it's low on the list cuz the game's extremely hard to find outside of Japan.
46.
https://youtu.be/oDNYfKVvoWIBeat The Angel From Tales Of Symphonia (GCN, PS2) (Tales Of Graces On The PS3 Remix)
In Symphonia, Beat The Angel plays when you fight Remiel, Kratos, and Zelos. In Graces, it plays when Richard has his Zelos costume on. Ah yes, listening to that choir gives you a feel of your task...
45.
https://youtu.be/aa0mfu5wZdwImbroglio From Shadow Hearts (PS2)
Must I say anymore? Every time a bell rings, IMBROGLIO CUTS YOUR F**KING HEAD OFF. And it really gives you a clue on this guy's strength. I've played Shadow Hearts, and I beat him on my first try. But it was close.
44.
https://youtu.be/Slt4tnCzh6oLegendary Pokemon From Pokemon Black And White (DS)
Doko kara kita no? Ah, Tokyo! Tanushinderu America? Hmm...Oh crap! Anyway...Generation Five got almost everything right. Especially the music. I really love that tempo change when it seems to die down.
43.
https://youtu.be/lIuvjG3EgjoFinal Bowser Battle From Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
In my opinion, this is the best 3D game in the Mario series. It's a fair challenge, the graphics are good, the story's pretty epic, and the music is great, especially this one.
42.
https://youtu.be/Y1x_udEq5YMRoar Of The Departed Souls From Lost Odyssey (360)
Yeah! This has to be THE longest track before it loops I HAVE EVER HEARD, even beating out the last phase of Dancing Mad. It goes ALMOST FIVE MINUTES. That's a lot. Say, I just noticed, doesn't that guy look a lot like Pyramid Head? You know, from Silent Hill?
41.
https://youtu.be/eOWf_T0jdgQRobo's Theme From Chrono Trigger (SNES, PS1, DS)
Oh yeah! How awesome can that opening get? It gives you a triumphant feel. Something I haven't observed until now, Robo's the only party member who isn't at least part-human.
40.
https://youtu.be/gvLK8777kGASolaris Phase Two From Sonic 2006 (360, PS3)
This is, without a doubt, one of THE most disappointing games in the history of the world. But it has some refining factors. The graphics are great, and the music is just plain awesome. Like this instrumental of the Sonic theme His World.
39.
https://youtu.be/m4X_5k3ysdYAntenna Cradle From Goldeneye 007 (N64)
Oh yeah! What an opening. Goldeneye on N64 rocks, Wii is pretty good. Along with the next one, Transformers: Rise of the Fallen, and Batman: Arkham Asylum, this is one of the few movie games I can think of that were halfway decent. Trevelyan really wants to "toy" with you. (YAY HINTS!)
38.
https://youtu.be/7JFknk-446QThe Evil Emperor Zurg From Toy Story Two (PS1)
This game for the PS1 was surprisingly quite good. Ah, such a dark theme, but still awesome. It's a bit low because Zurg is kinda too easy.
37.
https://youtu.be/9_HRYcdX9dYTabuu Battle From Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii)
Excellent music. Now, here's some stuff I once noticed. How did Sonic ever get into Subspace? Anyway, this final showdown is just awesome.
36.
https://youtu.be/yM3hlfozBioWhite Monkey Face Off From Ape Escape 3 (PS2)
I know little to none about this game, except that it is an RPG. However, with a track this good, I think it needs to be more acknowledged. Sadly, this is probably your only great music. I wish every other in the game could be this good.
35.
https://youtu.be/HfIHcAOKBqYClose Encounter From Project Sylpheed (360)
I didn't know about this game until a week ago. Project Sylpheed is a decent space shooter on the 360 mostly known for addicting gameplay. But this track owns. I would have picked Return to the Skies from the same game for this spot, but couldn't find a link. Speaking of Skies...
34.
https://youtu.be/w8DCQev6ll4Final Boss From Skies Of Arcadia (Sega Dreamcast, GCN)
This game might be a Grandia ripoff, but it's a decent Grandia ripoff! The music is good, the graphics rocked for its time (It originally came out in 2000), the story is awesome, and the characters and gameplay are good.
33.
https://youtu.be/QIQr5W4AGcIBloody Tears From EVERY SINGLE CASTLEVANIA GAME (Remix From Castlevania Judgement On Wii)
Konami loves inserting classic music tracks in their games. Bloody Tears from Castlevania 2 is one. In Judgement, it plays if Carmilla is Player Two.
32.
https://youtu.be/BwpLSiplyYcZero Two From Kirby And The Crystal Shards (N64)
Why did I put this so low? Well, it's because of the requirements to fight him. They are unbelieveable. But this track is still pretty good.
31.
https://youtu.be/Z4MhZOYAHB4YRP Battle 1 From Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2)
This is one of the best battle tracks in all of the Final Fantasy. In my opinion, it's runner up. But something's weird. What's with Yuna's left breast? (Thats HER left, our right.)
30.
https://youtu.be/lEBXoFsHoPUHazardous Highway From Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS3)
Ah, Ancient Highway. So awesome. The gameplay is incredibly addicting, the control is nice and fluent, and the music rocks. Wait...doesn't this remind you of somethin'? *cough F-ZERO *cough*
29.
https://youtu.be/WgnstDFGUZsAltar Of Skorne From Gauntlet Dark Legacy (Xbox)
Two words. FAST. ORGAN.
28.
https://youtu.be/d73OZ1D8E-cSolitary From Daikatana (N64)
My God does this game suck. Famed programmer John Romero really did make you his b****, didn't he? Time magazine said his reputation is PERMANENTLY ruined, because this overhyped game sucked so hard! OUCH! But shockingly, the music's quarterway decent. Like Solitary.
27.
https://youtu.be/hP5k0rZ1ZbEMain Theme From South Park (N64, PC, PS1)
Ah, the main theme. How awesome. This game was SUPPOSED to come out on Game Boy. How pathetic. The game's good. How awesome. South Park Rally sucks. How pathetic.
26.
https://youtu.be/a6UhVn9XTIkMutated Emperor Ing From Metriod Prime 2 (GCN)
This is the battle theme of battle themes when it comes to Metroid Prime games. It just leaves me at a loss for words.
25.
https://youtu.be/WShknpNpHbYBetrayal From Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
This is an eerie theme from Silent Hill 2, which I JUST got. It's the theme of Pyramid Head, a species of monsters that torture and execute all that moves. Ouch.
24.
https://youtu.be/ozA8LrYJZoAOur Steady Boy From KissxSis (PC)
This comes from an anime's visual novel. It's actually the ending theme, but with no lyrics. It's extremely catchy. But the show...uh...is really hard to describe. If you don't mind near-nudity, be my f**king guest and watch it. Better yet, just listen to the music track.
23.
https://youtu.be/RIt39Ziu0yAJin Kazama Stage From Tekken 3 (Arcade, PS1, PS2)
Pretty much self-explanatory. It's a great rock song. Now, I barely know anything about Tekken, so I can't say if it fits or not. All I currently know is it reminds me of Street Fighter.
22.
https://youtu.be/tICKoZ18zHkDread Of The Grave (Red's Theme) From Umineko No Naku Koro Ni (PC)
Ah yeah, that electric guitar absolutely never gets old. And look at his pose. OBJECTION!!! Wait, here is something I just noticed. Since when do anime characters have NOSES!?
21.
https://youtu.be/ZcNcUHh3VAgCornered From Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (DS)
Speaking of Objection, this game is actually NOT a ripoff of Phoenix Wright. It is the most recent in the series. And it remixes some music well, like Cornered.
20.
https://youtu.be/YunE-yvn-JEIntro Track 2 From Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (PC)
I know NOTHING about this game except that it's a shooter. So I don't have much to say. Here's #20.
19.
https://youtu.be/uBWWumC4XBcWe Are Finally Cowboys (Henry's Theme) From No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle (Wii)
Ah yes, Henry. But hey, something I noticed, shouldn't something like a bagpipe be in the track? I mean, he's Irish...
18.
https://youtu.be/XZpQ4i9c82AMute City From F-Zero X (N64)
Come on, you knew this had to be on here somewhere. It's one of the catchiest tracks ever. And it's a classic!
17.
https://youtu.be/Z6E7iAm68OkPrimal Dialga Battle From Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 (DS)
If I still had a YouTube, I would show you my fantastic battle with Primal Dialga in Explorers of Darkness. Anyway, this is a catchy yet sad tune, because of what'll happen AFTER you beat him.
16.
https://youtu.be/wwH1hPMyVZUFury Sparks (Rival Battle) From Tales Of Vesperia (PS3)
DIE FLYNN DIE!!!
15.
https://youtu.be/SF9ZLNxHaBYGreen Hill Zone Act 1 From Sonic The Hedgehog (Genesis)
(No description available, because if you haven't heard this, I really pity you.)
14.
https://youtu.be/ffFyxC-s2QgMind's Eye From Tempest 2000 (Atari Jaguar)
Because of how complicated the Jaguar's software was, not too many good games were made. I can think of two, Doom and Tempest 2000. Tempest 2000 had music so awesome that the soundtrack, which is usually Japan-only, was released in the US. On the other hand, Doom on the Jag was the closest I've seen them get to the PC version. The only thing ruining it? NO MUSIC! So put some Slayer on and you're all set.
13.
https://youtu.be/3vNjzrkPMUwRainbow Road From F-Zero X (N64)
Based off Mario Kart 64's Rainbow Road, they really amp up the music to this track. Hey, it's F-Zero.
12.
https://youtu.be/86IxmklUgEMGeneral Tor From Iji (Freeware)
Iji is a game I can compare to Super Metroid gameplay-wise. Earth is a wasteland after alien attacks, and you control a lady sent to convince their general to call off an attack with apocalyptic results. But the general, Tor, isn't in the mood...
11.
https://youtu.be/WRF4PHPfKecStreets From TimeSplitters 2 (360)
Another FPS I know nothing about. Let's move on.
10.
https://youtu.be/9THf5QlXuyoGiant Baby Bowser Battle From Yoshi's Island (SNES, GBA)
Holy s**t. This is, by far, the biggest boss ever in a Mario game. It's totally deserving of this track. BTW, I consider Mario and Yoshi different series.
9.
https://youtu.be/xpaJulksCikFinal Lavos Battle From Chrono Trigger (SNES, PS1, DS)
This pretty much speaks for itself. The way Lavos screams at the opening is absolutely epic.
8.
https://youtu.be/9_LXeDg3_TMNecromancer Battle From Castle Crashers (Freeware)
Castle Crashers is a fun game. All you do is destroy everything in sight. And if you can get four players...
7.
https://youtu.be/noq4ne0wTjILast Boss From Magical Chase (Turbografx-16)
This is an old albeit somewhat rare game. AND GOD IS THE MUSIC CATCHY!
6.
https://youtu.be/3J8b0qoo9OsFinal Boss From Yoshi's Island (DS)
I'm not quite sure why I like this track so much. This is the only game I know of where the music differs between versions, as the American and European ones loop after 49 seconds.
5.
https://youtu.be/Ckxy-i7Dc5UFinal Boss From Mario And Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)
As we get into the top five, we get into the really good music. Like this one when you fight Dark Bowser.
4.
https://youtu.be/Z7ZHAein2LYJasper Batt Jr. Phase 2 From No More Heroes 2 (Wii)
F**k this dude. But the music's good. Still, f**k him.
3.
https://youtu.be/iJ3lPFMCKHoU.B. Battle From Parasite Eve (PS1)
This fight left me speechless. The chorus especially, both daunting and epic.
2.
https://youtu.be/v66p1JS2QXsFinal Boss Phase 2 From Trauma Center: New Blood (Wii)
Scalpel, antibiotic gel, scalpel again...(shell opens)...now get me a Wii Remote and Nunchuk, it's time for MASS DESTRUCTION!
1.
https://youtu.be/MR6PYrjEzcQWorldend Dominator From Umineko No Naku Koro Ni
The chimes, the flute, the piano, GOD CAN THIS TRACK GET ANY BETTER!? That's why I've chosen it as number 1!
