30 day video game music challenge!

Day 17: Music you never get tired of

honestly, most songs I like are songs I never get tired of. Mario music for example is music I never get tired of. I guess I'm going with Melty Monster Galaxy from Mario Galaxy 2, because I enjoy this song everytime I listen to it. I don't have a lot to say
 
Day 17: Never get tired of it

This is kinda hard actually. Like zelen and tg said, usually when I like a theme enough I just never do get tired of it... so I guess I can just pull any theme that I don't think would fit any other category?

Ok then, I think I know what I'm putting here then.

Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (The Kingdom of Bern)

Hopefully that doesn't spoil too much of what we'll be doing in my eventual LP on the 'Shroom of this game, but yeah, this theme. Throughout the whole game, Bern is built up to be this powerful nation with the world's most threatening military, and once you get there, it's all clear. All the Wyverns in the sky, all the knights, bishops and cavalry on the ground, marching in harmony, your opponents are not to be taken lightly. This theme perfectly represents the discipline these soldiers abide by, and the fear they instill in the hearts of all who fight them, yet the theme is very simplistic and minimalist in the melody it uses, which just so happens to do exactly the trick. Imo a musical masterpiece.
 
Day 17: Music I never get tired of [Hard Mode]

Hard Mode really is starting to get to me now but I have a choice - Overworld from Super Mario 3D Land.

  • Pretty much most of the music in my top 100 list, there's a lot of SPM, TTYD, DKCR, two Galaxies, 3D World, and a bit of M&L music too.
  • Most Minecraft music, most of it is fairly low intensity so I often don't notice it when playing but occasionally it makes me happy when it comes on and I can just sit back and listen or admire a view. Sometimes I also listen to it on its own too.
  • Lego indiana jones 2 also has some tracks I never get tired of, particularly the level builder music which I've used in this challenge once before but others as well.
 
Day 17 - Music you never get tired of: Sonic Generations - Rooftop Run (Classic)

I can't say there's a song that I never get tired of, I will always eventually stop listening to a song that I like and not listen to it again for months until I get the urge to listen to it again. However I guess I can pick a song that if I was forced to listen to on repeat. in the background of everything i do. forever. It would be this one. A lot of my favourite songs are boss themes, battle themes, stuff that gets you pumped up but I feel like this one is just fun. It's the kind of track that just makes you happy because it sounds like its having a good time and I want to have a good time too.
 
This applies to most music I like. Which means you gave me a free excuse to pick a theme I like!

Day 17: Sanctuary Fortress - Metroid Prime 2

Remember how I said that I like industrial themes? That applies to other forms of technological themes as well. Sanctuary's much more sleek future electronics than big heavy machinery, and that's reflected in its music. Plus, while I get why its bosses can be frustrating, Sanctuary is always the high point when I replay Prime 2 - though I have to admit, the second floor having a more ambient theme has grown on me over time compared to how I used to feel. Metroid has plenty of good themes but this is one of my best picks from the series!
 
Day 17 - Music you never get tired of

My interpretation of this is that I can listen the song on a loop and it won't start grating on me by like, the 5th loop or so. The part where it starts grating, it happens to all music eventually, but some music are more resistant to it than others. Typically, this happens less in games that have varying soundtracks that rotate between another, are longer, and are built to be ambient background music since you'll spend a long time in there.


This is the Sporepedia theme by Saul Stokes. You'll hear this theme a lot when you browse through your creations or when you want to use something for GA. And I mean a lot. And yet I never get tired of it. It's so pleasant to listen to, it has a lot variety to it, and it's a decently long song with lots of great smooth transitions. Ambient music in general are underrated, and I think it's the category video games tend to shine in in the grand scheme of things, since their music tends to get contextualized beautifully in an environment it was built for.

Day 17: Mario Bros. - Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Never mind that this song has absolutely nothing to do with Mario whatsoever, or that it plays on what is easily the worst Smash stage of all time. This song is simply amazing. I'll choose to play this stage in Battlefield or FD form simply because this theme is that good.

Oh, and it even has some Mozart mixed in for no reason whatsoever.
 
Day 16 (16-Bit music): Meeting the Maidens (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past)

Guess who forgot this game existed! Yeah, gg me. Anyways, I really love this piece for how beautiful and simple it is. There's just simple orchestra and chimes here (or at least I'm pretty sure that's what I'm hearing, it's a bit hard to tell with 16-bit sometimes) but it still manages to be one of the prettiest pieces of music I've ever heard.

Day 17 (Music you never get tired of): Victory Road (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

This is the only acceptable way to listen to this song, change my mind. I am a SUCKER for different arrangements of music, and this epic rock arrangement of Hoenn's Victory Road has managed to hold a spot in my heart for about six or seven years now (since I first got Brawl, WOW it's been a long time...). I will probably be listening to this until the day I die!
