Nights into Dreams has some very happy tunes if you have happy/cheerful Nightopians living in it.

Spring Valley (cheerful)

Spring Valley (happy)

well... even the angry mode is quite cheerful.

 

[Griss]

OP picked a great one. I used to have the Epic Yarn soundtrack in my car in case I had a bad day at work. It's cliche to use music in that way, but that OST would fix almost anything in my mood, it really would.

Anyway, I'd go with Puzzle Plank Galaxy. It's just pure distilled energetic joy. (Is joy too much? You asked for happy.)

Bubble Bobble.

Yoshi's Island Flower Garden

Also great picks, as was all the Katamari stuff.

Man my first thought was also Epic Yarn.

Big Bean Vine! Best new original music from that game. At least I think it was original.

Too comfy for me. Feel like it's Christmas and I'm in front of the fire, safe and warm. God damn do I love Epic Yarn.

I have extremely fond memories this game. Whenever I was admitted to hospital as a kid I would come down from the wards with my parents to play this.

Since this was an Australian machine it would cost 50cents a play.

It's too easy to name Kirby and Yoshi, so I'm going with this:

Route 2 - Pokemon Black & White

 

[Riposte]

Ace Attorney - Turnabout Sisters

THIS. C64.

 

[Nocturnowl]

This thread couldn't have arrived at a better time, gotta hoover up all this happiness.

de Blob: Euphoric is always an immediate pick me up, it's hard to not nod along cheerfully to such a fun and funky tune, heck the title is Euphoric after all.

Or for something a bit more zany/insane sounding, The Lum King from Rayman Origins.

Really though this is basically a stealth Kirby music thread...
Kirby's Dreamland 3: Grass Land 3
Kirby's Epic Yarn: Outer Rings
Kirby Triple Deluxe: Floral Fields
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse: Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff

Unsurprisingly I could go on and on, hey I think I am a bit more jolly now as well, Kirby is the cure for what ails you.

 

[Wasp]

Rayman Origins - Sea of Serendipity

[Terrified]

Bubble Bobble.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTmJJ0lUyQc

Came to post this myself. Still my favourite game theme of all time. Once heard, always remembered.

 

[Sectorseven]

Super Mario RPG.

 

[Deadpool_X]

OP, you got some 'splaning to do. I came in here, URL in hand for the Epic Yard rendition of Green Greens, and here it is, the very inspiration for the whole thread?!?

Spoiler

You've got some good taste in music.

 

[Gbraga]

Most of Persona 4's soundtrack, I adore how upbeat it is. And also Life is Beautiful from Deadly Premonition.

Persona 3's Iwatodai Dorm somewhat qualifies, I think. It's not exactly a happy song, but makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Possibly my favorite Persona 3 song.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

The answer, of course, is:
Yoshi's Story - Super Happy Song.

Eat aaaaaaaappllllllllllllessssssssss
Eat aaaaaaaaaaaapppplllllllllllllllllesssss

Came to post this. Haha.

 

[Kanhir]

Has to be FF Mystic Quest - Temple Theme for me. So much serenity.

Edit: Rainbow Island - Main Theme comes a close second.

Edit 2: FFIX - Frontier Village Dali is always calming and pleasant.

 

[MrBadger]

Castle Crashers - Forest Entrance

 

[Sky Interloper]

For shame, I was expecting to see Gusty Garden Galaxy as the first response. That damn song just makes one feel so fuzzy inside.

 

[MaxiLive]

So many great tracks in this thread so far!

I'm going to go with Lovely Planet:

[woopWOOP]

Kirby's got this in the bag

But I'm gonna link to this Ragnarok Online tune instead. So happy it pissed off my brother whenever he heard it.
Ragnarok Online - Higher Than The Sun

 

[Circinus]

Throwback Galaxy (SMG2)

And wow, the LocoRoco theme is so joyous indeed. Love it. Had never heard it before.

 

[Kalamoj]

Okami Kamiki Festival is my personal favorite.

[Hugstable]

This is pretty much Kirby the Topic

Dreamland 3 is amazing is this regard

[bennywhatever]

Perfection.

Here's some Que Sera Sera from the original.

When I think of Katamari Damacy, I always think of Que Sera Sera.

"I know you love me
I wanna wad you up into my life.
Let's roll up to make
a single star
in the skyyy."

 

[Anung]

Ico - Heal

 

[DoktorEvil]

Mother-Pollyanna

DDR- Butterfly

 

[GustyGardner]

The Nintendo Land theme has this sort of vibe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y96cw701nG0

The beginning of the Smash arrangement too:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPsHrWJbPg0

 

[Baleoce]

Shining Force II - Lively Town
Landstalker - Bustling Street

Both by the same composer xD (Motoaki Takenouchi)

 

[krang]

I'm going to go with Alex Kidd in Miracle World. Shit was cheerful as fuck.

 

[The Real Abed]

If it weren't for the BAH's, NSMB's overworld themes.

 

[silver.tongue]

Locoroco

OMFG why did I listen to this?!

Once I had this song playing in my head for 3 days straight. This is probably gonna happen again.

I hate you BillGaitas!

Spoiler

Locorocco is dead right? I liked it on ps3.

 

[Cathcart]

The gold saucer theme was the first thing that popped into my head, so I'll go with that.

That music gives me nightmares. I always imagine it as the music that plays constantly in some insane asylum with featureless white walls filled with Chucky and Freddy Kreuger and a bunch of other horror movie characters.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I don't know about you guys but the Space Harrier theme brings a smile to my face every time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_Tam9lv1KQ

It's so upbeat and colorful.

 

[NotLiquid]

I'd say these are slightly more on the "triumphant" than "happy" scale but these put huge smiles on my faces when I finished their respective games because it was basically the game's way of saying - "you did it!"

Donkey Kong Country 2 - Donkey Kong Rescued
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hGO36HlEU4

Viewtiful Joe - Standing Ovation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG-VPJ47LbM

 

[Coxy]

I cant help but grin at the siliness of this tune, it helps that the character associated with it is funny too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVw6ncw1Woo

 

[Choomp]

Katamari, Kirby, some Mario games.

My favorite is always Yoshi's Island

Out of all the great happy Kirby, Mario, and Yoshi songs this one has stood out to me as well

Persona 4's bright, upbeat thing had some really happy feeling songs in it

[Saladinoo]

The answer, of course, is:
Yoshi's Story - Super Happy Song.

Came here to post Yoshi's Story!

 

[Confrontation]

Pokecenter.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Yoshi's Story and Diddy Kong Racing music always makes me happy.

 

[JawzPause]

City of Commerce - Nier

Came here for this

 

[Laevateinn]

Nights into Dreams has some very happy tunes if you have happy/cheerful Nightopians living in it.

Spring Valley (cheerful)

Spring Valley (happy)

well... even the angry mode is quite cheerful.

One thing I love about NiGHTS is that how you treat the A-Life effects how the personality of the game is.

I miss games that featured context sensitive music like this and Banjo Kazooie.

 

[Loudninja]

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time - Zanifar - A Peaceful Village
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQSXB3byRzA

 

[LoneTraveler]

Sonic The Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 - Emerald Hill Zone

I'm not sure if it's the nostalgia talking but Sonic The Hedgehog series had some awesome happy music.
