Rayman Origins in Gourmand land, Dashing thru the Fire, when the baritone voice kicks in, you cant just help but feel fucking fantastic about spicy food.

Re-Bounder title tune stabs you in the ear with happiness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukZMeZBeaUI.
Hands down, the Mega Man 3 password theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rego6HpICwU
Gourmet Race from the Kirby games (and Smash, the most well known version I would say)

Chaotix's Door Into Summer, is just so happy feeling good song, I love it.

Sonic R has some cheerful dance-pop tracks. IIRC Richard Jacques was specifically asked to compose j-pop-esque songs for this game.

3 pages in no one posted Heavenly Star by Genki Rockets?
Ditto in all the Katamari songs posted here. Que Sera Sera and Everlasting Love are GOAT.
Katamari on the Wings ain't half bad as well.
Another song to consider I like: Tomorrow Hill from Wario Ware: Smooth Moves.

Not a widely known game, but Lovely Planet (Steam) comes to mind. At least the majority of the soundtrack comes across as happy.

The Yoshi's Island Athletic Theme never fails to put a smile on my face, so I'll go with that. 
These are also amazing ones. Great choices!

I just love how it clashes with the rest of the soundtrack. So happy.

I got to agree with OP. Kirby's Epic Yarn's OST is pure concentrated happiness.
My favorite track is Big Bean Vine.

Three pages, and not a single mention of Daytona USA music? It's kinda hard to get cheerier than a Japanese man with a thick accent regardless singing English lyrics with complete, earnest confidence, set to upbeat music.
Jet Set Radio has some really energetic, cheerful music, too. "Up-Set Attack", in particular, stays in my mind, partly because of its use in the game's demo on the Official Dreamcast Magazine's demo discs back in the day.

Good pick for the first reply...
That's a tricky question... and plently of interesting suggestions in the thread. The first song that came to my mind is the theme song of Super Mario World, though.

Most songs on either Fallout 3 or LittleBigPlanet continue to bring smiles to my face through the years.
Also any LoZelda.

Hey, you! Want to stroll into work as happy as can be? Want to waltz into a restaurant with a smile on your face? How about walking your dog to an umpity-bumpity beat?

Gravity Daze - Old Town
Maybe more whimsical, but definitely makes me happy when I hear it.

I agree with this, btw can someone make an unsettling video game music thread. (I can't make threads I am a junior). I want to discover more music like this one from Zelda Twilight Princess.
