Now that we explored the sadness in videogame music,lets now name songs that makes our day a little more brighter and put a smile on our faces

For example for me are

- katamari on the wings
- life is beautiful ( deadly premonition)
- world map ( Mario bross 3)
- still alive (portal)
- love in kamurocho ( yakuza 4)
- mr saturn theme (mother 3)

[szaromir]

Monkey Island 2 - Scabb Island Beach theme
Always sets me into a good mood. I used to launch the game just to listen to it when I was younger Can't believe the game's 20 years old now.

 

[Rich!]

Ocarina of Time music.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd6s4aE8wLc

Best example of happy music there is!

Personally, I'd rate the Link's Awakening soundtrack higher as a feel-good collection.

 

[Why would you do that?]

This music from Bomberman '94.


(Made a topic with this in the OP once, so if you're experiencing deja vu, then yeah.)

Speaking of Deja Vu...
This music from The World Ends With You. (I know it's not the full version. I personally don't like it as much.)

 

[br0ken_shad0w]

Baba Yetu - Civilization IV

Now that's how you get amped up at the start menu.

 

[Alucrid]

FFX - Besaid Island

Easy.

 

[Cranzor]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Starship Mario

The Mario Galaxy games have some of my favorite game music.

Chrono Trigger - To Far Away Times

Although I've never played through the game (due to me not being very fond of RPGs, sadly), it still has one of my favorite OSTs.

Mother - Pollyanna (the Melee version is also fantastic)
Mother 2 - Because I Love You
Mother 3 - Love Theme (Brawl Version)

Mother has some of my favorite music. I really wish I could play them but I can't get hold of Mother 1, Earthbound is way too expensive and Mother 3 wasn't released here.

 

[ferr]

FFT's Intro Music
Diablo 2 - Wilderness
Castlevania - Vampire Killer

Accumula Town Theme

Kanto Routes 2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/16/17/18/19/20/21/22

Viridian Forest - 3 years later

As a side note, Youtube Me Again is such a godly script for threads like these.

 

[Acquiescence]

JumpingFlash! - World 1-1

Don't what it was with all those PS1 platformers, but so many of them had totally euphoric soundtracks.

 

[[Nintex]]

Music from Banjo used to make me very happy : D

Now it makes me sad ;_;

It's not really an upbeat cheery, but rather an "I am at peace with everyting" cheery:

Terranigma - Crystal

You can't post Terranigma here, that's quite possibly the most depressing game of all time.

 

[Erekiddo]

Ducktales - The Moon
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_80PQ543rM

 

[Silh]

Persona 4 - Reach Out to the Truth
Wind Waker Theme

Mother - Pollyanna (the Melee version is also fantastic)
Mother 2 - Because I Love You
Mother 3 - Love Theme (Brawl Version)

These too. Last one could be considered a little depressing though.

 

[Error1355]

I would totally have to go with Star Light Zone in Sonic 1.

That music is just beast.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Music from Banjo used to make me very happy : D

Now it makes me sad ;_;


You can't post Terranigma here, that's quite possibly the most depressing game of all time.

Most depressing ending of all time. Even Mother 3 had a silver lining. Terranigma just rips your heart out and stomps it into the ground.
