Just a quick list and explanation of some of my favourite video game themes and why I love them:
One of my top favourite Pokemon themes. The overall high pitches and movement of the music varying around made it feel so surreal and amazing. A perfect champion theme to wrap up the main game! At points where it got louder to quieter, it always made the battle feel like a rollercoaster. Black and White 2 was my favourite game and the champion along with her fantastic theme never seized to disappoint me.
Another great Pokemon theme. Pairing it along with the game, it always creates a sense of nostalgia with the tone it creates. Just so relaxing and amazing at the same time. Definitely in my top 5 too.
Not only is this song really nostalgic for me but its just amazing, undeniable. The song blends together so well to convert the feelings and emotions it wants to convert and along with the story it can really make you feel what is happening. Its always something I'll think back on throughout the entire story because the whole plot just seems to somehow coincide with these emotions in the theme. Just really one of my favourite music pieces in video games! Also, I've found a website that really explains some of the Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess music.
Hyrule’s Lament: the music of ‘Twilight Princess’- By André Dack
Now I'm just going to say that this is AMAZING. It starts off with a creepy persona and slowly at 0:15 it breaks into a full strong theme, still carrying along its scary concept. Now, tell me- scary theme goes with a scary thing. This boss battle came to do that so perfectly. With all the sudden turns, outcomes, changes, we're left in shock as the final battle begins. Slowly as we stare at Luigi being forced into an evil state, the sounds begin setting off the theme and then as he walks away to side with the enemy within all the shock we are given, it just makes the theme resonate so well! If you've yet to see the story behind it I recommend you do:
Super Paper Mario - Final Boss: Super Dimentio
Gourmet race was all about the excitement of the theme to me, competing against the CPU. It was one of the things that really made the game exciting. The speed of it along with the fact you are in a race was always something entertaining and joyful. Not only that but for me it is quite nostalgic; I can always think back on playing it when I was younger and how it just felt so unique and exhilarating
And for now I'll say these are top favourite gaming music pieces. Another honourable list of mentions will be most Super Mario Galaxy themes!! Looking at it, music in games is really something to tie into the ending and thats when it comes to make the most impression on me. I really love all these themes especially Midna's Lament and The Ultimate Show! Its all about how its used to convey those emotions and the tone it sets are pretty much the main factors to why I love these in correlation to the in game situation for me. Music in video games will always be something that really shapes my feelings towards a game and I'll always look forward to them.
