Making a gym playlist with poppy game music. Need suggestions.

[ByWatterson]

So, I started a gym playlist with the Tetris Effect soundtrack, added some Death Stranding, Kingdom Hearts, and Miles Morales.

What else fits that poppy, techy sound good for working out?

Something like this? Show us some of the tracks you added too, description a bit too general.

This is pretty good.

Basically I added all of Tetris Effect, the Death Stranding song by Churches, Don't Be So Serious by Low Roar, and Sanctuary from KH2.

That kind of stuff.

This is DDR's bread and butter.

 

[Starlatine]

you want poppy game music or pop music that was in games? i'm confused

this is the best working out music anyway

 

[Hayeya]

You only need "Mortal Kombattttttt"

Music that is poppy that also appears in games. Original and previously recorded music both count.

 

[Johnzyboi]

Sayonara Wild Hearts

 

[Dolce]

I'm on phone so apologies for no direct links, but I'd recommend looking up Persona 4+5, River City Girls, Jet Set Radio Future and a number of the FFXIV boss/raid tracks. Off the top of my head.

 

[GazRB]

JRPG Battle Music.

Counterattack in Xenoblade 2 is a good example.

 

[GriffinCorp]

Perfect Dark had some great music - fun to listen to on a jog.

[j.zed]

Since you specifically wanted music that appears in games, then this is in Cyberpunk I think.

 

[jwhit28]

Hope this helps.

Spoiler: FFVII Remake stuff but I think it was all in trailers

 

[Transistor]

Check the vocal tracks from the River City Girls soundtrack out.

 

[Gevurztraminer]

Ok, I think I see more the vibe you're looking for now.

This goes into cutecore territory as it progresses, but it's pretty poppy and techy still.



This alongside other battle themes from 13 Sentinels may fit too

 

[Mesoian]

I looked through my gym playlist and was actually surprised how much game music I culled from it.

But there's still some good ones on here.

 

[Okabe]

 

[molnizzle]

Why limit to just game music?

 

[Future_TraX]

Tekken 3 OST (Tekken in general).
Quake 3 Arenas OST by Sonic Mayhem.
M.A.G. OST by Sonic Mayhem.

 

[noesch]

Mega Man. All of it.

 

[Emergency & I]

I was just working out to the soundtrack to Paradise Killer and it's a banger (also GOTY).

 

[Exile In Mudville]

Ikenfell is a one stop shop of high energy jams, especially battle music and boss/PC themes.

[TheChits]

Here you go, if you are into poppy synth bangers

 

[tolkir]

 

[Patitoloco]

Chie exercises with this.

 

[MrWindUpBird]

It's not video games but the anime Black Clover has...13 different openings right now? I think and every single one of them is a banger. I listen to them every day I workout haha.

Agreed. OP I'm not gonna tell you what to do but sometimes you're gonna want something more than game jams to keep you going when you're in the middle of it.

Here's my playlist, do with it what you will.

Not specifically game music... though they did some work for Sonic Mania, but The Hyper Potions are pretty great for this: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KkjjsBwGqU2YjS9OIucZV?si=9YHiu4cxTiaddl3ZRNo_aw

This. There are entire CD releases of megamixes, and countless fan megamixes of more specific genre stuff.
Also recommended: The Dancemania Speed collection for high energy.

 

[Kanhir]

 

[Cloneasaurus]

I listen to a lot of the Beat Saber soundtrack while working out, which sounds like what you might be looking for.

 

[Daysean]

Its time for a certified liumang classic
