What video game music makes you irrationally happy?

[Rainy]

I was just random listening to Final Fantasy tracks on youtube and came upon the "Besaid" theme from X-2. The song always makes me super happy and reminds me of playing through the game when I was like 10 years old with my brother.



A few of the other tracks that do it for me are from Mario.

Fossil Falls


Gusty Galaxy


Super Bell Hill



What about you?

Klonoa Door To Phantomile... it's a melancholic kind of happiness though.

It's one of the most soothing pieces of music I have ever heard, and it serves a similar purpose in game too.


I can listen to City of Commerce all summer.


This track feels like being hugged.

The Super Mario Odyssey theme song, I always play it for a while when I start playing it.

Going 400kmh in my Koeningsegg One1 into the sunset with this blasting, damn....

Pig riding music from Tearaway. The Vita original, not the PS4 version with a crappier version of the song.

 

[Boy]

Donkey kong country map theme always makes me feel good inside. All that nostalgia.

Pop the game in, press play, and wait.....

Boy do I miss these types of games. Cute em ups always just ooze fun with the art styles and soundtracks.

 

[Shades]

The whole soundtrack is fantastic, but this song especially always put a smile on my face

 

[Zed]

The Mario Kart 64 credits is pure triumph.

 

[feelthesurge]

I'm really into the phenomenon where a video game suddenly deploys that one goofy-ass song that don't fit the rest of the soundtrack or even the game's entire genre.

NiGHTS into Dreams has perhaps Sega's happiest collection of music, and this moment in particular was well executed:



The sequel, while mediocre in nearly every respect, features the mother of all callbacks to this moment. <3 NiGHTS

 

[KingPat]

Every time I hear this I'm ready for my favorite game. Damnit now I need to play this again

 

[pikachief]

these 2 always put me in a good mood

 

[atamize]

It is not irrational for music to make one happy.

 

[Musubi]

This is a fucking BOP.

This came from a small mobile game, Bean Dreams. Only published on Android and iOS.

Its soundtrack was made viral in some circles.
