Nintendo OST Battle Royale

[The_real_cal_howard]

I was thinking of making this thread for a long period of time. I think this would be a fun idea and a nice way to get people to listen to tracks.

Gather up all of your Nintendo franchises, boys and girls. Today we do a Battle Royale. And due to all of us knowing a certain llama would dominate a normal one, a musical one is much better.

Any Nintendo franchise is allowed, so long as it's a recognized IP. Anything from Mario to Chibi Robo to Ice Climbers.

This will be formatted like the "Best _____ of every tier" threads. There will be multiple categories. Most will be Nintendo as a whole, but some will be verse specific. Fan remixes and covers are allowed, but like the "Best ____ of every tier" threads having a speed equalized and unequalized distinction, it would have an official and fan remix/cover distinction.

I'll edit this with both, your answers and more categories as time goes on, if this gains traction.

Do we count just Nintendo IPs or games on Nintendo? Because most iconic tracks either go to the "Super Mario World" theme or the "Final Fantasy" theme.

My favorite world track is probably "Forest Maze" and my favorite Nintendo track is probably "Bloody Tears"

Favorite fan song based off a Nintendo track is defiantly "Rawest Forest"

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

It's funny you say that. Like, really. I've been listening to Waltz of the Forest and Rawest Forest nonstop this past week, and the beginning of the week was my first time hearing them.

Also, Nintendo IPs.

 

[Arrogant_Schmuck]

Pretty sure this would be the most iconic sound effect

 

[Amelia_Lonelyheart]

So no Classic Castlevania, FF or modern Sonic. Gotcha.

In that case, either the Zelda theme (I prefer Zelda IIs main theme but Zelda I is probably more iconic) and Maio Bros have the most iconic ones.

 

[CrimsonStarFallen]

Best opening theme goes to Super Smash Bros Brawl

Best final boss is Paper Jam

Series with the most consistently good final boss themes should be the Mario & Luigi series.

 

[Overlord775]

Best opening theme goes to Super Smash Bros Brawl

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorer of Sky

[The_real_cal_howard]

Cal cries evrytiem

 

[The_Causality]

Obviously:

• Cynthia theme
• Dialga theme
• Giratina theme
• Hearthgold Elite four theme
• Red theme
• Regis theme
• Zelda spirit track theme
• Super Smash Bros Brawl

and likely other

Gear Getaway

Gang Plank Galleo

Masked Dedede

Aquatic Ambience

Enter Bowser Jr!

Gerudo Valley

Vs. Ridley

These tend to be some of my favorites. I think Aquatic Ambience is a strong contender for most calming track if nothing else.
