It's sometimes nice to just have a nice and happy video game song to enjoy and listen to. My offering is a song from Paper Mario: Color Splash.

The Color Splash soundtrack is ridiculously catchy innit.
Here's my offering, hopefully I can get the embedding to work, but if not - it's the bicycle theme from Pokémon Gold/Silver. For everyone's convenience I've been so nice to link the 10 hour looped version because obviously nobody's shutting this off after a minute or two, let's be real.

Yes! A lovely theme that's so simple being 8-bit but so good regardless!

Here's my pick for today:

Honestly the Sonic Mania trailer music is really good. I could see it being the music to an early, easy track in an F-Zero game. Here's the full track.

Kirby is happy, I haven't played Epic Yarn yet but it's on the list to play one day. This one's called Butter Building and has a fantastically happy piano arrangement.

Kirby is a REALLY easy place to go here in most cases, and I feel there's a lot of directions you can go with a simple cue like "happy music." do you go for something that's low energy and fills you with contented feelings? do you go with something that has a bit of energy to it? Something that feels grandiose...? There's so many directions my mind is tugging in right now.

That being said, let's go for an obscure little gem that is a jaunty little tune that fills one with a sense of adventure and hope for the future. For those who are nostalgic for a certain pre-pokemon game for the game boy, this might ring as familiar.

Not to turn this into a Kirby song topic, but one of my favorite Wii U soundtracks is none other than Kirby and the Rainbow Curse! Seriously, it's such an AWESOME soundtrack!

This tune always makes me happy

Love this song! Here's an orchestrated version that never fails to put a smile on my face (Except when it doesn't, of course).

a new day (where I live) brings us a new piece! I suppose going obscure didn't impress much, so let's go with something iconic and filled with an incredible amount of grandeur. This piece of music is possibly one of my favorite things to come out of the N64 period (as in... listening to this song is preferable to playing most N64 games.)

There are remixes I prefer, but I figure i'd post the unvarnished version first.

Still my favorite Mario Kart ending. The overview of the tracks, the Kenta Nagata-composed piece, it all fills me with such joy, happiness, and nostalgia.

Hey, Greenie! Here's my pick for today!

Given the size of the grin I had when I first heard "Don't Worry" in context, it qualifies.

This happy song takes the edge off of some of the difficult puzzles.

I love the happy vibes on Outset Island in Wind Waker.

Mario Sleigh Ride.

Not 'happy' perhaps, but I've always found that Star Fox Adventures has some of the best soothing, calming music of the GameCube era. Game itself definitely has problems, but wandering through the gorgeous Thorntail Hollow while several variations on this tune played was a nice and peaceful experience.

This game is still on my list but might have to move it up in priority if all the music's like this! :)

How about some de Blob 2 for your evening?

Order.RSS · « **Reply #18 on:** October 27, 2016, 08:39:10 AM »

Ohhhh great pick! Allow me to follow up with another one from De Blob 1. All that groovy slap-bass and the big band brass section almost manage to cure my instant carpal tunnel syndrome flashbacks whenever I remember this game! (Who mapped jump to waggling in a platformer?!!?!)

Phil · « **Reply #19 on:** October 28, 2016, 10:31:18 AM »

This comes from one of my favorite Mega Man games-- seriously!

Phil · « **Reply #20 on:** October 29, 2016, 11:33:24 PM »

We were talking about Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles in the Nintendo Switch Launch topic, so why not bring up my second favorite Crystal Chronicles soundtrack, The Crystal Bearers? We goin' to Nawlins!

This one is WHITE HOT off the presses of Tee Lopes' music mixin' machines, pieced together through gameplay Polygon has posted to their youtube channel. it's poppy and brings to mind many things... besides having that classic riff from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" there, the use of synthesized trumpet and 90's pop-ish tunes really makes me think of Sunset Riders... of course, Mr. Lopes is also amazing at capturing that sound I feel is so indicative of Sonic CD.

Without further adieu, allow me to present to you...

MIRAGE SALOON!

A timely song for a certain sport concluding its season this evening!

Since this comes out on the North American Virtual Console today:

One of my favorite Mario sports soundtracks. Same composer did music for Final Fantasy XIV.
