Note that the YouTube embeds may take some time to all load - they aren't broken, just slow!

Folks, it’s time for the big reveal. What on earth were most of these songs? What do the pickers have to say for themselves? And most importantly, who is the biggest VGM connoisseur of them all? Find out now!

The Songs: Show/Hide

1. Sound Voltex II - Insecticide (Picked by Sinc-X)
Guessed by 3 people, series guessed by 1.

Continuing the tradition of starting these contests off with a bang, here’s something you can play when there’s a contest deadline 2 minutes away and you haven’t finished yet

2. Alpine Racer - Never Break Away (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by Igno!

Apparently the guy who composed this (Takayuki Ishikawa) was also the sound director for Sound Voltex II, so there's your epic tie-in with the previous track. Anyway, this is just a really solid track. Nice intro and solo especially.

3. Sonic Unleashed - Cool Edge (Night) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 14 people, series guessed by 1.

Starting off my picks with a very cool (haha) (hehe) (hoohoo) track from Sonic Unleashed. I've never played this game personally but its soundtrack is godly, especially the night themes (which you never actually hear ingame because the Werehog battle theme overrides it all OOPS).

4. Mario Paint - Flyswatter ~ Level 3 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 11 people.

The SNES was the golden era of VGM because you could just do stuff like this and no one would bat an eye.

5. F-Zero GX - Blood Falcon’s Theme (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 3 people.

I've never actually played an F-Zero game. This is just complete filler and I thought it sounded funny. It also doesn't sound anything like a F-Zero song you'd expect, which is probably why almost nobody got it.

6. Keyboardmania 3rdMIX - Illegally Sane (Picked by Sinc-X)
Series guessed by SomeGuy712x!

It's not often you hear real deal prog rock in video games, but here's one for the races. I actually prefer Nishiwaki's other song from this game, but the best parts of it aren't until later in the song. I advise checking it out, its dope as hell: https://youtu.be/Yx_MSMBA6SY

7. Alter Ego - Stage 2 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

Have some Kulor. I love this kind of use of the noise channel.

8. Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (C64) - Stage 4 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 5 people.

Here's my contractually required Tim Follin pick. His more atmospheric stuff (e.g. this and Equinox) tends to be a bit less popular than his other work, but I find it just as interesting, so I wanted to give it some time to shine here.

9. Tama: Adventurous Ball in Giddy Labyrinth - Stage 6 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

This game has some surprisingly colorful music for what appears to be a very shitty Saturn/PS1 launch title. This track is my personal favorite.

10. Mega Man ZX - Area D (Highway) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 9 people, series guessed by 1.

The past few VGM contests have had, like, no Mega Man music, so with the power given to me, I set out on a grand quest to rectify this crime. My intent with this one was to try to trick people into thinking that this was a Gen 4 Pokémon song because it sounds like a Sinnoh town theme, complete with the famous Sinnoh piano sample. But no one fell for it . I guess this means a lot of people know this soundtrack though, which is good because it's amazing.

11. Pokémon Gold & Silver - Victory Road (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 16 people, series guessed by 4.

Speaking of Pokémon: the Ichinose/Masuda dynamic in the Pokémon Gen II soundtrack is absolutely hilarious to me. Ichinose's tracks are all carefully crafted to make the GB's three voices sound as delicate and pretty as possible, whereas most of Masuda's stuff just sounds like this. I think the soundtrack is more fun for it, but I have to imagine Ichinose must've been a bit frustrated by this.

12. Ihatovo Monogatari - Kenjuu’s Village 1 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

This song is so pretty! What's funny is that for Kenjuu's Village 2, they just took this song and changed it to be in major, stripping it of all its appeal and elegance in the process. Or maybe it happened the other way around, but the major version sounds so clumsy that I can't imagine it having been composed first.

13. Tomodachi Life - Public Hall (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 2 people.

Tomodachi Life is a very funny and charming game with some great tracks, but it's also one of those games that will burn its jingles into your brain. I wanted to pick a track like this to create something that sounded vaguely familiar but you couldn't quite put your finger on.

14. Ares - F.R.E.D.’s Theme (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

This is nice and all but I feel like they're ripping off Chill from Dr. Mario.

15. Darkstalkers 3 / Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampires - Concrete Cave (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 5 people, series guessed by 2.

It's funny when incredibly mellow music plays while people bash each other's heads in in fighting games. Not that I mind it though - this song is really good. Also I like Jon Talbain

16. Mega Man Soccer - Pharaoh Field (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 5 people.

Mega Man Soccer is an anomaly in the timeline and I thought it would be funny to put a song from it.

17. Asterix & Obelix - Swiss Frontier (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 11 people.

This wasn't actually intended to be an easy one - I was just thinking of what games to put to fill out the last few slots and remembered this game, which I know solely because of Miscellaneous Monument from JUMP, and found this song. I put it in because it had Swiss in the title and that is heehee hoohoo funny. (It helps that it's also a cool song though)

18. Fortress 2 Blue - Life is So Beautiful (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 3 people.

MIDI gala 1/3

Everyone who knows a bit about SMW hacks should be familiar with Fortress 2 Blue's music, though this track in particular is probably not as well-known. I find it pretty catchy though (and well-produced within the GM constraints). [MIDI file]

19. Gubble 2 - Cave 3 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

MIDI gala 2/3

Like most people, I learned about this game through the one and only Jolpengammler. The game itself looks pretty dinky, but the music actually holds up pretty well, especially this song. The bit starting at 1:35 gets me everytime (also that descending lick is totally stolen from We're the Robots). [MIDI file]

20. RuneScape - Wonder (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by Medic!

MIDI gala 3/3

I generally don't care a lot for the RuneScape soundtrack, but this song does something for me. Feels like it belongs in Pikmin 2 or something (which, spoilers, I've also picked a song from). [MIDI file]

21. SpongeBob: Battle for Bikini Bottom - SpongeBob’s Dream (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by nobody.

Totally topical pick since the remake of this game is coming out soon. This song is so cool, and it's the exact kind of weird electronic music I love. Something about wacky noises makes me, as the kids say nowadays, go "Poggers"

22. Yokai Dochuki / Shadowland - BGM (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 4 people.

This sounds like it could be a YMO song. Maybe it is and I don't know it. Anyway, I love how gleeful and quirky this soundtrack is - shame that a lot of it is just short jingles and such.

23. The Binding of Isaac: Antibirth - Hallowed Ground (Downpour) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 5 people, series guessed by 2.

This fan-made expansion has one of my favorite video game OSTs period, and I'm glad to see that a bunch of other people know it . Seriously, if you like this track, give the rest of the OST a listen. It's the perfect blend of atmospheric while still being memorable and... having actual melodies... which is something that the official Rebirth kinda failed to deliver on.

24. Plok - Rocket Launcher (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 15 people.

Plok is a gremlin man that terrifies me

25. Bug Fables - Swamp Where Dreams Drown (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 2 people.

Bug Fables is a very cool Paper Mario styled game that is good and I like it!!! So I put a song from it here!!! To be honest, though, I thought more people would get it 'cuz Bug Fables songs all sound very distinct with the samples they use. I did try to pick a slightly less obvious song than just Chapter 1 or whatever, but either way, I have been failed :pensive:

26. Do-Re-Mi Fantasy - Cooking Contest (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

This game has some very pretty tracks, interspersed with all sorts of silly stuff like this. It lends the soundtrack a certain joie de vivre that I like a lot. For a while, I was considering picking Underwater Tranquility instead (which would've been the complete opposite of this song in terms of mood).

27. Ganbare Goemon 2 - Fortress (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 9 people, series guessed by 4.

This song was introduced to me through Rockman Deus Ex Machina (thanks Jupi). I don't actually know anything about the source game I just know that this song is really good

28. Ace Attorney Investigations - Calisto Yew ~ Let Me Laugh at the Cool (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 9 people, series guessed by 1.

29. Evenicle - Adan’s Force (Picked by Sinc-X)
Guessed by 4 people.

wow y’all horny af for getting this one (yes, this is a hentai game, as it is tradition for me to include a hentai game song, obviously. no, i haven’t played it. though it has shockingly good reviews. probably from more horny weebs)

30. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Prologue (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 10 people.

"the man with no name..."

Umbra Noctis "Aim Sure Pro" Tenebrae

Background

A toad of unknown age and identity with a mysterious past. working as a mercenary in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Arriving only two years ago,he has already made a name for himself with his extreme combat skills and cool personality. Even though noone knows who he is or where he's from,people every where recognize him as the "baddest as* of the Mushroom Kingdom"

Personality

His personality is cool.
He is very witty and has many catch phrases that he uses often like "Youre a real piece of pie huh" said sarcastically to something but NEVER to an actual pie
"I'm the janitor and you're the kind of trash that's from the garbage" said to a bad guy
He is also known for his dislike of police,referring to them as "cop$" "Pig$$$" or "poolice" or "copper coin$"

Abilities

One of his eyes is red so he wears sun glasses
His favorite gun is the Dessert Eagle and his sword of choice is the Katana
He has the unique ability of being able to wield both a gun and a sword at the same time,making him unstoppable at all ranges. Only 1 other person has this ability,and it's Bowser
His power level is currently unknown but most researchers estimate it to be around the 50000-66000 range

31. Drill Dozer - Sunken Kuru Ruins (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 3 people.

I love GBA/DS-era Ichinose, but I didn't want to pick another Pokémon song, so my only other option was Drill Dozer. This soundtrack is brilliant, with this track in particular being as fresh and memorable as any main-series Pokémon song.

32. Mega Man 8 (PS1) - Boss (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 17 people, series guessed by 1.

My personal contribution to Pyro's Megaman-themed crusade. This song is also me in real life.

33. Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth - Jungle Quest (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 6 people, series guessed by 3.

I was introduced to this game's soundtrack via a MaGMML: Episode Zero submission (out soon!!) and man is it a cool soundtrack. Just all around really catchy. After listening to a bunch of songs, I just kinda picked one I really liked randomly :p

34. Game & Wario - Pirates (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 2 people.

This game sure exists. I originally wanted to use Stumblebot from WarioWare Twisted, but I thought that was too obvious and then my brain reminded me that Game & Wario was a game that came out at one point. This song, despite being from a game that fell into the void, still has a pretty distinct Wario vibe to it (like a Shake It!! song or something), though.

35. Mibibli’s Quest - Humanibli Theme (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by Maniek!

For some reason, this was my takeaway from this soundtrack. I don't even think this track is that great, but something about it must've been memorable enough to me that it's stuck around in my memory.

36. Ratchet & Clank - Planet Eudora: Logging Site (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by SaigaiAbusoru!

Anything with low rhodes has my seal of approval. Also, how on earth did so many people miss this one? I was under the impression that this game was a certified PS2 classic.

37. Newer Super Mario Bros. DS - Tower (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 8 people, series guessed by 19.

An extremely evil pick. I actually wanted to use the Castle theme from this romhack at first (which IS an original composition, and is extremely good), but then when going through the soundtrack I found this song and the evil seed was planted in my head. It's got the same melody, but just enough changes to let you know something's off. A lot of people guessed New Super Mario Bros. Wii for this, which I was pretty surprised about, since this pretty clearly is using DS instruments. By the way, this romhack is actually really cool and I encourage everyone to check it out.

38. Mega Man Network Transmission - Zero Gravity Area (StarMan’s Stage) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 4 people, series guessed by 1.

This was the last Mega Man song added, mostly because I realized that Battle Network was the only subseries I didn't have a song from yet (except Legends, which, in my opinion, does not exist). Network Transmission was the obvious choice to nab a song from since this is a super-unique and pretty beloved Mega Man soundtrack (and the GBA quota is met later anyways).

39. Bubsy 3D - Daze of Thunder (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

This intro is awesome - and totally unfitting compared to the whimsical nonsense that makes up the rest of the song (as well as the rest of the soundtrack). I wonder how that snuck in here.

40. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam - Holding Hands in the Darkness (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 8 people, series guessed by 7.

This one got a lot of people, too. Yeah, it's a remix of the classic underground theme, but from where? Well, it's from Paper Jam, which nobody actually played. This did start as me searching for a Paper Jam song due to that fact, and I ran across this remix, and once again, an evil seed was planted. Really, since nobody played Paper Jam, your best hint here is that it uses the same piano and cymbal sounds that later Mario & Luigi soundtracks tend to use.

41. Sora no Kiseki SC / The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC - The Fate of the Fairies (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 4 people, series guessed by 3.

Follow-up to the song from this series from the last contest. That song has seen more popular use in other random places, but the rest of the soundtrack, not so much (at least I think??).

42. Winnie the Pooh’s Home Run Derby - Main Theme (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 2 people.

Yep, it's the legendary game itself. But, to tell the truth, I was reminded of this song because a recently released Mega Man romhack, "Rockman 6 Unique Harassment" (yes, that's actually what it's called), used this song for its password screen, which is one of the greatest power moves I've ever seen, honestly.

43. Gun Knight Girl - MOVIN’! (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

Please excuse the thumbnail. This song sounds like Talesweaver but punchier, which I like.

44. Ristar - Round 4-2 - On Parade ~Planet Sonata~ (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 6 people.

Ristar's soundtrack has been one that's always been on my radar, even though I've never actually played the game. When browsing through music for this contest, though, I found this bizarro theme, which enraptured me instantly.

45. Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories - Library Menu (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 2 people.

Sorry for the slightly janky video - best I could find. This is a great and authentically PS1-y soundtrack that consists mostly of heroic fantasy-type songs, but also frequently veers off into the territory of whatever this is called. Well worth a listen.

46. Kirby Canvas Curse / Kirby Power Paintbrush - Collapse Castle (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 8 people, series guessed by 2.

Kirby Canvas Curse's soundtrack is absolutely bonkers and I find it hard to describe. Did anyone even know this is a remix of Float Islands?? I'm guessing more people got this through Canvas Curse's soundtrack being extremely recognizeable rather than the song being a remix of a well-known Kirby song.

47. EarthBound - Deeper Into Ness’ Subconscious (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 12 people.

People comment "this sounds like Earthbound" on anything remotely weird-sounding but it never actually does. I think it's quite hard to properly mimic this soundtrack, actually. Anyway, this song probably isn't that memorable for most players (hence why I picked it), but it's actually one of my favorites off this soundtrack. Really nice texture that constantly oscillates between calm and unsettling.

48. VA-11 HALL-A: Cyberpunk Bartending Action - Go Go Streaming Chan! (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 6 people.

I'm sorry

49. Radirgy - 24/7 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 2 people.

Having listened to a lot of Touhou House Sets when I was younger, this soundtrack is very nostalgic-sounding to me. Certainly a far cry from most shmup soundtracks, which I like. I only picked this song because it's probably less well-known(???) - the other songs are all worthwhile too.

50. Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMIND - Vs. Data Luxord
Guessed by Maniek!

I knew I wanted to put a Kingdom Hearts song in here somewhere, but KH songs are ridiculously recognizeable due to their love of violins and other such string instruments. My plan here was twofold: confuse listeners with the electronic sounds in the beginning, and to incessantly annoy people by including a remix of a well-known song to create that "where have I heard this before" feeling. There's even a port of the original song on the site. How well my plan worked, I will leave up to you to decide.

51. Secret of Evermore - Ivor Tower - Castle (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 6 people.

I dunno why, but there's some weird indescribable recognizeablity in all the SNES-era Square RPGs (yes I know this game is an action RPG not a turn based RPG shush). It's probably due to them using a lot of similar samples, at least from what I've heard. This game in particular I picked 'cuz RoahmMythril is LPing it AS WE SPEAK (wow!!)

52. ZeroRanger - Ranger Machine March (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 3 people.

Shoutouts to CSketch and Yoshiatom

53. Nekketsu Oyako - Big Black: Lv 49 (Picked by Sinc-X)
Guessed by nobody.

this was originally an extreme song, but this game is actually apparently fairly well known? the music clearly isn’t but the playthroughs on yt have decent view counts. anyway this is very clearly by hyakutaro tsukumo of thunder force, hyper duel, etc fame, but there is no discography anywhere that credits this game to him, so it was kind of a mean pick in that regard :^)

54. Super Monkey Ball 2 - Inside a Whale (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 4 people, series guessed by 1.

55. An Untitled Story - Ninja Battle (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 3 people.

I was reminded of this song when I picked the song for E2. I've never played this game but this song in particular is a jam.

56. Raiga: Strato Fighter - Pendulum (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a decent recording of this track (assuming this isn't just how it sounds ingame). I'd love to hear a clean version of this song cause it's really cool, if a bit underdeveloped.

57. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Dark Wasteland (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 6 people, series guessed by 1.

PMD2 is easily my favorite VGM soundtrack of all time, so I knew I had to shoehorn it into here somehow. I wouldn't say this is my favorite PMD2 track (though the bit starting at 1:16 is very sexy), but I figured I should pick a bonus episode song to make things a bit less obvious.

58. Breath of Fire II - Dying Corpse (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 14 people.

My only exposure to Breath of Fire in any sense is through Mega Man X: Command Mission. I looked up the soundtrack of this game when searching for songs and absolutely lost it at the fact that this song just uses MMX guitars (which I think fooled a couple people into thinking this was from MMX or even the composter).

59. Juusei to Diamond / Diamond and the Sound of a Gunshot - Black Wave (Picked by Sinc-X)
Guessed by 2 people.

this is not a game i know anything about, but man i was hooked so hard when i happened upon its music. it has such a unique flair that’s super different from the style i’m used to from keisuke ito which is really cool. this song in particular is my favorite as it is just overflowing with emotion, without even needing the game context

60. Snipperclips - Retro Reboot C (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by Skye!

I made sure to pick a Snipperclips song that has no cuicas, as that would be too much of a giveaway. This song has kind of a weak start, but everything from 0:31 on is very sweet. Too bad none of that played in the snippet.

61. *COMPOSTER* (“Picked” by Lazy)
Guessed by FYRE150!

Many people have correctly surmised that this is Chrono Trigger............'s sountfont. Unfortunately, that alone did not net them any points. As for the composition, it's just an old sketch I had laying around. It's in "π/4", but that really just means it's a sloppily played waltz.

62. Thunder Force IV - Simmer Down (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 7 people, series guessed by 1.

Move over Sonic Adventure title screen theme, this is the loudest soundtrack in existence. I've mostly been exposed to this soundtrack via romhacks (eg Metal Squad from this game as well because of course) and this soundtrack is so distinct even among Genesis soundtracks that I knew I had to put something from it in here.

63. Streets of Rage 3 - Moon (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 6 people, series guessed by 1.

Last time, bebn dunked on Streets of Rage 3, which is absolutely unforgivable. Here is something to remedy that.

64. Psycho Waluigi - Gloomy Grotto (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by Blue Leaf! Series guessed by 6 people.

I really wanted to have a song from a fangame in here and Psycho Waluigi seemed like the obvious choice. But since half of that game's soundtrack is Waluigi Pinball remixes (which is completely fine, just so you know), I tried to pick a different song that would be more of a mystery unless you've played the game (or Wario Land 2, which is where the song originated, and if you guessed Wario I counted it as a series guess).

65. Tactical Soccer - Waltz of M (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

I'm gonna come clean, this one was just me shuffling through the SNES collection until I found something remotely interesting. I've no idea what this game is.

66. Bayonetta - Summoning of Beastly Demons (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 7 people.

The past two VGM contests I put in Bayonetta as a series guess for a song in each one and I was wrong both times. This contest, I have rectified this injustice by actually putting in a Bayonetta song.

67. The Angry Video Game Nerd 2: ASSimilation - A Critical Battle (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by Igno!

68. Mole Mania - Stage 2 & 6 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 4 people.

I came to know about this song because anonymousbl00dlust always played it on his stream. It's kind of a mess, but of a pleasant kind.

69. Wario Land 4 - Hurry Up! (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 21 people, series guessed by 1.

An easy one, but that's fine because this song is so freaking good! I love the bells at the start, the way it builds up, those detunes starting at 1:47, how the background line keeps dis- and undistoring itself, and how you're just left with panicky beeping at the end. Admittedly, a lot of this song doesn't make sense outside the context of how it's used in the game, but still.

70. Ninja Baseball Bat Man - Chicago (Stage 6) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by TruffledToad!

This soundtrack is so weird and funky. Was introduced to this via the famous masterpiece Cop Mario which used a different song in a lategame stage, and I figured another song from the same soundtrack would be a good pick.

71. Decap Attack - Level 4 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by TruffledToad!

thanks ribs

72. Raiden V - Dive to Atrocity (Picked by Sinc-X)
Guessed by nobody.

yoshimi kudo is one of my new favorite composers after hearing this soundtrack for the first time. its crazy unique and i love the way he structures his music, it has such a great flow. It allllmost makes me want to try again to like shmup games…..

73. Grapple Force Rena - Skybound Siege (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 4 people.

This soundtrack is a bit of a mixed bag, courtesy of having 7 composers. This is one of the songs I like. It also sounds fairly authentically retro for a 2018 game, which hopefully threw the guessers off

74. 20XX - Vaculabs (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 5 people.

Technically not a Mega Man song! This is one of those games that has been sitting in my Steam library for years and I still haven't gotten around to playing it. Maybe one day Mr. 20XX

75. Hotel Mario - Hotel 1 (Variation 2) (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 7 people.

I know it's Hotel Mario and all, but this song honestly goes off. It's widely known that the intro theme is a rehash of an old movie score, so I have to wonder if this track also has its origins elsewhere.

76. Ed, Edd n' Eddy: Scam of the Century - Jawbreakers (Invincibility) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by nobody.

Disappointed that there's no other hardcore Ed Edd n' Eddy fan around here that got this. Shame on you, Super Mario World Central Dot Net

77. WarioWare D.I.Y. - Record ~ 5 Minutes (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 3 people.

The demo records are a relatively obscure part of the WarioWare D.I.Y. soundtrack, but the soundfont is so distinct that it should still be easily recognizable for those who have played or seen this game. I always thought this record in particular made really good use of the (very shoddy) ingame music editor. Also, the random fusion-y bit at 0:32 always makes me laugh.

78. Sonic Advance 3 - Cyber Track Act 3 (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 9 people.

I'm a big fan of the super-crunchy GBA sound chip for whatever reason, and the Sonic Advance soundtracks are all even more perfect crunchiness. I wanted to use Act 1 of Cyber Track since that's the song I actually really love, but I thought that would be too obvious so I used Act 3 instead. Genius plan, I know.

79. *IMPOSTOR* Mort Garson - Music to Soothe the Savage Snake Plant (Picked by Lazy)
Imposter guessed by 2 people.

Instead of listening to video game music, you ought to start growing a garden like a responsible grown man.

80. Hoshi wo Miru Hoto / Stargazers - Boss Battle (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by SaigaiAbusoru!

I really like the juxtaposition of you listening to the super calm and chill imposter and then you just get this complete garbage. If you don't know what this game is, I encourage you to look it up, as it's probably one of the funniest things ever.

81. Pikmin 2 - Dweevil's Dugout (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 2 people.

I love how understated and strange the Pikmin 2 dungeon themes are. The whole dynamic soundtrack thing didn't translate too well into this youtube video, but it's still a fun listen.

82. Nuclear Throne - Frozen City (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 8 people.

Nuclear Throne is another really cool indie game I like with a super-distinct soundtrack. Lots of electric guitar and banjo and other instruments that I probably will mis-identify so I just won't even try. But this soundtrack is still very cool and fits the atmosphere of the game really well and I like it :}

83. Dynamite Headdy - I Sing (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 5 people.

This song always gets me hyped, especially the rollercoaster of a solo starting at 1:06. I love the little awkward drum fill they squeezed in right before the solo, as if to say "ok time to go stupid".

84. Scribblenauts Unlimited - The Listy Colon (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by nobody.

I have a ton of nostalgia for this series in particular, and I sunk kind-of-unholy amounts of time into Super and Unlimited. The first two games don't really have anything noteworthy in terms of soundtracks, but Unlimited really stepped it up a notch. I mean, come on. Listen to the song.

85. Super Donkey Kong '99 - World 1 (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 6 people.

There's a lot of overtly stolen bootleg music out there, but what sets this track apart from the others is the completely pointless modulation up a half step that imbues this otherwise cheerful tune with a creeping air of anxiety. What a power move.
Also, contrary to popular belief, this was not used in any Mario bootlegs (and not in any actual Mario games either, of course).

86. EVE Burst Error - Speculation II (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 3 people.

Ah, my favorite genre: Ace Attorney thinking music

87. Mega Man X7 - Soul Asylum (Crimson Palace Stage 2) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 8 people, series guessed by 1.

Did you know this is a Mega Man song? It's great! This song and the context it plays in are so gloriously stupid that I knew I had to include it. I'm glad a bunch of people got this too because that means people know the X7 soundtrack and that's a very good thing because I really love that soundtrack. I just think this song is funny..

88. Mega Man Zero 4 - Ragnarok Core (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 8 people, series guessed by 1.

I was searching through the last contest to make sure I didn't have any accidental overlap with songs, and I noticed that contest's 88 was from "Ragnarok Tactics". Me, being the comedic genius that I am, decided this was the perfect opportunity to put this song in, because it's from an (amazing) stage called Ragnarok Core. I am very clever and funny.

89. Mega Man Star Force 2 - Requiem of Ruin (Alternate Future) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 2 people.

It was at this point that I realized I had an accidental theme of "fucked up themes used in Mega Man refight areas" going on, so I knew I had to complete the trio. Well, this technically isn't a refight area, it's actually just an extremely lazy postgame dungeon, but also, shut up.

90. Barkley: Shut Up And Jam Gaiden - Chup (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 5 people, series guessed by 1.

People tend to single out the boss theme or the epic mashup as the highlight of this vidcon soundtrack, but for me it was this. It's just a pleasant track.

91. Power Strike II / GG Aleste II - Space Plant (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by SomeGuy712x!

Not much to say about this other than that this entire soundtrack is lovely and does a great job at adding elegant colors to what would otherwise be regular shmup music.

92. Spark the Electric Jester - Lunar Bass (Stage 10) (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 7 people.

This is kind of a follow-up to the Sonic ATS song used in the last contest. Seriously, though, this game's soundtrack is godlike and I encourage everyone to give it a listen. This song in particular also keeps making me think it will break out into Trails on Powdery Snow from MMZ3 at any moment and that incessantly bothers me.

93. Diddy Kong Racing - Darkmoon Cavern (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 18 people.

You know, I grew up with Diddy Kong Racing and somehow I still associate this song with the port of it more than the actual game.

94. Escaped Chasm - Ruined House (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

Truly the most epic of Toby Fox's works

95. A Super Mario Bros. X Thing - Luna Tower (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by Igno!

I was talking with a friend about ASMT and then was reminded of how insanely good this song is. The best part isn't even in the clip you guys got though because it's past the 40 second mark

96. Kirby's Return to Dream Land - Key Challenge (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by 9 people, series guessed by 2.

I've nothing to say about this. The next song is really good, though.

97. Suzuki Bakuhatsu - Closing Theme (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by fsvgm777!

So did anyone else just randomly get TASes of this game recommended to them on YouTube?? I know I did, and I am still confused as to what this game is. This song is funny, though, and very un-video-game-y, and as such I guess it acted as a fake imposter.

98. La-Mulana 2 - Bloody Star (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by SomeGuy712x!

I like it when gamedevs bother to create full songs for extremely minor areas you're unlikely to be in for longer than ten seconds. It makes it feel like the devs (or at least the composers) genuinely cared about the game they were making. Another example would be the lake theme from Pokémon Gen IV, which has a gorgeous second half that the average player might never actually hear.

99. Shanghai II - Panic (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by 4 people.

(note the video link is timestamped, which may not work on all devices)
Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that it's obviously a song by Sunsoft I wonder how many people would have still gotten this one. I only know this song because it's been "remixed" in some MaGMML games. (If you got it through there say hi to me!!!)

100. Viewpoint (Neo Geo) - Mes Volutes Bleues (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by Ruberjig!

And of course, the last track has to be credits music (consider the extreme songs postgame). This game has isometric credits, which is as stupid as it sounds.

EXTREME SONGS

E1. F-117 Night Storm - Title Screen (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

No video.

I found out about this song through a youtube channel that posts corrupted version of video game music. Upon further investigation, I found there were no uploads of the actual original song, so I went and recorded it myself through an emulator. Not surprised that nobody got this.

E2. Abducted Toad - Black Hole Area (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by nobody.

Anyone else play this game?? It's very good. This is a sort of follow-up to that extreme pick of Super Mario War two contests ago. This fangame isn't super well-known but does have a few original tracks to its name that are all quite good, especially this one. Even if you do know about this game, though, chances are you probably don't know it if you haven't played it because it's the final level theme (and also sounds like a royalty free song instead of anything distinct).

E3. Impetuth - Midboss (Picked by Sinc-X)
Guessed by SomeGuy712x!

this was originally not an extreme song and was in place of nekketsu oyako. however i determined that this game is much less known, and there’s hardly any information on it online. so its pretty ironic that this one was actually guessed and nekketsu oyako wasn’t, huh. In any case this soundtrack rules, it’s got both shinji hosoe and shoichiro sakamoto on board, two absolute musical powerhouses, and every song is fantastic. I like the time signatures in this one in particular

E4. Mr. Capital! - Theme (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

From a 48 hour game jam. You're more likely to find out about the game through the music than the other way around. Incidentally, fluidvolt is a great composer - definitely check out their other stuff if you like this.

E5. Wing Force - Unused 2 (Picked by snoruntpyro)
Guessed by nobody.

I was struggling for a bit to find something that was sufficently extreme enough to fill this slot and then my good buddy Yoshiatom (shoutouts to Yoshiatom) said "I just wasted my time by making a TCRF article for this obscure unreleased shmup game" and I promptly nabbed something off of its soundtrack. Helps that this song is also awesome though.

E6. Phantasy Star Online 2 (Vol. 8) - DIZTOWRE QUE (Picked by Sinc-X)
Guessed by SomeGuy712x!

No video.

hey this game isnt obscure at all what are you doing you moron!!! I hear you say. well, dear listener, i say to you: yes i am a moron but also this song is a very recent one, which i could not find any video of (as with a lot of vol 8). it’ s also my favorite of the songs i chose for this contest. I absolutely adore mitsuharu fukuyama’s work, his control of rhythm and progression is absolutely insane in almost every track he does, this being no exception

E7. Kenkō Ōen Recipe 1000: DS Kondate Zenshū - Cook (Picked by Lazy)
Guessed by nobody.

The most obscure Kazumi Totaka song I could find. It's not even that interesting, rip.

And now it's time to announce the winners!

The Results:

In 3rd place, we have:

SomeGuy712x with 75 points!

Coming in 2nd is:

Maniek with 88 points!

And the overall winner is:

Igno with 95 points!

To all of the top 3 - please send me a message, either on the site or Discord, with your Steam username, ASAP. Steam will require for whatever reason that you friend me, then wait 3 days, and then I can send over your gift cards. If this is too much to ask, your prize will be forfeited.

Here are the full results, where x^ is a series guess (1 point), x is a full guess (2 points, or 3 for the composter), and x** indicates a full guess plus being the only one to guess that song correctly (2 + 1 = 3 points). Recall that Extreme songs are worth 2 extra points for a correct guess (so 1 point for series, 4 points for full, 5 points for only guesser). +I indicates that the impostor was guessed (but not necessarily identified). Bold indicates the compostor.

Anyway, that’s it from us! Hopefully, the change of cast has breathed a bit of fresh air into this contest. As you might’ve been able to tell, we had a lot of fun picking out songs and writing dumb blurbs. Thank you all for participating, and until next time!
P.S. If you notice any errors in the results, please let one of us know right away - there was a lot to keep track of, so it’s not unlikely we missed a couple things despite our best efforts to keep things organized.

fuck now I have to play abducted toad again

I did good.

Jeez, no wonder why I couldn't figure most of them out. I'm really not sure why I bother. I should have at least gotten the series for 88, though, with that soundfont. Also, I could have sworn that The Fate of the Fairies was used in the first Trails in the Sky game as well, during the martial arts competition. I must have misremembered that battle theme.

----------------

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.

well,

I didn't do good

because I didn't join

But damn, I would've never guessed a lot of those (with the possible exception of the Earthbound one?). This contest was obscure.

Also holy shit, this thread is slow as heck. The videos should be linked to instead.

I should play more vidya games.

I also spent way too long playing that winnie the pooh game

4th place hell yeah!
This was so fun to do. Hours of browsing through Zophar paid off! Thanks for setting this up!

You're thinking of this one

linktree (music, socials, etc)

12th place, good for a first try

Just some Ys fan lol

Huh, I was honestly expecting to be placed just a tad higher, but honestly... I'm hella satisfied for the results here lmao; definitely feel like I could've gotten a hell of a lot more had I tried just a bit more, but... yeah, considering I tried extra hard this time, I don't think I should complain haha

Tbh, a lot of these fucked me over hard, but I feel like the ones that did it the most were 15 and 53; 15 because it was so obvious it was a CPS2 song (for me anyways) that I'm honestly ashamed that I didn't guess it was a Darkstalkers song (despite the fact I did thought it was from it, but my inexperience with that game's soundtrack made me think otherwise), and 53 is for the same reasons, except because it was so obvious that it was a Hyakutaro Tsukumo song, but despite the fucking intense searching I did by looking through his discography on VGMdb and looking through KHInsider's MP3 uploads of his OSTs, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised the game actually ended up just being one that I outright forgot that was from Tsukumo (and one that I'm not too familiar with and only found out because of a cover I've heard on Soundcloud), so that kind of sucks; at the very least tho I found 52 out because I was also thinking Qwesta was the one which did that one, so at least I didn't go out empty-handed haha still tho, fuck you Sinc for somehow fucking me over hard like that wherever you put in a Tsukumo song >:[

Layout by Mathos

Hell, I played Escaped Chasm and I'm a Toby Fox fan, why I couldn't remember it

Also, shoutouts for the chads who picked and guessed Ghouls ‘n Ghosts (C64), Bug Fables (please play this one guys), Newer SMBDS, An Untitled Story, and Shanghai II (Sunsoft Bass).

The deadline slipped past me, but it seems most of my guesses were completely off anyway lmao. Dunno if I'm more impressed by just how obscure a lot of these are, or by how people were able to recognize most of them.

Surprised nobody guessed the Battle for Bikini Bottom theme, though. That was like, one of the few that explicitly caught my recognition.

Also I appreciate the heck out of the Spark the Electric Jester and An Untitled Story inclusions.

Hell yeah didn't guessed the game but I recognised the artist if the first song. Camellia FTW. That's a win in my book.

Other than that I only found songs from popular Nintendo games or from SNES games that exist in custom musics so I'm hella surprised I didn't get a lower placement.

Edit: some other comments for myself
17: Guessed it because I have the game on my SNES, not because of custom musics like all of you >:^(
26: Damn this game is on my backlog. If I played it I would've maybe found it.
29: This one too is on my backlog. :^) Come on mg, release a physical version!
31: It's GBA Gamefreak soundfount. If it's not pokemon it's Drill Dozer ofc.
32: In my backlog too (this and 11 are the only classic MM I haven't played)
42: I FREAKIN RECOGNIZED THIS SONG BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHERE, IT WAS FROM THIS HECK OF A GAME§§§
44: Wait why did I not recognize Ristar? I suck!
49: Very funky! Love it.
73: In my answer I said I recognize it but don't remember the game. But actually I never played this game, don't even know what is this game. Weird...
75: I guessed Mario&Wario. Close enough.
78: The Sonic Advance are in my backlog too.
85: I guessed a Mario bootleg. Didn't got a point but I'm not wrong.
95: My guess was "I've heard a custom music with the same samples... Castlevania?" Well it's technically a custom music but...
Also many songs I guessed were touhou remixes but there isn't any.

gg to all

Cool, 3rd place. I'll certainly take that.

Now for comments about a few of the songs I missed:

06. D'oh, I typed just "Keyboard Mania", so I only got the series point.
29. Really, hentai? Yeah, I never would've come close to getting that one.
34. D'oh, I had searched Game & Wario while trying to figure out 64, but wasn't focused on song 34 at the time, so I didn't make the association.
37. Ah, I knew that one was a trick. I searched all variations of the Tower theme I could think of, but it never occurred to me to check the "Newer" hack.
52. D'oh, I had checked ZeroRanger while focused on other songs. My mind didn't link it to song 52, though.
64. Argh, I searched every Wario game I could think of, knowing it was a remix of Wario Land 2's factory theme, but Psycho Waluigi never came to mind in the process.
77. Same as what I said for 34, but replace "Game & Wario" with "WarioWare DIY".
80. Oh, I should've known that one, maybe. I knew it sounded familiar, and I believe I watched an AGDQ run of that game (in an Awful Block, of course) fairly recently.
E7. I thought this one had sounded familiar to me, but maybe not, as I don't recognize that game at all. Maybe this song is just very similar to another one I was thinking of instead.

Oh, and about 46... Was I given full credit for that? I only said "46 - Sounds like it might be from a Kirby game.", but in the results for me, I see "46", but without the "^" that would indicate the series guess. I figured I'd just ask about that. (Seeing how I'm 13 points away from both 2nd and 4th place, this 1 point wouldn't affect anything anyway.)

Also, this page with over 100 embedded YouTube videos lagged my computer horribly badly for some reason. It took a very long time before I was able to even post this reply. Is it possible in future VGM contests to maybe have all of the embedded videos be on another page, with the main results thread just having simple links instead?

Kinda dropped out on joining because I wasn't really satisfied with the answers so I wish I had submitted my initial draft. There was one song that I knew that nobody else did so I'm sad about that.

Nonetheless, congrats to the winners and participants!

Whoops, that was a copying error on my part. Doesn't affect the scores (since the scores are calculated separately before i manually translate them into results like this)

I'll consider the options, assuming I host the next one.

I guess that's the most unusual way to introduce yourself, but hi I'm Igno and I have been lurking around these lands for a while...

About the contest, wow that was fun! It was my first time participating a contest of that kind, and it provided me an unique experience as I had contact with such remarkable musical diversity. It definetely was a great mental exercise involving memory, research skills and general VGM knowledge. The picks were awesome to say the least, obscure as I like it (and at the same time hate it). Also congratulations to Maniek and SomeGuy712x for second and third places!

~~There's way too much mega man though~~

pft, even the 37, 40 and 64, and 85 (!) that I was so sure about were... wrong.
I knew I had no incentive in trying to guess but tried anyways.

I'm usually not interested in game music I don't know, so I wouldn't spend hours on zophar like this another commenter. Probs the last time I'm choosing to take this contest with limited knowledge.

Congrats to all the ~~nerds~~ winners

Especially congratulations to Igno, our enthusiastic new recruit!!!
Welcome buddy. This is golden.

Edit: OH! For 31 I was sure of Pokémon because of Ichinose's style!!! So, not too far away. Come one gimme half a point for that lmao.

Edit2: Come on 85!!! I'm i shock. Exact same melody appears in Super Mario Bros SMAS bonus room. I just thought it was somewhat adulterated LOL! UNFAIR!

Edit3: Well ok I am grumpy and all but it was cool enjoying the tracks at least. Just the frustration of not knowing where they're from was uncool because I've felt like the uncultured swine that I am.

I am honestly not surprised I was the only one who guessed 97 (Suzuki Bakuhatsu), because I happen to be the publisher of these TASes.

BTW, the game is about defusing increasingly weird bombs. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.

Anyway, this was overall a fun contest.
