This continues the article series on my Top 100! Here's a small recap of what I'm doing:

Let's go!

Star Ocean: The Second Story - Dynamite

I figure I'm a big fan of boss themes. I mean, they are what you fight under during the big showdowns in RPGs. SO2's track is one of the best out there. Driving beat and "this is it" feel get it up here. That'll be about 20 points.

#39
Sonic Rush Adventure – Sky Babylon Zone Act 1

This theme is like a mix of new-school Sonic music and some groovin' classic music. An achievement for the latter-day Sega, I'll tell you that. That whistle-led main section followed by the breakdown is just one reason I play this game.

#38
Final Fantasy X – To Zanarkand

What a touching song. I don't even know what it is that makes it so good. It's another piano song, for one. But I remember listening to this when the first PS2 FF game came over. I was blown away.

#37
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island – Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy

This is one great riddim. Maracas and a funky melody lead the charge on this one. I dare you to not want to dance on this one.

#36
Final Fantasy VII – On That Day 5 Years Ago

Were you expecting One-Winged Angel? While I do like the song, I do not like the original version. I like the remixed ones a lot better. This, however, was just incredible. I remember this playing whenever something heavy was going down. This is one of the few songs that actually made my cold heart twinge a little.

#35
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess – Midna's Desperate Hour

During the part of the game where this song plays, you have to get Midna help as fast as you can. This was the turning point between Midna being a great character to becoming one of my favorite Zelda characters. This song was so immersing and important-sounding. Just a beautiful song.

#34
Chrono Trigger – Manoria Cathedral

Naturally, Chrono Trigger has great music. However, this is the only one that has made me literally put the controller down and listen for extended periods of time (besides Lucca's Theme). I'm sure Lantis is having a fit about CT, the "greatest game ever made", having a song spot so low. What can I say? The song is chilling and relaxing at the same time.

#33
StarTropics II: Zoda's Revenge – Dungeon Theme 2

This is the greatest dungeon theme I've ever heard. Mike Jones is here on his second (and last) appearance on the countdown, and this one is a doozy. Listen and be amazed by the awesome. FYI, it's just the first part before it changes to something else.

#32
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – Windmill Hut/Song of Storms

The Song of Storms is awesome. Hell, play it on a rainy day. I'd play it even if I didn't want rain. And I'd spend more than the required time in the Windmill Hut with that strange guy just to hear it over and over again. Special props to Gerudo Valley, though.

#31
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time – Sewer Surfin'

COWABUNGA!!!! Hang 10 in the sewers, dudes! PIZZA POWER! Greatest song from the greatest SNES beat-em-up.
