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

Let's go!

Sonic Rush - A New Day

This is the first time you'll see Sonic series on this list, but certainly not the last! Sonic Rush's special stage music is pretty damn nice. I was gonna choose "Wrapped in Black" for this, but I think I like listening to this one much better. Hence, it got the nod.

Sonic R - Can You Feel the Sunshine?

I remember going into my local Toys 'R Us during the Saturn launch and getting the first glimpse of my pal Sonic's new look. Sonic R? How cool was that? There were other characters, but I didn't really care. It was Cool Blue running in a tropical setting with this song blaring in the background. This is great "good morning" song. I actually listen to this in the morning during the trip to work a bunch.

#78
Perfect Dark - Alien Conflict

Deep darkness and stealthy undercover work. That's what this one says to me. It's so damn smooth and relaxing.


#77
Sonic Spinball - Toxic Caves

I was/am a huge Sonic fan. The music really cements a lot of these games to my heart. So while Sonic Spinball wasn't really that good, I had a blast with it as a kid. This was back when even the not-so-good Sonics had monster jams. As a pinball game, it was an interesting twist.

#76
Outrun - Magical Sound Shower

Sometimes, when I'm going down the interstate, I put this song on and just fucking go fast. This is a song where you have nothing to do but drive. And it feels good as hell. I hum it to this day.

#75
StarTropics - Test of Island Courage

Mike Jones is on the case and beating up everything in his way with a yo-yo. This song, which I consider the main theme of the series, evokes an adventure-y vibe. Love it.

#74
Star Fox 64 - Zoness

Flying high above the polluted wasteland of Zoness on a mission, having this song really highlights the theme of level.

#73
Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! - Bout Theme

While I'm well aware of the negroes stealing bikes, this is the one that drives your gameplay. The beat gets you hyped and into whooping somebody's ass. I would also like to mention Mac's knockdown song, which is awesome.

#72
Metroid - Kraid's Lair

Metroid games have always been about feeling lonely on this gigantic planet of creatures trying to kill you before you can kill them. The theme of Kraid's lair manages to get this feeling across more than many of the songs in the entire series.

#71
Mario Paint - BGM 1

The infinite possibilities of the imagination came alive in Mario Paint. The song that loads up with the software makes you feel energized to create something magnificent with it. Many animations and pictures have been made under this song. What a great song. Special props to BGM 2, though.
