The theme for Yakuza style goes so damn hard and brings out the desire to style on enemies. This song is pure aura. Bring it on.

I can't really describe why, but I've always liked this one better than Gourmet Race (which is also great); but this remix takes it to a different level. (1/2)

Day 336: "Sugarland Shimmy" - Cuphead #cuphead
Favorite Video Game Songs #30

I've always really loved this track, seeing as I think it captures the vibe of retro cartoons better than any other in Cuphead; and it also plays during my favorite boss.

As the final month of the year begins, the end of this little countdown project grows near, so as the cold weather sets in, I chose to save this one til now. I get a little emotional every time... (1/2)

Day 334: "Toad's Factory" - Mario Kart Wii (Mario Kart World Ver.) #mariokart
www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRxi...
Toad's Factory was always a favorite when playing MK Wii with my older brother, and this remake brought it back in flawless form. The big band style was a stroke of genius.

Day 333: "Golden Temple" - Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble #supermonkeyball
www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHI...
I love how energetic this is, it's got such beautiful instrumentation that's actually enhanced by this harder dubstep/electronica beat. Perfect for blasting through stages!

Day 332: "Dark Hero" - Astral Chain #astralchain

I don't have anything super introspective to say about this track, I just really like the overall flow and how the lyrics portray the struggle of the protagonist. Both male and female versions are great.

Possibly the best moment in all of TotK, this fight is so cinematic. Incorporating both Molgera's boss theme and the main leitmotif of Dragon Roost Island... (1/2)

Day 330: City of Tears - Hollow Knight #hollowknight #indie
www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJDn...
Hauntingly beautiful, tragically melancholic, and almost contradictory, a song full of life. A song that starts so sad, turning so triumphant, telling the tale of Hallownest without one word.

Day 329: "Color Your Night" - Persona 3 Reload #persona

Just pure vibes. Lotus Juice's smooth rap, an extremely jazzy backing track, it perfectly captures the feeling of exploring the city at night, and the lyrics match the core theme of P3 flawlessly.

Fun fact, I played Kingdom Hearts before I had ever played a Final Fantasy, and I was not aware that Sephiroth was not a story boss. (1/2)

Day 327: "Origin ~ Awaken - Theme of Heroes" - Gain Ground
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAUi...
I've never actually played Gain Ground, but this theme is too good to go unrecognized. It just feels so heroic; anyone would feel like a badass if this was their theme. 1:29 - 2:05 is peak.

Day 326: "Objection! (2001)" - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney #aceattorney
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANcu...
The original Objection theme and I still don't think it's been surpassed. The feeling of figuring out what evidence to submit, followed by this playing, is pure dopamine.

Day 323: "Zinogre" - Monster Hunter World: Iceborne #monsterhunter
www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUTc...
The best track in all of Monster Hunter; it's so intimidating, with biting, intense energy that gets you pumped up. You can just tell this is the theme of a viscous beast. Electrifying!

The fact that it has 12 nominations at the Game Awards is utterly ridiculous. Blatant favoritism.

I don't think it's quite as good as It's Pizza Time from Pizza Tower but it certainly matches the frantic energy and that guitar is going off the rails - a modern classic.
