Alright... here are six tracks that I feel that completely set the mood for the areas/bosses/stages in their respective games but are overlooked. Well, here they are, and sorry if some of these aren't overlooked.
Saturos Battle Theme- Golden Sun
Heh, this entire game (series) music is ridiculously good but no one seems to talk much about it. Anyway, this song starts off strong, then gets mellow, then picks up again. Uh, I don't know how to describe it just listen to it.
Midnight Carnival- Guilty Gear X2
Every final boss needs a badass theme. This is probably the most badass final boss theme I've ever heard.
Stickerbrush Symphony- Donkey Kong Country 2
Hearing this brings back some of the fondest memories I have ever had playing games. For those who have played the game, there is no denying how perfectly the song fits the Bramble levels. And it's just so damn soothing and pleasant.
Calling- The World Ends With You
It's kind of like your typical J-pop song, nothing particularly super special or anything but it is a good song. The real reason it made the list is because of how effectively it places a sense of imminent danger, need to speed up, and frantic choices that are the main theme of the game. The lyrics 'wake up leave your hesitation, wake up time to show appreciation, wake up time to realize' could not better epitomize what Neku needs to do and how lost he really is.
The Opened Way- Shadow of the Colossus
This song is absolutely epic. It is riveting, demanding, and very powerful. Even without knowing anything about the game just by hearing the music you know there is a monstrous task to perform. And damn, is there ever.
Cornered- Phoenix Wright
There is no song more riveting in any game. You get completely pumped up and know you are on the verge of absolutely destroying the prosecutions case. No song ever in the history of games has been more pivotal to the game (excluding music games) than Cornered. If you have played the game, you know this is true.
Hope you guys enjoyed the list. They aren't really in a particular order or anything (though Cornered is definitely my favorite).

The correct answer is anything from The Neverhood.

@Tondog: Not at all. Maybe for you, but I mean this is my opinion so I don't know how it could be incorrect.

Good choices. Shadow of the Colossus has tons of great music, the one you included is a highlight, as is the prologue song. Also, if you haven't heard it before, there is an orchestral version of that Phoenix Wright song somewhere, as well as other Phoenix Wright songs, which make them even better.

The only video game soundtrack I own is The World Ends with You's. Calling is one of my favs.

That Diddy Kong song is fantastic! I really want to buy and play that game now...

Heh, I'm at work right now and I just realized my comment to TOndog kind of sounds spiteful. It isn't at all lol it was more joking. I appreciate any comments and love hearing other people's opinions.
And I said lol. I hate doing that on the internet.

good call!
Shadow of the Colossus was indeed epic and that song captured how daunting your opponent is in-game.
The other one that always jumped out at me was the music from Donkey Kong Country 2. Easily the most played game for the first 15 years of my life.

A bunch of excellent tunes there most of them are from games i have even played!
| |
Thanks for recommending these tunes! That Guilty Gear Power Metal is pretty badass indeed, and the Diddy Kong music is awesome!
