http://screwattack.com/Top10/Themes


I'm actually amazed, this is a really good list! The #1 and #2 are exactly what I would have chosen for those exact spots!


My one complaint..... no Castlevania music? Are you fucking serious?! Lose the Duke Nuke 'em theme, or maybe Super Metroid or Donkey Kong Country, replace it with either Vampire Killer or Beginning, and this list is essentially flawless (as flawless as one of these lists can get anyways)

Great list. The Donkey Kong song was awesome. I'm proud to say that I got 97% in that game WITHOUT a hint book or internet. I don't agree with #3 beating out Mario or Metroid, but eh... Great list nonetheless.

  1. Legend of Zelda - Overworld
  2. Mega Man - Dr. Wily's Stage
  3. Duke Nukem - Grabbag (Theme)
  4. Super Metroid - Theme
  5. Super Mario Brothers - Level 1-1
  6. DuckTales - Moon Theme
  7. Secret of Mana - Title Music
  8. Final Fantasy - Theme
  9. Donkey Kong - Gang Plank Galley
  10. Sonic the Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone


In the future, if you post a list, please post the results. It would have been nice to just see that The Legend of Zelda won so that I didn't have to watch the rest.

P.S. Duke Nukem? Please... Unreal Tournament had better music, and the Duke's tunes weren't very "themey".

Yea I don't think Duke Nuke'em should have made the top 10, let alone top 3.

I kind of wanted to see Razor's music from Maniac Mansion, and the Double Dragon theme song.

Dr. Wily's stage in Mega Man II? That was shit compared to Flash man and Toad man.

Good calls with 1,2,5m 8, and 10.

Green Hill Zone is obsolete compared to Emerald Hill and Angel Island. Although, I'm glad Gangplank Galleon(Correct spelling) made the list, it's easily one of my favorites of all time off the 16-bit era.

That was one of the better lists I've seen.

In place of Duke Nukem, to fill their FPS, I think Unreal Tournament "Facing Worlds" should have been there.

Nice 80s throwback to The Karate Kid in the credits.

I kind of liked Dave's music more, but I totally agree.

No, elec man's theme

I have to say, i approved of the Nintendo themes past 6. But ducktales moon should have been higher up. This list was lukewarm for me, it had approves and WTF. And i'm really pissed their is nothing technically from a N64 game (i'm not counting Zelda because it's a remix)

The Ducktales soundstrack is incredible. I suppose I would agree that The Moon is the best track on their, though i love the Amazon.

Enh, Elec Man's is alright, but it's not the best in the series.

Yah, there are so many good tunes from the first 3, it's hard to declare which one is best. For me, it is elec man's theme.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Wily 1-2 from Mega Man 2. It's a rocking track that really shows what the NES can do.
