15 Best Video Game Soundtracks That Will Make You Feel Awesome: Page 14 of 15
2. Super Mario Bros.
Of course Super Mario Bros. was going to be on this list. Nintendo’s flagship series has been giving us wonderful video game music since the 80s!
There’s not a gamer alive who hasn’t heard and enjoyed the original overworld theme. That song is so popular it’s been remixed a thousand times by artists from all over the world. And we can’t blame them. This upbeat, catchy piece was the soundtrack of many a childhood.
And simply put, these songs just make you happy. They make you want to go outside in the sun, and start stomping on goombas and ingesting mushrooms.
But these games are also known for some sinister music. Super Mario World’s castle theme has got to be one of the darkest tunes in the series. It’s got pain, suffering, and a kind of self-loathing you wouldn’t expect from something as cartoony as a Mario game. Heck, Maybe Bowser just needs a Prozac... or a hug!
