5 awesome songs from old video games

1. Paula's Theme from EarthBound- If you have ever played EarthbBound then I officially love you! Yes, this cult classic hasn't been played by many seeing as it was only released in Japan and America when it first came out in the mid nineties. However, the quirky RPG game has recently been released as a download for the Wii U in Europe, so therefore there's no excuse not to play it. Anyway, this delightful ditty is first played in the game when you are introduced to the game's main heroine Paula. The song is simple yet it isn't an earworm that you'd wanna mess with. Try and fight off the two main melodies, I dare you! Melody one is an eerie UFO/Sci Fi type tune that fills you with unease. Melody two is far more heroic and upbeat. Just listen to those trumpet type sounds whilst you slowly rise up and puff your chest out like the god that you are.  

2. City Escape Theme from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle- Oh my golly gosh god, what an absolute tune! Anyone who has ever played the opening level from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle will know all the words to this song. How can you forget those first lines "Rolling around at the speed of sound." Classic. Furthermore the fast Pop Punk type sound really matches the intensity of trying to complete the level as quickly as you can. I honestly couldn't think of a better song to soundtrack snowboarding on a concrete road.

3. Overworld Theme Music from Super Mario World- Pretty much everyone recognises this melody whether they've actually played the game or not. It's absolutely iconic and it surely deserves to go down as one of the finest musical pieces in video gaming history. Also you've gotta love the subtle changes that are added in occasionally. For example when you open a Yoshi egg, the song has a funky bongo track added in to it. Oh yeah and you can't deny that it's ridiculously happy too. Play this on a bad day and you'll definitely feel a lot better.

4. Astral Observatory Theme from Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask- Majora's Mask is without a doubt the creepiest addition in the Legend of Zelda franchise. It deals with themes such as death and your main objective is to try and stop the moon from plummeting in to the earth. When you enter the Astral Observtory for the first time after getting the code from Bomber kids, you are are greeted with this magical song. It twinkles so stylishly and those chord stabs from the piano just make you swoon like a girl who's just seen Ryan Gosling. Best. Observatory. Theme. Ever. 

5. Cycling Theme from Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow- So you've just managed to move that fatass Snorlax from blocking you path. Congratulations, here's your reward and oh boy, this reward is certainly worth the reward. Whip out your bike and you'll hear this awesome tune as you whizz down Cycling Road. Beware though, because you'll probably have to face a bunch of stupid bikers with stupid Koffings. However this tune is still amazing as its so care free and jolly. Plus, it pretty much matches up with cycling perfectly.
