Music I adore #327 Celestial Valley (Kirbys Air Ride)Nijipoop2026-09-21 | Music I adore #327 Celestial Valley (Kirbys Air Ride)Music I adore #659 Marco de Pollo (Escape from Monkey Island)Nijipoop2018-08-04 | Some nice latin inspired music from Escape from Monkey Island, catchy and easy to listen to.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #658 Title Theme (Treasure Master)Nijipoop2018-08-04 | Treasure Master a game released for the NES that was all about getting all the treasures to win grand prizes from MTV. An unusual thing that they decided to do but I guess it took many people by storm and competed in getting these fabulous prizes. Though the game is pretty average, the title theme is really getting you hooked up.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #657 Lys Palace (Rayman M/Arena)Nijipoop2018-08-04 | Mysterious kind of new age music from Rayman M, I like the dark tone of this theme.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #656 Stage Select (NES Remix)Nijipoop2018-07-21 | An upbeat and catchy tune from the NES Remix games, it's easy for this one to get stuck in your head.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #655 Champion Revalis Song (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)Nijipoop2018-07-21 | One of my absolute favourites from Breath of the Wild.
Though Revali himself is kind of an upnosed egoist, his theme (wierdly enough though) fits the character very well. It gives you the feeling that he was looked up upon as a grand champion and a skilled warrior who was very much aware of this which made it into his livelihood and set the tone for his personality. Though in the end he actually had a soft heart and I believe that he did in fact like Link much beacuse of his loyalty to his friends, though Revali never showed it in life.
The theme starts with a soft accordion melody which is accompanied by an acoustic guitar, it continues into a more orchestrated version, then the melody fades into a silent melancholic piano score right before it grows large and grand with more added instruments and then finally the melody sinks back into the accordion/guitar again and ends on a soft note.
I have also added the mussette versions which Kass plays in The Champions' Ballad, It's a wonderful theme to play on accordion.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Reunion: Revali 01:18 Kass: 'Champion Revali's Song' (Short) 01:47 Kass: 'Champion Revali's Song' (Full)Music I adore #654 Wizard Peak (Spyro the Dragon)Nijipoop2018-07-21 | Here's a jazzy synth tune from the original Spyro the Dragon. This piece alone sets the tone of how many games released around this time sounded. It's such a nostalgic and lovable style.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #653 Aquarius/Sunken City Stage (Castlevania III: Draculas Curse)Nijipoop2018-07-07 | Like most music from the early Castlevania games, Aquarius is an upbeat and energetic theme that becomes very addicting even after hearing it several times as you play the level over and over again before you eventually advance to the next level.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #652 Rundas Battle (Metroid Prime 3: Corruption)Nijipoop2018-07-07 | Hardcore and heavy music from Metroid Prime 3. Rundas is one of the many bosses in the game and while he's theme goes in a pretty standard metroid fashion there's a lot of unique aspects to it that makes it stand out from the rest.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #651 Kitchen Bossa (1000 Cooking Recipes From Elle à Table)Nijipoop2018-07-07 | A catchy tune from a pretty unknown game, in fact it's so unkown that it doesn't even have it's own wikipedia page. But nonetheless the main theme of the game is a soothing bossa nova that's hard to get out of your head once you've heard it.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #650 Fossil Falls/Main Theme (Super Mario Odyssey)Nijipoop2018-06-23 | The Main Theme of Super Mario Odyssey which is used in Fossil Falls, the first level in the game after the tutorial. This is such a great theme that fits with the adventurous and magical feeling of the entire game. When I heard this theme after entering the level I was so glad because I had already heard a prototype of it in the first trailer for the game and fallen in love with it, hearing it in full orchestration with acoustic guitar in the background and a staggering accordion solo in the middle was just what i had imagined. While Jump Up, Super Star! will be the most recognizable and popular theme of this game, Fossil Falls is the most epic and powerful theme that made me addicted to this game an its soundtrack in the first place. The Credits/Staff Roll version is also included here, which is a more true orchestration of the trailer theme.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Fossil Falls 04:08 Staff Roll/CreditsMusic I adore #649 Peaceful Days (Chrono Trigger)Nijipoop2018-06-23 | Pherhaps one of the most beautiful village themes, Peaceful Days is a classic theme from Chrono Trigger that deserves a spot in anyones list of vgm. I've included an arrangement with lyrics made by Josiah McDaniel, he's a very talented guy who arranges and creates lyrics to iconic video game themes, this theme in particular comes from one of his albums called VGM Opus 1.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Version 02:48 Vocal arrangement from: VGM Opus 1Music I adore #648 Accordion Song (Sonic The Hedgehog)Nijipoop2018-06-23 | This is a beautiful little theme from Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) that the developers snuck into the game, which is possible to hear if you encounter a man who's playing accordion on the streets of Soleanna, kind of like Kass in Breath of The Wild except this guy doesn't do anything more than just playing. Like usual it's Yoshiaki Sato who is the performer of this nice little piece which is actually not that hard to learn to play for yourself.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #647 Feequency 140.85 (Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake)Nijipoop2018-06-09 | Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake has a great soundtrack, one of the best chiptune soundtracks out there really. I really enjoy the reverb which they've put into it too.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #646 UpDown Town (SimCity 3000)Nijipoop2018-06-09 | Music from the incredibly jazzy soundtrack of SimCity 3000. I can so easily picture a band playing this theme in a late night bar, just a great theme.Music I adore #645 Final Destination Collection (Super Smash Bros. Series)Nijipoop2018-06-09 | A collection of all the themes for the Final Destination stages in the Super Smash Bros. Series. They have always put a lot of effort in composing and arranging these themes ever since the first one on the good old N64. If I would pick a favourite amongst all these great themes I would actually go with the original N64 theme, there's just something incredibly catchy and captivating about it. I've also included an arrangement from the fan arranged album Harmony of Heroes which combines most of the themes from the various games.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Theme: Super Smash Bros. (1999) 02:28 Super Smash Bros. Melee (2001) 05:33 Super Smash Bros.

Just the fact that a whole loop of the theme is almost six minutes long which is quite abnormal for a video game theme.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #643 Threshold (Journey)Nijipoop2018-05-26 | Music from the enchanted and magical game Journey. I love the calm and ongoing rythm in this piece, the instruments are truly alive as you can hear the strum on the strings and fueling of the flutes. It really reminds me of the music from games such as Shadow of the Colossus and the games in the Fable Series.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #642 Cloudy Mountain Peaks (Kirbys Dream Course)Nijipoop2018-05-26 | Fun and catchy music from Kirby's Dream Course, a game which I first encountered through and through along with the Game Grumps playthrough.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #641 Once Upon A Time... (Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts)Nijipoop2018-05-12 | Here's a theme from Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts that might not be recognized as a typical Banjo-Kazooie theme. Its dark, eerie and would might be more suitable for a film like Harry Potter, but it actually fits very well into this universe anyway. I really like the tone that Kirkhope went with here, too bad that the game is so unlikable.Music I adore #640 Inkwell Isle One (Cuphead)Nijipoop2018-05-12 | Music from the recently released game Cuphead. I like that they went with a full big band orchestra for this soundtrack cause that's exactly what it needs and that they also went with the same theme as the graphics and art style of the game, namely 1930s cartoons or just the 30s style in general. The solo piano version is also included here.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Big Band Version 03:14 Piano VersionMusic I adore #639 Threed, Free at Last (EarthBound)Nijipoop2018-05-12 | This is a really catchy tune from EarthBound, i really like it for its simplicity. I included the arrangement from Mother 1+2 Original Soundtrack aswell.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Version 03:06 Arrangement from Mother 1+2 Original SoundtrackMusic I adore #638 Japan Mode (Baseball)Nijipoop2018-04-28 | Music from a time when it was perfectly fine to simply name a game Baseball, Golf or Tennis. There were no other games like this so who could argue against it to name them like that. If you would name a game like that today though it would just get muddled up with all the 100 of baseball games released every year. I've included the jazzy arrangement from Game Music Graffiti, which also is the real star of this video.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Japan Mode (BGM #1) 00:48 Japan Mode (BGM #2) 01:21 Arrangement from: Game Boy/Game Music GraffitiMusic I adore #637 Reunion [Sauria] (Star Fox: Assault)Nijipoop2018-04-28 | Orchestrated goodness from the GameCube game Star Fox: Assault. I love that they decided to use a real orchestra to record the music for this game as it fits so well with the Star Fox series. I guess it's because of John Williams Star Wars soundtracks that a full orchestra fits well with epic space fantasies.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #636 Catalinas Theme (Uncharted Waters: New Horizons)Nijipoop2018-04-28 | Here's an interesting theme from Uncharted Waters: New Horizons. Catalina's Theme is the theme for one of the games main characters who is given a jazzy piano theme that is a bit inspired by traditional spanish music. The arrangement is of course the real star, I fell in love with it as soon as i heard it. The arrangement albums for the Uncharted Waters games are just fantastic and very enjoyable, Yoko Kanno is a very skilled composer aswell as arranger.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Super Nintendo Version 01:26 Arrangement from: Uncharted Waters: New Horizons Special EditionMusic I adore #635 Sparkman Stage (Mega Man 3)Nijipoop2018-04-14 | If I could have a nickel for every awsome stage theme in the Mega Man series then I would be a very rich man. The remix from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is also included here.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Version 01:09 Remix from: Super Smash Bros. for Wii UMusic I adore #634 Chatting (Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King)Nijipoop2018-04-14 | The video says #633, but thats a typo so just ignore it.
Quick, upbeat and lively music from Dragon Quest VIII. I have included both the original theme used in japan and the symphonic version which were used in the international releases.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Version (Japan Only) 02:44 Arrangement from: Symphonic Suite Dragon Quest VIII (Used in the international releases)Music I adore #633 Riding the Shell (Rayman 2: The Great Escape)Nijipoop2018-04-14 | A short yet very catchy theme. I took the liberty to extend it a little bit.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #632 Enchanted Riverbank (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kongs Double Trouble!)Nijipoop2018-03-31 | Like most of the music from Donkey Kong Country 3, Enchanted Riverbank is a bit more dark and toned down than what you would hear in the previous games of the series. Eveline Fischer who composed the majority of the soundtrack gives us an alternate take on what music from a Donkey Kong game can sound like. I've always liked this soundtrack a lot and the game itself. It's foreign but you can relate to many of its aspects and themes.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #631 Fall - The Smell of Mushroom (Stardew Valley)Nijipoop2018-03-31 | Though spring is arriving to the world once more and were getting into one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, today we take a look back at one of my favourite seasons. Fall or Autumn is actually one of my favourite periods of the year. As nature eventually comes to a stop, plants and trees stop growing and eventually becomes colored in various shades of red, yellow, orange and brown. The atmosphere quiets down as the wild and frolicking noises of summer becomes a silent murmur of leaves blowing in the wind. It becomes colder and darker which makes it a perfect time to sit indoors in front of a warming fire while you drink a hot beverage of your choice. The Smell of Mushroom from Stardew Valley depicts the atmosphere of this season very well as it captures its quiet and calm feel.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #630 Lanayru Desert Collection (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)Nijipoop2018-03-31 | Lanayru Desert is one of my absolute favourite areas in the zelda series and my one favourite in Skyward Sword itself. I just love the atmosphere and that the place has an ancient history that gives it much more of a personality than any other desert. The province of Lanayru used to be a frolicking green country but due to time and rapid climate changes it eventually became a vast and empty desert, as no humans were there to take care of it nor the robots that inhabited the land either. Link is however aloud to get a glimpse into the past thanks to the so called Timeshift Stones scattered across the land, as if you activate them they turn a limited portion of the area into its former self, thus making it possible to use the presently depleted technology, communicate with the otherwise malfunctioning robots and to get rare items only visible in this state.
The Desert is one of the biggest places in the game and eventually Link reaches the Lanayru Sand Sea located at the corner of the desert. With abandoned harbors, shipyards and even a pirate stronghold this place is eeringly majestic. Here it's also possible to take a glimpse into the past and even ride on a boat into the sand sea itself. The mechanics of these areas are just so incredibly enjoyable and clever as you have to activate and deactivate the stones to solve the puzzles in order to get to your goal.
The music that they composed for this desert is also incredibly enjoyable and makes to the atmosphere of it so much more. It's melancholic, peaceful and harmonizing. It depicts the feel of the represented areas so well and makes you emotionally invested in the stories that they have to tell. A land which once was a highly advanced society that now only has an empty shell left, deserted and now living in the shadow of it's former self.
Hope you enjoy!

Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #628 Statue Park (GoldenEye 007)Nijipoop2018-03-10 | I love how the soundtrack in this game matches the scenes and music to the movie. Grant Kirkhope stated himself that he tried to replicate the soundtrack of the movie as truly as possible, he apparently listened to the music very often and closely to get the atmosphere and felling of Eric Serra's compositions.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #627 A Place to Call Home (Final Fantasy IX)Nijipoop2018-03-10 | A short yet very beautiful and thoughtful melody, Somewhat melancholic too. It really reminds me of a swedish folksong called Ack Värmeland, du sköna (Oh Värmland, Thou Lovely).
I've included a piano arrangement by Nospoonkid aswell.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Version 02:08 Arrangement from: Turning Japanese Vol. 1Music I adore #626 Shy But Deadly (Yoshis Woolly World)Nijipoop2018-02-17 | Like the rest of the soundtrack, Shy But Deadly from Yoshi's Woolly World is just an awsome and enjoyable theme all through and through. Tomoya Tomita is such a great composer and he made a fantastic duo together with Misaki Asada for this game.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #625 Progression/Stage 3 BGM (Final Soldier)Nijipoop2018-02-17 | Here's a theme from the japan exclusive title Final Soldier, released originally on the NEC PC-Engine in 1991. it was later released to the rest of the world on the Wii virtual console in 2008. A classic scrolling shooter with the standard upbeat and captivating soundtrack like many other games of the same sort had around this time.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #624 Buy Theme 4 (The Sims)Nijipoop2018-02-17 | This is such a delightful little theme from the original The Sims. I remember this theme very fondly from the days when I played this game a lot.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #623 Adventure (Fez)Nijipoop2018-01-27 | A new year comes with new additions to this list, among these is the theme "Adventure" from the 2012 indie game Fez. This theme are one of those video game themes that proves that you don't always need a very complicated melody to make a memorable and enjoyable theme.
it plays somewhat the same notes and patterns throughout the whole tune but with variating compilations of those notes and patterns, as well as constantly building up to a stronger melody until it eventually fades out. It also got an orchestration on The Greatest Video Game Music 2 which I've also included here.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Version 03:19 Orchestration from: The Greatest Video Game Music 2Music I adore #622 Praying Hands (Castlevania II: Belmonts Revenge)Nijipoop2018-01-27 | Castlevania music in a nutshell here because even though this title was released for the original Game Boy, Hidehiro Funauchi (the game's composer) manage to make its soundtrack sound awsome just like its fellow companions on the more advanced systems the NES and Super Nintendo. This theme got an arrangement on the album Perfect Selection Dracula ~New Classic~ which I've included here.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Original Version 03:11 Arrangement from: Perfect Selection Dracula ~New Classic~Music I adore #621 Kens Theme Collection (Street Fighter II: The World Warrior)Nijipoop2018-01-27 | A collection of variations and arrangements of Ken's Theme from the highly praised Street Fighter II: The World Warrior.
A theme that fits well for fighting with a kind of 80s style fighting movie vibe to it. Though I've never caught on to this series there are alot of great themes for the characters that you can play as. Ken's Theme is a true classic among video game themes and this list would simply not be complete without it.
Hope you enjoy!

What a year 2017 has been, many new experiences and adventures. Another great part of this year are all the great games that were released, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Cuphead and many more! And this year was also the 25th Anniversary of Kirby! And what better way to end this year than to enjoy the Staff Roll music from Milky Way Wishes in Kirby Super Star. Included here are also and arrangement from the OverClocked ReMix "Milky Way Wishes: A Kirby Super Star Tribute" and the orchestrated version played at the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert held on July 21 at the Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Tokyo.
Happy New Year and hope you enjoy!

I hope that you all will have a happy holiday and please enjoy this heartwarming and wintry theme from Sonic Unleashed. This is one of my absolute favourite video game themes when it comes to getting into the holiday spirit.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 Daytime 02:59 NighttimeMusic I adore #618 Christmas Special 3 (2017) Snowpeak (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)Nijipoop2017-12-17 | While snow and ice during christmas is a wonderful thing, wintertime is also a very dark and cold season. In the northern parts of sweden there are only a few hours of light during the day and then it becomes pitch dark again like it was night. This can be a though enviorment to live in if your'e not used to it.
Snowpeak from Twilight Princess depicts the dark and empty side of winter with a mountain peak covered in snow and almost no wildlife or vegetation except for a few pine trees and wolves howling in the distance. I really like this desolate and melancholic feel of this theme with a faint female choir in the background and a few notes of the Hyrule Field theme embedded into the melody. one of my absolute favourite winter themes.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #617 Christmas Special 2 (2017) Frosty Wheel (Kirbys Epic Yarn)Nijipoop2017-12-10 | A very calm and soothing melody from Kirby's Epic Yarn. It reminds me of some old tv show that aired around christmas during my childhood, can't put my finger on it which show it was though.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #616 Christmas Special 1 (2017) Seashore War (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)Nijipoop2017-12-03 | And the christmas season can officially begin!
Mabye a not so christmassy theme but it is a level all covered in ice and snow so it can be christmas related anyway. What more to say than another great composition from David Wise. I like the melancholic touch of this theme and the accoustic guitar is such a good choice for a theme like this.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #615 Majoras Mask Battle Collection (The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask)Nijipoop2017-10-31 | Last but not least we have a collection of the battle themes with Majora's Mask.
While The Groke creeps me out the most, another nightmare fuel from my childhood is the battle with Majora's Mask and its incarnations. The game as a whole has a very dark tone to it but the final battle sure takes the cake.
After confronting the Skull Kid atop of the Clock Tower he screams out a magic spell and rushes The Moon towards the surface. To stop him Link must summon The Four Giants to hold the moon in place. after doing so the Mask releases itself from the Skull Kid and flies away inside the moon. Hurrying after Link is then teleported to a garden with a lonely tree in the middle where four children carrying the masks of the previous defeated bosses runs around. Talking to them activates a challenge each which eventually leads to Link being rewarded with the Fierce Deity Mask, the most powerful mask in the game. Once all four challanges are completed Link can now proceed to the fifth child sitting lonely beside the tree with Majora's Mask on his face. He too has a challange for you... You are taken to a room with variating colors on the walls, the Last Day theme plays in the background and as you step into the middle the four boss masks soars away from you and are placed on four of the rooms walls. After this the Mask in the middle, Majora's Mask awakens and an epic battle begins. After defeating the mask and its magical spells it suddenly takes a new form, a creature with thin legs and arms and an eye above the mask which is now centered on the body. The incarnation then starts running across the room and acting very wierd like dancing and moonwalking. Once defeated the mask takes yet another form, Its final form or its wrath if you so prefer. With pulsating muscles and a mad temperament the greatest and most toughest foe Link may have ever encountered stands before him, but with the help of the Fierce Deity Mask he eventually defeats the creature. And so comes the end of Majora's Mask and the destruction of The Moon.
An epic battle indeed but it sure left alot of shivers down my spine. The themes for the battle are divided into four: To The Moon, Majora's Mask Battle, Majora's Incarnate Battle and Majora's Wrath Battle. All of these are unique and special in their own way but they all have a common thread which is the use of instruments, percussions and the theme of the mask being present in all four themes. My favourite of the bunch is perhaps the battle with the mask itself, a very dark and kind of melancholic melody with tones of those percussions used in "Majora's Theme". I've also included the arrangement "Those Who Fight" from the album The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Orchestrations.
Hope you enjoy!
00:00 To The Moon 00:57 Majora's Mask Battle 04:35 Majora's Incarnate Battle 07:43 Majora's Wrath Battle 10:01 Those Who Fight (from: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Orchestrations)Music I adore #614 Horror Land (Mario Party 2)Nijipoop2017-10-31 | Let's continue with a more lighthearted theme from one of many favourite games, Mario Party 2. Horror Land is one of the many boards of the game and whats unique about this one is that it changes from day and nighttime. On the day it looks like a regular village with some minor spooky aspects while on the night is changes to a monsterland with ghosts creeping around, creepy lightning effects and some roads and events are only active around nighttime. The theme fits well with the board and is very memorable, it sure is one of the may greats of this series.
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #613 Mårran/The Groke (Moomin)Nijipoop2017-10-31 | Happy Halloween! This year I've got 3 theme that differs quite alot from each other.
The Groke or Mårran as she's called in swedish is one of the most terrifying and creepy characters I've ever encountered in any cartoon and in general actually. If you're not familiar with the character, The Groke is a ghostlike being that appears in various of Tove Janssons stories about the Moomins. Other than having a very unpleasant appearance she is also very cold, so cold that the mere touch of her body freezes you whole. To top it all of her only means of communication is a sharp growling noise that echoes beyond the horizon. She appears in a selection of the episodes of the 1990s series but the ones she's most known for are the ones based of the book "Finn Family Moomintroll" or "Trollkarlens Hatt" in swedish.
This spooky creature scared the life out of me when I was a kid and still to this day gives me shivers whenever I see a picture of her or watch any of the episodes where she appears. Though she is actually not an evil being but rather very lonely and does not know how to properly communicate the right way to make friends, rather sad if you think about it...
So why uploading a theme for a character that creeps me out you may ask. First of all the composition fits very well with the feeling of when the other characters of the series encounters with The Groke aswell as being used for many other unexplainable and eerie scenes. You could also say that it fascinates me and reminds me of how much a piece of music makes to the rest of the effects in a scene. It's simply inspiring.
The arrangement of this theme was made by forestdude93 who makes great arrangements for many Moomin themes. Here's a link to his channel youtube.com/user/forestdude93
Hope you enjoy!Music I adore #612 Star Light Zone (Sonic the Hedgehog)Nijipoop2017-10-14 | Star Light Zone, a theme that reaches for the stars. It's hard not to tap your feet to this catchy Mega Drive tune.

Koichi Sugiyama, the master of village and town themes. He always does a great job on making these kind of themes sound cozy and full with warmth.
I've included the Super Nintendo version for the original game, the version from Dragon Quest III and the orchestrated version performed by London Philharmonic Orchestra.
Hope you enjoy!

No matter which game you play in this series there has always been a hype when it comes to Super Smash Bros. I included both the Battlefield version and the menu theme.
