Super Mario Bros. Theme – Super Mario Bros.
I think it’s safe to say you already knew this would be on here. The theme music to Super Mario Bros. is not only the most recognizable piece of video game music ever written, it’s also one of the most recognizable pieces of music of any kind from the past several decades. Very few (if any) musical themes can define an entire medium in the way the Super Mario Bros. theme does for video games.
Not only is it iconic, it’s also darned catchy! I bet the very second you read the name the music immediately started playing in your head.

Wow! You REALLY don’t like Shadow very much do you? Haha.

Agree with almost all the themes, but as a MGS fan, I would have chosen the main theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqqq8uqSDnk , so much greatness, on any of it versions is epic. main theme MGS3 version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlnJghwNgtQ .
Just one thing, the Tetris soundtrack isn’t an original soundtrack, actually I think the author is Bach! I remember when my piano teacher taught me a new melody and… it was from Tetris 2! So of course I asked about it, and it isn’t originally from the game. And so with all the other Tetris themes.
Great article, looking forward to the next list!

The way I see it, if Sonic is the face of his franchise, then Shadow is the face of everything that has gone wrong with the franchise. He was a harmless addition in Sonic Adventure 2, but he seems to have stolen the spotlight from most of the classic Sonic characters. Not to mention he always brings in one kind of storyline or another that further changes the series from what it once was.

You’ve got a good point. By the way, don’t you just wish the games went back to the villains being just Eggman (Robotnik) and Metal Sonic instead of some random new major villain seen only once in the entires series??

I have waited for a classic Sonic vs. Robotnik game for what seems like forever. I’ll have my fingers crossed that Project Needlemouse sets things straight.
