Game credits. Some love them, most hate them. .....Most games don't make it easy. Some games, however, happen to have rather enjoyable credits sequences. Not only does this actually make it easier for people to actually bother observing who put all the effort to the game they are playing, but it also sedates the urge to restart the console to skip them (although we all know that when you DO do this, you don't magically skip past into the bit after the credits, but rather are forced to repeat whatever you just accomplished after your previous save darn you count bleck and my lack of patience). So what games do YOU believe have some of the best credits sequences of all time? as you can probably tell, I did not enjoy super paper mario's
Super Monkey Ball Jr. has the funnest credits of all time. You play a standard maze while going at ridiculous speeds while the credits shine overhead. I actually keep replaying the credits because they're so fun.
I have countless favorites. I actually enjoy watching the credits: not just to see the names of the people behind the game; but, more importantly (imo), to listen to the music that is playing during that moment (the credits themes from Super Ghouls'n Ghosts, Chrono Trigger, Illusion of Gaia/Time {NA/EU}, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes to mind).
I'm voting for Portal also, that song sticks with you for longer than the game lasts. Flower (on PSN) has a well done credit sequence too. Not thinking of any Nintendo games off hand.

Honorable mention goes to Ocarina of Time. That's just a cherished early adolescent memory for me. Everyone partying, the Gorons and the Zoras. Just living it up, not a care in the world. Tearjerking type stuff right there.
Yeah, you gotta love Jonathan Coulton's Still Alive.
I'd like to mention two games with credits I quite enjoyed:
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales After the rather disappointing final boss (air hockey? REALLY?), you are taken to the credits screen. It looks like a normal credits screen, albeit one with a 'points' counter. As you tap around, trying to guess how to score points, you realize that all the 'O's light up and give you points when they are tapped. Hooray! O Tapping! Fun, if not a little unclear.
WarioWare: DIY Do I need to say more? You get to shoot spaceships with the developers' names on them. Sweet.
@Bobpie Good point! There are actually a few other games that have played around with interactive credit sequences. Though I can't think of any off the top... help?
My mind went into it pre-blown and still came out blow! Only about my 10th time listening it

Don't watch that video if you haven't beat Portal yet but plan to. It's not a spoiler, but it's a great surprise. I have the song in regular rotation on my PSP.
I would have to say the ending credits on Castlevania: SotN on the original Playstation Disc just for the ending song. For a while I had a save file right before the final fight with Dracula just so I can beat him and listen to the song when I wanted to.

Portal, because it's freaking brilliant and if you dislike it than you have no friends and are ugly. Also you suck at cooking. Sonic 3, because the credits theme is awesome. And Madworld because it was just as hilarious as the rest of the game. "So many nerds, so little time."
Oh, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, because it's fun to make naughty words by breaking the blocks
Madworld had pretty sweet credits. Hillarious commentary on the game designers. Actually makes you want to watch the whole thing.

NSMB has some fun interactive credits. Mega Man 9 is really good too. Banjo Kazooie to hear all the cool voices of all the characters and to see Mumbo Jumbo cooking a live fish on the grill.
