Topic: The Nintendo Life Best VGM Tournament (Round Two, Fight!)

1. Mario Kart 64 - Toad's Turnpike
2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Fluffy Buff Galaxy

1) Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Cornered
2) Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Fluffy Buff Galaxy

C'mon people, we need some more voters! It is kind of funny how this competition is being decided by the same 5 people though.

1. Mario Kart 64 - Toad's Turnpike

2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Fluffy Buff Galaxy
This may very well be THE best piece of music to ever come out of a game in my honest to goodness opinion. I practically bought the game because of the music in the trailer.

@CapnPancakez, I personally find the music in the original Super Mario Galaxy to be much better. For example, Gusty Garden Galaxy is amazing. How its not in this tournament is beyond me.

1. Phoenix Wright: Ace attorney - Investigation ~ cornered, this excellent VGM is far better than Toad's turnpike which is okay.
2. Super Mario galaxy 2 - Fluffy buff galaxy

@Emaan
I would agree that the first Galaxy has a better soundtrack as a whole even though SMG2 had the amazing theme for the drill world. In case you didn't know, the Gusty Garden Galaxy and Fluffy Buff Galaxy theme is the same, albeit the Fluffy Buff version is orchestrated.

@CapnPancakez. ?

I don't think they're the same. Both songs are orchestrated. Both songs hit completely different notes.

Yeah, they hit different notes! Indeed!

^{It's really hard not to be a classical music snob in threads like this gaaaah}

Have you seen my thread

Edit: Never mind

Gosh is my memory that bad? Well, shows how much of a musical ear I have

No worries @CapnPancakez, its no big deal.
I just pay almost too much attention to video game music.

Toad's Turnpike
Kimi ga Iru Kara

@zezhyrule
I could get off on a rant about using "My Hands" instead of Kimi ga Iru Kara. IMO, Kara was so vastly superior and served to match the emotion of the ending better. Another reason for me to dislike My Hands: I suspect that you couldn't buy the whole FF XIII album on iTunes solely because Kara was not the ending song in North America, thus it was excluded from availability. The outcome was that, being that this was the Japanese FF XIII soundtrack being offered, it was considered a partial album. Meaning that, at .99 a song, you had to pay an obscene amount of money to get every song on the album. And you STILL didn't have the ability to get the best ending song, Kara!

I agree with everything you wrote. Whoever made that decision sucks.

At least Blinded by Light made it onto the list as I rather enjoy that song.

Phoenix Wright beats Toad's Turnpike 5-3
Fluffy Buff Galaxy beats Kimi ga Iru Kama 6-2

^{all you nintendo fanboys who've never played a MGS game, at least listen to it before choosing ToS >.>}

1. Mega man zero 2 - Air fleet stage
2. Tales of Symphonia - Final destination, The MGS2 theme is an awesome theme but it can't stand up the astounding might of the best VGM ever!

1. Mega Man Zero 2 - Air Fleet Stage
2. Tales of Symphonia - Final Destination

@zez, I listened to both. I haven't played either of them, yet I just think ToS has the better music.

Ooooh, tough choice. ...
REALLY TOUGH CHOICES! D: ...
