I voted for the Nintendo game in all four cases, I'm not biased I swear

"Remember, Funky's the Monkey!"

Funky Kong

  • Brinstar Depths
  • DKC: TF
  • Kirby Air Ride
  • Metroid Prime

Digging that Final Fantasy tune though. If it wasn't up against one of my favorite tracks of the bracket, it would have received my vote!

Good tunes in this round already, I wasn't that optimistic when this theme was suggested. Interested to hear the others.

Thanks, just fixed it. Ironically I’m playing Year of the Dragon right now.

I think I voted for the Crash song because of lowered expectations for it compared to a Smash song. I did not remember the GBA Crash games having music that good.

Tiki torture. Big budget remix means nothing if I don't feel the lava themes.
Dang it, the former choice is a good song but David Wise Brings it.
Molten crater is a good song but this was better.
Once again a good song beaten by a better one.. Magmoor brings the better atmosphere.

Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.

Don’t put up Round 2 yet! I’ll listen later today in an hour or so.

Tiki Torture definitely. It’s better.

I like lots of older songs, so I liked FF better.

I didn’t necessarily love the Kirby song, but it”s better than Spyro.

I didn’t like either, but I was the first to vote for Mega Man.

Victors from the opening round are Crash 2: N-Tranced at 5-3, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze at 6-3, Kirby Air Ride at 6-2, and Metroid Prime at 7-1.

I apologize if updates are a little more inconsistent, I have a lot of work so I might only be able to get new rounds out twice a week.

Wish Kirby wouldve been part of the fourth vote, then this round was easier! But I can't vote against that guitar solo in the third minute of F-Zero. That Fire Field theme was the perfect sound for a race on that crazy track.

Undertale and Wario was also a close call, the others were more clear winners for me.

I voted for Undertale, but it always surprises me (in a good way) when another game references Paper Mario like with "Mt. Lava Lava". I did not remember that was in that game.

Ok, I voted.

Looks like I just tipped the balance on one of the games - the others I picked were either already winning or were losing by too much for my vote to make a difference.

Good category this - I’m enjoying the fire music. Very different approaches, too.

Based on the results so far, my taste in music definitely differs from the crowd. Honestly didnt think this was a strong round, songs from previous rounds grabbed my attention better. Digging the vibe in the Sonic Adventure song from this round!

Woah, StrawPoll got a makeover.

Other than the second one, I voted opposite as @Bankaj

Wait... is the Castle theme from 3D World different in SMM2?

That second pairing is tough. I went for the Mario Maker 2 theme but both are fantastic.

"Remember, Funky's the Monkey!"

Starting to realize Inferno/Lava themes aren't my thing. Not a huge surprise, I usually tend to enjoy such areas the least in games. For some reason I affiliate much more with Ice/Snowy areas or of course your starting Grassy fields.

As for the music, think the castle version of SMM2 was my favorite out of all these. I nominated the Banjo Tooie track, but it is paired with it's absolute counterpart genre-wise. Still get a real Lava/Hot feeling with it, while YS reminds me more of the previous competition - RPG Battle Music.
