Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Temple / Ruins Themes (Nominations Open)

So ruins it is! Here's the ones I came up with so far, should be a decently varied selection. If I remember some more obscure stuff I'll submit some more later.

Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix) - Celeste
Quiet and Falling - Celeste (the track above is a remix of this one, still unique enough to warrant a second submission I'd say)
Sog-Gee's Realm - Snake Pass — This one is admittedly a bit of a stretch. I'd argue the entire game is set in a world of ruins.
Hyrule Temple - Super Smash Bros. Melee
Chomp Ruins - Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Dragonspiral Tower - Pokémon Black/White
Hidden Highland - PMD Explorers
Planet Towara - Kirby Star Allies

Where the Ancestors Sleep - Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive ...

Thwomp Ruins - Mario Kart 8

I’ll try to post a couple songs tomorrow but we still have plenty of spots for anyone else that has some ideas.

Curse you! I wanted to pick that song, it's perfect! You're gonna win now because of the sheer might of this song.

Some more submissions from myself:

I'll also nominate:
Temple II - DKC: Tropical Freeze, because it wouldn't be a true VGM tournament without a plethora of Xenoblade and DKC tunes,
and Reach for the Stars - Submerged, which might be a bit of a stretch but the game is set in a ruined city so I think it counts.

Hehe I'm recycling

Also this one if it counts as it's technically a flooded ruined faron woods

Ah so we are going for a more general ruins theme then. I'll adjust my nominations tomorrow to fit the theme better.

@Eel
You can if you’d like but it looks like the songs you posted fit the theme to me. It’s pretty broad so any kind of ruins or temple qualifies really.

Jungle Jam - Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure
Button Bash - Donkey Kong Country Returns

I completely forgot about this absolute masterpiece, the Somnom Woods are actually ruins.
