I’ve voted for Mega Man 3 so many times, but I have to go for Mario.
I dislike Burning Rangers deeply. I think I voted for it earlier but I can’t remember why. 🤔 Anyway, despite me hating Necrodancer, I voted for it.
Now the third one is cruel. Despite nominating Lifelight in the first place, I had to once again go against it for my new favourite, Deadly Premonition.
I haven’t voted for either of these, as I don’t exceptionally like either of them, but I went for OoT for today. 😉
P.S. If anybody else votes for Mario, I’ll be super happy! Please!
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
Devil's advocate with the rules here. first levels can count for title screens. The nonimated Splattack can come to mind. It's sounds like an epic party is about to throwdown, It can work as a intro cinematic. I say this because Smb doesn't scream title screen or intro. The song sounds like you're in the start/middle of a video game level. (Okay we're ready to start the game, Okay now you're in the game.) Take ba listen you'll notice. For that reason, MM3 takes the vote
Was Mariobro4. No, I'm not taking off my backpack...it's important.
The results are in and we have Mega Man 3 claiming victory at 6-1, Crypt of the Necrodancer at 5-1, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at 5-1, and Ocarina of Time at 3-2. We’re officially in the semifinals now!
Mega Man 3 blew by Crypt of the Necrodancer 5-0 on its way to the final while Ocarina of Time narrowly edged out Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 3-2 to claim the other spot.
And we’re here! Only two songs left, who will come out on top? I’d like to thank everyone for participating and I hope you enjoyed it. If you’re interested in doing another tournament feel free to leave a suggestion for the next theme.
You’re also welcome to share any songs that surprised you or became new favorites. Deadly Premonition, Octopath Traveller, and Alien 3 were all great songs that I hadn’t heard before.
Uh... @ThePirateCaptain, normally on ties you flip a coin. I’ve been organizing a similar tournament for indie games and the finals just ended with a tie. Do you have special rules on this?
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
So funny thing, like a month or so ago, a person I follow on Twitter was following some sort of "post a favorite video game song a day" challenge...thing. And the first one was to name your favorite title screen music, and he went with Megaman 3. I replied that that was good, but as a counterpoint, I posted the OOT title theme.
@BabyYoshi12
You could count up the total votes each one has gotten over the entire contest I guess? Tiebreakers are hard for stuff like this but since it’s really just for fun I don’t put a lot of weight into the “winner” if you get what I mean.

Neither of these are among my absolute favourites from this tournament but they're both very good songs. I went with Ocarina but I'd be happy for either to win. I agree about Alien 3 and Deadly Premonition, I hadn't heard those before either and they're both great.
So I listened... as much as I’m mad at MM3 for taking SMB out, but OoT took Ultimate out and Ultimate took Deadly Premonition, which might actually be better than SMB... I went for MM3 as it’s an incredible theme.
Also, what will the next tournament be?
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
Can’t believe Mega Man 3 might actually lose. I mean, I like OoT a lot. It’s another iconic tune, and a far better game than Mega Man 3 - but Capcom absolutely nailed it sonically with MM3. Still, subjective opinions, blah blah.
With a final score of 5-3 the winner of the tournament is..... The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
Thanks again to everyone who took part, I hope you enjoyed it. If people are interested in doing another one, feel free to leave ideas what theme you think we should do next. With the Origami King right around the corner we could do Paper Mario music, but that’s just one idea I had, others are welcome.
It’s a FIX! Appeal the result! Send it to the Supreme Court! Fake news! Foreign agents interfered with the voting! Cambridge Analytica did it!
But congratulations to OoT - it’s the better game, so I can understand why people’s emotions might have pushed them that way. And it’s a good tune.
I’m going to go listen to some more Mega Man 3!
I suggest RPG battle music for another round. Should be some great competitors. I nominate Fight On in Final Fantasy VII. And Calling from The World Ends With You.
If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all. I’ll follow this advice and not comment on the winning song.
As for next theme, yes I’d love to do one! I’d be good for Paper Mario, but I can’t nominate as I’ve never played any other than Super like 5 years ago. I think Animal Crossing or Mario music could be interesting.
Heigh Ho Heigh Ho. It’s off to work (from home) I go.
I'm happy for OOT. After all, Nintendo fans on the internet have not given enough credit to Ocarina of Time. About time it got recognition!
But seriously, I vote for a common level/area/biome like desert or ice or forest for the next one. Though if we do desert, I recommend we disqualify OOT to prevent the same game from winning twice in a row. :V
I made some suggestions for future categories a few pages ago, but anything would be fine. If we do go for RPG music I also would have nominated Calling from TWEWY lol
