Topic: The NintendoLife VGM Tournament: Farewell

Super Mario World wins 13-2
Mega Man 3 wins 8-7
Rhythm Thief wins 9-6

There are so many songs i this tournament it's crazy! I really am enjoying the diversity in all the entries though.
Here is a link to the current bracket

1) Blaster Master - Forest vs. Sonic CD - Palmtree Panic (JP/EU)

2) Super Mario 64 - Bob-omb Battlefield vs. Kirby Mass Attack - Forest

3) Streets of Rage 2 - Go Straight vs. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Grasslands

1. Sonic CD - Palmtree Panic (JP/EU): Blaster Master was a catchy song, but I loved how energetic and fun Palmtree Panic was.
2. Kirby Mass Attack - Forest: Bob-omb Battlefield is a favorite song of mine, but I was surprised how good Forest was. I think that it deserves a chance.
3. Streets of Rage 2 - Go Straight: This song was really good.

1. Sonic CD - Palmtree Panic (JP/EU)
2. Super Mario 64 - Bob-omb Battlefield
3. Streets of Rage 2 - Go Straight

I was too lazy to vote last time (and I had schoolwork anyway), but because of that, Majora's Mask lost! I would have voted for it, but oh well. Mega Man 3's song is good too.

1. Sonic CD - Palmtree Panic (JP/EU)
2. Super Mario 64 - Bob-omb Battlefield
3. Streets of Rage 2 - Go Straight

To be honest, I like all the songs this round, but decisions have to be made.

1.) Sonic CD: Palmtree Panic (JP/EU) - Very nice track. Master Blaster is nice too but not very nice.

2.) Super Mario 64: Bob-omb Battlefield - This one was kind of tricky for me but overall I realized I kept leaning toward SM64 bomb-omb theme. Both tracks are really good and really catchy but I feel SM64's timing with the different notes are timed in such a way for a slightly more charming soundtrack.

3.) Streets of Rage 2: Go Straight - This one was the most difficult decision for me. Both are completely different yet both are completely awesome in their own way. I had to keep listening to both individually about 3 times each before making my final decision to go with SOR2:Go Straight. But only barely...that kirby song is just so ridiculously happy sounding which makes it very hard not to like.

1. Sonic CD - Palmtree Panic
OoohhhHHHHHHHHthis song is so good.

2. Super Mario 64 - Bob-omb Battlefield

3. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Grasslands
I know it seems biased to vote for both of my nominations, but I even still prefer the songs over the others anyways.

2) Kirby Mass Attack: Forest - Now I love the Bob-omb Battlefield theme; it's awesome. However playing Kirby Mass Attack (which to be honest disappointed me) this song just stood out above all, so I (like @Ideal_Hero) think it deserves a chance. It's not got much of a a chance against that legendary theme anyway.

1. Blaster Master - Forest.

2. Kirby Mass Attack - Forest.

3. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Grasslands.

1. Sonic CD
2. Kirby Mass Attack
3. Streets of Rage II

1. Sonic Cd: Both songs where catchy and memorable, but Palmtree Panic just barely gets my vote.
2. Super Mario 64: A song that I will probably never forget, both songs were good, but I vote for Mario 64.
3. Streets of Rage 2: This song is one of my favorites in this tournament, because it just sounds so good, that you could play it in the bar today, and it would still sound so new and fresh to people. Kirby 64 was also good, but this got my vote.

1. Sonic CD - Palmtree Panic
So catchy and full of energy, I just love it!- which is why I nominated this gem~

2. Super Mario 64 - Bob-omb Battlefield
Kirby Mass Attack had such a nice first level theme, so this made the decision a little more difficult- but just a little. Super Mario 64's Bob-omb Battlefield is just so memorable. I'm still humming the tune minutes after listening to it. That is how you start a game.

3. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Grasslands
This was a very difficult decision to make. Streets of Rage 2 was excellent and so was Kirby 64's. When it comes down to it, I'm going with Kirby simply because while its competitor was amazing- it also felt repetitive. I'll be happy with either one winning though.

1) Sonic CD - Palm Tree Panic
Blaster Master had a nice sense of adventure but it can't stand up to the lively and snazzy rhythm of Sonic CD.

2) Kirby Mass Attack - Forest
Bob-omb battlefield will always be regarded as one of the more memorable Mario tracks, but there's something about Mass attack's track that just warms the heart with charm.

3) Kirby 64: the Crystal Shards - Grasslands
No contest, While Grasslands isn't exactly great, at least it kept me interested. I really did not think much for Streets of Rage IMO.

1)Blaster Master

2)Bob-omb Battlefield

3)Streets of Rage

1. Blaster Master - Forest
2. Super Mario 64 - Bob-omb Battlefield
3. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Grasslands

Sonic CD — Palmtree Panic
Kirby Mass Attack — Forest
Streets of Rage 2 — Go Straight

Sonic CD wins 10-4
Super Mario 64 wins 9-6
Streets of Rage 2 wins 8-6

That was one of the best rounds we've had in a while if you want my honest opinion. We still have some heavy hitters coming up so i'm excited to see how everything turns out.
Here is a link to the current bracket

1) Rhythm Heaven - Built to Scale vs. Banjo Kazooie - Mumbo's Mountain

2) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Kokiri Forest vs. Contra - Stage 1

3) Ristar - Shooting Ristar vs. Super Castlevania IV - Dance of the Holy Man

1)Rhythm Heaven
Banjo&Kazooie just annoys me
2)TLoZ: Ocarina of Time

3)Super Castlevania
I could hum this for days.

1. Banjo-Kazooie - Mumbo's Mountain
This is an interesting matchup... Personally I've always found the Rhythm Heaven song extremely annoying and repetitive...

2. Contra - Stage 1
As I've said before, I don't consider the other song a first level theme.

3. Ristar - Shooting Ristar
This has a nice Sonic-like feel to it that I enjoy.

1. Rhythm Paradise - Built to Scale
A great song that continually gets better. The Banjo-Kazooie song isn't bad but it's not good either. When I was listening to it, I didn't take much notice of it due to how uninteresting it was.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Kokiri Forest
The Contra song is very good but it can't beat this classic.

3. Super Castlevania IV - Dance of the Holy Man
The Ristar song is pretty good but not as good as this awesome song.

1. Rhythm Heaven - Built to Scale
So simple, yet classic.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Kokori Forest
Beautiful as always.

3. Rinstar - Shooting Ristar
Nice vibes
