Topic: Nintendo Music App

Haha yeah, of course, but there are also plenty of "lesser" songs that I think are more popular than people realize. I don't think you can use much of anything from Mario Kart 8 for example, pretty much the entire OST is instantly recognizable. (Funnily enough, Lunar Colony is one of the few exceptions I can think of!)

Anyway, here's my own nominees. It was hard to narrow it down to five, hopefully they're deep-cut enough!

Battling Bowser 1: Showdown in Nimbus Arena ~ Super Mario Odyssey
This track is incredibly easy to overlook, because it only plays once during a short fight. I don't think I ever even heard the full thing until this app released! A shame too, because it might be the best track in the game.

Battle Against the Returned Master Kohga ~ The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
I had a few choices for Nintendo's epic Japanese rock songs that I could've used here (like Vs. Ogerpon from Pokémon S/V, or Big Blue 3 from F-Zero X), but I thought to go with this one, because it's very different in style from much of TotK's OST and only plays for a couple of brief fights. Fun fact, I always confuse this one with Battle! Mustard from Pokémon Sw/Sh when it comes up on my playlist. Lol!

Fast-Flowing Waterworks ~ Kirby and the Forgotten Land
I hear KatFL's OST come up a lot in discussions, but no one ever mentions this banger! This was the first song in the game that made me stop and go "oh dang, that's really good". It's this perfect blend of tempo, calm, and rhythm that just speaks to me so well.

All Aboard the Excess Express ~ Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (GameCube)
Much like my recommendation from Odyssey, this song only shows up once and plays very briefly. Moreover, it sounds very different in the remake, where they kind of removed the "train chugging along" sound of it, so I think the original version is worthy of notice!

Rhythm Boxing (Expert) ~ Wii Fit
"I've got a feevah, and the only prescription is more cowbell!"

BONUS: The Frog Flap from the original WarioWare - I don't love this as much as the other items on this list, so I left it off my choices, but I just wanted to bring this one up because I noticed that no one mentioned it when the album released last week. It's such a cheery and fun tune!

ok I have a sicko guess for next week
it won't be a game soundtrack but rather a collection of songs that played in the 3ds eshop

@Sylamp unironically I would really like to have that.

@Sylamp, I second wanting that, even though I have those tracks on my phone already 😛. Though I won't start including that kind of thing in my guesses until more real games are added.

I like that idea, but seeing as we just got a 3DS OST last week with Tomodachi Life, I doubt we'd be getting it next week.

@UpsideDownRowlet oh I'm not expecting it anytime soon, that why I said it's a sicko guess
