I went for quantity over quality, in the sense that I included games where I can comfortably say I like the majority of the soundtrack, and excluded games with a handful of 10/10 bops but a lot of mid tracks. In that same vain I excluded games whose soundtracks were mainly taken from other games.

Honorable mentions to:
- Wario Land 4 (for being one of the most unqiue and respectable soundtracks of all time, but one I'd be unlikely to listen to)
- Resident Evil (for having music that intentionally fits its vibe, and doing that well)
- Smash Bros (because that's just cheating)
