1 Game, 1 Song

I pick 1 song per game to showcase. Sometimes it might be what I think is the best song in the game, other times it's just my favorite song. Includes DLCs if they're separate campaigns. I might also cheat a little bit with remakes/ remasters.

Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight
This is by far the hardest game for me on this whole list. Nearly every single song in this game is amazing in its own right. In the end, I pick Sealed Vessel because of how bombastic and emotional it is.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
I didn't grow up with this game, but I gew up with the soundtrack, with lots of small YouTubers often borrowing from it. One of the best soundtracks out there. It's a safe choice, but I'm going with Forest Maze.
