This is probably totally out there but I would have to say that every Mother/Earthbound that has come out to date has had an amazing soundtrack. Like the Eight Melodies was arranged into this beautiful chorale piece on the original soundtrack and it's so amazing. Like Zelda in a way, Mother/Earthbound always makes music and sound a big part of the game. Even Mother/Earthbound 0 had an amazing soundtrack and it was released on the NES. |

A sentence for you to read underneath my avatar.

You are indeed a Legend of Zeldarian. However, although yes, Zelda has some of the best soundtracks in the history of video games, I still think there are some games that surpass it. I know this is the Nintendo forums, but personally, I think the game Shadow of the Colosuss had way more adventerous and epic music than any LOZ game. I have to say, the music when fighting the Colossi in that game, it just blows LOZ's boss music right out of the water. You can't compare something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHbcyPQ4Z3c <---------------------------(It's awesome!) to something like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUuo_PfcxN4 <---------------------------------(Sheer epicness) Sorry, but for Skyward Sword, Shigeru and the other Nintendo game producers should consider Kō Ōtani rather than Koji Kondo, just this one time. |

Well of course you can't compare something on N64 to Shadow of Colossus :< But I do agree that that SoC song blows that OoT song out of the water (however, OoT's final boss music I think blows both out of the water, 'course that's just me saying ;D). Also, Koji doesn't compose too much for the Zelda series himself anymore, it's mostly his underlings that do. For instance, he only composed one (maybe two) songs for Spirit Tracks. He just approves/disapproves the music and oversees it and all. I kinda wish he would do more composing himself, but oh well. He knows exactly what music is needed for different games and situations and all, which is good. Like Miyamoto, he has a very good understanding of the world of a video game and how music should adapt to it. But Koji probably won't be composing much of Skyward Sword's music anyway :< Still, they're using an orchestra, so I'm sure he'll be directing, like he did with Super Mario Galaxy. And he does a great job of that - he knows that with Mario and Zelda music, it can't just be static. It has to adapt to what's happening on screen, and when directing SMG's orchestra, he would have them do crazy things like go at weird tempos and all so they could match it with what happens on the game. And for Zelda, this is about 10 times more important than in Mario, so I know he'll handle it well ;D Anyhow, the main reason I said LoZ has the best music is exactly because of the things I explained - the amazing ways in which it's used significantly. In terms of actual music though, Professor Layton and Mother have some astounding compositions. |

As much as I like the game, I didn't like Earthbounds music at all. A lot of the songs were rather boring, and aside from Eight Melodies and Porky Means business, none the songs were very memorable. Mother 3 improved drastically on this, though. Specifically any of the songs related to the Pig Mask Army or Porky. Edited by BonBon, Jul 16 2010, 07:45 PM.

I can see where you're coming from, but I'm not sure if you are talking about the Earthbound/Mother series as a whole or just one game. Are you talking about Earthbound 0 by chance, the game that wasn't released in the U.S. but was years later as a rom? It was released on the NES, but only in Japan. That's the soundtrack I was talking about. But, Earthbound, the one that was released in the U.S. on the SNES, the music didn't do much for me, honestly. Mother 3 has got to be my favorite soundtrack. Porky's Theme is my favorite and so is the Love Theme and certain battle themes featured throughout the game.

I was specifically referring to Earthbound for the SNES. I haven't played Mother 1, nor have I bothered to look up anything about it online, so I have no idea if the music in that game is decent or not. |

Casual Bowser... oh, the horror!

Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Galaxy. Why? Because they are fully orchestrated, they sound great, and they fit the mood of the situation you are in. |
