I thought of this post entirely because I have the Pokémon Center theme from Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver stuck in my head, and it has wriggled in over and over for months despite me hearing and actively making other music.
The festival song or cascade theme, both from mario odyssey.
I also really like celeste’s soundtrack
Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.
top gun! yewtu.be/watch?v=Vg5h85k42jU
I can't pick just one, honestly. Aside from the Tetris theme and World 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros., I consider these to be not only catchy but also iconic:
I can never pick one, so here’s a few:
E1M1(Doom)
Hell March(Red Alert)
Down by the River(BG3)
Megalovania(Undertale)
Hell March! The Red Alert 2 version is the best one to me, maybe because it was the first I heard or because it just feels punchier.
Doom E1M1 on my soundblaster and my Roland MT-32, all pumped through my surround sound system in my concrete dorm room in late 1992 and I won’t hear otherwise.
E1M1 is great, top tier music.
The level clear screen music, E2M8, E1M8, and E1/2M9 tracks are all other top tier track contending for the throne.
Doom II introduced a few more bangers too, but I’m not as able to call the level codes to mind off the top of my head.
Easy answer for me, chemical plant zone from Sonic the hedgehog 2
We All Lift Together from Warframe goes fucking hard.
The Stupendium made an Outer Worlds song called The Fine Print that also goes hard af for either setting imo.
Some other bangers are the entire Silent Hill 3 sound track and My Dark Disquiet by Poets of the Fall from Control.
For me it’s Gyromite: Gyromite - NES
Ever since I first heard it a few months ago, it has never left my mind for even a second.
Free by Crush 40
Sadly this great song was tied to a spin-off series killing game.
I feel like Sea Shanty 2 from Old School Runescape is a strong contender. Even if you have never played Runescape there is a good chance you know it.
How has no one mentioned the tetris theme? Dum dada dum dada dum dada dum dada dum di da da da
Back when groceries were cheaper, I would hum that while putting items on the belt to get scanned.
Not what you asked for, but my music taste was shaped massively by Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series
NA NANANA NANAANANA NA KATAMARI DAMACY
I recently obtained a unicorn of a CRT and have been replaying this
Man the soundtrack alone could get me to play Katamari games. I got a birthday gift card recently and was deciding what game to get, when one of the OSTs came up on YT Music and I listened to it for like a week straight. Immediately got We ❤️ Katamari + DLC on 80% sale.
Could scream that shit in my car honestly.
Minecraft by C418 lives rent free in my head. Sometimes i’ll start humming it to myself and not even realize
Iwatodai Dorm from Persona 3 Reload was the most recent one that really got stuck in my head, but it happens a lot for me. It’s not always video game music, but probably is a majority of the time.
It’s an old one, but the Outrun soundtrack was proper catchy.
Splash Wave, Passing Breeze, or Magical Sound Shower?
It’s a recent one, but I haven’t been able to get Gestral Summer Party out of my head since I first heard it in Expedition 33 last month.
A lot from Undertale.
Other than this, The Trumpet 4 is catchy as heck.
Opening theme of Civ VI. It‘s Songno di Volare nade by Christopher Tin.
Baba Yetu is also great
This guy studies the old magicks
Everything from Grim Fandango.
It’s cheating, but there was a track in need for speed carbon that was catchy as hell. Love me or hate me, by Lady Sovereign
Not technically video game music, but it’s one of the few tracks in any video game that I went out of my way to find outside of a game.
megalovania is one of the badasses in my book
DuckTales (NES) - Moon Theme. The covers are also awesome.
Old RuneScape Soundtrack: Harmony
The Driftveil City Theme from Pokemon B&W pops up in my mind quite frequently, I’d say its up there in the list for catchiest Pokemon tunes. Honorable mention for Cave Story’s Main Theme (the wii version is clearly superior from all others and I will not accept any other opinions on the matter)
Tetris Theme A.
My brain defaults to this if I fell the need to fill silence with sound. It’s like it’s implanted into my Brian as the “default” song.
This is one of the songs I hum to myself to get rid of more annoying earworms
There are better pieces of music in this thread, but this one is the strongest earworm.
