Favorite Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Music

[KingDavid73]

I was going through the favorite NES music thread and was surprised to see that there wasn't one for the Genesis. I was a Sega kid in the early 90s, so most of my favorite videogame songs to this day are from that console. I could make an almost endless list, but here's just a few of my favorites:

Sonic 2 - Metropolis Zone


Sonic 2 - Mystic Cave Zone


Sonic 2 - Hill Top Zone


Sonic 2 - Chemical Plant Zone


Sonic 2 - Sky Chase Zone


Sonic 2 - Wing Fortress Zone


Sonic 2 - Special Stage


(and pretty much every other Sonic 2 song.... I've played 100's of Genesis games, and own 100's, but still, most of my favorite Genesis songs were from that one game... wow)

Rocket Knight Adventures 1-1


Rocket Knight Adventures 1-2


Rocket Knight Adventures 2-1


Rocket Knight Adventures 2-2


Rocket Knight Adventures 4


Rocket Knight Adventures 5-2


Rocket Knight Adventures 7


(wow again, a game with incredible music)

As a kid, I played those 2 Genesis games the most, probably, so that's why most of my favorites are from those 2 games.

Sonic 3 - Credits


Sonic 3 - Special Stage


Skitchin' - Cheese Grater


Skitchin' - Psycho Deep Fry


Eternal Champions - Trident


Primal Rage - Land Conquered


Ballz 3D - Opening Theme


ok, I'm going to stop myself there. I'll probably think of some more later, but those are what I could remember off the top of my head.

What else do you guys like? Did I introduce anyone to some great Genesis music?

I love all the music from the first Sonic. Such funky bass.

MUSHA has insanely awesome music!

I'm also a fan of the opening theme to Mega Turrican.

Ristar:





Comix Zone:



Those are some of my favorites. There are lots more though.

[KingDavid73]

oh MAN, how could I forget about Comix Zone?

That somehow reminds me of...

Dynamite Headdy - South Town


Dynamite Headdy - Hattari Is Here


Dynamite Headdy - Opening Theme

[Gamerforlife]

Two of my favorite Streets of Rage tracks, the boss theme(way better than the one in SOR 2) and the boat stage theme




Nice remake of SOR's boss theme from the Remake


Adventures of Batman and Robin Animal Boss

Adventures of Batman and Robin Dark Studio


^This was such a hard Genesis game and the music was appropriately hardcore to match. It was so wonderfully dark and psychotic, which is actually the only thing about the game that actually fits the Batman theme

Earthworm Jim Buttville the Descent

Earthworm Jim For Pete's Sake


Gunstar Heroes Ancient Ruins

Gunstar Heroes Mines


Shinobi III Whirlwind

Shinobi III Idaten


Sonic 3 Ice Cap Zone Act 1

Sonic & Knuckles Robotnick

Sonic & Knuckles Doomsday Zone

S&K Lava Reef Zone Act 2

S&K Sky Sanctuary

S&K Final Boss


Batman Gotham City Streets I


Castlevania Bloodlines Iron Blue Intention

Castlevania Bloodlines The Discolored Wall

Castlevania Bloodlines The Prayer of a Tragic Queen

Castlevania Bloodlines Nothing to Lose

Casltevania Bloodlines A Vision of Dark Secrets

[RyaNtheSlayA]

Also, I see nobody has posted Sonic 3D Blast yet. Regardless how you feel about how the game plays, the music is classic Sonic.

[Gunstar Green]

Some Thunder Force IV...

Lightning Strikes Again

Metal Squad

Fighting Back

and MUSHA

For the Love of...

Galvanic Gear

Full Metal Fighter

I always really enjoyed Sub-Terrania's soundtrack as well. Done by the same people as the Adventures of Batman and Robin.

Introduction

Mission Report

Level IV

Here's a nice little Genesis Music Tribute I just ran across though

You mentioned most of my favorite MUSHA tunes there Gunstar Green.

This one is also fantastic

Genesis music is SO good. I had to limit my choices to a top five. There is just too much good Genesis music, especially Sonic. Genesis sonic music is the essence of brilliance in musical form.

Sonic & Knuckles: Death Egg Zone


Outrun: Splash Wave


Toejam and Earl: Rapmaster Rocket Racket


Super Hang-On: Winning Run


Gunstar Heroes: Stage 1


And, as a bonus since its 32x, one of my all time favorite songs. Door into Summer from Knuckles Chaotix.


Besides Door into Summer, which is in my top five for all consoles ever, this list is probably not THAT accurate. Just what I could remember loving right away. There is so much more I'm just not recalling. Also, I couldn't decide if Green Hill Zone should have been listed. So many good memories attached to that. I just felt like... Everyone has heard it, you know?

seriously you guys?
