Favorite NES music

[electricmastro]

A thread about music favorited from the NES. For me, I tend to favor the bouncier, energetic melody-driven songs, especially if they also have a slower tone that manages to give it a sort of elegant grace to it. My favorites include:

 

Batman: Return of the Joker - Stage 1:

 

 

DuckTales - The Amazon:

 

 

Maniac Mansion - Dave's Theme:

 

 

Mega Man 2 - Bubble Man Stage:

 

 

The Smurfs - The Swamps:
