History AwesomeMusic / EarthBound

[[AC:{{Mother}}]]
* The ''Mother'' games' signature song: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDpowHy2QPI Pollyanna (I Believe In You)]]".
** As far as the actual in-game versions go, they aren't too shabby; [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYqDCPg7GPE Mother]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcoFILRmugQ Earthbound]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Fc2H7jvQM Mother 3]].
** Also the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGB1e9BABNM Smash Bros. version]]. Definitely one of the better remixes from ''Melee''.
* The ''VideoGame/MOTHER1'' [[http://starmen.net/mother1/music/01%20-%20MOTHER%20-%20Introduction.mp3 title theme]], also called "Mother Earth" or "Time Passage". [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKpaKlatg5M This video pretty much sums it up]].
* Snowman appeared in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IELsLzNtkbg ''MOTHER'']], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjVx2FVENJ4 ''MOTHER 2/EarthBound'']], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH8JL_jGS_w ''MOTHER 3'']], was [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M60tdB383ZM remade for ''MOTHER 1+2'']], appeared in a remixed form on the ''MOTHER'' soundtrack (which was an incredible album considering it was more than just a BGM-rip) and of course has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Md2ODg-0M the obligatory Brawl remix]] which makes it even more haunting and beautiful.
* There's also [[http://starmen.net/mother1/music/26%20-%20MOTHER%20-%20Roving%20Tank.mp3 Rovin' Tank!]] from the first game.
* And the awesomely romantic [[http://starmen.net/mother1/music/30%20-%20MOTHER%20-%20All%20That%20I%20Needed%20Was%20You.mp3 All That I Needed (Was You)]].
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhhy5sylSD8 Maybe now you have figured it out, that's what bein' friends is all about!]]" ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TF8waW3nXo And the game version, as well.]])
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrtM4onLQ1I Take a melody, simple as can be...]]
** Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7S0aQEfUX4 the equivalent song in the sequel]].
*** See also the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZbqrZJ9VA4 song in Mother 3 which combines the two melodies above and the Love Theme]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNyt7Sv-7b0 Show me the WIIIIS-DOM of the world...]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_arLw3I2QI Here's a great string orchestral version.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26D1fHpy0hM Fallin' Love]]. It's...beautiful.
** Unfortunately, the intro of the cover from the OST sounds like something from a bad porno... But either way, it's a masterpiece.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOUKQLbWlbs This]] is an awesome remix that twists the melody into something new.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZknAIYHCa6w The Twinkle Elementary theme]]. Which was then remixed into [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en5MpP4Wnhg the file select theme from the sequel]]. And was then made even ''more'' awesome in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ7VuVx5oZs the credit crawl for the Game Boy Camera]].
* Two words. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO6MwfIW3fE Dangerous. Foe.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k9h1e22VwA The relaxing Magicant]] theme from the first Mother game.

[[AC:{{Earthbound}}]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oa_GzFRmpc The song]] [[http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/03/pokey-means-business/ Cease to Exist]] aka Pokey Means Business used in the battle against Giygas in the "Devil's Machine". It starts out like a throwback to traditional 8-bit RPG battle music, then unexpectedly erupts into something... unsettling.
** And then [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMwHjk60PeE a remix]] that throws away all restraint, culminating in the musical insanity the battle strove for.
** A couple of Japanese guys crank it UpToEleven with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u3B62pYRnw this vocal remix]]. ''SPARK SPARK SPARK SPAAAARK''...
* One of the beautiful ending themes to ''Earthbound'', known as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwHZwvTdnPI Smiles and Tears]].
** "I miss you."
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmhO07S5Ty0 This remix]] features one of the most beautiful violin solos ever written.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QcnI9EXUlI Good Friends, Bad Friends.]] All the best songs combined into an amalgam of awesome.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIZVQxcFW7A Because I Love You]] or even the remixed version which plays [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvBT1Cspwss in Fourside]].
* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj8nv5sk1Kc#t=3m25s Giygas Battle Music]] that plays during his second form. Insanely creepy and way ahead of its time. It sounds like something from ''Silent Hill''. Certainly not the kind of music you expect from a final boss fight in a JRPG.
** Even moreso the music after you beat Giygas.
** Seconded. Those death cries over the static set in musical tone were one of the most jaw-dropping death scenes of the generation.
* For some 1950's rock 'n' roll goodness, you have a choice for the 'New Age Retro Hippie' battle theme from the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps3tJ6dFmKE first]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mo8rU7VjJ9Y second]] games, and 'Rock and Roll' (either [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uVECeqZZaQ 'Mild']] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndY3sNdTzjM 'Spicy']]) from ''Mother 3''.
* [[http://starmen.net/mother2/music/060-%20Earthbound%20-%20Paula_s%20Theme.mp3 Paula's Theme]].
* [[http://starmen.net/rockcandy/boundtogether/ Bound Together]]; "48 songs Nearly 3 hours of music 8 bonus songs including demos and alternate takes the VGFrequency radio show from October 29th which featured the debut of Bound Together." Download it and give it a listen, If you have any love for Earthbound, it ''will'' take you back.
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXro1PFCC8E&fmt=18 Mustin's vocal version of the Flying Man theme]] from said album.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmTs4ZFXvlM The Runaway Five Left The Building]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMiEZ7AvUD4 Runaway Five Final Performance]], for jazz goodness.
** As well as a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-BqakRd64c vocal arrangement]] made by {{Hyadain}} himself.
* The sublimely groovy [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-iZopf7POc Sanctuary Guardian]] boss theme is an absurdly chill remix of Mother's boss theme.
** On the subject of boss themes, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmuYSU0ghKU Otherworldly Foe]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYSPtfirLM Hi Hi Hi]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D20dF5Ao1mE Kraken. Of. The. Sea.]]
* How about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XRNibspon0 the "Heartless Hotel" music]] in Threed? Sounds like the hotel is having a stroke...
* You know you're in serious trouble when you hear [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRL5TWF_0eU this.]] The only way to describe this song is that it sounds cold and dead.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNGY_fvXUCY The Onett theme.]] A ridiculously ear-wormy theme for a wonderful first town.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFU6zwV47Q4 Battle against a Machine]].

[[AC:VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-C3T83mUpc Master Porky's Theme]] from ''Mother 3''.
* Also from ''Mother 3'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPQ8rkfMzm0 "Unfounded Revenge" (the Fierce Pork Trooper's boss music) and "Smashing Song of Praise" (the Steel Mechorilla's boss music)]]. They're in ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'' for a reason.
* Hell, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMcEBUnIDgs You Call This A Utopia?!?]], and the ''Super Smash Bros Brawl'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfP5KaWwQ1c version]] are Crowning Music Of Creepy.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwoqY0PISCs F-F-F-F-F-FIRE!]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhllp2DV5r0 Ode to Ancestors: 8th Movement]] works as a MomentOfAwesome, since it puts several well-known pieces of classical music together.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiMOHUANeLk Family Matters: 2nd Movement]] also works for the same reason.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBGILqp6kQs Porky's Porkies]] is a bizarre, yet supremely awesome, 8-bit track form the third installment.''
** While not complete, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_N53qJYjWg this guy's]] remix probably counts as well.
** By the same token, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JpLPVZNfO8 that little song]] that plays when DCMC comes to the rescue. Surprisingly good, considering it's something most people probably won't hear all the way through.
* One Word: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ4ChNgMLjQ Mother!?]] As if Chapter 6 of ''Mother 3'' wasn't poignant enough, this song really drives it into absolute TearJerker territory.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thBxpSbFaeg A Letter to you, Honey]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jt8RpLZzNY Letter from you, my sweet]] pull off the same effect.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODCPUNtocwU Run, My Dog, Run!]] from ''Mother 3''. It's basically the soundtrack to Boney's CrowningMomentOfAwesome. Whether or not Boney is the most powerful character, that scene singlehandedly solidified his "Boney is awesome" status forever.
* Whether [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAY53qUUzy4 cheery]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idULzIIF950 heartrending]], Theme of Love is simply a beautiful song. There's also [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufR3Uu1TWJ0 THIS. Dananana DANANANA]].
** Speaking of Theme of Love, there is also the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fax72hPuoEw vocal version of the song]] which is sweet and heartrending no matter what language it's being sung in.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w36PdRaRSi4 Mind of a Thief]] from ''Mother 3'', the Tazmily music for Chapter 2.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4nDglu78d8 Intense Guys]]. It seems like okay boss music, until you realize that... "Whoa, that's not a boss I'm fighting. It's a freaking golden bat." Possibly the most epic non-boss tune in existence.
** Sticking with epic non-boss music, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xju4bK8INU Bothersome Guys]].
** Speaking of guys, they can also be quite [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQxEKE2FLas cumbersome]] at times.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw1s0r6NUAc Volcano! Inferno!]], man. A slow yet exciting piece, perfect for exploring a volcano.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOIej1AMqIQ A Railway In Our Village?]] is sadly only played in the beginning of the future.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LovjsnINGjk Piggy Guys]] is so awesome that it received an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjFFmBSEHig epic remix]] that contains another song which SHOULD have been in ''Brawl''.
* Though they were basically a spinoff of the Runaway Five from ''Earthbound'', DCMC was an in-game rock/jazz band that took a few of the best Crowning Music of Awesome candidates from the game and made them a million times more Awesome. For example, the "DCMC Theme," a remix of Duster's "Mind of a Thief" tune.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z_UrNvRhpY&fmt=18 Fate]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8gzPalCyVc&fmt=18 Serious]] from ''Mother 3''. The way to combo these songs is pretty clever, too.
** Here's an [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ddhhB4Gizk awesome remix]] of these songs too!
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHEhkeRlldQ Natural Killer Cyborg]]. An amazing rockin' theme that assures the player they are going up against a massive super-robot, and it's even got a bit of 'Beat It' mixed in for extra awesomeness.
* At the end of ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', the most beautiful songs from the trilogy are reprised, including (surprisingly) the ''VideoGame/MOTHER1'' main theme. What makes it go into absolute TearJerker territory, though, is the reprise of ''Pollyanna'', played as [[spoiler:you take the boat ride to Porky's room]]. What makes it so sad is that [[spoiler:Porky has crossed the MoralEventHorizon so many, MANY times, in such horrible ways, that you know there's no way he can have a happy ending, and also that you're surrounded by mementos from ''Earthbound'': turns out he really did like Ness as a friend after all, huh?]]
* Both [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WjEF9H3LBA Dangerous Guys]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ_njpif0yw Even More Dangerous Guys]] feature a fantastic saxophone line that you just can't help but smile when listening to either.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmobfd3hiUk Bon Voyage Amigo]]. Only a game like ''Mother 3'' can make what's supposed to be the joyous occasion of completing your party, a TearJerker moment.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-EKQp4Hedk It Is Finished/It's Over]], a remix of the Love Theme played at the climax of Mother 3 where [[spoiler: The Masked Man AKA Claus finally comes to his senses and says one last goodbye and apologizes to Lucas before killing himself.]] It's... [[TearJerker * sob* very sad. * sniff* ]]
* Bordering on CrowningMusicOfAwesome and NightmareFuel is the final boss theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzEDw9lNxpo Battle Against]] [[spoiler:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzEDw9lNxpo The Masked Man]]]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyo-bisJ1L4 Fall of the Pig King]] should have been used in the game.
** On that note, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwH0izveHmA Sad Tazmily]].
* The transitioning of the music in Mother 3 works out really well. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wsNJ9K9ROw The MT Apartments]] song represents mystery, what has happened to our world? Immediately afterwards, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcfV4HvPE5Q Leder's Gymnopedie]] explains. The scene is concluded by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_jTw7HopPA The unnamed remix of the Chapter 3 closing music]], which symbolizes Lucas's ambition to do whatever it takes to bring back peace.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr-TJTK2XmY Refreshing Toilets]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds2rJxjOUkQ Monkey's Love Song.]] Being stuck with a total douchebag should ''not'' sound this catchy...
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjRCgPFS2Jw Strong One]] is quite possibly one of the best boss themes in a game with nothing but good boss themes. Enjoy comboing to [[UncommonTime the 15/8 meter]].
* The music used in the battle against [[spoiler: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRNdp6t4oeU Mecha-Drago]]]]. Very melancholic, very awesome.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTiLBXsFRW4 Battle Against the Masked Man]]. Massive NightmareFuel in this song; it sounds like the soundtrack is dying.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPvuoI672IU Wasteful Anthem]] has a flute portion worth listening to.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA0UC3D_Zoo Even]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o-cxJ6z_oA the]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUtO0RrR67Q songs]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o-cxJ6z_oA that]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21FRBqqhFAc only]] [[WastedSong a few people will ever hear]] are still amazing.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0OVbqOJFJs Gentle Rain]], a very peaceful and soothing track. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-uNc8b0MHw Mother 3i]] remixed version combines this with a remix of Confusion, the music that plays when [[spoiler: Flint finds out Hinawa has been killed in a not precisely tactful manner]], perfectly conveying a sense of shock and loss.
* The entire game kicks off with a little song called [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN5r1Ou99YY Naming Friends]]. It's a gentle, moving piece that helps welcome the player to the Mother 3 world.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqBwqjmEWLM The Attic's A Dungeon!?]] is pretty easily overlooked, playing in only one pretty short area, but that doesn't stop it from being an awesome beat.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFFNzipmvoY The Green Train's Fun Too!]] sums up the joy of riding a green-colored train.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obwv8E16ktg A Tiny, Enormous Miracle]], one of the game's most [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming heartwarming]] pieces of music. Especially at the 1:05 mark, when it changes to a beautiful reprise of "A Railway In Our Village?".
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1apnueAdZRs Memory of Life]], the ''very'' last song of the entire franchise. A soft, heartwarming track that is all but saying "the happy ending is finally here, after all this time."
----

* The ''Mother'' games' signature song: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDpowHy2QPI Pollyanna (I Believe In You)]]". This troper has yet to hear a more beautiful video game tune.
** As far as the actual in-game versions go, they aren't too shabby; [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYqDCPg7GPE&feature=related Mother]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcoFILRmugQ&feature=related Earthbound]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4Fc2H7jvQM&feature=related Mother 3]].

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhhy5sylSD8 Maybe now you have figured it out, that's what bein' friends is all about!]]" I don't know why people keep forgetting this one! ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TF8waW3nXo&feature=related And the game version, as well]])

* Where, oh where, is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26D1fHpy0hM Fallin' Love]]? It's...beautiful.

* And don't forget one of the beautiful ending themes to ''Earthbound'', known as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwHZwvTdnPI Smiles and Tears]]. This troper almost cried...to video game music.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmhO07S5Ty0 This remix]] features one of the most beautiful violin solos I've ever heard.
** I'll see your Smiles and Tears and raise you one [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QcnI9EXUlI&feature=related Good Friends, Bad Friends.]] All the best songs combined into an amalgam of awesome.

* How has nobody mentioned the sublimely groovy [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-iZopf7POc Sanctuary Guardian]] boss theme from EarthBound? It's an absurdly chill remix of Mother's boss theme and makes me look forward to fighting the Your Sanctuary bosses every time.
** If we're talking boss themes, we can't leave out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmuYSU0ghKU&feature=related Otherworldly Foe]].
* No mention of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQYSPtfirLM Hi Hi Hi]] yet?

* Here's a classic from a ROMhack about Halloween. Long story short: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIowwZThIXM best thing ever. Listen to it NOW.]] It's so good, it was included in the newest MSPaintAdventures EarthBound thing's CTRL+T/SHIFT+T easter egg!
** I believe there is a mixup. The hack is called Radiation's Halloween Hack or Radiation's Press the B Button Idiot. It is NOT about Halloween it was made for a Halloween contest, where it won an award. Toby "Radiation" Fox is one of the leading composers of Homestuck, and this song, Megalovania was redone as MeGaLoVania for the letimof of the character Vriska.

* You know you're in serious trouble when you hear [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRL5TWF_0eU&feature=related this.]] The only way to describe this song is that it sounds cold and dead.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNGY_fvXUCY&feature=related The Onett theme.]] A ridiculously ear-wormy theme for a wonderful first town.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiMOHUANeLk&feature=related Family Matters: 2nd Movement]] also works for the same reason.

** While not complete, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_N53qJYjWg&feature=related this guy's]] remix probably counts as well.
** By the same token, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JpLPVZNfO8&feature=related that little song]] that plays when DCMC comes to the rescue. Surprisingly good, considering it's something most people probably won't hear all the way through.

** Speaking of Theme of Love there is also the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fax72hPuoEw vocal version of the song]] which is sweet and heartrending no matter what languge its being sung in.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w36PdRaRSi4&fmt=18 Mind of a Thief]] from ''Mother 3'', the Tazmily music for Chapter 2.

** The most epic non-boss theme in existence? I think [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xju4bK8INU Bothersome Guys]] would like to have a word with you.
** Speaking of guys, they can also be quite [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQxEKE2FLas&feature=related cumbersome]] at times.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw1s0r6NUAc&fmt=18 Volcano! Inferno!]], man. A slow yet exciting piece, perfect for exploring a volcano.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOIej1AMqIQ&fmt=18 A Railway In Our Village?]] is sadly only played in the beginning of the future.

* Though they were basically a spinoff of the Runaway Five from ''Earthbound'', DCMC was an in-game rock/jazz band that took a few of the best Crowning Music of Awesome candidates from the game and made them a million times more Awesome. This troper especially loved the "DCMC Theme," a remix of Duster's "Mind of a Thief" tune.

** Oh, my heart. It hurts...* sobs*

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyo-bisJ1L4&feature=related Fall of the Pig King]] Totally needed to have been used in the game :(

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ds2rJxjOUkQ&feature=related Monkey's Love Song.]] Being stuck with a total douchebag should ''not'' sound this catchy...

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0OVbqOJFJs&feature=related Gentle Rain]] ranks at the top of my list for peaceful and soothing music. The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-uNc8b0MHw&feature=related Mother 3i]] remixed version combines this with a remix of Confusion, the music that plays when [[spoiler: Flint finds out Hinawa has been killed in a not precisely tactful manner]], perfectly conveying a sense of shock and loss.

* Bordering on CrowningMusicOfAwesome and HighOctaneNightmareFuel is the final boss theme, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzEDw9lNxpo Battle Against]] [[spoiler:[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzEDw9lNxpo The Masked Man]]]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oa_GzFRmpc The song]] [[http://earthboundcentral.com/2009/03/pokey-means-business/ Cease to Exist]] used in the battle against Giygas in the "Devil's Machine".
