* One of the best-known things to come out of the infamous Halloween Hack is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIowwZThIXM Megalovania]]. Perhaps better-known is its [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1p0bLkNGa0 Homestuck remix]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5daGZ96QGU Undertale remix.]]

* [[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, yet [[UpToEleven even more awesome.]]

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RD38RWrdIRU 'Something Strange is Going On']], the song that plays during the Epilogue of Chapter 3 and after [[spoiler:Leder tells the party his lengthy story of the Nowhere Islands]], is absolutely phenomenally fitting for the times it plays- It gives the feeling that Lucas is growing into a true hero in the former scenario, and a feeling of having [[spoiler:the fate of ''everything'' in your hands]]. One of the most underrated pieces in the soundtrack.

**

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNTggZ0em7s Sunflowers and Illusions]] is especially tragic yet hauntingly beautiful.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNyt7Sv-7b0 Show me the wisdom 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.
** [[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=1k9h1e22VwA The relaxing Magicant]] theme from the first Mother game.
** Then the fourth Smash Bros gave us [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHzYs162HSk this spellbindingly beautiful remix,]] the orchestration taking the [[EarWorm catchiness]] to new heights. For the icing on the cake, the bridge contains a condensed violin cover of the Eight Melodies.

* The haunting theme that plays at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nc83W2Hrsk Mt. Itoi.]]
** The GBA port's inferior audio quality ironically makes it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q8I5qTZ6sM WAY better]] than the Famicom/NES originals!

* [[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 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=bhllp2DV5r0 Ode to Ancestors: 8th Movement]] works as a SugarWiki/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=9z_UrNvRhpY Fate]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8gzPalCyVc 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=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 very sad.]]

** 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=mTiLBXsFRW4 Battle Against the Masked Man]]. Massive terror in this song; it sounds like the soundtrack is dying.
** Absolutely nightmarish in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6qKsfCjP90 reverse]].

* [[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 Fun Naming]]. It's a gentle, moving piece that helps welcome the player to the Mother 3 world.
** And after that, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHLy-40kyXs this song]] accompanies a sweeping view over the Nowhere Islands.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1qZPm6xcH8 The Green Run]], a theme for an as yet unknown town or event. A SpiritualSuccessor to Onett's theme, it features the same instrument samples and arrangement style from VideoGame/EarthBound, with a subtly different melody and baseline that'll bring in the nostalgia faster than you can say fuzzy pickles.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw1s0r6NUAc Volcano! Inferno!]] A slow yet exciting piece, perfect for exploring a volcano.

** And yet another [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jotF8H26nE cover]], this one with an acoustic jazz flavor, also incorporating flute. Primarily taking Melee's version as inspiration, it keeps close to the tune while adding some variations of it's own.

** 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=X6UrOCDiNbE Earthbound]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2htRy2c37po Mother1+2]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TXsCvcV5eo Mother 3]].

* Though it may be a FanSequel, it looks as every bit as awesome as the official titles, and it's no slouch in the music department either. A rather awesome example is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyHkW0KKxX8 Battle Against A Familiar Foe]], which mashes together a hodgepodge of instantly recognizable Earthbound sound effects that combine to make for a funky, quirky tune.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqTYpJ1Y918 Boom Town Lounge]] is an infectiously groovy jazz number that appears to be Leo's theme.]]
