* Both iterations of [[https://youtu.be/WDcWheuNjrI?si=e9ek25iyxSWsbpwL Detrius]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nERqDh85RO0 Desert]] are equally amazing takes on the usual ShiftingSandLand sound. While the original track infuses a bubbly J-Pop sound with wind instruments to make a fun and energetic song, the HD track instead mixes Spanish guitar and violin with a pumping dance beat to make a moodier, hard hitting song.

* [[https://youtu.be/ScQRcFGrmhg Monkey Island]] is an exciting and energetic start to the game. It's not present in the HD version however.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVMDU9eB12M Castle Stage.]] Basically the half-brother of the sky theme from the original ''Monkey Ball''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5bUpJ5mGoI Dinner Stage]] gives off groovy lounge vibes that you can't help dancing to.
* The ambient, cool theme of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiXAz0_Hgqw Glacier Tour]] quickly became popular among fans.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfKST7I5KCw Monkey Race]] is fun and energetic, and fits the racing motif perfectly.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ZiPED-k9U Monkey Fight]] is chaotic and fast-paced, much like the minigame itself.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L6F5_K425Y Monkey Target.]] Probably the best minigame music in the game. It perfectly sets the mood of freely flying over the ocean.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK9pIEJzI64 Monkey Bowling.]] DISCO TIME!

%%* Both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqnjhZToAuE Main]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRXNQuiTUW8 Menu]] themes.

* The music for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp6x6mOzR4k Monkey Target's Menu]] also deserves some credit.
* Listening to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psulcGFIAf0 the music after finishing a minigame]] and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzWubmr6zHs credits music]] just feels so satisfying. So does the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d57RITRqVgE Name Entry/Rankings theme.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOfUjtpqCdk Super Spin, this game's Bonus Stage theme,]] is just as upbeat and fun as the original.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT-1Wp8hIB0 Mutator, Dr. Bad-Boon's Base's theme,]] doesn't sound like your typical evil villain lair theme, but it may be the best EternalEngine theme in the series.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_tZo7WhIy0 Monkey Shot-Expert.]] Another space theme, although more ambient.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88P2HEl8BYA 1/F, Monkey Target 2's theme,]] is just as awesome as its predecessor and for the same reasons.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP0nnHCVXPw Monkey Soccer]] is surprisingly calm, with a little bit of disco vibes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrFZYC1cwfc Monkey Billiards 2,]] or, alternatively, [[WildWest cowboy billiards.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ReHQIjShSg The Staff Credits theme]] is just as satisfying to hear as the original.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPQx8CkiMS8 Underwater]] sounds calmer than its original version in ''Super Monkey Ball'', but still gives off an adrenaline pumping feel.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvZ9guL5laI Storm]] is a loose remix of ''Super Monkey Ball''[='=]s Sky High stage, but delivers the same feel.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTDUQMFWvz0 Meteorite Mayhem.]] There seems to be a running theme with awesome space themes in this series. This theme was remixed in ''Banana Blitz''[='=]s "Sinking Swamp".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pG4o4SdxZLI Zero-G Station.]] A mix of the lullaby-ish sounds of "Big Bang Boom" and parts of ''Super Monkey Ball 2''[='=]s "Space Colony". This was remixed for "Ultra Heaven" in ''Banana Blitz''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OB15Q__I-bw Pirate's Ocean's]] theme defines GangplankGalleon, turning the already ominous yet upbeat "Tempest Storm" into a spectacular spooky sea shanty perfect for any ship graveyard.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa9QOpF-CYs Cobalt Cavern]] is a cave filled with snow and neon-colored mushrooms, and it's got a very fitting theme to go with it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pkNIa40-eQ Sinking Swamp]] mixes the cliched somber jungle music with the intense J-Pop vibes heard throughout the game, and the result is well worth a listen. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2OPJt5-GUs Swamps of Side Chain]] replaces it in HD, and it's a relaxing trance track with a languid drone and juxtaposing wooden drum beats halfway.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFQSbR1BUi8 Ultra Heaven]]'s hyper-energetic song will definitely come in aid when you're about to chuck your Wiimote out the window for how [[BrutalBonusLevel brutally difficult]] this world is. It even appeared in ''Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing'' as a testament to how good it is.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nph4kixZFWw Hee Hee Cannon's]] boss theme gives you the feeling of fighting a crazed bounty hunter.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EewhkYrH-zM Technosoul's]] boss theme is intense, gritty, and has one absolutely killer bass line. After all, it's a fight on top of a giant robot dinosaur, so why not make the music as insanely epic as that concept?
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usJVbYtwgz8 Baboon Croon's theme.]] Sega deserves props for making the boss's SoBadItsGood singing sound badass.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h95lOlfioQw Magimacaque]] has a theme that fits her crazed magician motif. [[EnsembleDarkhorse Considering her popularity among fans]], many say she has the best boss theme in the game.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxVUssroaDE Monkey Golf theme from Touch and Roll]] has been given a very calm remix, but doesn't make it any less cheery. Same thing applies for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMI3TIYitn8 Monkey Target 2 Menu remix.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCxxTQayxJg Woody Arch River Remix]] is a more rocking take on this Monkey Boat theme from SMB2, now with a guitar solo.
* The remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNgOgZLZocw Monkey Shot-Expert]] sets the tone for the tense mini games that take place in space.
* ''Touch & Roll''[='=]s Monkey Fight theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcwQy2Izmsw has been remastered]], and keeps a cheerful tone for the more chaotic mini games.

* When you hear the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS5Ftxxn6m4 title theme]] of this game, you know the party's about to get started. And now, there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSOm3-wCgFg HD remaster's main theme]] by The Banana Fritters.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH3hs_gT0ig Far East]] and its vocal version [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTcKpl2SP0o SA*KU*RA]]. Not only do the songs feel just like you're in feudal Japan, they're also catchy to boot.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2qcIneXnww The Guiding Star]], the vocal track for Polar Festival, takes the crazy hard dance/cheerful song and works them with uplifting lyrics that pulls it all together.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO6iRtaprjc Magma Valley.]] This epic mix of rock 'n' roll and techno-pop fits perfectly into any volcano level.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVv2Ey5-A_Q Siliconia]] starts off simple, but as it progresses, it becomes one of the most beautiful level themes in ''Super Monkey Ball'' history.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR__JuaEsB8 Sweet Fountain]] fits a level that lives up to its name.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1wX-9tDQX4 Bananightmare]] has a very somber, spooky feel to it, which helps add to the [[BigBoosHaunt Spooky]] [[CreepyCemetery Grave Yard]] setting. It eventually goes to a more playful, mischievous tone, implying the spirits are about to prank your poor monkey.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14oDJuBuO5Q Dragon's Journey]] has a fun, up-beat Oriental feel to it.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfDaGASG1I8 Skypolis]] traces back to the series' roots in ''Monkey Ball''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obgWtzKU46Y Space Factory,]] AKA [[https://youtu.be/OI6OOOMpBQ4 "FREAK 2NITE"]]. As always, the [[RecurringLocation obligatory space level]] gets the obligatory awesome techno theme, this time composed by ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' composer Hideki Naganuma under the name "skankfunk".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5gwaPZbbaI Monkey Race: Mt. Tyrano,]] AKA [[https://youtu.be/dpjrBFi9PZ0 "SOLIDNESS"]], is an underrated gem even among the ''Super Monkey Ball'' series.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwN2XK4_7g8 Monkey Fight: White Cliffs.]] Truly one of the most epic technopop themes heard in a videogame.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDOLJrM4pqQ Name Entry]] theme is just so tropical and cheerful it would be a sin not to put it on here.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edE-zDV7-pQ Even the credits theme]] is just too cheerful to ignore.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9Uf16-vz3g Monkey Island]] is a cool remix of the original Jungle Island theme, pure nostalgia fuel.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-Wgo_UL594 Night Island]] gives off a cool jungle vibe, [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants At NIGHT!]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbZBbWzsJeM Lava Island]] continues the trend of volcano level themes being awesome.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJiZ8zrmm_g Foggy Temple.]] After the music finishes building up, prepare for one of the most intense {{Prehistoria}} themes in video game history.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-yOc9P1MG0 Cardboard West]] fits the Wild West theme like a glove.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqumTYJBqUc Space Wars]] sounds like something you would rap to, and feels straight out of ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' [[HilariousInHindsight (despite predating it by 3 1/2 years)]].

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM3qQMPvqfY The Edit]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOaiY7RjcLo Stage/Love]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5gCf1J3hqs Maze themes]] make you feel like you're inside a video game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccdOGoKkz-A Monkey Bowling (Regular Lane).]] Any fan of techno music should not overlook this one.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCNv6-Pbhh4 Monkey Bowling (Irregular Lane)]] is a more [[DarkReprise erratic and foreboding]] take on its counterpart.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqLrTcECZD4 Monkey Bingo]] is another awesome techno-party theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLilvXgsei8 Battle Billiards.]] Just TRY to get it out of your head.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYbU9Lxn4VE Monkey Rodeo]] might bring back memories of the slide levels from ''VideoGame/SpongebobSquarepantsBattleForBikiniBottom''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XsV9q2Idyc Monkey Target]] has another awesome theme. Although not as calm and ambient as its predecessors, it fits the [[TimeTravel prehistoric setting]] nicely.

* The Banana Fritters, returning from ''Banana Blitz HD'', again provide the title theme, "Hello BANANA!!" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPq2YC1auJk English]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEg73I4Y-vI Japanese]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnlE0H9Uyo4 Instrumental]]), a lively, jazzy tune befitting a celebration of the series' 20th anniversary.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr3LthACAd8 "Banana Mania"]] by Music/HyperPotions, the launch trailer theme, is an absolutely happy and energetic electronic music piece in line with Hyper Potions' style of feel-good and upbeat EDM and reminiscent of their songs for the previous Sega game ''VideoGame/SonicMania''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57OwPPOpCpM Temple Trouble]] from ''Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed'' remixes the Monkey Island themes from ''[=SMB1=]'' and ''Banana Blitz'' for the sea and land sections respectively.
