6!!VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Platform/{{NES}}
7%%** The version used in Ninja Gaiden Shadow for Platform/GameBoy, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5gomNT6auU Stage 3]].
8%%** Arranged version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9npYervGuJM Stage 3]].
9%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXxuS01PR6g Reflection (Act 5-3's BGM)]] from the first NES game.
10%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-YHcbjb_EI Thunderstorm (Act 2-1's BGM)]] from the second NES game.
11* The underrated [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKt3SkvCwOw Overdrive track]] from 2-2 of ''Ninja Gaiden II'' is awesome enough to get its own modern remixes.
12%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXJCWNeRkMQ Act 4-2's BGM]] from the third NES game.
13%%* A lesser-known example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEpzeqewOOE Act 4-1/6-2's BGM]] from the second NES game.
14%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmS80HRjrks Chaosium Sword (Intro Theme)]] from the second NES game, Dark Sword of Chaos.
15%%* The rather sad tune [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcb-SB5lAxE Tragic Fate (Act 6-4's BGM)]] in the first NES game.
16%%* All three games have a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUaLw5qqOHE great]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24826qF04tw boss]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYCJFQc0mFg theme]].
17%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAoC6Oja8FE The Parasprinter (Act 3-2's BGM)]] from the second NES game.
18* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2TQgdK1Sq8 Act 1-1's BGM]] from the third NES game. Maybe the catchiest theme in the whole NES library, and one of the best.
19* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRpcMlFYjZg The first game's Act 1 theme]]. As soon as you pressed Start, you knew you were in for something special.
20* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edysejVcK80 The second game's Act 1 theme]]. The NES Trilogy really knows how to get you pumped right from the start.
21* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP_D_YKnwi0 Ryu's Determination (Act 4-2's BGM)]] from the first NES game has been unanimously considered the ''de facto'' theme of the whole series, capturing the fast-paced thrill and action that the game embodies. Enough that in ''[[VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi Musou Orochi 3]]'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jaIUlz-wNU it gets an awesome remix to represent Hayabusa.]]

23!!Next gen VideoGame/NinjaGaiden
24%%* The three games' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBU_9gTyjcg Main]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw8RNa0lzvQ Themes]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdUCv_lpOEs of course]].
25* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFRCdfIGVvg Alma Awakened]] has an appropriate enough atmosphere for [[ThatOneBoss said boss]].
26%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cel-V-i4ZIM Emperor]], another of the first game's iconic themes.
27* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg2hpFS2y_E Pray to God]] has a melancholic tone and a very appropriate title, considering that you hear it just before fighting Alma...
28* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qqhINcoDwM Tairon at Night]] is appropriately atmospheric and very cyberpunk-esque.
29%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QF2aIICuGc Around the World]], from ''Ninja Gaiden II''.
30* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnyTzIBrS5s Sense of Mission]], the music for Ayane's stage in ''Sigma 2''. Surprisingly epic!
31* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-BE4yIDzKE Fuga]] serves as Momiji's {{Leitmotif}}. The use of traditional Japanese instruments in the background notes gives it a special flavor.
32* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nroDHc48w3E Arachnoid]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgc2ZzOqlnk A Masked Curse]] are epic for first-level boss themes.
33* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZhzQqyjYP0 Rush]], damn effective for getting you into the action instantly.
34%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ConVupkb0R0 She]], accompanying [=NG3=]'s final boss fight.
