Mario and friends all gain yet another fursona and also there's some really good music playing the whole time
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 5
Day 5 - Hub world or overworld music
Sailing With The Coffee Pirates - Wandersong
Wandersong is one of my favourite games and this bit where you're guiding a ship around the ocean with your song is particularly memorable to me
whenever you move the ship the sound of everyone aboard singing along with the music is dynamically played (as heard about halfway through the linked song)
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 6
Day 6 - Music that makes you feel relaxed
By the Wall - Machinarium
Machinarium has such a great art direction all around and this track in particular makes me sink into my chair immediately
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 7
Day 7 - Music from an indie game
First Steps - Celeste
Celeste is excellent and difficult and my hands exploded for a little bit right after putting the controller down when i finished the main story but it was worth it
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 8
Day 8 - Music from a shooter (first or third person)
Heretic, Hero - Halo 2
Halo is a series that i've recently remembered how much fun and wonder i had playing the first three games

30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 9
Day 9 - Music from a licensed game
Theme From Battery - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Chaos Theory has such a good soundtrack that it was released two months before the game itself was

Lonely Rolling Star - Katamari Damacy
Katamari Damacy is totally a puzzle game, right?
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 12
Day 12 - Music that makes you feel sad
Dirtmouth - Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight has one of my favourite world atmospheres in any game i've ever played and the soundtrack is such a big part of that
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 13
Day 13 - Music you like from a game you don't like
Lights, Camera, Action! (Studiopolis Zone Act 1) - Sonic Mania
Sonic is a series that i appreciate the style of but the gameplay just doesn't work for me in a fun enough way
anyway all of the music in Sonic Mania is great and i think this one is my favourite track
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 14
Day 14 - Music featuring vocals
Inside - Sayonara Wild Hearts
Sayonara Wild Hearts is one of the best games i've ever experienced and i wasn't even the one playing it
had a hard time picking which track from it too because they're all so good
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 15
Day 15 - Boss battle music
Metalmancy (Death Metal Remix) - Crypt of the Necrodancer: The Synthwave Cuts
Crypt of the Necrodancer makes me type in a rhythm for a while after i play it
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 16
Day 16 - 16-Bit music
Title Screen - Time Trax (Mega Drive/Genesis)
Tim Follin did the soundtrack for the Mega Drive version of the game and it's a shame that it was never officially released at the time
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 17
Day 17 - Music you never get tired of
The Shard (Puzzle) - Mirror's Edge
Mirror's Edge is one of the few games that i've replayed all the way through more than once and the part with this track in particular is where i'd stop to just listen for a while
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 18
Day 18 - Music in a game released in the year you were born
The Imp's Song - Doom (1993)
"Don't interrupt me."
– Bill Gates
anyway this song slaps
30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 19
Day 19 - Cover of music by a different artist
Like a Dream - Alex Roe (Majula - Dark Souls 2)
Majula was originally going to be for a different day but i was having trouble coming up with something for this one until i remembered this
it's more remix rather than a straight cover but i say it still counts

30 Day Video Game Music Challenge day 24
