Top 100 video game music: Donkey Kong FInal Mix #5

[Plebellox]

Simply amazing!

[Timpower]

The first song almost make me sad. Its soo much nostalgia and the tunes are just so friggin azum. Beats all 100man orchestras in modern games any day =)

Love <3

[3EXH]

Bramble Blast for the win!

[01103]

gr8 taste in music

[Marioshi64]

Flight of the Zingers all the way!

[SuperZwegat]

its the best

[Bananinasdasd]

flight of the zinger one of the best piece of music

[tatonkaa]

I seriously LOVE this song with all my heart!! Playing this video game was the first event in my life that provoked me to stay up all night. These midi artist were freaking musical geniuses. Considering what they had to work with and the end result. For the rest of my life these memorable tunes will be burned into my brain. Final Fantasy 3, Chrono Trigger, Mario RPG and shining force are some of my personal favorites.

[thelegendofbebe1]

This song brings back old memeories...

[link000000]

6 people suck balls..

[BlackHeart8452]

I remember the first time I beat DK country.

"Oh, hey. This music is pretty good. Oh, look, it's the island in the background! Cool! And hey, lo- OH MY GOD CHECK OUT THIS FAT BASTARD!!!"

[TheVideoGameMan123]

NO HOT HEAD BOP!!!! WHAT DAH FU-BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

[xSayPleasex]

Wow that high note on the melody of the second/third song is ridiculously awsome hits right on the emotion button in my heart and almost brings tears to my eyes <3

[jokerman693]

i was born after these classic games were outdated and n64 JUST came out...... but we were too poor so i grew up playing the snes and genises. thank god for that cos these games are legendary. i downloaded all them now :D

[aggames]

The only bad thing about listen to this... is the nostalgic that i feel seeing myself as a kid again on my mind... damn Life is too short!

[DrDrystal]

@aggames

life is way to short..still we have our memories, but..yeah..*sigh* great memories for a great time for games..atleast DKCR does its predesessors justice a bit.

[Mithras1990Revived]

@DrDrystal A little bit lol

[setch05]

YESS YESS YESSSSSS!!!! Ooops i just jizz'd a little lol

[duedum55]

"Sniff" So...many...memories..."Sniff"

[Nutriment6464]

Listening to these songs makes me SERIOUSLY feel like today's games suck...

[CattleStunner]

To grow up with the Donkey Kong Country Series. Who could ever ask for better games to be nostalgic over?

[deLippi]

Damn, Flight of the Zingers....what a great song was that...it just matched the level so perfectly!

[Gontrand00]

King K Rool song is EPIC. You have a beautiful music, and a beautiful background with DK Island in the back. 10/10

[ragnaroktomorro]

this music is so chill. There should be an entire soundtrack dedicated to the bramble levels.

[ExperiencedGamigVids]

Stickerbrush symphony is SO beautiful <3

Also i like to say:

Music in games really count, if youthink about Zelda (all of them but i take for example Major's Mask) you play a temple or something WITHOUT music it would suck! Iam happy i grew up with these games! Also Stone Tower temple, no wait ALL the songs of: Zelda, Donkey Kong, Mario, F-Zero, etc. are the ones who need to be in the history books! Newer games can't top the music...

[lynchjuk]

i'm glad i played 80% of the greatest games ever made. Between me and my brother we had nearly all the consoles up to now. Donkey Kong Country is awesome.

[ragnaroktomorro]

heck yes. I want to break out my snes and play this right now.

[ragnaroktomorro]

heck yes.

[rammice]

They really don't make games (or music) like they used to, although FF music is good.

[TheVideoGameMan123]

My God, when I listen to this I dream that I'm floating in the air, and then I suddenly think of my past, present, and future. It just shows have beautiful something can be in the world. Thank you Rare.

[triforceofdinner]

@TheVideoGameMan123 omg i know what u mean. i cant go no where without thinking about the 90's playing this game-the blue sky (the bramble lvl's) beaches and the ocean(the first level) admusement parks @ night (obusly the rollercoaster levels) and best of all the music- i cry every time i hear any DKC2 game song- it meant that much 2 me- im glad someone else feels the way i do(*~*) cry face

[lalo6437]

it's called "Stickerbrush Symphony"

[SSBBplayerD]

Nintendo plz i beg of you make some more donkey kong games!!!

[awhoergek]

@SSBBplayerD It's not Nintendo who made this beatiful game(s). It's Rareware. And the money Giant Microsoft bought out Rareware (and partly because the old Rareware team fell apart). So better accept that you will never see such beautiful games anymore :(

[causedthefire]

@awhoergek But NIntendo owns Donkey Kong, so if they wanted to, they can.

[awhoergek]

@causedthefire no offense, but you don't get my point i'm afraid.

[causedthefire]

@awhoergek a New Donkey Kong Country was just announced at E3.

[gurl0411]

donkey kong has some of the best game music that just stays in your mind

[JCKH2]

#1 and #4 are awesome!

[LusseLasse]

Is there any simmilar music like this? love this so much

[terrybroadway]

haha! those fancy 3D sprites :]

[N33dM04rM3t4l]

Made me tear

[aguering]

nice to see DK so well placed in your list. A well deserved recognition. Thanks.

[Unknow23]

This son's just great, and i don't even play the game lol

[cruzazulfan95]

ESTE SONIDO SALE EN SSBB!

[piromaniac9999]

WOOT

this is in fact probably my favorite piece.

Is it me? or do you guys find donkey kong songs somewhat relaxing?

[halareis]

it is

it´s kinda "soft" i dunno if you get me xD

[TheGuyBehindThePC]

soo wonderful

5*

[clorion]

The fact that I remember all those scenes and music is one more confrontation with my age.

[srvrocks19]

Great stuff...everyone has their favorite games from way back and the music always brings you back to a more simple, enjoyable time that we can never experience again...just remember forever.

My most memorable music comes from earthbound,super mario world, mario 64, mario rpg, star fox 64, ocarina of time,goldeneye,donkey kong country, etc.

[Demanga]

Great choices.

[torbjornhallberg]

wow. thats really beautiful putted srvrocks19.

[triforceofdinner]

@srvrocks19 i know right cryface (*~*)

[nor86]

gangplank galleon is my ringtone :P

[Bloodydane]

DKC 2 was such a great great GREAT game! :D

[lelangir]

4:59 quite possibly the fucking coolest drum fill ever.

[perereca]

its just hard too pick up a best game and a best sound track, but if i have to pick up just one it would be DK2... just a lost magic, theres no upgrade in games that can take away the beauty from the golden era!

[robertbaldie7]

If Stickerbrush Symphony isn't the best video game tune ever made, then I don't know what is, JUST LISTEN TO IT! Amazingly beautiful, nearly brings a tear to your eye, not only because of how epic it is, but also from the fact that it stirs such nostalgia inside of me. Love it.

[phili30]

i COMPLETELY agree with you.. the nostalgia it brings... the good old days of gaming... *sigh*

[DouglasEdward84]

I love playing these games still for this epic music, somtimes I just pause a level and soak up the soundtrack

[Arcadium2000]

This vid scores a 10.0 on the Awsome Meter!

[masterlinkx101]

The intro to Gangplank Galleon is so damn cool. Why couldn't they make a song just out of the intro? Would've been win in my books. Still pretty sweet though.

[EyeWatchMovies]

they did. the first level in dkc2 has a remixed version

[JDilla2812]

so happy i grew up with these games, cant imagine people who are 7 in this game generation, not that its terrible, but it just isnt the same

[snackattack8]

I know, I feel blessed. We grew up with this awesomness, they get carnival games...

[ELMiguelitos]

yea same wit cartoons yo i remeber batman spider man etc n transformers/beast wars yo i saw my nephews cartoona they made spiderman mad shiity and jus killed transformers n wit games lol they born to amazin graphics

[RofloI3east]

yeah, they don't even have anything new to look foreward to with new games!

Cos they'vepretty much done everything now... and the graphics can't get much better.

Most cartoons are also shit now ^^

[Shmiddler]

Beast Wars was the best show in existence... next to the first season of digimon. How I miss being 7

[tourettesguy169]

@JDilla2812 yeah like when a kid comes up to you and goes "OMG HALO # IS THE BEST GAME EVER!!!" then your like " No Donkey kong, mario, Metroid, and legend of zelda and other nitendo games are the best games ever." then the kid is like "WTF is nitendo?"

[triforceofdinner]

@JDilla2812 we r the lucky generation and no one will eva understand us but of our own kind

[wolfflow123]

i love how cranky always criticizes dk

[itsameluigi1]

I remember beating King K Rule...I felt like i could take on the world!!

[UncensoredRhett]

then Kranky says he could have done it in an Hour just to make you feel like crap lol.

[nickdanger12345]

Bramble Blast is one of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite games. :P DKC2 has one of the BEST soundtracks ever, hands down.

[RaffoPhantom]

Old music beats today's(of course today there is also good music,but generally the sounds from ancient times are the best,we see it at DK,Mother and SMW for example)

[diablospitt41]

Yes! I <3 donkey kong country, all of this music brings back memories.

[mamorunda]

the first song is the music that more marks my childhood

[Yakibomb]

Same here...

[monkeypoo2]

indeed

[LusseLasse]

LOVE the sound of the kick!

[dbzelda123]

donkey kong theme is the best donkey kong theme ever :P

[redbulloverdose]

Oh god, stickerbrush symphony brings back some damn good memories... gonna dust off DKC2 now

[BanjoGeek]

I personally think Aquatic Ambience is better then the DK theme, but the theme is still good.

[monkeypoo2]

It can make me emotional

[Paffphinder1989]

My favorite video game! DKC2 I have played it consistently for years. The game is fun, the music is awesome, and i still play it more than any xbox or gamecube games.

[ledawg1138]

How would think a game series about a bananna seeking ape could have such great music.

[MetalSonic978]

Cuz it's nintendo. FUCKING AWESOME!

[imooumoo4]

I am so glad that DK made it this far because by god this is the most memorable and my personal favorite soundtrack ever. They really need a new DK game after listening to this...

[Skatezofre]

Thank you! I have loved Stickerbush symphony ever since I heard it the first time on Donkey Kong Land 2 on the original gameboy. So thank you for recognising this great song

[confaffalator]

I love these two games, they'll always remain special to me. Especially these songs, but i would've thought Forest Interlude would have been here, but anyway, that Dave WIse is an F-ing genius musician. He should make a comeback

[orochimaruisugly]

LOLOLOLOL BANANAS

[OhioState48]

Donkey Kong on the snes. Some of the best years of my childhood.

[wwwaldo333]

God, the Gangplank Galleon is so intense.

[DarkMage4230]

Donkey Kong Country...one of the best platform series ever created. This shows the amazing combo of Rare and Nintendo.

[Hennethelord]

i'm not sure..but what abpout rattle battle..is it in this game too..or was it in another?

but still..good mix...LOVE the stickerbrush symphonie

[SoraXKokiri]

yeah, but rattle' battle's actually kind of a remix of gangplank galleon, but yreah rattle battle's way better C:

[Gilgamoosh]

Should've had the Monkey Rap one.

[AgentCDI]

dude, that's from DK 64

[H3llian667]

COME ON CRANKY, TAKE IT TO THE FRIDGE xD

[BassicMario]

I would like to add Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Kannon's Klaim / Windy Valley

to the mix, awsome song too.

[shawnoosept]

and the mine music 2

[hulksmash777]

dude the brawl version totally did this song justice, although the first one is still pretty sick

[iwannafreakwichu]

you're missing web woods, the best dkc2 song

[KarateKidX]

I'm disappointed that the Gangplank Galleon music had to share, but at least it's there i guess.

[Bilrawks]

I totally agree. Most catchy video game tune of all time, bar none. Saria's song is good, the mario theme is fine, but nothing beats Gangplank Galleon in terms of plain ol' awesome.

[shawnoosept]

totaly true and i aproove

[kpbilal]

why isnt the theme of battlefield 1942 not in this list --> outside that great list

[stinkenstein]

port of adia, turok 2.  one of the best vg songs ever.

[NightStalkor]

agreed. should be in top 3.

[UltsFTW]

I missed Hell March from Red Alert :\ but a great list, can't wait too see the last 4 ^^

[zarki145]

Will we see top 4 soon? It's been 20 days now since you posted this one :<

[Florin199221]

[OhmygodSportacus]

I love stickerbrush symphony

[VenetianSnare]

Can't wait to see top 4

[okness123]

i would have liked to see tree top town theme some where on this list

its my favortie dkc song along with some others not to mention the level is great to

[Vindicator18]

So, when are we going to get the final 4? I can't wait!

[obeseT33N]

Dude, you forgot "Forest Interlude" from Donkey Kong Country 2. That song is amazing!

[Hazard590]

you ever hear of metal storm it has some great tunes

[quixizous]

For the love of everything that's holy, when's the top four coming out???

[89ofyear]

some of true music gems were forgoten, like space federation aka star reach and master of orion II

[drwt03]

Level 2 & its music is my absolute favourite of the series.

The one on the ship where it's raining.

[mrbrndn15]

The music of this game always brings me back to my elementary school days in which I played this game from 3-4 hrs a day.

[dideldidudadada]

maybe spellforce in top 4^^

[zarki145]

I love DKC2 music, truly deserves to be in top 5. I would even consider to but it higher than what you did. ;)

[xXSoulBlazerXx]

Stickerbush Symphony. nice.

[PhantomSnakeZero]

I await the four best. Though I do hope to see Wily's Stage 1 from MM2 in the mix.

[incsuch311]

Stickerbrush symphony not number 1 :( that song is amazing.. this is a good position but still!! I'm excited to see the top 4

[Carlitonsp1]

Stickerbrush symphony made it difficult for me to complete the levels because it made me too relaxed, I'm actually getting sleepier as I'm writing this comment.

[neutralcartman2]

i love this game so much

[antospad14]

There is something so nostalgic about this game...

[Stevintage]

word up. you are so right. everytime i hear the music...gosh i start thinking about the old days!

[AJashaman]

hehe so true.

i still remember the day when my dad bought me donkey kong for my bday. was so happy i opened it upl and played it until i was told to go to sleep lol.

[mrbrndn15]

describes spot on what i was feeling.

[BassExeOmega]

ah the memories, good music, good game 5/5

[Lakitu99]

Bramble Scramble - This song is an instantaneous flashback. Like a past pill, a musical time machine. Is just beautiful and so filled with memories!

[Primalinstincts101]

Donkey Kong Country 2 had the best music of the three in the series!!!!!

[chisfife]

ah music from my fav dkc game, brings back good memories

[codythegreat21]

Ahh, good memories that had been buried deep and forgotten about long ago. Now refreshed by this music : ) I was very young when I played this game, I fell like I am there again, weird.

[Xyless]

EXCELLENT choice!

[TheDarkLeoplurodon]
