Top 100 video game music: Dr.Wily's Castle from Megaman 2 # 4

[OfficialSonicFanboy]

Captain Falcon is in the background!

SHOW ME YA MOVES!

[KaizerSozak2008]

OH YEAH!! THE BEST NES TUNE! SO AMAZING!!!! LOVE IT!!

[TheAquafunk]

i love how the us mega man (1-thru like 5 or 6 and then 9 and 10) covers all portray mega man as like this intense action hero :)

[PonyturdFly]

I love the With Lyrics version of this. Although it can't capture the 8-bit glory.

[dss103]

OH shit have you guys heard that CRAZY ASS REMIX some dude did on youtube with this song and Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2?!?!? EPIC SEXY MODE, ENGAGE!!!

[FoxyWolfProductionz]

I have this as my ringtone (except it is the rendition of it found in the Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga)

[EDW1916]

Just because its a NES game, doesn't mean its music sucks!

[Theycamefrombehind11]

I was playing IWBTG and during the escape scene after killin motherbrain this came on instead of the right song, most epicescape music ever!

[lobo8610]

good theme 

[MtelH]

It's nice to see that Megaman got this high on this list.

[gregjs81]

um why is megaman holding a pistol like some glorified beat cop?

[FriarLawrence3]

wow, this is way faster than the european version of the song!

[setch05]

Probably the best video game album ever, even 20 years later games can't beat it.

[WilloPR]

It's called "Megaman" not "Megaboy" and they wanted society to get the message thus creating an old dude that looks like a member of Blueman Group.

[xXRawrRichRawrXx]

best megaman music: From megaman X :D

[ssmimess]

Megaman 2 EVERY damn song is good - its outstanding how good this album is.

[MichaelCox]

@ssmimess

You think that's good, you should check out the Dangerous Mizashi cat remixes!

Especially Quickman and Woodman.

[DemonicNese]

tamagatchi (one for the gameboy) has a similar song to this... but this version kicks way more ass :D

[birdengames]

That is the worst Mega Man cover art ever. But with things considered it was back in the 80's/90's and this is prolly the Japanese version, it still does make Mega Man look old and fat. What a great song though - sucks it just drops off at the end and doesnt finish

[OrinjFlames24]

@birdengames the japanese box cover was WAY better than this. Nintendo of America just wanted to screw with us.

[Master116155]

I am Megaman, hears my mega plan, YOU DIE!

[guy4011]

pure 8 bit style greatness

[KingdomHeartz93]

@guy4011

isn't it 16 O_O

[CyreiShadowrage]

Easily one of the best NES themes ever. Possibly THE best, even better than the original Zelda theme!

[nikkurasu]

this has an epic final level music feel to it

[ragnaroktomorro]

i never understood why the cover arts used a different animation style than in-game for awhile. I would guess they were trying to appeal to a wider audience or something but w/e.

[Skankindragon1]

1st nintendo game i owned.. memories..

[neclord87]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH­AH why does he have a gun in the cover HE HAS A MF ARM CANNON

[twallace905]

haha this is on i wanna be the guy too :P

[DustMan2704]

timeless classic

[cheapmovies9P]

We choose to go to, we choose go to the moon; moon,moon,moon, in this decade...

[OneTrueBelmont]

The first time I ever heard this song was when brentalfloss covered it so I can't listen to it without hearing the words... XD

"I am Mega Man, here's my Mega plan: YOU DIE!"

[ignacio3431]

All songs in this video game are very good.

[justmymage]

when i had my nes i did not care that nes had mono sound cabapilities, this song still kicks ass big time and it always will.

[GlennShook]

MegaMan was the shit! I only remember that I loved them. But I can't remember nothing about it.

[sasquatch121]

Megaman, I mean, the megaman games, not the megaman X games....only the megaman on nes are the greatest challenge ever on any video game...thanks for such great music to keep us playing!

[sasquatch121]

greatest cover of all time! :O

[thesixthhokage98889]

that cover is crap cause its nothing like megaman

[DariakFrostmourne]

This song has a motif in it that I've heard repeated in many other Mega Man themes, even in later games. Either the songs have a similar structure, or they play with a similar note progression within the song. It is a defining song for the series, like Super Mario Bros. Overworld or Stones from Ultima.

[Luigi84289]

This music Deifies Megaman. He is like a God in this game. With just his normal buster he dismantles everybody.

[Lilgo0b3r]

wtf....

[ricardoCD]

lol megaman looks like a fat lady in that picture!!

[AgentOrange502]

@ricardoCD lmao!!!!

[Quelthias]

Best videogame song ever

(Take that Zelda)

[Poisonnachos]

This proves to never judge a game by it's cover lol.

[iancant]

@Poisonnachos HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH­AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA­HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA­HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH­HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA­HHAHAHAHAH and i probably would use the other 218 caracters but im too lazy right now :c

[darkram13]

Thankfully, someone else agrees that THIS is the best Mega Man 2 track.

I was getting sick of all the Flash Man remixes. Seriously

[Camposkpo]

well, but if you look around you'll find a lot of person that likes this one, and this is my favorite too xD

[Luigi84289]

@Camposkpo Having two difficulties helps curb the frustration factor.

[Camposkpo]

you may be right lol.... but somehow is just pychological.... cause the hard mode still very easy... if you look in my channel you'll find an attempt of "let's play" megaman 2 .... i didn't upload the last part because I had troubles with the video file, but I'll make it again soon...

[Zerusuke]

Indeed, getting through all the robomasters' stages and listening this music, you know it's going down!

I get excited with this track.

[nor86]

gotta run gotta run now

and spryly

gotta climb gotta climb now

way up highly

gonna get gonna get you

doctor wily

I am megaman, here's my megaman

YOU DIE!!!

[cli1ck]

lmfao. yes! brentalfloss for prez!

[Camposkpo]

here's my mega plan xD

(I eat mega FLAN xDDDD)

[OneTrueBelmont]

@Camposkpo But why?

[Camposkpo]

@OneTrueBelmont  Sorry I can't remember ... "But why?" what? o.o

[OneTrueBelmont]

@Camposkpo "I am Mega man and I eat mega flan, but why?" XD

[Camposkpo]

@OneTrueBelmont oh that's a brentalfloss funny video called "what if megaman 2 song had lyrics?" look for it xD

[nor86]

Ah, I misspelled mega plan there... FUUUUUUUUUUU-

[StarProOwnz2009]

awesome the old megaman2 game :'D but the music fits in "i wanna be the guy" more

[Camposkpo]

Anyway "I wanna be the guy" came after this one so... the music in "I wanna be the guy" is the copy, not this one o.o

[StarProOwnz2009]

i know

[George91280]

The 8-Bit era was just flat out the best era for Video Game music. PERIOD!

[mrtortfeasor33]

This song truly is the apex of 8-bit music. Doesn't get any better. The opening theme to this was awesome too.

[snackattack8]

I'll never understand why the boxart for Megaman 2 had to be so ridiculous! I mean, Quick man looks like Captain Falcon! Anyway, this is my favorite videogame song of all time, I'm glad it made it so high up on hte list!

[NintendoGamer1124]

Never judge a game by its cover, eh?

[catbuffalo]

this reminds me of wicked child from castlevania

[ultradinosaur123]

when i got to this level, i stood there for like, an hour to listen to this song.

[dearestjen]

I'm not really a megaman fan but they played this on my school's morning announcment's at school and I was like I have to find this song!!!!!

[sadwhiteraven]

Hah. I've never played a single megaman game, and even -I - recognize this song. Good stuff.

[Shendue]

Me too.

It's so famous it has been probably repeated and remixed hundreds of times.

Brilliant song.

[OGAMIS]

Brilliant. At least you've got one song where it deservs to be. How can you put dedede's theme so far back? Where is the original SMB tune? Why are there no pokemon tunes in this? You have missed so many clasics and brilliant songs, and I don't much like the sound of many that you've included. I have to turn them off after about 30 seconds. If a tune is on the 100 greatest list, you should want to hear it again and again. It should fill you with memories and dreams of distant gaming levels.

[KingdomHeartz93]

all true but:

"It should fill you with memories and dreams of distant gaming levels."

it does - but only to him.

think b4 posting

[ultradinosaur123]

I agree that King dedede's theme shouldnt be put that far back.

[Landonio1]

Classic.

[ElrondHubbard54]

the only one that even comes close to this is the wily stage 1 them from mega man 9.

this, however, is the best of the best when it comes to mega man music.

[Demonicpharaoh]

iwannabetheguy had this music aswell

[Kingofeurope]

Gotta run, gotta run now

Gotta run now, and spryly!

Gotta climb gotta climb now

Way up highly!

[GrandTourGoku]

gotta get that get that dr wily

i am megaman heres my mega plan YOU DIE

[XmasterlinkxX]

the best song on the nes!!!

[fahimh]

how come no mega man x songs in this list?

[truepridejb]

because next to megaman 2, megaman x sucks balls

[PhantomSnakeZero]

Wily's Stages 1 or 2 from Megaman 9, or Ninja Gaiden 4-2, are my predictions for #1.

[CutManRules]

I hate this theme

[RockFlugenm]

best music of vg

[DarkMar1ne]

lol policeman shooting robot masters = FAIL

megaman shoot robot masters = SUCCESS

[SporkinatorMan]

OH NOES! ITS The... Retarded Policeman?

[NeoBattle5]

YES

[dbzelda123]

im just clad that you are not like everyone else and

you didn´t put this number 1. this is great but still not the best :P

[housetrancformer]

the mega man series gave birth to a lot of gems, this is definately one of them

[ledawg1138]

Oh man...8 bit gasm!

[wilyvsrockman]

best song ever !! i agree.. ( it could be higher but 4th is really good for that song)

[Blazer5001]

lmao i couldnt help but notice the cover for mega man 2 :P mega man looks gay there :P

but good choice in music! I still dont know how corneria is only #96 >.>

[patrick9555]

I could fap to this tune easier than I could a naked girl.

[HumanTarget420]

You have to understand this is opinionated. Not much you can do about it but make your own.

[talesfreak1432]

i completely agree with you

[ghaleonx128]

weirner schnittzel pow pow pow pow, whizz-eeeeee bam bam bam baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm­!

Go GO POWER RANGERS

[NerdilyDone]

*rocks out*

Okkusenman!!!!

[richter15]

megaman x2 vs zero is a good song too

[shawnoosept]

on all 100 they cannot all enter  there is at least more than 10000 video game music

[patrick9555]

Unparalleled win.

[Salnax]

Well you smell silly

[someonethere1122]

That just made my day Salnax

[Salnax]

Thanks

[BluBoulzor]

Okkusenman!

[pianomaster24]

Good grief people, why all the *bleep*ing hate? (Ahaha)

All things considered, this is a fantastic piece. It uses the fullest capabilities of the tech it has. It does everything it needs to. Seriously, just because a song is newer means nothing. And this whole list is just the opinion of one person.

[brazilianmenace]

Nice to see this track so high on your list.

And as for the people complainging...would your list be different? Yes. Would my list be different? Damn straight. Is it my list? No. Is it your list? No. If you don't like it, do what joeicatrivante suggests and make your own top 100 and problem solved

[lacrosseguy556]

-8? what the fuck lol...u didnt say anything that bad.

[BedRelt]

OMG its the infamous epic fail box art!

[joeicatrivante]

People, stop complaining and make your own top 100!

[Deathbreak911]

I think Dearly Beloved (one of their only great songs) was on here somewhere.

[Lunarvx22]

That's not video game music. That's an orchestrated soundtrack.

BIG DIFFERENCE

[Deathbreak911]

But it was featured in Kingdom Hearts... doesn't that make it video game music?

[Lunarvx22]

Wow jesus christ not even at all.

[TheVulcon]

I have to agree it doesn't even deserve to be in the top 50. Or maybe 100...

[rjbonkow]

seriously it's funny what people will gush about these days.

but i mean cmon 1wingangel is good but it isn't the end-all-be-all

[KingdomHeartz93]

correct

(thats ctrigger)

[DecemberFl0wer]

Have you ever heard O2 from Kirby64, if not you schould really listen to it before making the final 3#

[K7E7I]

THANK YOU!!! I was waiting for this song since the beginning!

[spektrum1983]

I've been listening through #100 to #4, you missed alot of games that had some good music. Like Diddy Kong Racing, Secret of Evermore, lots of C64 games, Giana Sisters, Turrican, etc... Can't think of more right now.

[guitarguy42394]

dude. seriously? this list had potential, but instead you drowned it in final fantasy and chrono trigger songs, while only a few of the true classics are in there. fantastic job, I can't wait for the remaining videos, but i'm simply saying that the list could have benefited from more research time. for instance, i fail to see the classic Doom E1M1, or even the mortal kombat theme could be stuck in there. i guess if you're going for your personal favorites, and not classics, then i'm not judging.

[toolate4567]

but the final fantasy songs absolutely deserve to be placed high on the chart. they really are far ahead of most video game music out there. Final fantasy 6 especially should easily get half of the top 20.

[TraeThaTruth]

There's a lot of good game music out there but Chrono Cross kicks pretty much any game's ass.

[KingdomHeartz93]

not tru

it cant touch Chrono Trigger

which is acclaimed as the best soundtrack of any game

and 2nd highest rated rpg'

23rd highest ranked game ever.

so too bad

[TraeThaTruth]

Lol, so who's this "ranking authority?" Anyone who knows about musical composition will tell you that Chrono Cross has a better soundtrack. CT is awesome, and I even like the game more than CC, but the soundtrack is worse for sure.

[KingdomHeartz93]

lmao

no "ranking authority"

being acclaimed as sumthing as a game

just means that a lotta pple/sites agree on sumthing about a game

check most BIG gaming websites - ct always dominates these kinda things

ie) gamefaqs

*CTRIGGER = Best Game Ever*

[TraeThaTruth]

That's because they're stuck in the past. CT is a great game, but they all can't think with their own head and just go along with the crowd.

[TheVulcon]

Join the bandwagon, will yah? Maybe you should think for yourself sometimes...

[faltzar2]

Wait, WTF?

[AJashaman]

what you consider "classics" are effectively just your favourite songs. There are no classics. Classics are made classics by how much ppl like them and for him, these songs ARE classic.

[kaktuzz]

i did see this coming

[highflyer011]

Just got done beating this game last night, and this Wily stage 1/2 theme is incredible! I also really like Metal Man's stage music too.

When you get done making your list, do you think you could put them in order so they would be easier to look through.

[GTSRBOY]

I agree with you on Dire dire docks, that song is amazing.  Is it on this list?

[truckie132]

What I think:

#3: Leon's theme (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)

#2: Megaman 3 Intro

#1: Dire Dire Docks (Super Mario 64)

Please please please put Dire Dire Docks within your top 3. That track means a lot to me.

[monster25man]

hey, Alvin-Earthworm used this music

[ivankaiser]

answome music !!!!

But i think you can't do a top 100 with out song like king of fighters song

[rihopoking]

Is it just me, or does most box art from the NES days suck ! This box art sucks! I remember the first time I saw it, I started cracking up! LOL. But yea, this little song was stuck in my head for a long time when I played this game.

[pjds88]

Maybe so, but the first Mega Man's box art is ten times worse if you can even imagine that.

[broadbandmink]

Certainly brings back memories. I probably spent weeks trying to get past this level. Think I was 8 - 9 years old at the time..

[craigybaby007uk]

100 is not enough soo many themes not on here no mk music etc acid pool from mk 2 :( no mario themes from nes n snes no mario kart music i loved the rainbow road on mario kart 64

[Fredrik1ST]

Man, that's the most nostalgic theme ever!

Rainbow Road FTW!

[superdragon4ever]

to nicely correct you its 16 bit

[antospad14]

The original mario kart was on the Super Nintendo which is a 16bit console, so it wasn't really 8bit music.

[craigybaby007uk]

omgggg no sign of the boss's theme when she dies on mgs 3! that was epic!

[ForFriProductions]

...BEST THEME EVER!! I like to play willy's stage just so I can hear this masterpiece

[Crimsonz789543]

same here !!! XD

[Hazard590]

crap meant to say robo's theme but I typed that other one by accident

[Hazard590]

1.Chrono Trigger - To Far Away Times

[justsumdude899]

Moon will be in top three.

[NIMPAK1]

i love megaman's gun

[superdragon4ever]

Finally we have # 4. Cant wait for the top 3

[TheResock]

3. Duck Tales - Moon

2. Super Mario Theme

1. Chrono Trigger - To Far Away Times

You also forgot alot of classics from the earlier final fantasy games and super mario.

[GuyWithVGSoundtracks]

Super mario theme is so overrated

[samusarmada]

*dreamy smile"

wonderful....

[yingtone]

MY GOD this music haunts me after IWBTG.

But it's still catchy.

[deathmetalguy2]

lol yea, the music was the only thing that kept me from quitting completely

[Chook1212]

FUCK YES THANK GOD :D

[incsuch311]

pretty great.

[plethorashit]

Japan always has the best box arts. Rockman 2 FTW.

[lardeater244]

theres has to be the moon in 3,2,1 and mario 2 ending. and i cant think of the other one.

[LoZ12001]

i cant not think of Okkusenman and brentalfloss' songs whenever i hear this

[MartyPotatoes]

I think we all have to sing either one or both of them

Megaman 2 FTW

[OhmygodSportacus]

Truely kick ass music,

[NintenDude200]

My favorite Mega Man song of all time. Although, Mega Man 3 had a GREAT soundtrack.

[PKoAwesome]

Did Ducktales moon get uploaded yet?

[QuackImaCow]

SWEEET

this song is so catchy !

[CheetosShock]

if this is 4 then i wonder what 3 2 1 will be??? can we get a hint lol
