Megalopolis: Sim City (SNES) Music

[RedToad64]

I've never gotten this far.

[MisterSG1]

Personally I like to think of this song representing metro areas with over 5,000,000 people, there are currently 54 in the world.

[vgmaster9]

@MisterSG1 Ha, I'd wanna think of a city that can house over 40 million people.

[Roswell01Area51]

You're in Tokyo, Mexico City, New York City, etc. Also when you're in a Super Bowl stadium.

[DJMC5ive]

tried so hard to get a megalopolis after reading about it in Nintendo power at the library (before internet came to my town).... never could get there

[CristaliaMi]

@CAHorne15 I never knew there even was a Megalopolis stage until recently. My mom used to play Sim City all the time when I was a kid, and I don't remember her ever getting a megalopolis.

[CAHorne15]

Thumbs up if you're here because you could never build a Megalopolis as a kid and wondered what the music sounded like... >.<

[whosmav628]

Man I never got to hear this music back in the day, never got enough people.

[mopbrothers]

@whosmav628 Me neither! I could always get to about 47000 but never quite enough!

[BadSniper210]

I could break out my snes and play this right now...but skyrim...XD

[TUMFACHIER]

I reached 700,000 ppl on Freeland with no game genie and no stack building. There were more I than R and few C.

[TheZunar123]

If they remade this for the 3DS, I've be the happiest person in the world. Heck, even a DS or GBA remake, and I'd still be happy. :)

If they do make a remake, DON'T TRY TO FIX THE GAME! The game ain't broken, so don't fix it! Just remake w/ better graphics and portability and I'll be the happiest person on planet Earth. :)

[Zestybeef]

@TheZunar123 Except they should add strip clubs as a gift.

[TheZunar123]

@Zestybeef Why?

[Zestybeef]

@TheZunar123 Because titties are awesome.

[TheZunar123]

@Zestybeef Yeah, but no. If they did, that would bump the rating up to R instead of K-A.

[TheZunar123]

This makes you feel like you've just accomplished the greatest feat ever in history.

[ThorbenTK]

Megapolis can only build on the Super Mario map :D

[TheZunar123]

@ThorbenTK WRONG! I built a Megalopolis on Map 61. I'll upload a video soon, but it is very similar to the design of Melvonia, which is also a Megaplis made on Map 61. Look on the right; it should be one of the suggestions.

[SuperDeutrano]

4 peoples don't get a megalopolis

[ScrinMan]

@SuperDeutrano I think you mean 99% of viewers don't have a megalopolis.

[kdreamland]

The first time I got to this, I had to use Game Genie cheats to get way more gifts then I should have had.

Now I realise it's because I kept trying to build a 'proper' town, (ie: all roads and rail connected), rather than just trying to exploit the game mechanincs.

But then again....I guess I was even worse for using Game genie lol.

[Gordaton]

Epic shiz.

[skykid]

I got it, but barely. There's one map that has a lot of space but just enough river to give you some high land value areas. The geography kinda reminds me of Detroit. Anyway, I barely got megalopolis, and at times it would dip below the mark, but the music stayed the same.

[oldawgnewtrikz]

Yep.. 20 years and NO megalopolis :(

[isunshin999]

This music makes me imagine someone CEO saying to me "alright sir welcome to the big table now"

[itsjeremy6]

Even using the infinite funds cheat, I couldn't get a megalopolis. I filled my entire area with stuff, but I never reached more than 3 and a quarter million. My city didn't have any taxes, what do you want from me?!

[kdreamland]

@itsjeremy6 Is it tougher to reach this on FreeVille, the map with no water?

[itsjeremy6]

Well from reading skykid's comment below, apparently water has some value in SimCity, but I don't care enough to research such advanced aspects of the game.

[mopbrothers]

I never got to this.

[JonnyJinx04]

It took me 12 long years to finally hear this in-game.

Here's a tip to anyone trying to get it. Say you're stuck at 400,000 or so and you're full up. Start replacing a few buildings with Industrial Zones, especially underdeveloped housing areas and such. I dunno why it works, but somehow it did for me.

[LFNMishi]

Yeah after 20 years i never got to a freakin megalopolis....

[Electricspaceodyssey]

@LFNMishi go online and rea some walkthrus and follow them to the letter if you have to - get one then start over and try again on your own. Its like flooring - laying the floor is no problem ; learning the technique is the real challange.

[SuperMario811]

1:24 - 2:01 THOSE CHORDS....AND THAT THAT HORN....AND THAT SMB3 RUN SOUND FX....

Even though I have just heard the Sim City soundtrack for the first time ever, two days ago, for some odd reason, that section of the song hit me so hard with nostalgia in the strangest way possible.

[rsalek]

snes music was so distinct.

[Qaddosh]

I managed to make it to Megalopolis one time when I played this years ago. My younger brother wanted to play it for awhile, so I said ok with the stipulation that he not mess with my save file. Well, lo and behold, after he was done playing, my save file was gone. I still have great memories of playing this game. They just don't make games like they used to.

[DarkRyeU]

1: 58 Did I just here the SMB3 run sound effect?!

[Graedius]

Only a true master would ever hear this song~!

[sabrejack2]

Loading a save game would cause citizens to drop like flies while the SNES caught up with the calculations, if your city was very large.

I had a saved game stuck just a few thousand people shy of megalopolis. I never did make it.

[Menevea]

I have never heard this tune before. If you do one mistake in this game it can kill the whole growth of your city forever .___.

[simcity4rocks]

3 People are crazy SOBs cause they dislike this well i dislike haters! Who hate simcity!

[Gojiramonsta505]

Now where did I put that Mario Statue?

[flightwing600]

this song really lets you know you made it...i miss songs like this,they sound so reasuring

[originaldarrkon]

I could NEVER get to this level.. what I hated about the SNES game was that as your city got bigger time slowed down and months took FOR EVAR!!

But it was an awesome game!

[OB1Cannoli87]

0:00 - 4:09

Best part

[simcity4rocks]

i just found this game i LOVE IT 40000 sims one city its on simcity 4 site simcity classic

[grantmg]

lol never heard this song = never made it that far with my city in the game!

[miniwick05]

this song just makes you feel like you completed so much...you feel like you ARE the sim city.

[Weegee905]

Getting this will take a long time.

Not with all the residents going I DEMAND POINTLESS STUFF.

[LexingtonWells]

I made a city of 800,000 once

[KaiserVadin]

Well this is the american version maybe yours was different ?

[Ragnark1]

How do you get that weird budget song that I've seen is part of this game? I've never actually heard it in-game before.

[KaiserVadin]

@Ragnark1 get Megalopolis in the game !

[Ragnark1]

I've gotten many megalopolises before, and I've still never heard this song...

[AshForte]

i'm actually in the middle of writing an orchestral arrangement of this, because i noticed no one from nintendo has done it yet, which is really a shame

[pantoja535]

can you seed it to me

[Lachlanau]

wow..keep me posted..any previews? :)

[MisterSG1]

I hooked this game up recently, and get this, here's a challenge, getting Megalopolis on scenarios.

The only ones that are possible to do it on, and the ones I've done are Detroit, Bern, and Las Vegas.

Detroit believe it or not has a lower percentage of water than Map 061, and is a similar landform. Bern is also quite low, but it's rivers make it tougher. Las Vegas, the UFO attacks, but on this empty land, it is doable.

I'm surprised about how many have not made it to Megalopolis. Good luck.

[Lachlanau]

This needs an orchestral remake for the next Sim City game for PC..would be epic

[KentuckyFriedGunman]

Some of the best music I've heard in a game.

[KaiXi333]

@ KentuckyFriedGunaman:

Your screen name is funny!!!

[MrNintendofan1985]

i like it, but the village one was much relaxing and calm.

man i guess it's because i never got that far...

[dafrandle]

@MrNintendofan1985 areson for that is the biger your city, the mor actve it gets

[kenfanelli]

I have made it this far once, otherwide i am one level below this, i always get stuck around 400k-480k people, i run out of room to build onthe map, i think i need to plan better lol

[bobolat323]

I think this is good music

But megalopolis is mad city....

Like a donut!!

[MobiusHunter]

I never made it this far in the game before, but the music is really catchy.

[tttc]

I never made it this far :(

I think my record was 360k or something.

[magicalorangutan2]

relative to the houses, that is.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

I like the opening part.

[genewildershair81]

I have never heard this in game, cos I could NEVER get a damn megalopolis.

[GameCubeVSWii]

WOw what that there more after you get to Metropolis?

[Microsoftultimatefan]

This is the only one that's after metropolis.

[GameCubeVSWii]

Thanks ^^

[AshForte]

I like how this theme revisits the first village theme when you start the game. It really shows what a long way you've come from 100 citizens!

[jjakucyk]

As much as I've listened to this song, it never dawned on me that the slow part was the village theme. That just makes me like it even more. It's a really beautiful way to top off your achievement in the game.

[Armalizilto]

Damn! Building a Megalopolis takes well determination, strategy and knowing what you're doing to create it.

[nebulaaah]

forests are for hippies!

[noxvet]

I remember I'd always have to build around the forrests...because they would never grow back -_-

That and the first time I figured out you didn't need roads, only rails, this was pre-gamefaqs mind you!

[Microsoftultimatefan]

It's just a game. Worry about that in real life.

[calegaea75432]

out of all the simcitys

i get more population on snes

most on snes 350,000

most on sc4 200,000(Med)

[Microsoftultimatefan]

I get more population out of Simcity 3,000.

[Armalizilto]

I've gotten up to 471,890+ citizens in 2087 years on map 61 before, this was accomplished by the so-called "money cheat" I've use to create that city.

[feh2]

the house I spent playing this game we're ridiculous.

I'd tie up the living room TV trying to achieve the megalopolis dream.

[BasilEvenstar]

Best city I was able to make was a few thousand shy of 800,000 people. This was on the Freeland map (no water) and without doing any zone stacking.

This Sim City game will always have a special place for me.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

You don't get water supplying structeres in this game. That makes the game easier! : )

[KentuckyFriedGunman]

This games is one of the best games on

SNES there is.

[dakarus]

never got to this at all.

[Tha1999]

@dakarus I KNOW!!!! I could never get past Metropolis! However my brother was able to with some code that gave him unlimited funds....

[Senapse]

I never got to this level to see the legendary Mario statue reward, I guess I just suck at Sim City :)

I only got 450k something inhabitants.

[LexingtonWells]

hey hey! this partly resembles secret of mana music! =)

[Armalizilto]

This sounds like a victory song, telling you have done it.

[magicalorangutan2]

johnny2071, there was a guy who built a city with over 1,000,000 citizens.

[LexingtonWells]

yea, i built a city with over 2,000,000 once

[Microsoftultimatefan]

There's a guy that had a glitch in the game where he got over 1,000,000 people.

[spsheets58]

the slow playing part that sounds almost similar to the village would bring back memories. but i didn't even exist when this game out.

[magicalorangutan2]

I got to 667,000 people once.

Its all about "stacking"..and such

[Microsoftultimatefan]

I don't like zone stacking. Especially if you want a realistic city.

[magicalorangutan2]

Each individual square, 9 of them composing one full space occupying zone, is 1/100 of a square kilometer. There are 12,000 of these in one map, total. Threfore, the map is 120 square kilometers, or about 50 square miles. You may have up to over 20,000 ppl/sq mi. if you get more than 1 mill. pop. That is actually realistic, considering N.Y.C., Tokyo and Shanghai.

Therefore stacking is in fact realistic.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Not unless if the building turns into a hi-rise building. That won't look realistic because one building will be sticking out of the builidng like if it has a bone growth or a tumer. So it wont look realistic.

[magicalorangutan2]

Yes but the buildings as shown on the city are not supposed to be to scale; they are merely representative.

The buildings are farr to big proportionately, and the power plants and airports are too small.

[Theirishnintendonerd]

nintendo`s composers sure do know how to make kick ass music for there games

[poupo32]

my city is very monster have 789500 population

[Hollywood49]

Is it me, or is this the only song on the game that isn't great? Everything from Village to Metropolis is incredible, and then this is....bleh.

[chiitedu93]

it's you, this song is freaking awesome

[wyzeguy6]

Not really my fave song out of all of them, but if you manage to hear this song in the game, you really shouldn't care. You have a friggin megalopolis!

[Microsoftultimatefan]

I like the opening part of the song. Not so much of the end part. And I'm a city person. So I don't like the village and the town one.

[Microsoftultimatefan]

I know relaxing songs that are better than the village one:

Oddworld: Abe's: Oddysee theme song.

Oddworld: Abe's: Exoddus theme song.

Oddworld: Munch's: Oddysee theme song. (Remix.)

Windows Vista remix 1 and 2.

[Johnny2071]

Is there anything past Megalopolis like maybe beating the game?

[magicalorangutan2]

johnny2071, it is impossible to "beat" the game. only to get better and better..

[Johnny2071]

I was talking about another stage or the ending credits. So nothing past Megalopolis?

[magicalorangutan2]

ohhh

no, there is nothing beyond megalopolis.

[TheConcierge15]

Well, is there "Capital"?

[magicalorangutan2]

concierge15, here are all the levels.

0-1,999 citizens, you are a "village".

2,000-9,999 citizens, you are a "town".

10,000-49,999 citizens, you are a "city".

50,000-99,999 citizens, you are a "capital".

100,000-499,999 citizens, you are a "metropolis".

500,000+, youre a "megalopolis".

So yes, there is a capital, but it's actually two levels below a "megalopolis".

[Microsoftultimatefan]

Yeah. But that's not after Megalopolis. I'll give you the list:

1. Village.

2. Town.

3. City.

4. Capital.

5. Metropolis.

6. Megalopolis.

[SniperViper1000]

@Microsoftultimatefan you forgot Cosmopolistion which is 1M+

[Microsoftultimatefan]

There's no end to the game. (You end it your-self.)

[JoelsHitShow]

I got 460,000 people. I just could never reach 500,000. Maybe it is time to try again.

[Johnny2071]

I'm still in capital or city. I haven't played in a long time.

[blakmanta]

I never got this far. This is was probably one of the hardest SimCity games.

And BTW, I had it on my original SNES, and I loved it. Also, IMHO, this SimCity has the BEST music of the ENTIRE series. They really should remix these (they didn't for SC3K or SC4, let's just hope that they will someday, as long Nintendo is OK with that).

[as97ir]

lololololololol

[XxGamer102xX]

i say snes sim city music ownz other sim city games music!!!!tw fav is metropolis i mad it to mitropolis but not this far i never knew bout this song =D

[as97ir]

where u all got this game i cant find it at any stores trere only sim city 4 deluxe only

[FCCAGut]

I got mine at a pawn shop.

[XxGamer102xX]

u can play on ure computer with an emulator just look up snes emulator on google and get snes9x its a good emulator

[Xyd91]

its better if you have a Real Snes console.

[MaxOfS2D]

Composed by Oka Soyo. She also worked on Super Mario Kart.

It explains the epicness of the piece.

[Spikeman750]

I could NEVER get this far in the game! My most populated city was like, 154,000 or something. However, that city got deleted from my game somehow...:'(

[RukiVverh12]

Highest I ever gone was 120,000 people.

[segerduder]

I never got this far either

[notyoursavior78]

Yeah I never got to a Megalopolis. It sounds like I would have imagined then.

[wdficannotchoseaname]

this feels like i'm watching a city develop in very fast fast-forwarding

[jedimastermagus]

Wow...I've never gotten this far. So this is what it sounds like. Impressive...:]

[PrimeBlue]

I love this track. It's got that "progress will never stop/humanity will continue to evolve" undertone.

[silentlamb21]

those where the days ^^

loved it when I first got it the easy way (with the scenario map) and later with the 061 map :-)

With the 061er Map it was better since you could place the Mario Statue on a little Island created with the Island-Present :)

[Mattymate08]

Before the invention of the internet, this tune was worth hours of work for a megapolis just to hear it!

[sim5191]

well. i have a city of 1.000.000 pop on simcity 3000. so comparing i have a megalopolis on simcity 3000.

[Zeromus2000]

i only did it to 200,000 people:-(

[skankydub]

i remember my dad getting me this game when i was a kid and my thumbs getting sore hehe

[franciscoloyola93]

Megalopolis = +500.000

[dakarus]

Never made a megalopis....:( only metropolis

[animagusurreal]

Me neither. And I knew a trick that got you unlimited money, so my sim-citizens had no taxes. But they kept complaining that there weren't enough jobs, so I'd zone for industry, and then they'd complain that there was too much pollution! :P :)

[RukiVverh12]

Ahh, the memories, that was fun... those citizens...

[StrokedGT]

um i dont remember this being the song for a megalopolis

[NinaOPerez]

I never ever got to hear this tune - could never get this far in the game!

[Edomaestro]

yo mmmm llegaba difícilmente a este nivel

[captainhero518]

You have no idea how hard I tried to get to this stage!

[potenciometro8844]

me recuerda a mi nintendo: ¡raramente llegaba a la megalopolis!

[keitaroS2narusegawa]

(Y)

I love this song xD
