The opening theme song of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and SEPHIROTH?! 😱
This man is a whole living legend here.
The Final Fantasy IV Celtic Moon album is amazing
Dance of Death also sounds alot like the boss music from FF VII. FF IV is my favorite FF game and probably my favorite Nobuo soundtrack as well.
Koji Kondo
Punch Out – Minor Circuit Theme
Mario 64 – Dire Dire Docks and any Bowser Stage
Zelda Skyward Sword – Prologue Theme
Great video. I'm going to have to go find some Koji Kondo themes to see what I like.
A little surprised Aria Di Mezzo Caraterre didn't make the cut (the opera theme from FF6) but to be fair where do you even begin to make cuts with this absolute legend? He is talent personified.
I still remember the first time I reached Sephiroth. Fresh out of Mario and Pokémon Red, FF7 was my first 'adult' game with a real plot, and One Winged Angel was seared into my brain with a white hot branding iron of awesome. Never heard anything like it. It STILL gives me chills to think back to that moment.
Dancing Mad as number 1 is the only correct choice, but then again the Entire Final Fantasy 6 soundtrack is a masterpiece. From Terra's theme to Cyan's Theme to Aria Di Mezzo Caraterre. There are no bad tracks to the best soundtrack to the best Final Fantasy game.
The title of "Dancing Mad" says it all. Madness. It's absolutely, beautifully arranged madness, and we all love every second of it. It is his magnum opus, no doubt.
10 Koji Kondo themes:
Devil World – Bonus Stage
Super Mario Bros – Overworld Theme
Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic – Ending
Super Mario Bros 3 – Underwater theme
Super Mario World – Castle Theme
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island – Flower Garden
Super Mario 64 – Dire Dire Docks
Legend of Zelda (Famicom Disk System version) – Title Theme
Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past – Hyrule Castle
Legend of Zelda the Ocarina of time – Spirit Temple
I have kept my promise to get to 10 with Nobuo Uematsu, and now I have delivered that promise with Koji Kondo.
As much as I LOVE One Winged Angel, I still would put Dancing Mad at no.1. Choosing the best Uematsu track is like choosing the best Kondo track. Wait, u r doing that 2!? Seriously, Great work… and (ahem) Zelda's Lullaby 😉
Can you do a top 10 list of Dragon Quest music?
My two song lists from Koji Kondo are Gerudo Valley- Ocarina of Time, and Dire Dire Docks- Super Mario 64.
The prelude at #10 reminds me of the intro to "Let My Love Open The Door" by Pete Townshend. There may not be any real connection, but that's what immediately popped into my head.
I get why you included songs from other games, otherwise the top 10 would just be the FFVI soundtrack, and One Winged Angel.
Sephiroth's theme at no.2?
I ain't even (dancing) mad.
