I love the snes but even I think that this is more nostalgia than anything, you could easily say the same about Sonic in the Genesis, personally I do think that the snes is vastly superior than the Genesis in the music departament, and that SMW certainly has a good soundtrack but it's not particulary mindblowing imo, it was a very early title after all.

I'm really not a Sega fan, I'd likely play anything Nintendo before I'd touch a Sega system, but this shit right here has got one hell of a soundtrack.

>> No.3694398

>>3694383

The map themes (Yoshi's Island, overworld, vanilla dome, forest of illusion, valley of bowser), the ghost house themes, the fortress/castle themes.

Yes, the ghost house, the castle, the underwater, underground and both atheltic themes all have the same leitmotif, but you'd be labeles as musically ignorant if you said the Ghost house theme and the atheltic theme are the same track.

I actually didn't knew they were all the same, I was implying that the overworld theme is the only one that I would consider "iconic" or "memorable".

The ghost house theme is in my head a lot too. But I've played a shit ton of SMW and those are the only themes that have stuck with me, if the soundtrack really was memorable I guess I should remember more songs.

What's the name of that cat fuck at the beggining of Dynamite Headdy? The theme that sounds at that part of the game was stuck in my head for literally 15 years.

>It's a highly subjective matter, which is why this thread is pure console war shitposting (most likely falseflag, too).

This.

SMW has good music (my favourite is the Castle theme, its nerve wrecking good), but the only thing that makes its music more iconic than say Sonic or Toejam & Earl or Streets of Rage 2, is nothing else but the fact that more people have bought SMW.
If Sonic 1 had sold 60 million copies, then it would be Green Hill Zone that is more popular.

i feel sorry for your kid selves, but be honest, you actually were able to play both because most of you are kids who grew up with 6th gen and only played SMW and Sonic through emulation, so why do you even waste time console warring?

The thing you people need to understand is that Super Mario games, and their music, are inherently 8-bit.

Sonic is 16-bit.

There were no 16-bit SMB games until Yoshi's Island.

Yeah it's always those younger mega autists who became fans later on who post this garbage. We can say without question they are mega autists with no friends or love interests just going by the kinds of people who post videos about these games on youtube and post on fan sites. Sonic has the worst reputation because the furshit, the recolors, and the horrible fanfics, but Mario attracts a similar crowd.

I grew up only having a Sega Genesis. The music of Sonic 2 is burned in my brain forever and ever. The music of Super Mario World is familiar and memorable too from repeated plays of it at the houses of my friends and family members. I have a great appreciation for both. I logged many hours on both using emulators over the years and I'm in the process of acquiring both consoles and flash carts so I can play those and other games I loved more on their original hardware.

The console war was fought and won with mixed results for all parties involved long ago. Arguing about which one is better is fucking dumb. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Better to play the great games that were made instead of whine about sound or graphical capabilities like a redneck Call Of Duty playing xbox shitter.
