Greatest video game song ever?

Close, but no cigar.

I knew it was going to be either upper or lower brinstar but yes, you can easily leave it on loop for hours

Very close

Counterpoint

Literally every version of it is amazing. The version in Prime 2 is probably the most famous, but I fuckin LOOOVE the one from Samus Returns. Especially cause it's one of the most gorgeous sections of the game:

The Metroid Prime 2 Version is super good.

From the same soundtrack tho☝️

Actually, on second thought:

Not to be a glazer, but... Mega Man 2 - Wily Stage 1

I feel bad for the other songs.

Bro

Probably my 3rd favourite Metroid song behind Sylux boss theme and Phendrana Drifts

Here’s an underrated one

Falling down the red shaft as this plays rewired my brain chemistry

I really enjoy Theme of Laura from Silent Hill 2.

Red Brinstar was a known banger before the term existed. It was first on my playlist of songs when Playlist became a thing. Every now and then I light my room red, play this song and make "pew pew" noises. Red Brinstar fucks.

Unbelievable how atmospheric it is, amazing stuff. I have to play this again.

It’s actually lower norfair

It's up there. I did smile when a variation of it was brought in for Prime 2.

It's up there! Certainly the best Metroid song

This is up there, however my favorite video game songs are probably

It's good, but Samus' Theme and Norfair (Ridley's Lair) are my favorites!

Baby Keem uses this as the bass for Gang Activities:

not like samus theme from the start of the game bro?

It’s up there

much to think about

Surface Crateria or Lower Norfair

One of them.

this series has so many bangers fr

YESSSSS

It is. *BUT* Castlevania Divine Bloodlines and Bloody Tears are too. But it is. Also, the entire SOTN soundtrack. And Ace Combat 2's as well, while we are it. AND- *this user has been shot*

Bro, it's not even the best among all 2D Metroid and Sector 1 theme is top 3 I think

Lower Brinstar is fantastic, but my favorite song in the series the second Crateria theme. It also plays during the final phase of the Mother Brain fight. Really makes you feel like a hero.
