    My time has come. As someone who almost exclusively listens to instrumental soundtrack from movies and games, including from games I have never played, these are the ones that most often get stuck in my head (in no particular order). A plus “+” indicates a song that got stuck in my head regularly before I ever played the game, while an asterisk “*” indicates a song that still gets stuck in my head, despite being from a game I have never played at all.

    1. Baba Yetu - Civ IV (+)

    2. Hyrule Castle - Breath Of The Wild (+)

    3. Lorule Castle - Link Between Worlds (*)

    4. One Final Effort - Halo 3 (*)

    5. Golem King - Moonlighter

    6. Song of the Ancients - Nier Series (*)

    7. Dragonborn - Skyrim

    8. Far Horizons - Skyrim (+)

    9. Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker (*)

    10. Nate’s Theme - Uncharted (*)

    11. Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy (*)

    12. Korobeiniki - Tetris (+)

    13. Gerudo Valley - Ocarina of Time (+)

    14. Colgera Battle - Tears of the Kingdom

    15. This Song - The Witcher 3 (It’s the song Aen Seidhe, but without vocals)

    16. Bloody Tears - Castlevania (*)

    But finally, the song that I credit with making me obsessed with instrumental soundtrack, because I fell asleep with it playing on repeat for a whole night at the age of 5, and then lost the game cartridge, so I forgot what it was from, and which I would get stuck in my head roughly once a month throughout my entire childhood until I finally found the song THIRTEEN YEARS LATER:

    Ω) Town Theme - Final Fantasy II

      These are all outstanding songs, but Lost Woods is the only one I’d describe as “catchy”

        2. Song of storms (TLoZ Ocarina of time)
        3. SMW Overworld Theme (Super Mario World)

    Lost woods.

    Honestly anything from OoT, but Lost Woods, Kakariko Villiage, and Gerudo Valley in particular are ingrained into my gray matter.

    It’s gotta be from Final Fantasy, hard to choose just one when you got: Suteki da Ne, real Emotions, Eyes on Me, Sen no Kotoba, Otherworld, One Winged Angel, etc… there’s a reason why I love Theatrhythm. But if I had to it will probably be Melodies of Life.

    Actually, I change my mind, this is the catchiest video game song.

    Doom E1M1 on my soundblaster and my Roland MT-32, all pumped through my surround sound system in my concrete dorm room in late 1992 and I won’t hear otherwise.

      E1M1 is great, top tier music.

      The level clear screen music, E2M8, E1M8, and E1/2M9 tracks are all other top tier track contending for the throne.

      Doom II introduced a few more bangers too, but I’m not as able to call the level codes to mind off the top of my head.
