There are a lot of bangers from the Donkey Kong games, but I've always had a very soft spot for this one. It's not the best from this game, but it's still very great and imposing.

By far my favorite palace theme in the game. It's extremely catchy and probably my favorite "desert level" themes of all time. The Palace itself is also very great, definitely one of the highlights of the game.

Fall is the best season of all time both in game and irl. And this song fits the vibe of fall so well, I would play this a lot walking to school this fall semester.

The great "joke song" of all time. It's so catchy and has no right for going this hard when it plays in only 1 room in the entire game.

I've been posting a lot of my all time favorite songs so I'll post my absolute favorite of all time. This song always makes me wanna dance as cheesy as that sounds and I love it. Very catchy an earworm to listen to.

My favorite level from Celeste is Temple B side and this song is a huge factor in that. I'll occasionally boot up the game just to play this level just to make sure I still got it lol.

Death (Metal) Mountain. Cadence has amazing remixes of classic Zelda music and this is for sure my all time favorite from that game.

City Ruins (Shade) - Nier Automata
This song has a special place in my heart since a remixed version of it was used for the intro of my first fully completed HC. Even beyond that the song fits the city area of the game so well.

Ochette's Theme - Octopath Traveler 2
Out of all the songs from this game I didn't expect this one to become my favorite overtime. The theme's use in all Toto'haha songs is great and The Journey of Legends End is peak.
