Wow! A bunch of big name soundtracks just went down.

Castlevania 64 - Can anyone put their finger on what Elemental Master's credits sound like? I know I've heard something similar before.

Lords of Magic - Here come two more tropes of fire music: hand drums and gongs.

Also, the thread just made it to 6,000 replies.

F-Zero is a classic, but it can't compete with Silver Surfer

Neither of the fire level options actually feels remotely like a fire theme to me. Weird. Well I like Life Force more. Would have voted Illusion Blaze anyway if it had given me a more appropriate vibe.

That Life Force stage is more of a rock/volcano type level. There is also a 'real' fire stage in this game with this music (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q-3ORwe6Yg).

Wonder Boy in Monster World ~I think I like Lethal Xcess more, but this one really feels like a fire level theme to me.

Shadows of Cairn - This game is utter garbage, but as someone who was really into Fields of the Nephilim at that time, I always loved this soundtrack, especially the part that starts around 4:45.
Lethal Xcess - Volcanic Plateaus - Neither track screams 'fire level', the Wonder Boy theme actually first appears in the pyramid stage and sounds like it is trying to evoke that kind of atmosphere.

Shadow as of Cairn

Wonder Boy in Monster World - this one definitely sounded like a fire level to me. It also sounded like it should've been in Chrono Trigger.

Haha. Understood. Then I'm off to find the next forum game in need.

Star Trader - Ugly Beauty - this particular track was composed by Keishi Yonao

Btw, Vantage Master is a Windows game.

The Last Express

Granstream Saga - neither felt very fiery to me. Star Trader sounded like a boss battle, and Granstream Saga sounded like dangerous exploration but not necessarily a lava cave. I decided on Granstream Saga because I felt the dangerous exploration vibe was closer than Star Trader to a fire vibe, also simply because I liked it more.

I volunteer as tribute should you need an extra extra person for a goofy forum game.

I actually do probably need another replacement now. It would require an hour+ of your time though, possibly a fair bit more depending on how fast you read. Here is the game thread (http://www.dragonmount.com/forums/topic/101533-game-thread-aspiring-tennis-enthusiasts-day-2/). It makes a lot of assumptions that people who have never played Mafia before probably won't get, so let me know if it looks like something that would interest either of you and I'll clarify with more information. In the meantime, please do not post in that thread I just linked. (You're welcome to post elsewhere on the forum.)

Also, please excuse the really random theme. Most games are more "normal" than that; I was being a goof.

I think there have been two basic fire themes so far. 'Dangerous exploration vibe' is one of them, 'no time to explore, I need to get the fuck out of here' the other. The latter usually comes with a more energetic soundtrack that tries to evoke desperation or even panic. Most action games or shmups that have been played so far fall into this category whereas RPGs usually go for the exploration theme.

Donkey Kong Country 2. Lords of Thunder has a great concept for a fire level to start and I love the gritty tone/quality of the sound, but god the 80s cock rock guitar wanks on way too long for its own good. Could have been a solid tune if he hadn't gotten distracted trying to show off his scales to the myriad lady gamers of the TurboDuo. *snerk*

Bucky O'Hare, though I feel like it's missing something. It's got the groundwork for a really memorable song, but it doesn't close out the loop with a little finisher like say, Wily's Castle from Mega Man 2, so it starts to sound redundant. Do you know what I mean?

I agree. I also feel like it doesn't have some X factor that changes the emotion or takes the music someplace new after the initial patterns are set up (Wily's Castle from MM2 is a perfect example of how to do that right, too).

I liked it better than Kirby, but I don't disagree with this. As an aside, my friend and I replayed Secret of Mana two years ago. It did not have the magic it had in high school, and this track became the underwhelming culmination of our frustration. I'm curious how others have maintained nostalgia for the game to the degree that a remake is in production.

I've actually never played it, but I've always wanted to. By the time my parents allowed me to play video games the original PlayStation was already out for a while. So, Secret of Mana was already expensive at that time and I missed out on it. I know I could play an emulator, but I'm glad to hear there is a remake in production.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Donkey Kong Country 2 - I do really like some ending themes that are big medleys (FF4 and 6, for example). Ocarina's just doesn't feel cohesive enough to me, and I thought DKC's track was strong.

Resident Evil 5

Donkey Kong Country 2 - Same as Arthur, I do enjoy bigger a medley, but DKC2 was a stronger track to me.

New Super Mario Bros - I debated on this for a while because I actually enjoyed the Resident Evil 5 soundtrack more, but I feel like Super Mario conveys a fire theme better.

I was never a big Secret of Mana fan as a kid, and I didn't really notice the music either. I remember when Square started marketing vgm in the US for the first time, I gobbled up FFVI instantly, but I never ended up buying the Secret of Mana soundtrack (granted my money at the time would have consisted of whatever I got for my birthday/Christmas and a $1 a week allowance). I had a few fun experiences with the game. I really enjoyed the spell leveling grind for some reason. You can never blow up too many nordic rabbits, I guess? But it definitely never ranked among my favorites.

It wasn't until probably the late 90s, when mp3s became prevalent, that I ended up downloading everything from Square I could get my hands on and fell in love with Hiroki Kikuta. As far as credit themes go for classic Square games, I really love SoM's ending. I suppose I agree that it doesn't feel like a credit roll, but I never came to appreciate the SoM soundtrack within the context of the game proper anyway.

Mario Party - Bowser's Magma Mountain, by Yasunori Mitsuda (N64, 1998)

Chrono Trigger

Mario Party

A wild Tanis appears!

I always liked DKC's ending theme (and final battle music for that matter), even as a kid. It's of little use against my favorite videogame song of all time.

Chrono Trigger

Aladdin

Chrono Trigger - Only Rivaled by the staff roll of FF7 and Vagrant Story's ending credits. The only 3 credit rolls that leave me in tears.

Chrono Trigger
Aladdin

Chrono Trigger

Mario Party - I played Aladdin on SNES with my little brother. We loved that game, but Mario Party is what I like more in a fire theme.

Chrono Trigger - the beginning always reminded me of this (https://youtu.be/Zn6kiimEsYc)

Good lord that Ristar song is so 90s. I'm surprised the composer is Japanese. (That didn't actually factor into me voting for it.)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game, wow, the last time I heard this I was physically playing the game in the arcade.

Legend of Mana

Musashi Samurai Legend - As an aside, I've always thought the Kirby track (which I also like) has a spiritually similar feel to this track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SBNCYkSceU) from The Social Network's soundtrack

Wow, I'm surprised Streets of Rage is off to such a large lead. I enjoyed both of these significantly more than the average track in the mix, but Kaze Kiri: Ninja Action wins for me by a hair.

I've actually never finished the game! I'll break it out

This is a hard one.

Streets of Rage 2
Super Mario

I like the arabian feel to the super mario track.

Kaze Kiri: Ninja Action

Super Mario 64

Double tie.

Double Slash! XD You're double tie made me think of double slash from Legend of Dragoon. I don't think I ever listened to the music in that game while playing because I always had it muted due to that annoying announcement every time you timed the attack correctly.

Haha. I did the same thing!

Sorry, I fall behind when I'm playing Mafia games.

I really want to drag some of you lot into that dark world of internet shouting matches one day. It's fun and awful. XD

Update coming in a bit. Just going to coin toss if they're ties and if someone wants to add a vote later I'll change it accordingly.

I'm guessing some info on Genocide 2 could be wrong because I had it listed in my notes as an X68000 track

Hinadori no Saezuri

Always a pleasure listening to new music.

None of these particularly stood off the page to me, but i do quite like the casualness of tracks which Hinadori no Saezuri is a part of.

Very underrated soundtrack imo, if that had been on the SNES, people would be making documentaries about it. I did upload the entire thing to Youtube a few months ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmd3XWl1BZs), it's also some of the best use of a midi synthesizer I have ever heard. Actual midi that is, not what kids pass off as being "midi" these days :)

Okay, i'll have to take a listen again :)

For that matter, if it was a nobuo uematsu soundtrack.

I have this massive bias in my head because I saw that Hinadori no Saezuri was a hentai game and now I can't take the music seriously lol

I think it still probably deserves the vote here

Hi. Posting to say that yes, it is an issue for quite a few users. --> Thread 220616

EDIT:
I suggest you to install some Ad-blocker, if you haven't, already: one called uBlock Origin seems to help with blocking at least part of that crap.

wow, yeah, my cpu is maxed out to 99% when I view here

Kind of tempted to put this game on hold until it's resolved tbh just because I don't know enough about how this crap works to feel comfortable that I'm not enabling all sorts of keystroke loggers and shit. Also the Groups section is down so I have no access to youtube samples for the next set of tracks.

Same here, it's a bit annoying to say the least :/

I'm really sorry but I straight-up can't use this site until it is fixed.

My main forum has been offline for going on three weeks now for a major overhaul but once it's operational again I'll relocate the game there if necessary. It's where I run the other half of the annual Final Fantasy rumble.

Weird...I'm having no issues.

The site appears to be fixed.

I'll post an update at some point today.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

Oh there are still no group pages anymore.

Well I'll do what I can, can't guarantee I'll be able to find some of the more obscure tracks in the list but I do have the song names written down.

Glad to be back. Ongoing discussion in the Facebook group.

Mega Man 2 - Another interesting match-up for the ongoing discussion of what makes something sound like a fire theme (especially in chiptune form)

Mother 2 and Mega Man 2

It's hard for me to pass fair judgment in the second bracket because I just love the Mega Man 2 soundtrack as a whole too much, but I'm pretty sure I would take it always here anyway. Shadow Man sounds about as much like a fire level as its name suggests. <_<

Mother 2 - Btw, the video in your link covers the entire ending which consists of two different tracks, the actual credits theme starts at 3:50 (https://youtu.be/z5m0_UUm408?t=229)

Final Fantasy VI - I just replayed this for the first time in years and fell in love with it again. Still my favorite in the series.

Kid Chameleon - When there was a Fire Levels thread many years ago, the Red Hot Skull track was the most frequent recommendation. I included it in the rumble in case it was just me missing something.
