Great video once again Pad! I loved going through all these tracks i havent heard in years like freddy fish and diddy kong racing and songs i've never heard before like the lsd dream emulator track and roll away. Here's some of my personal favorites i'd recommend for that dreamy, aesthetic vibe. Zora Cape - Ocarina of Time Sky and Sea - Mario Sunshine You've come far, Ness - Earthbound Rainbow Resort - Kirby's Adventure Shooting Star Summit - Paper Mario 64 The Great Boggly Tree - Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Garage - Fzero GX Bubbly Washing Machine - Super Monkey Ball 2 Law's Theme - Tekken 2 Tidal Tempest - Sonic CD JP Summer Forest - Spyro 2 Observatory - Majora's Mask

[@Claus939]

Earthbound - Deeper in Ness' Subconscious and Sea of Eden would've been top tier choices for this

[@tysonxavierz]

Finally some lego island rep, I love that game. If I had to to add a song it would probably be Legend of Zelda Oot title theme. The theme itself is so soothing and not something I expected when I first booted up the game, but it's a very welcome addition.

[@PadChennington]

I feel you Tyson! also the file select theme...omg

[@waynehamilton6781]

These were some really good picks! For me, maybe they don't have vaporwave esthetic per se but man did I love how calming Sirena Beach from Super Mario Sunshine and the background music from Marble Blast Ultra were!

[@PadChennington]

or that one level of that hotel in Super Mario sunshine that takes place at sunset...cant remember what its called

[@waynehamilton6781]

[@elgeeie]

That specific era of Lego, 1996-2000 I would say, has an otherworldly quality to it. Back when its old motto was on every box, "Just Imagine..." and some sets had a blue sky background on the box... I do remember finding the OST of Lego Island beautiful. I'd go to certain areas of the game just to hear the music. I really miss that time of Lego. It's extremely nostalgic for me.

Ape Escape OST by Soichi Terada is the shinning example of proto-Vaporwave. Best by far is Time Station, sad to not see it on the list, but oh well there's still plenty of great OSTs on here. great video btw!

[@nostalgiac8582]

Ape Escape is like a top 3 OST of all time for me. It feels so unlike any other OST.

[@MagickFlavour]

Ok I’ve deleted 2 comments just because it’s so hard for me to choose which game has the most aesthetic song. After awhile, I figured it out. The OST for the Sonic Mega Collection (I think that’s what it’s called) for the PS2 gives me hella nostalgia everytime I hear it. It’s synth ambience brings me back to a time where I used to go to my grandma’s daycare. She had a ps2 upstairs set up just for me with that game. Seriously, the 2 or 3 songs they made just for the menus of that game are high key some of the best music in gaming.

[@wrenrhodes1155]

Oh and the character customize theme from tekken tag 2. It's future funk played at a doomy vapor tempo. It's called "your sunset"

[@GarlicToothpaste]

Great idea for a video and well put together. Cheers. Those underwater levels were very nostalgic. One of the tunes I remember trying to download on soulseek was two many cats from the James Pond II Robocod game.

[@josiessaqua7891]

the lego information centre theme instills fear into me to this day, I used to be terrified of the sharks (they were through the door I think?)

[@Mr_toaster-hu7lg]

the entire Rush 2 extreme racing USA soundtrack (even though it's more outrun than vaporwave). the music is a perfect representation of an old 90's racing game that wants to hype the player by giving you this feeling that wants to make you go as fast as you can possibly go. plus I loved the maps, they were colorful and used allot of neon lights (especially that map where you can do allot of stunts)

[@ararattempest-lingua]

and I think soundtracks from Amiga and Atari ST games could be made into real vaporwave goodness. 16-bit sounds are underrated comparing with 8-bit ones, since we've already have chiptunes nearly all about 8-bit. europeans should have their own nostalgia about these (but I'm Asian xD) anyway, home computers like those are huge back then. and even sounds from Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC also could be done so.

[@TheTinker19]

Some strong picks here, definitely. As for some recommendations: First off, the oldest 𝑨 𝑬 𝑺 𝑻 𝑯 𝑬 𝑻 𝑰 𝑪 game track I can think of is Marble Madness - "Practice Race" (the later arranged version for FM Towns is especially good). Mario Paint - "Mysterious" International Track & Field 2000 (PS1) - "Results" (seriously, this one is fantastic) Einhänder - "Earthlight" Art of Balance - "Title Screen" Digimon World - "File City (Night)" Namco Museum Vol. 1 - "Museum" Honestly a lot of tracks from the Japan-only Mario Artist games.

[@gatdecor3478]

MendelPalace art of balance had a fire ass soundtrack w/o a doubt. i remember making sure to download the demo to it before the wii shop closed just to make sure i wouldn’t forget it lmao

[@emalsinoel]

Okay literally none of the games I'm about to mention have aesthetic or vaporwave visuals or music, but the whole Cuphead soundtrack, Spanish Sahara from Life is Strange, the Save Room theme from Resident Evil 0, the whole Mario Kart Wii soundtrack, the X-Naut Fortress music from Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door, the music box songs from FNaF, the whole Undertale soundtrack, Final Fantasy battle music, the Song of Healing from Majora's Mask, and Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time always hit me right in the nostalgia.

The whole DKC trilogy has the best soundtrack out there, but one that gets overlooked when it comes to a e s t h e t i c is DKC3's Pokey Pipes. It's dark, gritty, and full of atmosphere!

[@guessoow]

The most a e s t h e t i c gaming tune I have ever heard is definitely Distant Scenery, from a little indie game called 2064: Read Only Memories... The synths and the sax on the background makes you feel like on a tropical cruise with that late evening orange sky while the sun is setting... Love that game and that music a lot!

[@juliecumming826]

[@averyjenson]

Stickerbrush Symphony in DKC2 is also amazing. Video game music really deserves its due with music nerds cause it had so much inspiration in Vaporwave and Hip-Hop. A few recommendations that I don’t think others have mentioned: -Anodyne 1&2 (and other Analgesic Production games): Definitely some aesthetic driven games to a degree, but just very unique, strange games. The music is a mix of ambient music and slightly more melodic and upbeat songs. Hard to describe, but both lovely soundtracks. -Super Monkey Ball Series has some super nice tunes -Ecco: Defender of the Future (the other ecco games too - like, c’mon, it’s too on the nose) -Spyro 2&3 have some really catchy tunes. -Gimmick/Mr. Gimmick for the NES (absolutely amazing NES soundtrack, with the beach theme especially fitting the bill for vaporwave aesthetics) -Kirby’s Return to Dreamland- Aurora Area -Since Vaporwave artists love weird old games, MOON: Remix RPG Adventure has great music of many genres.

[@jordanwilliams2479]

This isn’t necessarily aesthetic, but one song that always gets me going is the song towards the end of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box; I unfortunately can’t remember the title, but it’s the music box song that plays when they finally open the box and begin reading Sophie’s letter. My parents bought the game for me when I was 10 and we were living in Germany, so it brings back a lot of specific memories from that turning point in my life

[@gatinha]

as a brazilian, i find that english words, specially in games, hold the same type of exoticism that americans/europeans have for japanese texts, because even though ive played countless hours of games on PS1/SNES/PS2, I, and nearly everyone that wasnt wealthy enough for english classes did not speak a single word of english, and many games came here as kind of "illegal" goods, since it was absolutely impossible to find original games, so there were absolutely no games in portuguese, only in english and japanese. the wii shop for instance is a song that makes me feel like a child on a foreign frontstore window, not being able to access stores outside my country because of region locking, and having to "hack" it to access and not having an international credit cards to buy anything, or even understanding any of the texts there. youtube and internet changed the game for me :)

Here's a little obscure gem for all of you Playstation lovers out there: Listen to Sirus Village from the game Jade Cocoon. Then come back and tell me if it isn't that pure synth drum kit that 90's games loved to use. Gives you that feel of settling somewhere in a polygon forest, just resting there with the slightly symmetrical hexagonal trees and water that looks like it's painted on. All with that text box of an anime portrait of a main character every time you talk to them. Pure gold. Cousin and I would play this game for a long time. Wish games used its very unique catch-and-raise system to not only grow your monsters, but you can fuse them into completely different creatures. Hopefully one of us will make that game. Got another one for a more tense or unsettling bit of vaporwave: Sector 6 ARC from Metroid Fusion. A rarely-talked about game in Metroid because it came at the same time as the beloved Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion is the successor to Super Metroid that told a narrative of personal survival for Samus. Not to mention the absolute terror in the game being stalked by a foe that you cannot fight, and who has YOUR powers from Super Metroid. It's a very clever way of making you feel truly alone in a space station gone to hell. At least there's peace within the arctic research area, right? Nope, you're in this frozen ice containment with all sorts of enemies as you can't even enter the area without taking damage before getting a power up first. Doesn't make it any less easy though. You still have to contend with said stalking enemy, and you need to navigate the frozen area with this sense of something is hiding in here in this sparkling dream of yours. It's as if a nightmare is just right around the corner...
