@@MarcoMeatball Yes, at least most of the series is. The original game was on GBC, but it's been ported to Switch and Playstation. Everything else is on Steam. The game order is Shantae, Risky's Revenge, Pirates Curse, Half Genie Hero, and Seven Sirens. They're semi-metroidvanias. There's a new one coming out soon, too.

[@Drcats69]

I know I've made this joke on your channel and a couple of the others who have started doing video game quizzes but I really feel like going on tarvoulds channel fundamentally changed how your brain works with regards to this desire to just keep doing these quizzes And I am here for it as being able to figure out game music is like my one party trick Even if I don't know the song, I seem to have a keen sense of being able to either link it to a composer or at the very least console if it's an older game

Okami has such amazing music, and only Amazon music, just banger after banger as the kids would say. (I would probably be considered a kid to people so what am I even saying)

[@tehbp3500]

You'd be surprised how many people would know that Monty on the Run song, it had a notable feature in the early-internet rage-game sensation that was I Wanna Be The Guy. Same with that song from Ikaruga. The full version of Monty on the Run is a masterpiece of early game music composition, by the way, I would highly recommend listening to the full thing.

[@requiem6465]

[@hundvd_7]

8:35 This was insane to me. I had _zero_ doubt in my mind that it would be _something_ Metroid. Literally the very first drone note, and I was already 100% convinced. And every other sound only reinforced that.

[@riskyworks]

12:42 I legit didn't even realize it was Okami until you said it. Once you said it, I was just like "Oh shit, that IS Okami, how in the world didn't I notice" Speaking of Okami... Great game. Like, I genuinely recommend it to anyone reading this (Especially if you like Zelda games, though I do feel like it's important to add that the puzzles are often VERY easy, and that the game often outright gives you the answer). It just oozes tons of charm, and the artstyle honestly kinda BENEFITS from being low-poly, which means that it's very hard for the game's visuals to truly age.

[@TheMaestroso]

Just recently played it for the first time (and got the plat), so this one was right at the front of my brain immediately, and I was so happy he got it. Will reiterate, it's a must-play for the charm and fun throughout.

[@pemanilnoob]

I actually got it immediately and got annoyed he didn’t lol Guess my standards were too high, seeing as nobody else got it…

[@Stratelier]

"What is Wonder Boy?" Look up "Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap" on modern storefronts for its absolutely STUNNINGLY-animated HD remake. The game is a lightweight Metroidvania where your quest is to search out and slay several dragons tormenting the realm, but each one slain puts a curse on your hero, turning them into a different monster (with different abilities).

[@Shritistrang]

'Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom' is also pretty great.

[@Paxstorzin]

But Wonder Boy in Monster World is the best of the series 🔥

[@minionnik6591]

11:28 "i beg your pardon"

[@c0baltl1ghtn1ng]

10:18 Likely better known as "Dragon Roost Island." The song also eventually became the theme of the Rito later on in the franchise, most notably the Rito Village in Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom, and referenced in that *massive* crescendo during Colgera's third phase in ToTK.

[@ALeafOnTheWind42]

[@skellysniperyt3210]

The problem is that there are *so* many games, at this point, that it's difficult to pin stuff down. My tastes seem to tend toward smaller/indie games, flash games, or things that weren't as recognized when they released (like Cave Story). But I'm screwed when it comes to older consoles, or, mainline series that aren't, like, Mega Man, Pokemon, Zelda. That doesn't mean I don't know a lot of music- it just means I have no chance at these quizzes, which sucks.

[@4box1]

Marco, I did not by any stretch get everything right. However, I nailed a lot of the old-school tunes wonderfully. Rocket Knight is a great side scrolling platform game that is highly underrated. The Flying Battery, was funny, with you insisting it was a Sonic tune lol.

Rocket Knight is one of my fav Genesis game, and the soundtrack is stellar - I had a hard time choosing which track to use XD

That was a great quiz, I saw this live too! Also want to point out that is really funny the fact that Calamity mod is on the thumbnail but in the quiz it's just the base game 😂😂

[@CelticBotansDigitalArt]

These are so fun and hilarious, and I find it especially funny bc I usually never know any of the themes, and often never even heard of the games themselves, I only got like 2 right in this quizz for example (The Professor Layton one and the Ori theme). I LOVE vgm to bits but I have the most specific and "sheltered" gaming experience as you said, cause I never had any consoles as a kid. So I played what my friends had, or whatever the heck CD-ROMS I had access to for some reason, which means my childhood games were like SuperMario World and Sonic CD (the american OST version), games that are considered classics now and then I also played stuff like..... "Hansel & Gretel and the Enchanted Castle" and "Side Pocket" (which has a banger ost btw), lmao.

Shining Force II is my 2nd favorite RPG on the Sega MegaDrive (Eur)/Sega Genesis (US), and is from the same people that created the Golden Sun games. Although I never had a MegaDrive, I had the "SEGA Mega Drive Classic Collection TM: Volume 4", that includes my 3 favorite MegaDrive RPGs: Shining Force, Shining Force II, and Phantasy Star IV.

[@khaotil_dub]

Shining Force II honestly needs more love, like a freaking remake or something - my first RPG ever, still one of my fav games of all time, such an incredible soundtrack

[@bastiangugu4083]

Funny, you're saying "nobody knows this", when I recognised Monty on the run even before you said it. 🙂 After the first three notes, to be precise. Mass Effect, FF VI, Monkey Island and No one lives Forever 2 were also instantly recognizable. But those quizzes are quite hard, I must admit. You're lucky they didn't put more C64 and Amiga music in. There are so many great tracks; every retro gamer knows instantly. 🙂

[@brodybazzini6729]

I dont know how I remembered the battle theme from Mario and Luigi Dream Team but I'm glad i did

[@DoctorShroom]

6:01 The singing in this track... Reminds me of, a track from Samurai Champloo. Obokuri Eeumi - Ikue Asazaki That anime also has some other good other tracks, generally a little more hip-hop-y.

[@IrideaeSnowbloom]

Here I was, wondering if there would be any Ikaruga music in this quiz - because of course Ikaruga would be one of the more obscure games of our history - and then of course at 15:43 BUTSUTEKKAI HITS! XD I freaked the hell out! "I was just thinking of this game!"

[@thenonexistinghero]

Dude, Ikaruga is far from one of the most obscure games in gaming history. Heck, it's one of Treasure's most famous games. Gunstar Super Heroes (the GBA game not Genesis game), Guardian Legend, Radiant Silvergun, Sin and Punishment, Bangai-O (all games in the franchise), Astro Boy: Omega Factor, Guardian Heroes, etc... all of them are more obscure. Ikaruga is usually the 2nd most mentioned game that is associated with Treasure after the original Gunstar Heroes. Sadly they're pretty much a dead dev these days. They haven't even released a game in over a decade.

[@Zalger248]

@@thenonexistinghero Fair enough. When I say 'obscure', I mean more in terms of comparison to the many other titles that are more well known - the Super Marios, the Zeldas, the CoDs, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, etc. I hardly ever see much discussion about Ikaruga, so it registers as being on the more 'obscure' end of the spectrum for me.

13:25 Sorry for all the comments, but I just gotta say. I knew it was Dream Team almost immediately (I guessed that it was "Never Let Up", though I wasn't as certain as I'd have liked to be). I just wanted to point this out because I seriously love Dream Team. It definitely has it's flaws *cough, cough, tutorials* and all that, but it's still just a great game IMO. PS: Your reaction is VERY understandable. I'd probably also react like that if I wasn't familiar with the game.

[@Ascera_exists]

I love Dream Team as well, it’s a really good game

[@RainStorm148]

the moment i hear the starting notes of Darkest Shadow (the Soul Calibur VI song) i immediately recognize it. Soulcalibur's music can occasionally feel like an RPG. you should try listening to the soundtracks of VI. "Brave New Stage of History", the character select theme, was even used for Tokyo Olympics alongside "Olympus Coliseum" from Kingdom Hearts, "First Flight" from Ace Combat and "Victory Fanfare" from Final Fantasy.

I like how I didn't found much of these, but I recognised Hades's guitar and Layton's theme almost instantly X)

[@els236]

I have to say that for me, the only ones I got immediately were Windwaker, SoulCalibur and Metroid Fusion. I then got the Sims and that was about it. If the Skyrim track had started 5 seconds later, I would have gotten it just before the timer was up. Quite sneaky to use the section before the most iconic part.
