Nintendo Music that unlocks a Core Memory

I was doing my regular, mundane 9-5 job when a tune popped into my head. For the life of me I could not identify it. It was driving me nuts! Finally, after replaying it in my head about a million times, I figured it out. It was the underground theme from Yoshi's Island. The memory of that music took me back to my childhood...

So, I decided to encapsulate that feeling in the form of a playlist!

From the SNES, to the N64, GameCube, and Wii... these tunes are guaranteed to take you back in time!

Mario Kart DS' title screen played and quietly sent me back to the couch I sat on when I was 6. Core memory indeed.

Thank you youtube for showing this to me. You've unlocked the equivalent of 'nam flashbacks with that inclusion of *HER* theme.

I'm actually crying rn, it's like rainbow road from mario kart 64 contains my entire childhood. In a single living room, sitting on the ground, playing as toad, in that longass track with two of my childhood friends, on their N64. Jesus, I'm old, I love this little stupid and weird track. Wth is that flute?? I truly love it exclusively for the nostalgia.

These videos always fascinate me because there are SO many games that I have zero nostalgia for within my demographic, never had an n64 or gamecube despite being common for my age group etc., but then there are the ones that sock me in the face like the ds mario kart and animal crossing themes, so great job being intersectional! Thanks for the playlist!

Nice try, but you forgot my main weakness of the Metroid Prime title music. Seriously, I actually almost cried when I heard it the first time playing Prime in 2020 because it brought back memories of Smash Bros Brawl story mode with my sister. For real though, good video, she's going in my writing playlist.

Omg The melee theme instantly, that's a flood of memories! I still remember when my buddy came at me with wavedashes the first time, it was scary.

Good Egg Galaxy shows just how *magical* Super Mario Galaxy really is. Go play it if you haven't, it's worth a hundred play-throughs.

The Mario Kart Wii brings back so many memories

Merci pour la petite playlist, cela m'aide à garder mon calme lors de moment tendus tel qu'une petite partie de league of legends, surtout quand la nida ne touche pas ses lances et que je me fais cc pendant 5 secondes sur un fight de 6 secondes.
Bisous

Algorithm did a nice job recommending me this.

Honestly most of those are more mémorable because of their later use for meme and some for video I watched where they are used

I'm a simple man. I see Cynthia I click.
