* [[https://youtu.be/e2t5gKTUO64 "Beautiful One Day"]], the ninth remix is also a really cool pop song about [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre realizing the beauty within yourself even when heartbreak sets you back]]. A feel-good change of pace after Remix 8.

* [[https://youtu.be/e2t5gKTUO64 "Beautiful One Day"]], the ninth remix is also a really cool pop song. A feel-good change of pace after Remix 8.

* [[https://youtu.be/BpiYbCMEyic "I'm a Lady Now"]] is the only vocal Remix in the entire game (in the English version at least). Unlike other songs, this one was in English to begin with, and it's actually SurprisinglyGoodEnglish.

* [[https://youtu.be/gjioI1QgyoY Game Select 1]] and [[https://youtu.be/2BIoQbGtSWE Game Select 2]] both pump you up for the challenges ahead.

* [[https://youtu.be/kBIg7LEHs-0 Monkey Watch.]] Oo-ki, oo ki, ki!
* [[https://youtu.be/_vsZzBXJSVo Remix 3]] -- [[ThatOneLevel now if only the the actual mini-game wasn't so brutal...]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoV409aUNiI The first Game Select theme]] is a bit wacky, just like the game itself, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daWzvqfZi8w the second theme]] is downright epic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMMvAOzATos Karate Man]] -- the first mini game and the song that started it all. While undeniably basic compared to what comes later on, it is still a groovy track that, alongside the rhythm game itself, does a great job in introducing the concept of ''Rhythm Heaven'' to first timers.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Jw9XEpvtpg Spaceball]] has an interesting tango vibe.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ssGV51NTbI Space Dance]] sounds really upbeat and climactic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNaaJsYqbfc WISH (Can't Wait For You)]], the fifth remix, is dramatic yet energetic, with a killer guitar.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9_l2inzRLw Sick Beats]] is a wonderfully funky '80s style song that will make you subconsciously bob your head.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfFLnI6nFuE&t=41s Tap Trial]] is a very groovy track that is good for tap dancing (preferably alongside a few monkeys and a giraffe that stares into your soul), also remade as a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f_2e36J1FY bonus mini-game]] in ''Fever''. Its sequel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJCYENvdQgM Tap Trial 2]] picks up the pace and goes for a incredibly energetic ska-vibe.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMehi2h2OAY The*Bon Odori.]] It's the only non-remix song in the game with full lyrics. It's as catchy as it is [[NintendoHard hard.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGafDH_8uI4 Rap Men]] and its sequel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYgNvy0UrFI Rap Women]] are both TotallyRadical, with Rap Women taking a swing turn!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C381ozLq06U Remix 6]] was the beginning of the trend of remixes that are a mixture of all of the rhythm games, and as you'd expect, it's catchy as all get out. They even managed to fit in [[TheScrappy Quiz Show]], which has no music but the intro theme!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjioI1QgyoY Game Select 1]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BIoQbGtSWE Game Select 2]] both pump you up for the challenges ahead.
* Fan Club ("Thrilling! Is This Love?") might be a little cheesy, [[VerbalTic I suppose.]] But it's adorable in both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-Yl-TPWnZc Japanese]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJZ-uQ3ZBEc English]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x_4pnzjvno Its]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHXVFBKZ9i8 sequel]] is a pop take that's even more energetic than before. Wonderful!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6fqlTB-nSo Struck by the Rain]], the Karate Man theme, is an incredibly melancholy vocal track and one of the best ones in the franchise. For those who don't like the English version, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9gw3cnxoww here's the Japanese version]], and the surprisingly good [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elWvIVNh4f8 French]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnGSEr7SuPk German]] versions.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SZMGTXKhNw Remix 3]], a catchy yet atmospheric enka track.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfwNsqXnnek DJ School]] is already fantastic, but it's even better with DJ Yellow's vocals. Scratch-o, hey!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws2saevQkKw Love Lab]] is both catchy and cute, perfectly matching the mood of the game. Someone even made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLt7XIAO10A a lyrical version]] of the song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_TQHJ5J52s Rhythm Rally]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn38qkYgr0s its sequel]] are both catchy despite being [[ThatOneLevel frustrating to no end.]]
* The ominous guitar of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A67fTNF-kz8 Tears of a Dog Ninja]] is amazing.
* Young Love Rock 'n' Roll, the theme for Frog Hop. It's a great catchy tune whether in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwvi9H4HKUU English]] or [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeMzplurHNE Japanese.]] Spin it, boys!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dxq12-FPulQ Space Soccer]] is a delightfully catchy techno beat that manages to make a piano sound awesome with its legendarily climactic ending that will send goosebumps down your spine. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8g87hZ8qs Space Soccer 2]] [[{{Pun}} kicks]] this up a notch with a Western take that extends the final part.

* Once again, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rF96AqSwmI both Game]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gmk3IPraj8 Select themes]] are upbeat and energetic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnvylkpbRao Hole in One]] is an incredibly relaxing and cheerful track that works wonders as the introductory track for the game and is all but guaranteed to make one smile upon listening to it. There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw6RJiaHBh4 Hole in One 2]], which goes for a much more intense, but also incredibly triumphant feel.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hadJFqBcSA Screwbot Factory]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60-e0oK7gE0 its sequel]] have a techno-Arabian feel to them.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bv1Kq4ugRdM See-Saw]] -- [[MundaneMadeAwesome never was playing on a see-saw so epic.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1M81ZZU6Ws Fork Lifter]] is ''pure funk''.
* The delightfully bouncy [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqDbv_3MsNQ Board Meeting.]] It's a shame that it's one of the shortest songs in the game...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBIg7LEHs-0 Monkey Watch.]] Oo-ki, oo ki, ki!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vsZzBXJSVo Remix 3]] -- [[ThatOneLevel now if only the the actual mini-game wasn't so brutal...]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a4eIecSkKg Micro Row]] is an upbeat techno based track that is sure to make you want to swim in a black void with your microbe buddies. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlyKqMa3BCc Its sequel]] adds extra guitars to the track that arguably make it better.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sokq_huvBis Ringside]] -- probably the [[MemeticMutation most famous]] song of the entire series. It is also a very catchy and energetic song to boot that is only enhanced by the vocals. Wubba dubba dub, is that true? Yeah.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96vnlEMbscs Flipper Flop]] is both catchy and [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter downright adorable.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuAgccyZVJ8 Flock Step.]] Tweet twe-twe-tweet twee-tweet, SQUAWK!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiB3zFW36UY Cheer Readers]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K80GQP5w86U Cheer Readers 2]] -- [[MundaneMadeAwesome Let's go read a buncha books! Yay!]]
* ''Fever''[='=]s version of Karate Man uses a hard rock song titled "Lonely Storm". It sounds great in both [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy-obB3oLsg Japanese]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vsNuR2rjIM English.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3Kt9-P2lOg "I Love You, My One and Only"]], the eighth remix, is a song about [[TearJerker unrequited love]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2t5gKTUO64 "Beautiful One Day"]], the ninth remix is also a really cool pop song. A feel-good change of pace after Remix 8.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdxhgJJTi0g Remix 10,]] which even includes the ''tutorial level''. It has the nerve to trip you up with a FakeOutFadeOut TWICE at the end of the track.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq8qsSUn2Oo "Dreams of Our Generation"]], the Night Walk theme, works great as an ending song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFDYiCFbCTo Air Rally,]] a wonderfully upbeat tune best known for "Ba bom bom bom!" People who played the previous game will get goosebumps when the music shifts into Rhythm Rally's music.
* The beautiful funkiness of two-player endless game [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9Ym3PiDf5Y Kung-Fu Ball.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75RmYSxfhV4 Samurai Slice,]] is an incredibly intense and epic piece perfect for slicing demons in half. Special mention goes to its more techno-based and heavily energetic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtFB9jtVbHU sequel.]]

* Fan Club 2, while identical to the one in ''DS'' in term of cues, has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkWHIIJ110Y brand-new remix]] of "Thrilling! Is This Love?" that's incredibly cheery.
* Because of the sheer amount of minigames, this game features ''three'' FinalExamBoss remixes instead of just one, named the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTzq_FfBYtA Left-Hand]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uZi4NKgnbw Right-Hand]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFJLVFwj5nw Final Remixes]]. Final Remix stands out for switching to a medley of the four games' respective themes halfway through. The gag of including Rhythm Test is also brought back here.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jQUVSEkR-M "Kitties!"]] is a delightfully jazzy saxophone and piano tune. Of course, some people can't hear it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgtXAD6-RiY without the sound effects]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LzAD4XvCxM Sumo Brothers]] mixes the traditional Japanese style with techno.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucz32kaXCG4 Blue Bear]] is a melancholy song that hits all of the right marks.
* On the other hand, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSScqzorbo8 Pajama Party]] is a heartwarming song in a similar vein to Love Lab from ''Heaven''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpiYbCMEyic "I'm a Lady Now"]] is the only vocal Remix in the entire game (in the English version at least). Unlike other songs, this one was in English to begin with, and it's actually SurprisinglyGoodEnglish.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH_ZqvxTj3g Karate Man Senior]] is an intense rock song befitting of both the culmination of all the Karate Man levels as well as the final non-Remix level.

* Every song from ''Tengoku'' has completely remastered audio, as opposed to just having the songs in their original form like the other games. While the songs' compositions stay exactly the same, they certainly sound a lot better. Examples include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2dcI3RaIiM Cosmic Dance]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5WjVXEUui4 Sick Beats]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOPWtDLoE_o Rhythm Tweezers 2]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8Hl55zKcsk Karate Man Returns!]]
* Not a rhythm minigame, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiuzxJqb9iM the theme for the Challenge Train]] deserves a mention for its techno rave beats that many players tend to ignore.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyli_hMAUm0 Micro-Row]] is a short but sweet jazzy tune.
* As for story variants, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcVttrqIJMU Shoot-‘em-up]] has a great tune, too. Sadly, it’s very short.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sokq_huvBis Ringside]] -- probably the most famous song of the entire series. It is also a very catchy and energetic song to boot that is only enhanced by the vocals. Wubba dubba dub, is that true? Yeah.

* If we must talk about fanmade remixes, the [[https://youtu.be/B08Kq_0fkIA Nico Nico Douga Ryuuseigen Custom Remix]] should be discussed.
