''VideoGame/Gimmick1992'' was one of the few NES games with a special chip allowing for additional sound channels. Let's just say it used it to its advantage.

* [[https://youtu.be/OshyhWVquA0 Happy Birthday/Stage 1]] is incredibly happy and leaves a great first impression.
* [[https://youtu.be/4j4hDxfYz9Y Paradigm/Stage 4]] is a well-made composition, its beats are easily some of the catchiest.
* [[https://youtu.be/jLg_wbFvPOU Lion Heart/Stage 5]] is as serious as you would expect out of a late-game level, and it has an impressive bassline and good rhythm.
* [[https://youtu.be/uEz2CT3Qn00 Innocent/Stage 6 Part 1]] is cold sounding but relaxing, and fits the ice level perfectly.
* [[https://youtu.be/uWVkM9Ut1O8 Cadbury/Stage 6 Part 2]] has a fantastic intro and a really nice beat, helping a (fake) final level.
* [[https://youtu.be/URJ7pkk-sNo Just Friends/Secret Area]] has a sound that makes you just feel great for finding a secret area, and it can really get stuck in the head.
* [[https://youtu.be/u3xgKKo8TyU Aporia/Boss 1]] is fast-paced yet very nice to listen to, its only problem is being a bit wasted since early-game bosses will probably die before you can hear most of it.
* [[https://youtu.be/NhR3oukQaI4 Identity Believer/Boss 2]] is a great fit for late-game bosses, being tense yet fast paced and generally fun to listen to.
* [[https://youtu.be/ULUdjYngxxE Siesta/Bad Ending]] is very fitting for failing to beat the game with the good ending, with quite a depressing tune, hopefully motivating the player to try again.
* [[https://youtu.be/oR_CU_Ru9ZM Sophia (Take 2)/Stage 7]] is calm and delightful, allowing you to enjoy the BreatherLevel to the fullest.
* [[https://youtu.be/UEnxS6D83iE Long Tomorrow/Final Boss Phase 2]] is frantic and catchy, the best way to give the final battle an awesome feeling.
* [[https://youtu.be/7cvcHK4XBQo Good Night (Take 2)/Good Ending]] is very satisfying, especially for beating such a tough game.
* [[https://youtu.be/Knik6QqDJJ0 Strange Memories of Death]] is probably the crowning jewel of the OST, being catchy, very complex and multi-layered. Too bad it went unused, but at least it's available in the Sound Test.

* CultClassic: It's a hardcore platformer that
was one released at the end of the few NES games with a special chip allowing for additional sound channels. Let's just say it used it to its advantage.

people either don't know the game or derisively compare it to ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' -- which it ''predates''. Still, it is all-around competent and even people like Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto felt like it is worthy of praise.
-->"[[http://www.glitterberri.com/developer-interviews/making-mr-gimmick/ And there I was]], thinking I’d get a good response for making a next-gen game on the original Nintendo!"
* ItsHardSoItSucks: Back in the day the game got a poor score in the Famitsu magazine because of its difficulty.
* OlderThanTheyThink: A ''Kirby'' knockoff? Nope. This game was released 2-3 months before Kirby's debut.
* SurpriseDifficulty: NintendoHard is in full force here despite the cutesy aesthetic.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Not a lot of people are happy
with some changes made for the good ending, with quite a depressing tune, hopefully motivating the player to try again.

''exAct☆Mix'', such as the final battle an awesome feeling.

* [[https://youtu.be/Knik6QqDJJ0 Strange Memories of Death]] is probably the crowning jewel of the OST,
boss being catchy, very complex replaced by a completely different character.
* VindicatedByHistory: When the game was originally released, it got mixed or negative reviews due to its difficulty. Retrospective reviews were less harsh to it, however,
and multi-layered. Too bad it went unused, but at least nowadays it's available in the Sound Test.seen as a legitimately good game.
