Awesome Music / Yoshi's Island

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

• The music from the fight with Mega Baby Bowser at the end is one of the Mario franchise's first forays into heavier styles of music - and it is awesome. They turned to Heavy Metal for this one, and the result is pure, concentrated intensity and energy for the final fight against the now souped-up and giant Baby Bowser. TerraZero0 brings us a rockin' remaster. The music that plays after defeating him wraps up an intense fight with a short yet triumphant victory tune.
• The castle boss theme kicks some serious butt! Just feel the tingle shoot up your spine when the rock organ kicks in at 0:29.
• Sure, it might not be badass or, for some, even fit for a boss fight, but try the mini-boss fight music - playful yet with slight urgency.
• The Castle/Fortress theme is perhaps the fortressiest in the series, as well as one of the fortressiest video game tracks period.
• The theme that plays in the rooms before boss battles has quite the intense build-up to get to who you're facing.
• The stage select theme is simple, but catchy. As the player defeats more bosses, the music gradually becomes more elaborate and awesome, adding instruments like strings and drums.
• The title screen theme starts off gradually with the sounds of nature, which soon segues into its pleasant main melody - conveying both peacefulness and adventure. It was used again when the now-grown Mario found Yoshis on another island, and given an edge of panic when he had to, in a neat little inverse, go help a bunch of multi-colored baby Yoshis return to THEIR families.
• Fast and fun as ever, the game's athletic theme rolls in the same jauntiness of all athletic themes before it.
• Flower Garden is tied with the Athletic theme as the game's most iconic tune. This song is 100% joyfulness all throughout, with its harmonica solo being especially memorable. This remix from Sonic Lost World is pretty awesome.
• Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy. Touch Play, Get Earworm - this track delivers in its catchy melodies and jungle rhythm.
• The game's underground theme has a sadder mood than the other tracks and gloomier than most other Mario underground themes. It's also used as a ground theme for World 6.
• The Ending Credits music. A beautiful, slow and emotional theme symbolizing a journey's end which may leave you needing tissues.
• The opening cutscene theme strikes an emotional chord with some gamers with its soft, music box lullaby sound. One can almost imagine the Mario Bros.' future parents playing it before they go to bed as they await the delivery of their children (the fact that the melody slows to a stop and has to be rewound midway through only adds to this).

Yoshi Touch & Go

• For a simple tech demo, this game has some really good music. This remix of Flower Garden is the most well-known theme.
• This beautiful and relaxing theme plays when you're controlling Baby Mario.

Yoshi's Island DS

• Yoshi's Island DS has even more awesome music, like the Beach/Sea Coast music, which is a tropical rendition of the game's main theme that is as happy as usual.
• The the temple/jungle theme has a lush, serene vibe to it, and can be considered a slower counterpart to the first game's Jungle/Above-Ground music.
• The ending theme is a slow lullabylike theme incorporating the main theme into it - it truly feels as the journey has ended.
• The Wildlands theme. If you didn't think a Yoshi game would have an adventurous-sounding wild western rodeo theme, think again. The bouncy nature of the song will have you shouting "Yee-haw!" like a cowboy or happy prospector at some point.
• This epic remix of the Super Star theme is a more playful rendition of the song, but still retains the spirit.
• The title screen music for the game starts off with typical beach sounds and after a while plays a soothing melody of the game's theme that plays during certain levels while giving a relaxed tropical feel.

Yoshi's New Island

• Yoshi's New Island, like many other Yoshi games, has multiple variations of the main theme played throughout the game:
  • The ground theme features a mellow and relaxing whistle-led rendition.
  • The underground theme is a slow electronic variation of the theme.
  • The athletic theme is another gentle version of the piece, this time featuring guitar strumming and the main melody played on a piano.
• Kamek's boss theme starts out similarly to the classic Hammer Bros. theme but then launches into a quirky, energetic, yet slightly sinister tune that fits the Magikoopa perfectly.
• One of the better tracks in the game is the variation of the series' invincibility theme which pays homage to the original SNES game. Bumped up when picking up a Red Yoshi Star.

Yoshi's Woolly World

• Simple and jazzy Sponge Cave Spelunking. The song manages to be simultaneously upbeat and chilled-out at the same time.
• The Desert Pyramid Beckons! sounds exactly like its setting.
• Lava Scarves and Red-Hot Blarggs with its 1970s rock sound.
• Extremely catchy Shy But Deadly will have you grooving or relaxing to the beautiful rhythm in no time.
• Spiky Stroll is a very laid back and relaxing track that never fails to put one in a good mood. Never has a pan flute sounded so wonderful.
• Scarf-Roll Scamper is a very funky and energetic track befitting the very imaginative level it's found in.
• Spooky Scraps! Don't Get Spooked! is one of the franchise's scariest tunes, having a very discordant, haunting melody befitting a ghost house.
• Fluffy Snow, Here We Go! is the snow world song that sounds like should have been used in a commercial. Sure to make you jam out or your money back guaranteed!
• Frozen Solid and Chilled is a more upbeat, adventurous ice theme, giving off a feel of entering freezing territory, such as the North Pole or Antarctica.
• A Little Light Snowfall is a very magical, heartwarming theme that sounds like something you would hear from a Christmas Episode of a TV show. Merry Christmas!
• Up Shuttlethread Pass is a calm winter theme, compared to the other World 5 themes. It's a great song to listen to inside by the fire on a cold winter day.
• Vs Snifberg the Unfeeling, an incredibly intense, percussion heavy, techno-like song. The music is synced up to the action in the fight, having a specific piece loop depending on where in the boss's attack patterns the player is. The full version blends all the specific loops together rather impressively.
• Lair of the Smooch Spiders begins your adventure into the final world of the game with a whimsical yet very unsettling theme that's sure to give you chills upon first hearing it. The harpsichord and harp mixed with intense percussion and strings gives it a very Halloween-esque vibe.
• The theme for the room you have to endure before you fight Baby Bowser is just hauntingly beautiful.
• The special stages are extremely tricky, but it is worth it to hear the fast and energetic music throughout.
• As difficult as the Wonderful World of Wool is, it's worth it for the music, especially Wonderful World of Wool 3, which is a very trippy yet whimsical electronic track.
• The Scrapbook Theatre theme is a wonderful sounding track that's sure to make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside.
