"Hey, (game song) is totally a copy of (non-game song)!"

I think you mean Hydrean's Wrath, the piece that plays when fighting the Leviathan:
It's more audible here perhaps, but the same motif is in both songs. This one has a more dissimilar overall sound to me though.
Earthbound is pretty well known for its musical references and sampling.
There's actually a very good video about the sampling shenanigans
Special mention to the track "The Hill that Time Forgot", that track is incredibly unsettling.

Pretty similar melody with
Dragon Age Inquisition's main theme
And Pippin's song from Return of the King

The Mother series does this a lot, but it's probably intentional.
God Dammit, that's going to be stuck in my head all day now (I freaking love this intro)
I was going to bring up Doom, but I can't remember exactly what songs were "inspired" by what. Someone remembers...
edit: Ah, it's in post 37
It seemed like everyone knew about it but didn't care until he started ripping off like Terminator movies and Avatar (the movie) rather than old obscure music from the 80s.
Yeah. Kenji Yamamoto lost his job as a result of the blantant plagiarism. He was becoming the go to guy for Dragon Ball music before shit went south for him.
That section is in the first Zillion and was actually in the theme for the anime.
Here is the better SMS version:
MASK is older but I think the songs are sufficiency different. I really like the Zillion music and I did enjoy just listening to the music on the MASK C64 game, though, so maybe that means something.
Oh yeah! Something I just remembered that smacked me in the face when I was a kid when I noticed it.
Blake Stone music for the second level (I think it's the second level)
https://youtu.be/5eHkjPCGXKQ?t=10 Led Zeppelin "The Immigrant Song" (edit: tried two different videos, neither allow embeds)
I didn't know about this other song though, I've seen people say that the main riff is just a copy for this song from Bach Turner Overdrive which seems to check out.

I went to a Guns and Roses concert 3 times and every time they play My Michelle I remember of Megaman X.
Orbital Ring Systems Cargo Bay from TvC, which is probably the best song in the game:
It's basically Better Off Alone:
It also sounds similar to a song I'd never heard of until I read the comments called Played A-Live (The Bongo Song) but it takes a minute:

Bherna theme from MH Generations:
Sounds like part of John Petrucci's Wishful thinking:
(start at 0:26)

Can't hear it at all. There are like three similar notes, maybe, but there's no possible way one is a rip of the other.
For some reason, a lot of the game music I've listened to has a melody that's a straight ripoff of The Flintstones theme song.
OP

Are you kidding? It's like the same chorus. Like note for note.
There's actually quite a few in Yakuza 0:
is basically a giant reference to:
Also
Is very reminiscent of:
Also Jimi Hendrix!
Uematsu loves his blatant homages, though...(can't get the video to work, but Dancing Mad is a homage to, amongst other things, Emerson Lake and Palmer)
Easy Lover by Philip Bailey & Phil Collins
Stage 2 in Double Dragon 2
The arranged version is just blatant.

Yeah! It's weird how many songs totally steal from The Flintstones. It has to be the most widespread conspiracy I've ever witnessed.
I think this is just someone who remixed the original track to make it sound like Flintstones as a meme based on as you said, how a lot of them sounds like Flintstones, haha.
The second part of the Vs. England track in Super Dodge Ball sounds like a variation on A Hard Day's Night, which makes sense because Britain. The first part is a faster variation on Get Back, though that wasn't immediately clear to me.
Like, here is the original. And you still can't unhear the Flintstones, lol.
There are similarities in the buildups in Seizure of Power (Resident Evil Movie Soundtrack) and BFG Division (Doom soundtrack).
It's only a quick 4-5 second thing, but when I listen to one it always makes me want to listen to the other.

lol a little OT, but Banarama also "paid homage" to Michael Fortunati's Give me up as well:
Link because fuck YouTube
for comparison:
