Is there a video game music more cheerful than the bike theme from Pokémon X & Y?

[DrHercouet]

Come on. Give it a listen. You may not like 6th gen but you have to admit it had some stellar tracks.




It's impossible for me not to smile or not to feel lighter when I listen to this track. It's so happy, cheerful, blissful. Gosh, this tune actually feels like riding a bike on a sunny saturday afternoon with your friends when you're 10.

I admit, the title is a bit clickbaity, but if you know any cheerful music (more or less than this bike theme, I'm not picky) please feel free to post it in this thread. We could all do with a extra bit of joy today, so let's do just that.

 

[Greaf]

The soundtrack from X&Y is awesome, one of the best from the license

 

[Benzychenz]

C'mon Globox you should know better.

 

[Tambini]

 

[Rodrigues solitaire]

Any David fuckin' Wise track.

Sums up my position in the OP! This track rocks, thanks for reminding me of it!

 

[Linde]

amazing soundtrack

 

[Flon]

This song makes me happy.

 

[Blackie]

That's a really catchy tune! :)

But what about Earthbound's bike theme??

[behOemoth]

The whole score of LittleBigPlanet was superb and cheerful, but I just thought about Vib-Ribbon

 

[Deleted member 51539]

Any David fuckin' Wise track.

In special

 

[Tiny Chihuahueño]

Yes:

 

[mclem]

How about both adventurous *and* cheerful?

 

[PettySpirit]

Turn on any Kirby game. Any one at all.

 

[mprthr]

Short but sweet - the mini game music from Kirby's Dream Land 3

 

[Strings]

EDIT: Also my favourite version of the main theme, which is probably the objectively correct answer to the thread:

 

[HMS_Pinafore]

Jump UP Superstar is my go to song when I'm feeling down.

 

[lazerfox]

I regularly listen to this. It just brightens my mood whenever I hear it.

 

[Zalman]

God I love X/Y's soundtrack. One of the greats.

 

[Shadoken]

A lot of the older Sonic games had really fun tracks.

 

[Vector]

Yup this is it, the cheeriest piece of VGM I've ever heard.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I don't know about more cheerful, but this always feels comforting.



I guess a more cutesy cheerful version of that:

 

[Deleted member 401]

How about the bike theme from Pokemon Diamond & Pearl?

 

[Leo]

It's pretty dull compared to the bike themes of the other games. The best for me is gen 4, it brings a great sense of wonder.

Gen 6 best tracks are the battle themes (bar the gym leader theme), all the rest is meh.

Thank you for this thread DrHercouet. I had an absolutely dreadful night, so it's very appreciated to listen to things that might help life spirits even a little bit.

Not too much to contribute to the thread, but this song always puts a smile on my face. Can't wait to hear it rerecorded!

 

[Siresly]

Yuzo Koshiro may have composed both of these. Shenmue 2 had a bunch of composers, so I dunno.

 

[Elyian]

I'd say most of the chocobo themes take the cake for me, but these two in particular are just great.

 

[texhnolyze]

My fav Chocobo.

 

[steviestar3]

Only Yoshi can make child abduction sound so gleeful.

 

[RROCKMAN]

Yeah naw, that bike theme is weaksauce within its own series lol. Hell even Earthbound had a better bike theme

 

[gappvembe]

 

[data west]

I was thinking of a different Nights tune:

 

[Watchtower]

 

[Deleted member 4262]

Costa del Sol is both relaxing and cheerful.



I also think Penelo's theme from FFXII is pretty cheerful/optimistic.

 

[Bossanova]

Yup, when I think of cheerful vg music, this is the one that instantly comes to mind.

 

[Deleted member 25140]

Sonic and the Secret Rings has such an underrated soundtrack, this music is as cheery as it gets

 

[The Shadow Knight]

Spring Breeze Precia, from Super Robot Wars OG/Masoukishin.
It appears in multiple forms across multiple titles, with the one linked being the most recent incarnation AFAIK.

 

[Disorientator]

Lego City - Farm/Pig theme
