I honestly can't think of one definitive song. More like 3/4 the OST combined.

Also, I spoke kind of quickly. I also have to consider Final Fantasy VI. Its the one Uematsu OST where every song is memorable. No wonder he had a breakdown after doing it.

>>321150193
Mario Paint

Chrono Trigger

Mitsuda is amazing for comfy songs
Uematsu is better at hype songs

Both combined you get the best OST in SNES

CT, EB, Seiken Densetsu 3, SMRPG or Kirby Super Star are the very best for me.

Rock n' roll racing

>>321153191

Problem is, Uematsu's songs are the weaker part of the CT soundtrack. One song is even a total ripoff of a Joe Hisaishi song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7WsEMd0S3s

But I guess I can't point fingers since Mitsuda ripped off another famous song with Robo's Theme.

The SNES in general had a great sound system in general, and a lot of the quality games had soundtracks to match. Obviously all the Squaresoft games had great soundtracks FFMQ is underrated as fuck.

OgreBattle and TacticsOgre were also top-notch (I've always been sad that TacticsOgre was never ported to the SNES especially since the SuperFamicom soundtrack was better than the PS1 version).

Shadowrun also had an underrated soundtrack.

Literally the most overrated SNES game this side of Chrono Trigger.

Doesn't mean either game has a bad OST.

But you're also an idiot since both games are great.

It probably wouldn't be as overrated had it come out a year or two earlier, but fans of it had to scream for people to play it.

It's still pretty good despite being an entry level RPG.

Trying to think of SNES games other than DKC1/2 that used the sound chip in a technical manner to achieve their results.

Too many SNES games just used samples like their were basic MIDI instruments.

Chrono Trigger is the only correct answer.

A special mention, however, goes to Plok.

Mario Paint. You can compose any soundtrack you want.

Plok is good, i might try to pick up a copy just to see where they place that song in the game. Plus i hear it's a nice little platforming gem.

All three snes donkey kong country games have some amazing pieces of music

Final Fantasy has some ok music
Super Mario is pretty Iconic

My favorite snes soundtrack is probably the Secret of Mana series
