>>321152292

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

>>321152292
https://youtu.be/i_yYFWx8-Mk

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=wN85h3H0Sdk
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.

Beach alone shits all over all of the songs from any of the games in this thread, and it does it by using only 5 of the SNES's 8 sound channels.

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.

>>321154438
Literally the most overrated SNES game this side of Chrono Trigger.

>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.

And the characters are just great. I really think it has better humor than Earthbound even.

maybe not the best but Super Mario World's music is so unique compared to other snes games.

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.
>>
>>321153327
>Kirby Super Star

And Dreamland 3 always gets the short end of the stick.

Chrono Trigger is the only correct answer.

A special mention, however, goes to Plok.

How the hell did they do this on the SNES soundcard?

Tim Follin. The guy could make a Genesis sing too - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8wdVS2rLu0

>>321150193
Mario Paint. You can compose any soundtrack you want.

>>321162204
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

Hey, I'm guessing you're an underage faggot so I'll help you out. SNES and SFC are the exact same console and Tactics Ogre has an english patch available for it.
