Get yourself the PC Engine version of that soundtrack.

Went phenomenally hard

I have @gaspard to thank for this next great track I found as he mentioned it as one of his favorites:  Soul Blade OST Heavenly Engage (Theme of Sophitia)

I thought I would append my introduction of this topic with another post from the great Abzu soundtrack by Austin Wintory - "Their Waters Were Mingled Together":

This track is from Ori and the Blind Forest - Ginso Tree Escape:

I recently became reacquainted with this track from Final Fantasy V by the great Nobuo Uematsu - Overworld Theme:

I found this track from Sonic Heroes - Mystic Mansion in a Super Mario World rom hack:

DuckTales - The Amazon:  (found in a Super Mario World rom hack)

Super Princess Peach - Giddy Sky:  (also found in a Super Mario World rom hack)

Kirby's Dream Land 3 - Ripple Field 1:  (found in an SMW rom hack)

I found this original music in a SMW rom hack - "Neo Beat":

DuckTales - Journey To The Very End - The Moon (SNES remix):  (also found in an SMW rom hack)

Brainlord - Road to Droog (Remix):  (found in an SMW rom hack)

Braid has a pretty nice soundtrack! I suppose it's style is a little classical, but it sets a great mood.

Going in another direction, Life is Strange has a nice soundtrack too. You have Jonathan Morali's sweet guitar, and then there's Daughter writing heavy impact music for Before The Storm (song like, but not quite):

Sutte Hakkun Music - Stage 5 (found in a SMW rom hack):

Super Adventure Island - Ice Groove (found in a SMW rom hack):  (I think this track demonstrates how you can effectively use blue notes to imply the Locrian mode)

A few months ago I discovered the Moonlighter Soundtrack (I've never played the game) and I fell in love. While all music gets old when you overlisten to it (which I did), I still appreciate this song, my favorite one from the OST:

I like how this song can evoke such a brave and exploratory emotion with mostly diatonic harmony. I have been one to overobsess over fancy chromatic harmony, and this song has proven that amazing things can be done with diatonic harmony. From my knowledge, the only borrowed chord is the V chord, which is expected.

Twisted metal goes hard

I found this track in a Super Mario World rom hack:  Underworld Forest - Last Bible III:

Here's another one I found in a SMW rom hack.  This is actually from a Wendy's (the fast food joint popular in the U.S.) training video from like the 80's:  Wendy's Hot Drinks - by Marvin Hawkins and Toby Fox:

And another one from an SMW rom hack:  Lancer - Deltarune by Toby Fox:

Also discovered this lyric video in an SMW rom hack port:  OK Goodnight - The Fox and the Bird:

Found this track from Last Bible III - Bullton Tower in a SMW rom hack:

Another one from Last Bible III - Felest Tower.  Also found in a SMW rom hack (race levels):
