Best Soundtrack Contest - Mk III

[canderson]

Darn. ='(

I'll go with Un-Gravitify.

I like this topic. =)

[SefHighwind]

I'm going with Un-Gravitify for this vote. This song is so damn catchy, that once it gets stuck in my head it will never leave. That my friend is an example of a great song.

Besides, it's always fun trying to figure out the words to the song.

[Blue Kirby]

Un-gravitify!!!

[Phos]

Aquatic Time.

The only tracks in this game with any quality are the track tracks, and I can only vote on one of those.

[JezMM]

About 11 hours and a half remaining. Un-Gravitify is totally winning at the moment. And because I'm bored I shall briefly talk about the tracks I voted for before:

Catch Me If You Can - While it was tough between this and Un-Gravitify, I voted this one as it blew me away slightly more when I first heard it. The original version was okay, but this one had such a more awesome tune. Absoloutely loved it. I even loved it when I first heard the instrumental version and was like "Wow, this is the coolest options menu music ever".

Through Traffic - Such an epic opening stage theme. I wish the impact of it wasn't quite ruined by the tutorial spouting the opening 30 seconds at you each time before you played the first stage proper.

Dive Into Gravity - Really cool "final stage" theme simply for the fact that it isn't incredibly epic. It's just... cool sounding. I really love one of the sections in it, but find it too hard to describe really to pinpoint what section it is. I think it's literally the last one before the track repeats though.

The Core - Really like this track, the different sections all span across different "genres" of the final boss music which was great. A hopeful, epic sounding bit, an evil sounding bit, a tense sounding bit... very awesome. And those horns that sound like elephants! Awesome stuff. I was glad those returned in Unleashed's boss themes.

Windmill Island Suburbs (This one is missing from your list... and the OST)

I did actually remember it at the last second, but was silly enough to figure no-one would vote for it... either way, since it's basically a minimalistic version of Windmill Isle Day, it practically counts as the same track really in the same way I previously counted the "pinch" versions of boss themes in the advance games as the same track as the regular non-pinch boss theme. I'll edit the choices to reflect that.

If I can't vote for it separately, I'd rather change it to Savannah Citadel. I don't like the regular version that much.

Eggmanland Night. I didn't really like the night themes as a whole, but if I had to choose my favorite, Eggmanland would be it.

[savvn]

Windmill isle night for the tie braker.

Apotos - Night

Tornado Defense: 1st Battle

"Opening"

When it comes down to choosing just one, it's tough... but I'm gonna be boring and go for the main theme, Endless Possibility. Though super special mention must go to the last boss and Tornado Defense. The former is just damn epic, especially thanks to the quiet almost sad bit just before the loop, and the latter just brought such a smile to my face. Gameplay wise it's not much, but in terms of sound and aesthetics, the first Torando stage was one of my favourite parts of the game. Gorgeous.

[Semi-colon e]

I hate how the main themes nearly always win, it's really boring.

And Tornado Defense 1.
