...Whoa, way too much already (and yes I did need to be that specific).
Also honorary mention to Mega Man games for just having all-round awesome music in it.
I like some of the orchestral music from Star Fox Assault. Star Wolf's theme is my favorite from that game!
Miror B. has a groovy battle theme in Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness.
The Mega Man series and Advance Wars series have good music as well.
But I really can't decide which is my absolute favorite of all time. I'd have to say that all Kingdom Hearts music comes very close. The new tracks from 358/2 Days and Birth By Sleep are really up there, I'd say.Your layout has been removed.
Yoshi's Island- Castle: Easily my favorite castle theme from the entire Mario series. It just had such an eerie, chilling feel to it that set it apart from other castle themes.
Golden Sun- Venus Lighthouse: A grand and epic theme for the final dungeon. Had a real heroic nature to it.
Golden Sun: The Lost Age- Mars Lighthouse: Also the final dungeon theme, this time, it had a very haunting feeling with a great sense of danger.
Golden Sun: The Lost Age- Tropical Island- A simple, but soothing tropical theme.
Sonic CD- Metallic Madness (Bad Future): A rocked out theme for the final level.
Phoenix Wright: Justice For All: Search ~ Core 2002: The perfect fit for a mysterious and evil character. The part when it was first heard in the game was highly appropriate, as it played just as a certain character showed their true, darker side. An epic pairing of a plot twist and music.
I have a few:
Underground Theme - Super Mario Land: This song is just really catchy to me.
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: Anything from this game. It just has awesome music.
Terranigma: This game also has awesome music.
Mute City - F-Zero: This song is just epic.
There's some more that I cannot think of of the top of my head, but I'll edit this post if I think of them.
Probably Dr Wily's Castle in Megaman 2. Love it. I probably have more but I don't remember anything.Why not go to my Youtube channel?
Every single piece of music from Ace Attorney Investigations.
Seiken Densetsu 3: Sacrifice Part 3, Ancient Dolphin.
DKC Series: Fear Factory ;Mining Melancholy & Bad Bird Rag; Nuts and Bolts.
Earthbound: Battle Against a Machine, Kraken of the Sea, The Deep Darkness, Pokey means Business.
Kunio no Kun no Dodgeball Zenin Shuugo: Moon.
LoZ Ocarina of Time: Ganondorf Battle.
SM64: Ultimate Koopa.
M&L Series: Popple Battle & Final Cackletta Battle; Thwomp Caverns, Bowser's Battle & Final Battle; Last Fawful Battle.
I tend to like last battle songs for whatever reason. :S

-Castlevania Symphony of the Night
-Megaman X6
-Tales of Symphonia
-Paper Mario 1 & 2

Yeah, myst has the best soundtracks IMO. Too bad people don't know it that much.Our world will stop advancing once humans manage to create sufficient magnificence for a whole lifetime. Until then, I just create. Awesome video game music on my youtube channel
Mine are:
Yoshi's Island - Castle
Spyro, Attack of the Rhynocs - Miniboss/Boss
Super Mario Sunshine - Boss/Miniboss
Sonic Adventure DX - Final Boss
For some reason, I can't think of many of them right now, but Song of Healing is definitely my favourite piece of video game music ever. The Hidden Village is also pretty awesome. One of the only parts of Twilight Princess that is awesome and not a boss battle.
Most music from a Rareware game is pretty awesome, but more specifically:
Banjo-Kazooie: Mad Monster Mansion
Diddy Kong Racing: Haunted Woods, Spaceport Alpha, Battle Music (Fire Mountain, etc.)
Jet Force Gemini: Rith Essa, SS Anubis
because I have those games. Some other non-Rareware stuff that's pretty awesome:
Earthbound: Kraken of the Sea, Pokey Means Business
Tetrisphere: None really stand out that much, but there are some pretty coolish techno things in there
There's probably a heap of stuff that I can't remember right now.May we meet again outside the battlefield.

Man, this game was so underrated. It had some excellent tracks.
Also, I believe I stated in an older thread that my favorite VG track ever is this (Nobles' Causeway from Everquest). Something about it is almost magical in the way it can affect me.
Other tracks I like (there are tons, but I'll keep it short), in no particular order:
Wonder Panorama - Mega Man ZX
Giants' Cry - La-MuLANA
Silver Samurai - Phoenix Wright
Fusion, Descent - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Northern Country Kamui I - Okami
An Empty Tome - Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Northwall - Actraiser
Tubelectric - Jazz Jackrabbit
tried to be as non-mainstream as possible. seriously, they are all awesome tracks. check them out.
