I was listening to my playlist of video game best songs, and I realized that there is probably a ton of hidden gems that I never listened due to never playing the game or never paid attention to.

So I would love to hear what songs you recommend: either from barely mentioned games or soundtracks from known games that you think are underrated.

The ost for the original Mother is the quintessential example of 'they didn't need to go this hard.' For a Famicom game, they hired a rock musician to compose the score, who then went and made an entire album - lyrics and all - and collaborated with one of Nintendo's top musicians to simplify it down for an 8-bit cartridge.
