Man the soundtrack alone could get me to play Katamari games. I got a birthday gift card recently and was deciding what game to get, when one of the OSTs came up on YT Music and I listened to it for like a week straight. Immediately got We ❤️ Katamari + DLC on 80% sale.
My time has come. As someone who almost exclusively listens to instrumental soundtrack from movies and games, including from games I have never played, these are the ones that most often get stuck in my head (in no particular order). A plus “+” indicates a song that got stuck in my head regularly before I ever played the game, while an asterisk “*” indicates a song that still gets stuck in my head, despite being from a game I have never played at all.
Baba Yetu - Civ IV (+)
Hyrule Castle - Breath Of The Wild (+)
Lorule Castle - Link Between Worlds (*)
One Final Effort - Halo 3 (*)
Golem King - Moonlighter
Song of the Ancients - Nier Series (*)
Dragonborn - Skyrim
Far Horizons - Skyrim (+)
Dragon Roost Island - Wind Waker (*)
Nate’s Theme - Uncharted (*)
Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy (*)
Korobeiniki - Tetris (+)
Gerudo Valley - Ocarina of Time (+)
Colgera Battle - Tears of the Kingdom
This Song - The Witcher 3 (It’s the song Aen Seidhe, but without vocals)
Bloody Tears - Castlevania (*)
But finally, the song that I credit with making me obsessed with instrumental soundtrack, because I fell asleep with it playing on repeat for a whole night at the age of 5, and then lost the game cartridge, so I forgot what it was from, and which I would get stuck in my head roughly once a month throughout my entire childhood until I finally found the song THIRTEEN YEARS LATER:
Doom E1M1 on my soundblaster and my Roland MT-32, all pumped through my surround sound system in my concrete dorm room in late 1992 and I won’t hear otherwise.

Minecraft by C418 lives rent free in my head. Sometimes i’ll start humming it to myself and not even realize
megalovania is one of the badasses in my book
DuckTales (NES) - Moon Theme. The covers are also awesome.
MOON - Hydrogen From Hotline Miami. I’m noticably better at the game when this one is on.
I’m just gonna leave this gem here.

OG Super Mario NES, World 1-1
Those first 6 notes of 1-2 tho…
What kind of overalls does Mario wear?
Denim denim denim🎵
For some reason the SMB2 theme song is stuck in my head all the time. Something about the jazziness of it.
NA NANANA NANAANANA NA KATAMARI DAMACY
I recently obtained a unicorn of a CRT and have been replaying this

Could scream that shit in my car honestly.
Tetris
Tetris Theme A.
There are better pieces of music in this thread, but this one is the strongest earworm.
My brain defaults to this if I feel the need to fill silence with sound.
This is one of the songs I hum to myself to get rid of more annoying earworms
It’s an old one, but the Outrun soundtrack was proper catchy.
Splash Wave, Passing Breeze, or Magical Sound Shower?

Ω) Town Theme - Final Fantasy II
Lost woods.
Honestly anything from OoT, but Lost Woods, Kakariko Villiage, and Gerudo Valley in particular are ingrained into my gray matter.
Doom E1M1 on my soundblaster and my Roland MT-32, all pumped through my surround sound system in my concrete dorm room in late 1992 and I won’t hear otherwise.
E1M1 is great, top tier music.
The level clear screen music, E2M8, E1M8, and E1/2M9 tracks are all other top tier track contending for the throne.
Doom II introduced a few more bangers too, but I’m not as able to call the level codes to mind off the top of my head.
Portal - Still Alive
Hell March from Red Alert

I can hear this comment
Yeah that’s why I didn’t link it. I can hear the riff and even play the riff on guitar on a moments notice
Friend says “play me something” and I immediately play that riff
🤘
Klepacki is an excellent score writer
