Yuzo Koshiro/Awesome Music

Check here for more info.

"Viridi: That. Was. AWESOME.//"
 * His arguably most famous work is Streets of Rage. Here is the page
 * His work on the Shinobi games is also top shelf.
 * Super Adventure Island was released on SNES in 1992. This is what the in-game music sounds like. Let me just repeat that: this is a game that was released in 1992. If the Streets of Rage examples didn't prove that Yuzo Koshiro is a genius, this should.
 * The Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune soundtracks as a whole, produced by Yuzo Koshiro. This troper, who had played Wangan Midnight R, a game with a more orchestral soundtrack (also by Yuzo Koshiro), before coming to Maximum Tune, was absolutely blown away by "Maximum Acceleration" when he first heard it in Maximum Tune 's first stage.
 * "Get You Cornered" from Maximum Tune 3 can make many a racer shiver in fear the first time it's heard.
 * Not to mention the Blackbird's theme from the first game, "Destination Blackout".
 * Fillmore from Actraiser.
 * And this remix of it, which turns it into Crowning Music of Creepy that would not sound out of place in Castlevania.
 * Funny you should mention that... It just so happens he wrote the best clock tower theme in the series.
 * Actually let's add Bloodpool from ActRaiser as well.
 * Really, everything from Actraiser belongs here. Some of the better examples:
 * Northwall Tree, which is how you know you're in the Very Definitely Final Level.
 * Sacrifices, which is so calming that the player uses it as an item in the game itself to stop a civil war.
 * And the suitably epic final boss music, for your battle with Satan Tanzra.
 * Orchestral version of "Sacrifices?" /tear.
 * He also composed most of Ys I music and collaborated on Ys II. Check out the series page.
 * He also contributed a song to Dance Dance Revolution Supernova, You Gotta Move It.
 * If it is any indication, Etrian Odyssey has its own Crowning Music of Awesome page.
 * This Track, from Kid Icarus Uprising is one of this tropers favorite tracks in the game to put it in quotes:
