HAY GUYS

Listening to good NES and Game Boy credits songs/ending themes gives me a feeling like no other. You know, they start off slow, maybe even a bit sad/retrospective, then the drums come in, and it turns into a nice upbeat tune that gives you that wonderful feel-good feeling. And the well-done ones just sound classic, even if you've never played the game. If you have, the feeling is even stronger, as you think about the experience you had playing the game (often strengthened by nostalgia).

Well, that's how it is for me anyway. What about you guys? Also, what are your favorite chiptune ending themes?

Here are some that I really like (not that varied, I know):

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (GB) - Staff Roll:

Same thing here, I love chiptune ending songs, they're probably the most emotional out of the whole soundtrack.

I must have listened to the Super Mario Land ending theme tons of times back in the day, I still remember it by heart.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The Kid Icarus staff roll has always been one of my favorite ending themes of all time.

The GameBoy version of Contra has a great ending tune.
Great melody, uplifiting mood, and satisfying accomplishment.

(also if you haven't heard it, the "Konami Ending Collection" album is full of only ending tunes, from multiple platforms)

I was speaking idiomatically.

The only one I can recall having a lot of fondness for is the ending theme of SMB3. It starts with the classic Princess Toadstool theme before breaking out into a wonderfully upbeat and yet also emotional tune.

Also, although not as primitive a chiptune, the ending theme from Streets of Rage 2 always brings a smile. That's as far as I can go before going into SNES era stuff, which as has been debated over before, is probably too much of a transitional period to be considered chiptune for the purposes of this sort of thing.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
