Great Snow Level Music

[Kiwifeathers]

Seriously? No Ape Escape snow level music yet? Maybe I'm biased because I love these game's soundtracks.

and

and from Ape Escape 3 this one in particular;

There are some others from memory but these are the ones I could find.

EDIT: Can't get vids to work for some reason so links instead.

 

[Azriel Nightshade]

Gets my hyped every time.

An awesome track from an awesome game.

x2. Sometimes I would turn the game on and go to Phendrana Drifts so I could just stand there and listen to the music.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

This isn't actually a video game piece, but it was originally composed for an extremely snowy movie, and I always listen to it when I play through a snowy level:

 

[Lugbzurg]

Freezeezy Peak! Seriously, a snow-themed level is cool enough. But a Christmas-themed level!? Genius.

Banjo-Kazooie

Frogger Goes Skiing. Yeah, this music is also shared with the previous level, "Dark, Dark Cavern".

Frogger ("He's Back!"/1997)

Ice Cap Zone Rescue. Yes, this is a remix. But it's probably the best version of this theme I've ever heard.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles (OverClocked ReMix)

Ambient Airfield. It's also used in a jungle level near the end. My favorite track in my two favorite levels.

007: NightFire (PC Version)

Mountain Village. Yeah... Let's go with this creepy place! (There are creepier places, like Ikana Canyon and The Moon.)

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

Ohh boy does Diddy Kong Racing have you covered here.

Hell- it's just like Christmas itself:


Good to see Mario 64 mentioned as well as Goldeneye's Surface 1 theme- though let's not sell Surface 2 short here- a rare snow level at night:


Actually Goldeneye has a few snow levels, like Dam, but I think Runway's music fits a snowy theme quite well too:


Captcha: Play it again, sam.

Why yes, I think I just might.

 

[Peahats]

Can't go wrong with some Zelda:
Four Swords Adventures - Frozen Hyrule http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqD2ez9dsuU

I saw that Phendrana Drifts was mentioned earlier, but we can't forget the dance club version:
Metroid Prime - Phendrana's Edge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE6mgczeQRo

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Lots of good ones I remember:

Spoiler

My favourite Ice robot master theme
Best mountain theme in the series
And the reason why the music should be soothing

 

[LittleMountain]

I am shocked and appalled that FFX was mentioned but not the Macalania Lake theme


EDIT: Can't believe I almost forgot to mention Chapter 7 of the first Paper Mario. Every track from the chapter is great and wintery, and it was horrible choosing only one, but here's the Shiver Mountain theme.

 

[Squilookle]

This isn't actually a video game piece, but it was originally composed for an extremely snowy movie, and I always listen to it when I play through a snowy level:

While that is one of my favourite pieces of music of all time, and it enhances many aspects of the original, being snowy isn't really one of them. It's too technical and electric to be snowy. If you want snowy it's better to stick to the original Ski Chase music.


Or you could even just go the main theme for more snowy goodness:

 

[Spider RedNight]

It conveys the point of sadness and kind of an underlying death theme. Or something. Just somber and quiet. (Yeahh... I'm no master at embedding videos. If this isn't right, I'm gonna edit it)

For some reason I always think of the old games first.

TehCookie gets a cookie.

Since my fav has been listed... how about some mega man ice levels?


And another for fun.


Bit curious now; 'Ice level music' is an old concept; who has the oldest tune up so far?

 

[Starik20X6]

Really? No love for Frappe Snowland?

-snip-

The Brawl version of that song is fantastic.

 

[Roxor]

It seems that MS-DOS is woefully under-represented here.

The first planet, Ymir, from Terminal Velocity is a pretty nice ice level.


Not sure if Crythania (the next planet in the game) counts as ice, but the music has a similar sound to it.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

Uh... how do I embed?

 

[ERS86]

Definitely one of my favorites, and hasn't been mentioned yet. Also, the entire soundtrack is mind-blowingly aweseomsauce!

From Scott Pilgrim vs the World: Another Winter

 

[major_chaos]

from Terminal Velocity

Did you just link the terminal velocity soundtrack? You are now my favorite person on the escapist.

OT: as always in these threads I'll post a few that are slightly more obscure than the obvious answers

[Ravinoff]

I don't quite know if this counts, but hearing this start up when you're walking the coast from Solitude to Winterhold is just awesome.

 

[scorptatious]

Makes me feel so peaceful.
