Best Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 Music

A big reason we love Super Mario Galaxy 1-2 is because of music. I've mentioned in another list that Super Mario Galaxy has the best soundtrack in Video Game Industry. I'll be counting down our favorite soundtracks for Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Feel free to add any music that I may have forgotten.
The Top Ten
1 Gusty Garden Galaxy (SMG)

So majestic and amazing. I love it. I feel so peaceful listening to it. When I unlocked it in Super Smash Bros I made it that only good egg galaxy were and gusty garden the only songs. If I was an orchestra teacher I would play this and a lot of the Mario Galaxy Music. I love this song and Rosalinas theme in the observatory.

Although many consider this track "overrated," it is still one of, if not the best song I've ever heard in a video game. It's so lively, majestic, and beautiful that it's nigh impossible not to love. It already has a great remix in Super Mario 3D World called "Champion's Road".

The best music in gaming history. It is slightly overrated but still, it is an almost-perfect orchestrated masterpiece. Good on ya Nintendo

This track is so good. It's so good, it's used a LOT for remixes. Not only that, it sounds really nice.

2 Melty Molten Galaxy (SMG)

So many good things about this galaxy. It's challenging, and actually takes more than one attempt. The visuals and cinematics throughout the level are just amazing. It really adds to the atmosphere of the level and makes you feel like you are in a hell-ish area with much a stake. The missions are wide, each being very fun. Don't even get me started on the music. The wide variety of instruments and how they bounce off one another, and the great combination of orchestra and techno music makes you feel like they were meant to be. Many different parts with each rapidly approaching the turning point, like shooting away from the volcano. Each part of the level makes you want to come back for more, that's why it's deserving of the #1 spot.

Like every Lava based levels, the Galaxy itself it's so cool and challenging. But let's talk about the track. It feels so good when it reaches the EXPLOSION part. You know, that part you usually reach the volcano and then explodes. I don't even care if I keep failing the missions, because that's a good excuse why to listen to this track over and over.

Getting shot away from an exploding volcano while in between two stars in the background is one of the best moments in a video game.

Best. Mario. Music. Ever. Fin. This should be higher up on the list.

3 Buoy Base Galaxy (SMG)

The orchestral majesty of this song blows my mind. It is so intense and gets you pumped up for almost anything. I always picture an army of 1,000 men marching into battle to this theme. It definitely feels the most like space with all of the different synths and techno instruments. Truly a masterpiece.

This song is one of the best songs in Super Mario Galaxy but I think all SMG songs are the best

It feels like you're actually in space.

This took everyone by surprise.

4 Good Egg Galaxy (SMG)

Good Egg Galaxy immediately lets you know right off the bat that this game is going to be spectacular, as any first level should do. It's quick-paced, surprisingly simple, and easy to pick up. This song is one of gaming's best soundtracks.

This song is the 1st song, well actually, this is the 2nd song you hear the very first time you play Super Mario Galaxy. Then, when you start playing Good Egg Galaxy and hear the intro of the song, you're in for a wild ride.

Had a hard time deciding between this and Space Junk Galaxy, but I felt this was more epic and it makes me feel like I'm exploring the depths of space

I love this song all much and is to catchy this needs to be #1!

5 Space Junk Galaxy (SMG)

There's just something about this song I just really like, I just don't know what it is. Respond to me, if you know.

Such a calm song

6 Ending Theme (SMG)

This song horribly underrated. It only has 8k or 9k views as of 11/19/15. To me it's so good, I want to play it during my graduation. Go Class of 2020!

Better than Gusty Garden any day

7 King Bowser (SMG)
8 Bowser's Lava Lair (SMG2)

I had a tough choice between the 1st and 2nd versions, but the 2nd one had more instrument sounds, and has a choir.

9 Purple Comet (SMG)

No explanation needed if you played the fan-made game called Super Mario 63.

It's somewhat epic to hear this while being followed by shadows.

Very memorable song

10 Ending Theme (SMG2)

This is the best ending theme music (only the ending theme of mario & luigi: partners in time is better) in a mario game

Come on this is like the best ending music to a Mario game

Best. Music. Ever. (Prepare a napkin)

The Contenders
11 Rosalina's Observatory (SMG)

The quiet brilliance of this song is both uplifting, epic, and a bit poignant at the same time. The Observatory music is one that you always wish to hear again, and it is, without a doubt, one of the highlights of Super Mario Galaxy. Period.

This song is very nice, and gives people a cheerful spirit when they are down. I absolutely love this song, and is probably one of the best SMG music I have ever heard.

12 Final Battle (SMG2)

Bowser deserves something for making that music.

Come on this definitely belongs high on the list

Not as good as the original but still great

13 Fluffy Bluff Galaxy (SMG2)

Awesome Especially when It hits hard the song, sounds really amazing!

I love dis song so much. I don't know what it is, but I love it I Love It I LOVE IT!

14 Final Boss (SMG)

Thanks for adding this! Keep it up.

15 Fleet Glide Galaxy (SMG2)

To me, this is also underrated. It fits perfectly with the galaxy. It also sounds really cool.

Wild Glide is better

16 Ghostly Galaxy (SMG)

One of the most memorable

17 Battlerock Galaxy (SMG)

Its starts off nice and easy, then BOOM! The Brass instruments start get louder, and better.

One heck of a good song

18 Sky Station Galaxy (SMG2)

This song was a new beginning to a new adventure, it feels so adventurous.

Great song definitely

19 Puzzle Plank Galaxy (SMG2)

Such a catchy song in my opinion

I love this one

20 Family (SMG)

Better than Observatory theme. It’s so sad seeing the luma wake up, only to be left by his mama.

21 Bowser's Lava Generator (SMG2)

Better than Bowser's Galaxy Reactor. Also it's called Bowser's GALAXY Generator

Hands down, the best Bowser level theme ever (in my opinion).

Loved this when I was younger"

The best Mario song ever!

22 Bowser Jr.'s Fiery Flotilla (SMG2)

This song shows both the childish and evil side of Bowser Jr. This song is just awesome.

Very epic song in my honest opinion

23 Gateway Galaxy (SMG)

It's super awesome! It calms me down. I like listening to it while looking at the stars. It's so soothing yet sad like Rosalina. I listen to it for at least 5 minutes every day. I just love it.

Sure it's alright

24 Cosmic Cove Galaxy (SMG2)

I listening to it write now as I'm typing this, really really good song

Beautiful Ambiance

25 Luma (SMG)

This is probably the most emotional song I have ever heard in a game, and this song is just so relaxing and calming to hear, especially for people with stuff happening in their lives. The song is just so beautiful in so many ways, I love it.

Seeing your Luma sacrifice himself to stop the black hole is one of the saddest moments in a video game.
