what do you guys think is the most impressive GB(C) music? by Dais! at 2:00 AM EST on December 20, 2015
I was laying in bed, thinking about the various extensive Pokémon and Fire Emblem hacks available for GBA, when it occurred to me that I couldn't really think of any GBA games that make effective use of the original Game Boy sound channels. It seems like few games use them prominently instead of as background support.....off-hand, I can only think of one of Dimps Digimon ports, but I'm sure there's some other notable examples.

There's likely some deeper technical reason besides "too much effort" and "obviously consumers don't want OLD BUSTED BEEP BOOP", but it made me wonder exactly what heights the original GB sound hardware could achieve - not necessarily in terms of composition/arrangement, but the limits to which the system could be stretched, especially when it was still handling a game at the same time.

So please suggest some impressive Game Boy/Color music for me to listen to, preferably actual soundtracks but original/demo work is fine too. I know there's a lot of fun stuff in later European licensed games, but I'm hoping to get some opinions/suggestions I wouldn't have considered before.

Doki Doki Sasete immediately comes to mind.

Metroid Zero Mission makes some use of the gameboy's audio chip for some tracks... only game i could think of since i didn't play as many gba titles as gameboy games.

Edit: Opps, there I go only reading part of something again...

This is pretty obvious, but Pokemon Crystal is probably my favorite GBC soundtrack of all the GB/C games I've played.

Toki Tori, Trip World, Die Maus and Shantae all have great music.

^ The Smurfs had amazing music. The Volcano theme is godly.

Pokémon Pinball had some really neat stuff.
