Brandine: Cletus! Not in front of my parents!
Cletus: Now, now, hun. They're my parents, too.

You forgot one, the Great Fairy music in LoZ and the map music for world 3 in SMB 3.

Quite a few surprised me, but I know an odd leap of music.

The Caves theme in Pokemon Snap is a remix of The Goddess Appears, the fairy's theme from Zelda: Link to the Past.

Fantastic Article Beebop.

The Halo thing seems a little more like an easter egg than ripping itself off, but that could be just me.

the race/challenge music from mario 64/ocarina of time/ majora's mask is the same. the penguin race(mario galaxy, the mountaain with the penguins and the house), the races on epona(both majora's and ocarina's) are the same. it's just fan service probably

I remember and owned shadowgate and uninvited. Shadowgate took me years to beat since there were no gamefaqs around then. Got close to beating Uninvited but never did, but saw a walkthru in Nintentdo Power so I at least got to see the ending.

I swear I heard something like that totoka music in banjo kazooie. Maybe around gruntildas lair?

I don't know if the Doom one really counts, as those secret levels were actually Wolfenstein levels and so it's not surprising they share the same music.

In Telltale's Sam & Max Season One, the tavern theme from Bone makes an appearance if you find and look at the Barrelhavern Tavern sign.

Crap. It took an article for me to put together that a Castlevania tune is in Contra: Hard Corps. Still like the original Vampire Killer better though.

totaka's song seems really interesting topic for wii/DS owners.

Loved this article. FFIV fan and Mario RPG are my number 2 and 3 rpgs, and loved that song. Just wondering though where the fuck do you find your soundtracks? That stack is crazy.
