SMB2, Blaster Master and Jackal all seconded.
BTW, this is off topic, but what is the deal in Jackal, when you finish a level but don't really kick ass, instead of showing you the image of the dudes in the jeep going top speed and yelling "YEAHH!!" the game displays the dudes kind of rummaging through the jeep asking... "Here?" That always baffled us as kids. Are they trying to remember where they stowed their lunch?

whoa theres actually stuff in that thats not in the game..
The song that plays when you lose the game (after you die 3 times) is pretty awesome also.

I woke up with this stuck in my head the other morning:

Maybe it's because I played this as an impressionable young child but the music from the end of Metroid II is straight up haunting.

Got a projector the other day, and it's a bit old so the resolution isn't all that, but it is PERFECT for playing emulated NES, SNES, and Genesis games. Suddenly something that was bleeping out of a tiny box is larger-than-life and devastatingly cinematic. When i have the projector going (an InFocus DLP, $200 used on amazon) I crank the volume and have a drink and a smoke and last night when I tried Ninja Gaiden 2 the opening cutscene blew my freakin' mind. The sound is a little crappy on that youtube video but with bass boost on a stereo the drums are nearly perfect old school metal. I use NesTopia, which allows you to mix the individual sound channels, and turn down the square waves just a little bit.
I was having a great time w this game until i got to level 2 or something and the eagles started and i ran into a half hour straight of cursing "I hate the effing eagles!" before quitting.

One last one. I learned how to play this on a piano. Play it at half speed and it sounds like a Yma Sumac backing track.

I'm sitting down w Megaman 2 theme music trying to figure it out and damn if it doesn't start off sounding really close to Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning". You have the droning bass notes (pretty much playing the exact intervals and timing of John Cale's viola) and a responding arpeggio up a few octaves that starts on the 1&.

Here is another song from Final Fantasy VI that has a really great bass line. The bass sound is wonderful in this game, it almost sounds like a live take rather than sequenced. To me, it's a very Sgt. Pepper bass line!

There was a time when video games (especially NES/SNES ones) were my life when I was a kid.
These were cool:
*Goonies II - guide song (NES)*Goonies II - first-person mode (NES)
But my ultimate favourite, which I was pretty much beyond obsessed with was Metroid for the NES. Every. Single. Song.
I hear it now, and it's like a hundred memories hit me. Place, time, smells (!), environment, touch, everything. It's insane. There was probably something wrong with me.
Metroid's escape scene (NES):

Metroid's ending (NES):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFUGG6SFiQQ
I was also into bands porting the tunes into traditional rock instruments. Even though The Advantage is one of my favourites, the Metroid Metal tunes really nail the intensity for me:
Escape:

Ending:

Also, T&C Surf was cool:
