IMO Donkey Kong Country factory/warehouse levels music rips heavily from "Tonight x3" by Genesis.

Have you ever played Pocky and Rocky?
why yes, I rented it from my local video store back in 94 or something. You should check out Parodius if you like that stuff.

For years my brother aspired to write music for video games and his idols were Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy), Hip Tanaka (Metroid) and Dan Forden (Mortal Kombat).

Duck Tales moon theme OTM! I used to imagine that the mouth motions of the enemies on that stage were them sounding out the main riff. That game had pretty great music in general though, nice long elaborate tunes with several parts. The Amazon track is pretty clear in my head.

OMG YES. Worth it if only for the loopy, unbelievably irritating but still kind of jaunty "you're about to die" theme.
Also great bassline on the main gameplay theme music.
Reminds me indirectly of GAUNTLET.

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?
