So, it's heating up at the top of the table! What do you guys fancy for the next round? I'm feeling a "jingles" round eg. identifying the game based on something like the flagpole fanfare in Super Mario Bros. or the victory music in Final Fantasy. What do you guys think?

I was hoping Jay was going to be on time as Andy seems to be the rival.
I looked at Drunka to see why he got 0 points, lol, but he did Peach though

Considering I've played none of the Nontendo dung in the top tier, that's a damn good round for me!

Can you make it two in a row, Jimbob?
It's time for another music round - this one has a bit of a theme. It's all about victory - whether that's finishing a level or race or the whole game, levelling up, winning a battle or even just finding a much needed save point.
I'm looking for the exact game for this one. The final round will be a bit more lenient, but we're keeping it specific for this one. Best of luck!

The answer is no.:
EASY 1 Super Mario Bros 3 2 Super Metroid 3 Lylat Wars (the correct name) 4 Oh, er, which one - Mario Kart Double Dash? 5 Final Fantasy VII
MEDIUM 1 F-Zero (the funkiest) 2 Oh shit which Zelda was that - Triforce Heroes? 3 Pikmin 4 Earthbound! 5 Early Tears for Fears. I'm not sure. Is it Halo?
HARD 1 Is this Persona 4? 2 Tales of... something 3 oh shit - I'm going to know this immediately 4 oh shit - it's some twee indie game, but I can't remember which one. 5 is this a Hat in Time again?

Oof, not a great volume of responses so far.
Even if you don't think you'll do too well, I'd still love to see folks have a go. Cheers to Jimbob and Mas for chiming in so far, natch.

I'll be there for the next round. I didn't get on with the music round last time, and I think without the ability to go for general franchises I'll really struggle with anything that's Nontendo.

I think you'll be absolutely fine outside of the hard round, genuinely.

Surely getting 1 or 2 points is better than having 0 points.

Protect your average at all times!
I might have a listen next week and see how it goes. That said, I'd be more inclined to listen in if franchises was an option for half points!

Well with lack of response Jay may change it that if you've got the correct game you get all the points and half if the right series.
As even I could use the half points this round.

Gah these music ones are so frustrating because I recognise almost all of them but can't name them.
Easy:
1. Super Mario Bros 3 2. Metroid 3. Lylat Wars 4. Mario Kart Double Dash 5. Final Fantasy 7
Medium:
1. F-Zero 2. It's Zelda but could be any of them, Four Swords perhaps? 3. Pikmin 4. No idea 5. Shadow of the Collosus. As much as I didn't like the game this little but of music is brilliant.
Hard:
1. Something Segaish, let's say Mean Bean Machine 2. Fire Emblem 3. Kirby 4. The Last of Us 5. Dunno

Thanks to those that have responded, but I'll think I'll have to scrap this round and redo it due to the lack of response. It won't be until next week at the earliest though as I'm away this weekend, but clearly something needs to be changed. Can't say I'm not disappointed, but maybe that's partly on me for not changing the rules for this round.
Regardless, cheers to those that did get involved - I'll chuck you a few bonus points or something in the redone round for at least getting involved.
Here were the answers so you can see how you would have done:
Answers:
Easy
1) Super Mario Bros. 3 2) Super Metroid 3) Star Fox 64/Lylat Wars 4) Mario Kart Double Dash! 5) Final Fantasy VII
Medium
1) F-Zero 2) The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 3) Pikmin 3 4) Earthbound 5) Shadow of the Colossus
Hard
1) Gran Turismo 6 2) Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance 3) Dragon Quest VIII 4) Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) 5) Resident Evil 2

10 bonus points
Yeah it's a shame as I know doing that would have took awhile to edit together.
