Well, s***. Here I was complaining about how bad the songs for PW:TT and Skies of Arcadia were, and then they go into a tiebreaker and they're both flat-out awesome. Final Battle ~Opportunity~ wins this one, but both are far better than the songs they sported in their original match.
Strategy! To whoever did the nominations for F-Zero X, that was an absolutely brilliant choice of tiebreakers--the "it's FREAKING MARIO!" factor always comes through in the clutch. While I still maintain that the best Rainbow Road theme was Double Dash!!'s, a rock remix of MK64's Rainbow Road is plenty good. Perfect Dark's end credits are pretty good too, but not good enough.
So good to see that jazz is not dead. Theme of the Last Time Travel (live version).
Didn't notice the later links for the Perfect Dark song. So, one of those two is the official link? Then I feel much better about my decision--only because I stuck around for the entirety of the original version was I even considering switching my vote to PD End Credits. Rainbow Road is definitely better.
