Here's a good one: this song is like a happy tropical version of this song.

Another? This song is basically this song redone in an tribal/African instrumental style.

More? Geez, what a demanding crowd. This song basically takes the counter-melody of this song and produces a main melody out of it. I guess it's justifiable, since they're both from the same game.

One more: I have a theory that this opening track appears to draw a little bit of inspiration from this anime opening. I'm probably wrong, but that doesn't mean they don't both have some similar "themes" in terms of how they sound pitch-wise and so forth.
I like the drum tracks used in  and . They kinda hold their own unique style, instead of sounding like overly drum & bass or punk/metal.
Surprised how no one mentioned Elec Man's stage theme from Mega Man sounding heavily like Journey's 'Faithfully' from the Frontiers album.
As I posted about this at another forum a while ago, I noticed that F1 Race of Champions II/Exhaust Heat 2's "Research & Development" song actually reminds me of Praga Khan's "Injected With A Poison".  Wink Observe, listen, and enjoy:

F1 Race of Champions II/Exhaust Heat 2 - Research & Development
Praga Khan - Injected With A Poison (MNO Power Mix)
Since DKR is one of my favorite games of all time, why not post a Similiar Tune in DKR?


And now,

His World (Sonic 06)
I Am The Doctor (2010)

I thought the GoT theme sounded like Dragonborn as well, but meh, I can't seem to hear the correct song. Turns out the GoT theme isn't what I thought it was. Tongue

Dragonborn
Get Lucky
After listening to it very closely, I realized that part of the Combatribes ending sounds like Van Halen's Dreams.

Here's the ending theme to Combatribes:

And here's Van Halen's Dreams:
Was this moved to General Discussion? I remember this being in Gaming Discussion... 
Anyways:



And...


Weird MS DOS Games inspired Gravity Falls' theme.
When you think about it, it's really weird.
At about 20 seconds.


I just listened to the new IIDX soundtrack and holyfuck parts of these sound hella fucking close

Hey, glad to hear that this thread's hoppin'!
Had to dig for these ones:

This holds a similar melody to this, just in a different style.
The beginning of this dramatic piece very seemingly borrows a similar feel of this one...(Mostly my opinion)
This one always stood out to me.
It's the same song. Mario & Stitch coming to a Disney channel near you.
