Top 100 Metroid Songs

To me, the Metroid series is the closest we've got to having a perfect video game franchise. The worldbuilding, the gameplay, and the music just interlock perfectly. This video was made for myself just as much as for anyone else since I really love studying to video game music, and Digital Devil Arts25's countdown of the top 100 Shin Megami Tensei songs inspired me to make a Metroid counterpart (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9QdmsaXtc8).

Don't read too much into the list either way!
