There’s something profoundly relaxing and sound-bathic about it, spesh with a low pass filter or filtering out all the treble.
The House song from Mother 1 is amazing and so is the rest of the album in this light
Try it; I double-dare you
It’s been awhile, but my first thought was Kirby
Was my first thought too but I didn’t play Kirby til the SNES. Same difference tho

Not nes, but it is 8 bit…
The fez soundtrack, by disasterpeace.
My mom used to use the fishing song from The Black Bass to put me to sleep. Many moons later, I still find it soothing. https://youtu.be/6DDffBpWfnk?t=03m15s
I’d never heard this but now it’s stuck in my head lol
Gonma be honest, I love the Pictionary theme
It has no business being that good
Lmao wth. Was not expecting a bump from Pictionary. This is so good.
If you think thats good, listen to this shit
Oh hell yeah. I’ll take Solstice any day. What a legendary game. One of the best platform-puzzle titles for it’s time. You just can’t understand it until you play it.
I never had the manual, so it was confusing as hell for a while. Most stories for NES games came from the manual. NES manuals were half guides, half prologue novels.
You play this song and I will instantly know where its from - https://youtu.be/N3YrrUtQ7-g
Thanks for doing all these links :D excellent work
Duck Tails. Nothing beats that moon theme.

This immediately started playing in my head when I read the question.
Final Fantasy.
Ninja Gaiden!
My favorite NES “soundtrack” is Dark Side of the Moon, Brad Smith’s fantastic adaptation of the Pink Floyd classic for the NES console.
Ugh it wasn’t NES, but there’s a SNESdrunk video out there with an OST clip that absolutely slapped, and I haven’t been able to find it again. I combed all the music-specific videos and then some. I’m not sure if it was even SNES or not. Thanks for reminding me :(
SNESdrunk
Given that we’re talking about “relaxing music”, my first hit on Kagi for “SNESdrunk ost” is this and it looks apropos:

Is that it? If it is, I suspect that from the sound quality on the first song, what they’re doing is taking someone’s MIDI file representing the SNES soundtrack and then rendering it using a newer soundfont.
I don’t much like music rendered with FM synthesis myself — not a chiptunes fan — but I do keep around some old game MIDI files and listen to them with synthesis using newer soundfonts.
I skimmed through the long compilation videos cause there are a few.
I’m pretty sure it was a game list video or a one of his normal videos… I feel like I remember him raving about the music and saying something like “Just listen to this”, and then an entirely too sick metal-ish riff goes off.
It could very well be a false memory though lol
Solstice.
This is so cheeky. He starts off with the most generic NES music imaginable then proceeds to simply obliterate its soundchip.
Spot on. 🤘
Composer put out straight fire on this one
Apparently the Solstice music was done by one Tim Follin, who also did the Pictionary music that was also mentioned here.
EDIT:
NES Deja Vu, great music for the puzzle solving.

That Super Mario Bros 2 - Game End lullaby is perfect.
When I first beat it as a kid, I just sat there for 10 minutes listening. This song has permanent resistance in my head.

An orchestral remix, I believe rendered with some MIDI synth; the artist here appears to have done two CDs:

Thanks for doing the leg work! So many memories!
I remember enjoying a lot of the Mega Man music. But also the theme for the first area in Crystalis has stuck with me for ages.

Assuming that this is the cave, which it sounds like from this walkthrough:
