Due to popular demand a few people asking, here is part #2 of the NES and SNES bass quizzes!
  1. Choose either NES tracks (YouTube, Mega), SNES tracks (YouTube, Mega), or both!
  2. Listen to the bass-only tracks to get your groove going and feel like you only plugged your subwoofer to your console!
  3. Get 'em feelings working and identify the 30 mysterious tracks per console!
  4. Write down your answers here (NES, SNES) so you can compare your low-frequency skills to your friends'!
There's no prize and nothing's official so I won't send hitmen if tracks/answers are discussed, but let's keep it fun and let others guess too. Please share with other communities if you'd like, I will soon do the same! Additional info:
  • Since channels aren't as "dedicated" to bass for the SNES, there are sometimes other sounds / samples used by the same channel as the bass. I've replaced (most of) those with silence.
  • SNES sometimes used other instruments (rather than always a bass guitar). It's still a low frequency sound, so don't be surprised if you hear a tuba or something!
  • I've only trimmed the tracks in case of long silences (or if they began with a silence).
  • Results will be announced when maybe 2 days pass with no new response.
Have fun! P.S. The first installment of this quiz is over, but if you can still check it out if you'd like!

I did listen to the NES ones. It's hard for me but fun, many times I was like "I know this game!" but couldn't really find the answer ^^. My answers (one or two are guesses): 2-Contra 8-The Legend of Zelda 10-Punch Out! 11-Double Dragon 2 13-Metroid 19-Megaman... 1? (maybe 2) 22-SMB2 (USA)

Wow I'm bad at recognizing bass tracks. NES Music: 2: Contra, Stage 1 8: TLOZ, Opening 9: Little Nemo, Intermission Theme. 13: Metroid, Kraid's Lair 19: Mega Man 2: Quick Man 26: Mega Man 3: Snake Man A lot of themes I feel like I should recognize, but don't. In at least two separate cases, at least the developer is obvious.
