D. The Day the World Revived trounces Gato and his song, 13-4.
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this but I'm happy to see it.
Battle with Magus
Not particularly close either, mainly because "Battle with Magus" is really just that good. I think it's a tad overrated and not the best song on the OST, but it's very, very solid nevertheless. Really chilling with a great crescendo. 2300 AD's world map on the other hand is nicely atmospheric but not much to write home about it beyond that.
A Strange Happening
...I guess. Close match and neither are really all that stellar. Not bad, just... not especially exciting in any tangible way. This one features in several great scenes so it wins my vote on a non-technical reason.
Black Dream
I've always liked "Battle 2" and wished it made it into the game (someone in the comments section suggested 2300 AD and I dig that idea) but "Black Dream" is really, really groovy-resonant, which is a pseudo-compound I have effectively come to know the best of Chrono Trigger for being, both musically and overall. I do wish this track went on a tad longer before looping but its transience is very nice anyway.
Magus' Castle
My current prediction for the entry that gets slaughtered today but I love it, short as it is. A nice blend of leitmotifs and a haunting little number. "Peaceful Days" is pretty good though. Third-best world map theme in the game for sure.
