Can someone tell me here or via private message what #16 is? It's not for the contest as I'm not taking part, I just know I've heard it and don't remember where from.

In any case, to add to your list:

10.) Super Mario RPG

god i thought so but felt bad about shamelessly guessing for series credit on a huge stretch on the number of things i was doing so and backed off on all but a few even though there was no point in doing so.

Oh well, totally my fault.

16 is from Guitar Hero 3. It's PS3 DLC exclusive involving God of War:

FFIX, and I know I know what #14 is and I just settled on FF for the massive series credit potential (one of three I stuck with instead of leaving blank) because I couldn't figure it out and I got tired of frustrating myself on it. I guarantee once it's revealed I'll be so frustrated with myself. Just like with SMRPG now. ...Why did I decide that shamelessly guessing based on composer was something I should shy away from? I've even played SMRPG.

I initially had Kirby's Dream Land, but the sound clip in the GameFAQs contest sounds like it's from Adventure. Although, my computer speakers aren't the best quality, so I could be mistaken.

Kirby's Dream Land:

...Whoops, then. >_>


That's what I thought at first, but I decided to listen to them both, and it's definitely the one from Adventure. The one in Dream Land sounds different. I'm not sure if it's important or not, but the rules said to name the specific arrangement.

The differences are minor though, so it's either unintentional, or kind of cruel...

EDIT: Also, 10's from Legend of Mana, not Mario. Same composer though.

That actually makes me feel a bit better, if true. It confirms my composer guess was correct, but it also explains why I was never sold completely on SMRPG and now I don't lose points for switching it blank needlessly. >_>

Yeah, but the Scattergories contest was a b**** to score.

In the latter half of this year there's going to be a "Family Feud"-type contest, that'll be similar without being as painful for me.

Ed Bellis can probably fill in a lot of the blanks, he said he knew at least 16 of them (and might know a few more). Which means he probably won the contest, with how difficult this was. <_<

I'm wondering if with the increased difficulty if maybe I made the Top 20 this time. Normally I would think I had no chance with my probable 8-9 correct, but maybe. Doubting it though.

Time is up. I think the songs this time may have been too difficult.
Now that I look at it, actually, I don't know what happened. This contest got 1/3rd as many YouTube views as the last Name That Tune contest, so the increased difficulty shouldn't have been the only reason it didn't get as many entries. Hmm.


I know I didn't really look at the contest in the beginning due to the holidays, so that could maybe explain some of the drop in entries.

Out of curiosity, were there any sound clips that didn't get any correct guesses? Or did each sound clip have at least one person who guessed it correctly?

22 definitely was a hard one. It sounds like it's from a horror game.

Based on what people have posted here so far, it looks like we're still missing the identity of #8 and #22.

Yeah, #22 also reminded me of horror, but I also couldn't shake RPG from my head for some reason. For that reason I almost put Parasite Eve (specifically 3rd Birthday) just on a blind guess, but opted not to.

22 is from a game I'd never even heard of. But I intentionally wanted a few of the songs to be things that would be incredibly hard, and that was one of them, so I'm not terribly upset about that.

No idea, I made sure to make random guesses. In fact I guessed Legend of the Mystical Ninja for #18 and that might be right based on what someone else said. :D
