Pokémon songs have not done especially well historically, but leave it to the greatest Champion of them all to change that: “Battle! Champion Cynthia” takes the top spot. Elsewhere, the ultra-obscure “Quartett! The Stage of Love” gets on the board with the enigmatically titled “B03”.

Super Mario Galaxy’s “Buoy Base Galaxy” takes the top spot here. Probably because everyone appreciates a good pun. A very Nintendo-heavy top cut all-around, actually. Brain Age sort of disappeared once they got sued over the dubious health claims that game was making, but personally I kinda miss it. It was a neat little puzzle game, fraud aside.

It’s time for group play! We have 1,358 songs this time; we’re trying out 24-song groups this time, so we have 56 groups of 24, plus a 57th of 14. For the group stage, vote for as many songs as you like! Songs will be ranked based on how many upvotes they got compared to how many people voted in that round. 1 After all groups are done, the top 384 songs from across all groups will advance to the playoffs.
…unless! After group play, but before the playoffs proper, there will be a wild card runoff! If an individual game places more than 10 songs into the top 384, songs 11+ per game will face off against songs 385+2 in a play-in round.
We’ll be “feathering” groups; voting on group 16 will be active until Tuesday February 2nd at 10:00PM Pacific. Group 17 will start Tuesday and be active until Wednesday, and so on. Please listen to every song! Don’t just vote name recognition.
You can listen to all songs in group 16 in this handy YouTube playlist! (Don’t worry, songs will also be linked in the comments, where voting will take place)
