Skies of Arcadia - Vyse's theme Turtles in Time - Skull and Crossbones DKC2 - Rattle Battle Paper Mario TYD - Vs Cortez Metroid Prime - Space Pirate Battle Star Fox Assault - Star Wolf Theme (tbh, it is arguable whether Star Wolf are actually considered pirates, but I've seen them referred to as such by several sources, and this version of the theme is amazing, so I'm counting it)
Some of my favorite castle themes; Castle from Shining Force 1/Resurrections of Dark Dragon, Palace of Decadence from Demon's Crest, The Sarafan Keep (I prefer the Battle Version) theme from Legacy of Kain; Soul Reaver 2/Defiance, Outside Naraku's Castle from Inuyasha; Feudal Fairy Tale, the track called Library that plays in the stage Prince and the Pauper from Mickey Mania (I also like the song called Dungeon which was also used for the first part of Moose Hunters in the Genesis/Mega Drive version), Queen of Rose from the Blazblue series since in a sense Rachel Alucard's home is a castle, Inside Great Demon King's Castle from Ghosts N Goblins which plays for stages 5 and 6, I also like Lucifer's AKA Loki's Castle from Ghouls N Ghosts and Sardius Castle from Super Ghouls N Ghosts. Just to name a few.
Very nice list -- Kingdom of Baron was the first song that came to mind for me. I heard this song performed live by the Pittsburgh Orchestra at a Final Fantasy concert -- may have been my favorite track of the night.
"Castlevania might dominate this list." Correction, Castlevania would be 95% of the entire list.😆 But to be serious, they're all awesome castle themes and worth a listen.
Another one for oddly familiar. Most already know of how Wily Wars Wily Tower stage 3 sounds like I need a drug by Huey Lewis & The News but there is another song that starts like that too. Get Up, Get Down, Get Funky, Get Loose by Teddy Pendergrass
Well what dou ya know! I would've posted a request like this one but it's right here. How about doing a top 10 Castlebania Themes preferredly this October? I believe that would be inevitable someday. I'm sure you have that one heavily requested.
Mmm I would have made a place for either Knights of the Round (any) or King of Dragons - To the Castle(SNES) in the top10, the whole OST is gorgeous and It either happens inside a castle or with a castle in the vicinity in most of the stage. Also one unexpected honorable mention would be Super Adventure Island 2 - Hiya Hiya Island (the stage is basically an Ice Castle so it counts~) Too bad Magic Sword happens in a tower and not in a Castle 😅
Death Adder is my personal favourite. It really ramps up the tention and makes that finally battle feel really important. P.s check out Golden axe music on the C64. ua-cam.com/video/zFoN1ZMmNUA/v-deo.html

Interesting selections there
The Pirate's Fortress from Majora's Mask.

The Monkey Island theme from all games. I like them all so I can't really choose a version.
I somehow knew the Baron Castle music from FFIV would make the list. I love you for including it ;)
"This stealth ninja game desperately needs a remake, a reboot, a remaster, or sequel or something..." lol! 😂 Made me chuckle a bit at that part.

Demon's Crest's Palace of Decadence is beautiful

Pirate theme - itchy and scratchy
Any level from skulljagger for snes
Most dkc2 levels
I've recently realized that there are many incredible tower themes in games I like, so I'd like to pitch that as an idea.

Nice list! I like Zelda and Golden Axe in particular. I would have added The Final Dungeon from Wonder Boy 3 too
Top 10 BeachThemes: TMNT-3 Nes!
Check out the game TimeSpinners, Castle Ramparts stage, song called Call Of War.
Mmm I would have made a place for either Knights of the Round (any) or King of Dragons - To the Castle(SNES) in the top10, the whole OST is gorgeous and It either happens inside a castle or with a castle in the vicinity in most of the stage.

Too bad Magic Sword happens in a tower and not in a Castle 😅
For me, the best castle theme is from Donkey Kong Country 2.
My request is Leitch Strachanomura's Presto Agitato familiar chords
Impending Doom Funk Intro sounds a lot like the final boss in Megaman X.
I personally would have went with Ultimecia's Castle from Final Fantasy 8 and Tyran Castle from Chrono Trigger should be #1.
Death Adder is my personal favourite. It really ramps up the tention and makes that finally battle feel really important. P.s check out Golden axe music on the C64. ua-cam.com/video/zFoN1ZMmNUA/v-deo.html
