Description

BGMania B-Sides #49 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bedroth turns his attention to Terranigma, the beloved Super Nintendo action RPG developed by Quintet and published by Enix. Requested and curated by Executive Producer Xancu, this episode celebrates one of the most cherished hidden gems of the 16-bit era. While Terranigma never received an official North American release, its ambitious storytelling, memorable world-building, and emotional soundtrack have earned it a passionate following among RPG fans for decades.

As the penultimate installment of the B-Sides series before it reaches its conclusion with Episode #50, this episode serves as both a tribute to a remarkable game and a reminder of the many overlooked soundtracks that have found a home on the show. Composed by Miyoko Takaoka and Masanori Hikichi, Terranigma's music effortlessly captures the wonder of creation, the weight of loss, and the excitement of exploration through a diverse collection of melodies that remain just as powerful today as they were in 1995.
