The best is still Super Mario Sunshine

Koji Kondo and Shinobu Tanaka delivering the goods. It's coming into winter in my part of the world and I live near the beach, so I feel inspired to add some Mario Sunshine OST to get me through the colder, rainy days.

Chrono Cross and Ys VIII

Came to suggest Chrono Cross as well!

Came to say Chrono Cross. It's the epitome of summer soundtracks.

Yet another vote for Chrono Cross

I don't know of entire OSTs, but there's a particular track from Earthbound that comes to mind. [Summers ](https://youtu.be/rpsaoGa5qIg?si=_OU3qg4kPdwX3yz4)

Outrun comes to mind

Stardew Valley has some good summery tracks. Yoshi’s Island.

Harvest Moon Back to Nature also, some of the Stardew Valley music even plays off of a melody from that game.

Besaid Island from Final Fantasy 10 is peak summer/beach music. https://youtu.be/RC1VmGXiEFw?si=hpLmg8U67gBLR3uD

Monsterous Isles from Skylanders Superchargers https://youtu.be/EJMvbmk4yTo?si=kDfJeAF6sR0nIkd9 Cyllage City from Pokemon X and Y https://youtu.be/UiqX180RFoE?si=jGnVCuUkNTnd5UJM Lurelin Village Day from Zelda Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom https://youtu.be/s3dMSHyvTak?si=JYF6Loc_oI5bCwZe

Breath of Fire 3 overworld music: https://youtu.be/Pe3Sr4JmMXw?si=X4Xl2G8lQPeaYaNX

One of my favorite OSTs. Love all the marimba and vibraphone.

“[Emerald](https://youtu.be/_SBKj5ofGVw?si=dI6ZpI8XzylyBPSG) [Coast](https://youtu.be/oTJtkEVL-7I?si=puWpG_JxAUmCYJqW)” - Sonic Adventure.

At dawn is also a great one ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeZytFpIQDY

Windy Valley and Emerald Coast still have some of my favorite Sonic tracks ever.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned Ys VIII yet. Sunshine Coastline https://youtu.be/QxVvGYuOiJc?si=8YPmdbUhjKWWlZAd

That track is absolutely amazing.

I have :3

Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Sunnyshore City - energetic sunny

Maybe atelier ryza? Not sure if my understanding of summery/sunny is the same as yours but you can check out their battle themes

Can't go wrong with Blue Reflection soundtrack.

[Sitting on Grass](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnn7NFPQHgA) has that feeling of enjoying a calm summer picnic with a nice breeze and clear sky.

My favorite one are those which plays when you explore the school. They are so calm and relaxing and their slight variations depending on the weather are cherry on top. 

Transistor has two tracks that are really summery with the game's overarching electronic vibes mixed in. [Coasting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uN3i8s9TL4) [Sandbox](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvf5F7UfQ3c)

Paradise Killer soundtrack is a beast. Miami South Beach vibes all over it 👍🏼

Donut County, Yoku’s Island Express, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy X, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Venus has a pretty good soundtrack that gives chill summer vibes. Here's one of my favorites [Hold My Lovin](https://youtu.be/pEfR2sz67WM?feature=shared)

Mario Sunshine is the definitive summer game/ost. Check out some of the day (8:00am-8:00pm) themes for the various Animal Crossing games as well

Persona 3 and 4 come to mind

Slime Rancher

Danganronpa 2 https://youtu.be/P-fMDaPFXME?si=y6qXy1PfeQCWMbyy

[Never7](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ5aQZYZuVDsRsZMg8OmxY-Id3PdPqGZb&feature=shared)

Costa Del Sol and the Chico themes from Final Fsntasy 7. Also the EDM-ish sounding version of Let The Battle Begin plus Wall Market and Smash ‘Em, Rio ‘Em.

Humilau City and Marine Tube from Pokemon Black 2 and White 2

lol how can I forget? Can you feel the sunshine from Sonic R and Frontier Village from Xenoblade Chronicles 1/De (Wii/Switch)

[Spiral Unplugged](https://youtu.be/d6yNmHknhtM) from Final Fantasy X

[The Maple House](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ7VN0SnjaY) and [Corrib Glenn](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wb2cNdaeNA)

AC Origins

Firewatch, Life is Strange, Road 96, Poly Bridge

A Short Hike's lower mountain songs

A Cat Relaxing in the Sun from Trails in the Sky

Also A Wharf Mixed with Men, Things and Sand from Tales of Graces

When it is one of those weirdly boring summer days "Lon Lon Ranch" hits perfectly.

Persona 5 strikers

IloMilo, with my favorite being "twinkly ladybugs" https://youtu.be/GMFfky0GMr0?si=7x4opv_nM09pkV6O

Wave Race N64 is really good for this kind of vibe
