Composer: Tomohisa Mitsuyasu
Album: No Official Release
Publisher: Asmik Corporation of America, Quest

There's just something about that driving drum beat that starts out the song that gets you pumped about getting ready to climb a mountain filled with aggressive golems, birds, slug-crab-things, piranha plants, and skeletons. That's really all I know about "Mount Crystal" from Conquest of the Crystal Palace although I do recognize the cover from when I would visit Placer TV/Video in the NES era.
I'm not even going to try to analyze the melody because I'll get most of it wrong. So I'll just say that I really enjoy this song, be it for climbing a mountain early in your quest, or just as background while you plod away in QuickBooks hoping that your meeting that's supposed to happen in 20 minutes is canceled because you've already had one meeting today. And then the song loops back to the beginning and you now have the sudden urge to drive out to the forest and climb a mountain; even if there aren't any crystals involved.
