Catchiest video game song?

I thought of this post entirely because I have the Pokémon Center theme from Pokémon HeartGold SoulSilver stuck in my head, and it has wriggled in over and over for months despite me hearing and actively playing other music.

Heck. Half the Mega Man 2 sound track is probably in the top ten.

Here a little late with some certified bangers in no particular order:
Monty on the Run - Main theme (Commodore 64)
Sonic CD [JP] - Quartz Quadrant (Present)
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - Wandering Ghosts

I've got 3 that I randomly hum in my head every now and then.
- Mega Man 2 - Airman stage
- Jet Set Radio - Humming the Baseline
- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest - Daytime Town Theme

Yeah that's why I didn't link it. I can hear the riff and even play the riff on guitar on a moments notice
Friend says "play me something" and I immediately play that riff

But if I had to it will probably be Melodies of Life.
Actually, I change my mind, this is the catchiest video game song.

"Tim, would you mind making the music for our Ghouls and Ghosts Commodore port?"
"No problem, here's 9 full length tracks spanning 22 minutes including a 4 minute long title screen song. I hope that's enough. I hope I got the screams right..."
