Wow, this is fucking great. I wouldn't mind putting it into some vaporwave mix
Great choice
I knew it was going to be the Guile Theme
could listen to it all day
16-bit console era, five games whose soundtrack is worthwhile in its entirety (as opposed to having one or two very memorable songs).
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
Sample (Sonic 3): youtube.com
Sample (& Knuckles): youtube.com
Kirby's Super Star
Sample: youtube.com
And most famously: youtube.com
Final Fantasy VI
Music varies so much it's hard to pick a characteristic "sample", so here's two:

I'll also throw in support for having a great all-around soundtrack. Probably my favorite take on pirate/buccaneer themes from the era, but had other well-done and catchy tracks.
Pirate sample: youtube.com
Non-pirate Sample: youtube.com
These are all pretty safe picks, games a lot of people played and so came to appreciate the soundtrack sometimes only for sheer nostalgia. Less respect for its soundtrack in that era, but I find to be chill in an almost "Sim City" way, such that you can zone out to it while doing work or reading or what-have-you: Ecco the Dolphin II
Sample: youtube.com
Street Fighter 3: Third Strikes soundtrack is fantastic. Here's a few tracks that come to mind:
Character Select Theme:
youtube.com
Akuma's Theme:
youtube.com
Gill's Theme:
youtube.com
Elena's Theme:
youtube.com
I recommend checking out the entire soundtrack, because it's all excellent.
