And Eggman Rox nailed this premise--EVERYONE has Live & Learn or City Escape at the top of their list. Quite literally everyone. I briefly considered excluding those two, but that would be going the wrong direction. So maybe if it's separated by type(instrumental level themes, character/appearance themes, vocal themes, hub/menu themes--unless we're not doing those) and just single elim. those until we eventually come up with something from each bracket going against each other. I like that idea of having the lyrical and instrumental songs separate, that would give us the opportunity to have all (or a large majority) of the lyrical songs, and an equal amount of level themes. We would have what seems like 2 different tournaments; one of lyrics, and one of instruments. Once the 2 brackets have a single representative, the winner of both brackets face each other; winning lyrical song vs. winning instrument song. I predict Live and learn but if this is anything like last tourney, Sonic heroes would surprisingly win.

My only question is: what do songs like "Vela Nova" count in? It barely has any lyrics, it's mostly instrumental, but it still does have lyrics.
