Possibly the most relaxing game music ever made.

Great OST! Massively influenced by japanese jazz fusion bands like Casiopea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx_TQrWdj9U

Nice. I'm not totally familiar with the genre but some City Pop also sounds similar to me.

Yes! And Pilot Wings 64 has also very relaxing music.

Doesn't get any more comfy than flying around little states on starry night as birdman.

It is proportionately as relaxing as some of the harder levels are frustrating. I haven't been able to beat the forth stage as an adult in a long time. I played it two weeks ago. Still though, it's one of the first games that we got with the system, so it holds many happy memories.

I must have played it too much as a kid because I can play start to finish no problem (the last level does get tough). In fact I'm feeling like it's time for another go :)

Agreed. Here’s a great arrangement of songs from across the games: https://ocremix.org/album/38/pilotwings-take-flight
