You probably know about OCRemix. Most of the remixes are mediocre, but there are gems to be found. Here you can recommend those gems. The best are asterisked. You can put non-OCRemix music here too.

Duck Blast by Star Salzman* (I'm not sure if this is on OCRemix because I got it on another site. You might have to Google, but IT'S WORTH IT.)
Duck Blur. Hard to Google with the wrong name, but there's the page so you don't have to 8P
As I was listening to it, I KNEW I had heard the song before, but having never played the Duck Tales game couldn't place it for the life of me. That's when it hit me:
Sweet Memories of Earth by CarboHydroM
I had been playing it on Frets on Fire for months without knowing what it was from. But now I do, and knowing is half the battle.
P.S.: I link to the CarboHydroM remix because it kicks the crap out of Salzman XD
Oh wow, where to begin... I listen to a lot of this stuff. A lot of what I listen to comes from games I haven't even played or heard the original music, but I like the remixes quite a bit. It's pretty much a safe bet to go with nearly anything my McVaffe, Disco Dan, djpretzel, bLiNd, and SGX, but there's a lot of other great stuff as well.
Guess I'll just list some of my favorites in the same format you did. (leaving out the ones you already mentioned)
Beatmania 2DX 7th Style
'Kick Your A', by SGX
Beyond Good & Evil
'Frame of Mind', by Aurora, Destructo, and SGX
Bionic Commando
'Bionic Electronica', by Big Giant Circles
Castlevania 2
'BloodyHell', by Ailsean and Kaijin
'Simon's Town', by Digimatic

'Stained Glass Filth', by goat
Chrono Cross
'Time's New Scar', by gutzalpus

Final Fantasy 9
'MelodiesofLife Arranged', by McVaffe
Final Fantasy 10
'White Skies (Club Mix)', by bLiNd (link points to a higher bitrate version on his server, rather than the OCR version)
Mario Paint
'Intense Color', by Sephfire and SGX
Mega Man 2
'MetalMan (Dominator Mix)', by Revolver - This one isn't from OCR, but it's one of my favorites. Unfortunately, I can't remember where the heck I found it at, so I just stuck it on my own server for now.
'Soap and Water', by AE
'WithTheQuickness', by AE (best use of in-game sound effects EVER)
Mega Man X

Super Double Dragon
'No.5 (Snapdragon)', by ParagonX9
Yoshi's Island
'CrystallineCaverns', by McVaffe
Zelda II
'Temple Trance', by bLiNd - While the OCR version of this is good, his later version, Temple Trance MkII, available here, is quite a bit better. All kinds of awesome if you like that style of music.
Zelda: A Link to the Past
'TheDarknessAndTheLight', by McVaffe (love the different styles this one goes through, the piano section is probably my favorite)
'Triforce Majeure', by Disco Dan
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
'Pachelbel's Ganon', by djpretzel
Zelda: Link's Awakening
'Braving Tal Tal Heights', by Disco Dan
Yeah. I guess that's enough, heh. There are still several others I like, but I was trying to keep the list from getting too big. I listen to quite a bit of this stuff.
Some of the others mentioned in this topic are also favorites of mine, but some are tracks I haven't listened to before, so I'll have to check those out soon.
Could people please list the genres of these pieces?
See, I have this minor allergy to techno. Whenever I hear it, I have convulsions in the form of turning it off.
Silly Bat. Don't be lazy and just download them and find out.
I also find the lack of "Chemical Juice" - Jivemaster, disturbing.
Well, Bat is on dialup.
For anyone still in the Stone Age, Project Chaos has several amazing tracks.
Also, both of the songs here are pretty good. Also from the same remixer.
This guy and This guy (Especially Shattered) are reccomended. Mostly rock and/or rock/techno.
Last, but probably not least, Niiiiinjas.
I've not ventured out of the Sonic remix section of that website, but I concur with those recommendations. I also like the Marble garden and 'drowning theme' remixes. Quirky, but fun!

Hee hee. The issue with that, at least in my case, is that I have trouble deciding what genre some of these tracks fall under. Some are decidedly one specific genre, while others combine more than one, and I some I don't know really. However, most everything I linked to goes to the OCR page for the track, rather than a direct download, so those pages have overviews of the tracks that may give you an idea of the style.
I can note that 'BloodyHell', 'Stained Glass Filth', 'Light in the Fortress', and 'Purple Heart' all feature significant use of electric guitars, if that helps any. All actually played by the remixers as well.
