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 making other music.
Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.
We All Lift Together from Warframe goes fucking hard.
The Stupendium made an Outer Worlds song called The Fine Print that also goes hard af for either setting imo.
The entire soundtrack from FTL is fantastic and catchy and full of ear worms.
Sonic two when sonic drowns.
The festival song or cascade theme, both from mario odyssey.
I also really like celeste’s soundtrack
As far as Pokemon goes, I’ve always been partial to the Team Galactic battle theme from DPPT. And though “catchy” doesn’t quite do it justice, the night theme for Jubilife City, also in DPPT, is tremendous. Walking into that city for the first time at night was one of the defining moments of my video game life.
And the Shiver City theme from Paper Mario is unforgettable.
I don’t think anything will ever beat Still Alive from Portal though.
Iwatodai Dorm from Persona 3 Reload was the most recent one that really got stuck in my head, but it happens a lot for me. It’s not always video game music, but probably is a majority of the time.

The Driftveil City Theme from Pokemon B&W pops up in my mind quite frequently, I’d say its up there in the list for catchiest Pokemon tunes. Honorable mention for Cave Story’s Main Theme (the wii version is clearly superior from all others and I will not accept any other opinions on the matter)
Everything from Grim Fandango.
Not what you asked for, but my music taste was shaped massively by Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series
For me it’s Gyromite: Gyromite - NES
Ever since I first heard it a few months ago, it has never left my mind for even a second.
Free by Crush 40
Sadly this great song was tied to a spin-off series killing game.
I feel like Sea Shanty 2 from Old School Runescape is a strong contender. Even if you have never played Runescape there is a good chance you know it.
It’s cheating, but there was a track in need for speed carbon that was catchy as hell. Love me or hate me, by Lady Sovereign
Not technically video game music, but it’s one of the few tracks in any video game that I went out of my way to find outside of a game.
Old RuneScape Soundtrack: Harmony
It’s a recent one, but I haven’t been able to get Gestral Summer Party out of my head since I first heard it in Expedition 33 last month.
Digger (1980’s). It used the Popcorn song and nothing beats the Popcorn song.

A lot from Undertale.
Other than this, The Trumpet 4 is catchy as heck.
