thebobmaster 31 April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 Warning: This is a cover so awesome, your head may explode. By the way, my personal choice, if I had to pick one of them, would be Sonic 3's main boss battle theme. Then again, that may be because it reminds me of "Eleanor Rigby", for some reason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwpKjVUThKs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koori 156 April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 Oh God... such a hard question. ... There are so many epic boss themes I've heard. Hmm... Well I find two good boss themes and those are: The Sun Rises from Okami http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3yxTbkh5s&list=LLTzCGli5ypcSdi2EIwdJOTg This is such beautiful music. After everything that happened before this and when it finally started to play, I felt like I could never give up. That I could beat anyone. This epic music deserves recognition. The Final Battle from Trauma Team http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYJArcWeoMA&list=LLTzCGli5ypcSdi2EIwdJOTg I haven't played Trauma Team, mainly because I live in Europe and the game is NOT sold here, but heard this piece on YouTube and I immediately thought "Holy smokes! This is intense". And that it is. This is surprisingly intense music for hospital simulator (if you can call this game that) and sounds pretty epic. I felt like I should keep fighting whatever I was facing no matter how long it would take. I also have some honorable mentions: J-E-N-O-V-A from Final Fantasy VII This one sounds great. If Nobuo Uematsu can do anything, it's music. This boss music fits so perfectly for a boss battle. Enough said. Boss Battle Theme from Final Fantasy IX Most gamers seem to have forgotten this golden Playstation game. The game that returned Final Fantasy to its roots. Anyway, this boss battle music sounds so great. Again, kudos to Nobuo Uematsu. This music makes you feel like you're facing something big... and hard to beat enemy and yet you have to fight despite how desperate it seems. That's what I felt when this music played. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urkelbot 63 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 I have a few that I LOVE, and listen to in my car quite often. First up is from a game called Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. It was kind of a gateway drug to RPG's. is the Final boss Battle from TMNT 4: Turtles in time. It's a crazy synth-thrash eargasm There are tons more, but these are my current favorites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinyl Scratch (Filly)™ 936 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 This, personally is one of my more favourite boss themes. Kingdom Hearts is an amazing game and the soundtrack for the games is generally pretty awesome in my opinion ^^;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainblow H. Ash 5,090 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 I have a ton of favorite boss themes, but one that instantly leaps into my head when I think about boss music is the theme of the Babalu Defense Mechanism Boss from Super C: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,684 April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 (edited) My favorite video game boss themes would have to be, from the villain from Far Cry 3 known as Vaas who defined to us the definition of insanity.

This is another NES soundtrack I jam to in my car... that's not abnormal, right? anyway, lots of good tunes in Super C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is another NES soundtrack I jam to in my car... that's not abnormal, right? anyway, lots of good tunes in Super C Oh yes, I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the soundtrack to Super C. Another gem from that game: I also thoroughly enjoy the music from Contra: Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra.

Golurk 467 April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 (edited) For the sake of keeping my post a reasonable length, I won't include final bosses. WAY too many ones I love in that department. So, Imma just leave a bunch of boss themes I like. They're all dang awesome. In no particular order: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwv3LBMhX3g Others I couldn't link: "Rundas' Theme" - Metroid Prime 3 "Natural Killer Cyborg" - Mother 3 "Unova Elite Four"- Pokemon B/W "Bouldergeist/ Kingfin" - Super Mario Galaxy "Saturos' Theme" - Golden Sun "Molgera Battle" - LoZ: Wind Waker Edited April 27, 2013 by Yosef von Uzenvard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgeworth1001 648 April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 I got so many, but the ones I'm currently in love with right now are the boss battle themes in Metal Gear Rising. I also liked the Wheatley boss theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashy 2,799 April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 Oh-ho-ho, wow. I knew this thread would eventually come, but...I still don't think I'm quite ready for it. Prepare to be bombarded, nonetheless. (But to be easy on y'alls, I'll limit it to one song per franchise.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6MJsn_E7d0 [sonic 3 & Knuckles] Mega Man 8 boss (and, you know, every other Mega Man boss theme ever written) (this game had some of THE most atmospheric music on the SNES) There's more...SO many more...but I think I'll end it here for the sake of everyone else's sanity. What? No 'Dancing Mad' yet? I must remedy this: [media] It makes a lot more sense when you know the musical themes from FFVI, and listening how they're integrated into it. It also helps to have the game's visuals and a minor knowledge of the symbolism of it all, but even without, it's a great piece. You...are eternally awesome for this. Just letting you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyra 56 April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 (edited) I went trough the whole list of boss music and I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE WASEN'T A PRIMAL DIALGA IN THERE! Or A FINAL BOSS OF BOWSER INSIDE STORY! oh well....everyone to they're tastes I guess Edited April 27, 2013 by Guyra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtore 2,769 April 27, 2013 Share April 27, 2013 (edited) Another theme that I think deserves to be here is the masked Dedede theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra. I just love this song, it fits so well for that battle as well. *starts spinning a giant oversized hammer in tempo with the music* (also check out the masked octagon remix of this) Edited April 27, 2013 by Celtore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutemutt 772 May 3, 2013 Share May 3, 2013 I'm back with couple more songs, this time they're from the paper mario series. The Ultimate Show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-ph_1Dm5DQ What's cool about this song is that it is a mix of three other themes in the game, each of those themes being very important to the boss itself. Talk about style points. Bowser Battle The boss no one saw coming (or at least I didn't) but he makes quite an entrance, bringing a nice track with him.

An Old Head 4,815 May 4, 2013 Author Share May 4, 2013 I went trough the whole list of boss music and I CANNOT BELIEVE THERE WASEN'T A PRIMAL DIALGA IN THERE! To be honest, I would've posted that theme, but I imagine it to be not nearly as appealing when it's out of context. See, if you've played through PMD2 and immersed yourself with the wonderful story, characters and sentiments, the theme is truly sensational. But otherwise, it's great at best. Another theme that I reckon is freaking awesome is... well, it might not count as a boss, but the Control Core showdown in Borderlands 2! It's both pressure, adrenaline and hollowness... I love when themes can pull off multiple emotions like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutemutt 772 May 4, 2013 Share May 4, 2013 Okay, I promise this will be the last the last time I post in this topic for a while. So first up, we have Game Breaker, composed by Sato Tenpei and featured in the game Phantom Brave. It's not a very well known game, so I imagine not many have heard this song. If you liked it, he also has another version on his "best of" album. You can listen to it here. Now, I usually don't post "classics" because people tend to nostalgia all over it, but I'll make an exception just this once for The Extreme. I love this song, especially the intro (honestly, it's my favorite part). Yes, yes, I know. Nobuo Uematsu, da gawd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DusK 1,264 May 6, 2013 Share May 6, 2013 (edited) Woah, this thread's a thing? I still stand firm that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance takes game OST of the year 2013, and "Rules of Nature" is pretty much one of the most badass themes ever created. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LmYHOZorwc The Vocal Tracks version is awesome, but it doesn't give justice to , with dynamic shifts in the music based on what's going on during the fight.
