Favourite boss theme-songs?

Archive: 21 posts


The question is simple: what are your favorite videogame boss themes?

Since I enjoy music, I got a few here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm8845Ddz3s&feature=related

Ripto's Arena from Spyro 2
This song was just so freaking...epic! Plus, Ripto was a cool antagonist who deserved a good battle theme.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8Y7k3eB2is

Neo Cortex battle theme from Crash Bandicoot Warped
Ok, this theme is just pretty **** awesome. It's back from the time when Crash Bandicoot was something cool and a cool game ain't a cool game without a cool bad-guy. Oh, and this song has that cool guitar solo!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGYG_bV5q1Y&feature=related

Gulp's overlook from Spyro 2

Ok, first of all, I HATED this boss 'cause when I was a kid, I used to get my sack handed to me by that freaking beast :eek:
But this theme is just so menacing and it reminds me of Jaws at certain points.

Ok, that'll be it for me...so far. Let's keep a 3 songs per one message. Otherwise, we'll run out

Tales of the Abyss rival boss theme, orchestrated remix of main theme... love it and the battle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyrWRgg_6KE

Roxas Boss theme from Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix. Never released in states. I love some remixes more, but this is the original, soooooo yeah.

Game: Final Fantasy X Song: Otherworld Boss: Braska's Final Aeon. (Note: song also on Dissidia: Final Fantasy)
Otherworld is just EPIC!
Strange thing is, FF songs are usually opera like- but Otherworld is heavy metal!

Tyrannosaurus Wrecks and The Ripper theme from Medievil 2

I just love this theme! Just listen to it! I hope that there was Medievil 3

The Count from Medievil 2

Epic battle and they really were pretty smart when turning the battle a bit more tactical by using the mirrors

Shadow of the Colossus - The Opened Way

Fades in after 5 minutes during the battle with the Boss... epic to say the least

Videogame music, gotta love it. Wayyy too many I like, but these are some of my favorites:

Speaking of Shadow of the Colossus, I personally like "A Despair Filled Fairwell":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A10qew_PQlk
But honestly, the entire soundtrack is awesome.

From Einhander, "Badlands':
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn1AGEV44Zk
Like Shadow of the Colossus, the entire soundtrack of Einhander is awesome.

From Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles, "Dance of Illusions":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dznUMYJAj0A
"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk! Have at you!" This one has appeared in multiple Castlevanias but this is my favorite incarnation.

The Boss Theme from Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Tubba Blubba's battle music from Paper Mario

Tabuu's Theme, from SSBB.

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/trRVQepf0iQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/trRVQepf0iQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Best Boss Theme Ever, in my opinion. The only bad thing is it makes you want more.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up

From Suikoden 2: "The Chase":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX8fKtjpr_E
Just about every fan agrees that Suikoden 2 was the best in the series and Luca Blight its most evil villain, and it was time for him to go down hard.

From Metroid Prime: "Meta Ridley":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLLjibR_c4Q
Like Dracula, Ridley's had a few versions of his theme and this one's the best I think.

From Tales of Destiny, "Leon-Victim of Fate/Lion-Irony of Fate":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0feOFmmK1Y
With a theme song this cool it's no wonder Leon's one of the more popular characters in the Tales franchise, even if he is a ****** in the game he debuted.

And the reason fewer people are putting FF examples here? The more commercially popular you are, the more likely you'll be critically unpopular? I would've put up "Battle on the Big Bridge" myself but I felt like giving credit to more obscure titles.

Lol, I think I'm going to be the first one to post a song with actual vocals.

Suggestions: The song gets good at the 1:00 mark. But personally, I love the part at the 3:00 mark. It's get me more in a battle state.

Whee!

From Batman-Arkham Asylum: Rumble In The Jungle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEcdz7XFn1Q
Not only is AA the best comicbook videogame mankind has yet seen it's soundtrack is also the sweet lovechild of the music of the Burton and Nolan films and Batman: The Animated Series.

From Demon's Souls: Theme of Phalanx
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMphk_j27yw
Demon's Souls is a distinctly challenging game in a market that has been catering to more casual gamplayers in recent years and it has some truly memorable and monsterous boss fights. This is just the theme of the first real boss and when I first fought it and listened to this I knew I was in for a real videogaming experience.

From Armored Core 4 Answer: Spirit of Motherwill
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LDSSD7bm3s
Armored Core is something of a cult favorite franchise outside of Japan and most people don't really know it has some great music, and also awesome music where it counts. I actually don't have 4 Answer myself but the epic soundtrack and bosses it has makes me tempted to reignite my interest in the series.

The final boss of Super Mario Galaxy had incredible music. Youtube doesn't do it justice as it changes based on the fight... I can't describe it well. It just put a huge grin on my face.

The grin then turned to a frown as I tried to figure out wtf the ending meant

ankator hunt from monster hunter

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVnXwwrbfyY

And Demise of the ritual, the final Boss (kinda except the secret one) From shadow of the collosus Malus. This music just fits the theme becuase
your horse falls off a cliff and you are really sad, he gave his life to save yours

Going off of Dapiek's AC choice I'll post my favorite song from fA. It's not really a boss song but it plays in the multiplayer enough times that I refer to it as my rival's theme. lol

Armored Core: for Answer - The Blood Honey Cannot Stop! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA2uSjAGhCY&feature=related

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite - Naruga Kuruga boss theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCK0vjTNMU4

Finally... MH's version of Sephiroth (At least till Tri hits)
