Line 97:
* ''[[Persona 3]]'' has a boss remix of the main theme as you fight the final boss. And a battle rendition of {{spoiler|''The Poem for Everyone's Souls'', aka The Velvet Room}}, for the penultimate boss fight.
** In ''The Answer'' portion of ''[[Updated Rerelease|Persona 3 FES]]'', the final battle theme "Darkness" is a boss remix of the ending theme, "Brand New Days."
** And ''[[Persona 4]]'''s final boss theme, "The Genesis", starts off as a dramatic, brooding piece, but it builds up towards a climax with an orchestral fanfare of "I'll Face Myself", one of the game's major [[Leitmotif|Leitmotifs]]s (which also happens to have a [[Boss Remix]]), finally building up to a triumphant finish with an instrumental version of "Reach Out To The Truth", the game's main battle theme (and arguably more the game's theme song than "Pursuing My [[True Self]]").
** ''Persona 3 Portable'' has "Danger Zone," the female protagonist's boss theme, which is a remix of the game's new opening theme, "Soul Phrase." The normal battle theme, "Wiping All Out" is something of a battle remix of "Soul Phrase" as well. In fact, a good deal of the female protagonist's new BGM consists of arrangements of "Soul Phrase"- similar to how several pieces of the male protagonist's BGM consist of "Burn My Dread" arrangements.
* Typically occurs in the ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' series, as before each boss encounter a [[Leitmotif|theme that is specific to the boss]] plays, which is then remixed for the battle. This is most obvious with bosses whose themes play multiple times before the actual fight, such as Bowser, Grodus, and Count Bleck.
Line 118:
*** "Forze dell'Oscurità" is a combination of the battle themes for Ansem and Xemnas, and is appropriately used for the battle against No Heart, {{spoiler|the Keyblade Armor of their original joined incarnation}}.
* In ''[[Parasite Eve]]'', [[Big Bad|Eve]]'s boss battle theme, "Influence of Deep", is a remix of her [[One-Woman Wail|opera singing]] from the start of the game, with techno music, some instruments and an [[Ominous Pipe Organ]] tossed in for good measure.
* ''[[Treasure of the Rudra]]'' has a different [[Boss Remix]] depending on which character's story the player is currently on, with the remix being of the character's overworld theme.
* The ''[[Tales (series)]]'' has a fondness for this.
** Only recently. [[Tales of the Abyss|Meaning of Birth]] and [[Tales of Vesperia|Fury Sparks]] are the only ones that qualify. [[Tales of Destiny|Irony of Fate]] is an inversion in that it's a boss battle theme remixed as a sad song when {{spoiler|Leon dies in the Remake}}.
Line 194:
** In Trials and Tribulations, when you're presenting the very last piece of evidence, a remix of the Cornered theme from the first game will play with an added drum track.
