Line 27:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzitdFZvOjA Disappeared], the suitably creepy boss music to the Unknown in the first FM, {{spoiler|which pops up again in KHII as Xemnas's first boss battle theme.}}
 
=== ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories]]'' (and ''<nowiki>Re:CoM</nowiki>'') ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dGA1NlqWmo&feature=PlayList&p=A0A1ECE06F5A6B0E&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=1 Memories in Pieces], the opening theme which has bits from "Hand in Hand," a chilling version of "Scent of Silence," Naminé's beautiful theme, and then the ominously awesome [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li9qTVVk1AA "Castle Oblivion."]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dISNd0d8vPM Naminé's theme]. Much like Kairi's theme, it's so beautiful. It also uses something similar to [[Final Fantasy|"Prelude"]] as a background tune.
Line 38:
* It's version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe5WV17WyLs&feature=related Dearly Beloved] is also quite sweet.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JUlNMAklhs Night ] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQW-ldFd-AQ of Fate, ] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wB0AlGnkE2A full stop.] This song is the battle theme of Destiny Islands and acts as a musical accompaniment for Sora's sadness, confusion, and drive against the Heartless until he comes to understand himself and his power....on the night when all this happened, no less. Creative name.
=== ''[[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]]'' ===
* As good as [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yna9FIlV03Y "Dearly Beloved"] was in the original, Shimomura just turned it into an utter masterpiece for the second game.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9DDGibV9yU Roxas's theme], due to its context at the end of the [[Prolonged Prologue]]: "Sora, you're lucky. Looks like my summer vacation is...over..."
Line 73:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qodhFU4q_OM&feature=related Desire For All That Is Lost.] It even makes up for Phil's endless repeating of [[Most Annoying Sound|"GET UP ON THE HYDRA'S BACK!"]]
 
=== ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358 Days Over 2 (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'' ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIv_dEa_vrM Xion's Theme] ''definitely'' counts, being a melancholy variation on Kairi's theme that is quite fitting for the character.
** Someone actually decided to cover this song. And by cover, it's actually complete with original lyrics and some pretty good singers to boot. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5aGEMqca4M Here you go!]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbGVnbKEu2M The mix of "Another Side"] used for the [[Doomed Byby Canon]] final boss battle that was first shown in the track's original appearance in the Final Mix version of ''Kingdom Hearts''.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIz1erKdcUg Vector to the Heavens], {{spoiler|Xion's final battle theme which is a remix of her character theme.}}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E-xPwnzdKQ The ''358/2 Days '' version] of a [[A Worldwide Punomenon|dearly beloved song]]. Shimomura must really like playing with this one to see how much more awesome she can make it.
Line 111:
* The version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM0ouoHjUAA The Encounter] used in ''Birth By Sleep'' may be superior to the original! {{spoiler|And it gets used in an awesome way in 3D when it plays during the [[Runaway Brain|Julius]] [[Bonus Boss]] fight.}}
 
=== ''[[Kingdom Heartscoded (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts re:coded]]'' ===
* This game's version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB0vyk1miNw Dearly Beloved] is very good as well.
* With [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw0zIY7saf0 No More Bugs!!], the System Area battle theme, and its [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxTgVta8_kI bug version], [[Crazy Awesome]]-ness kicks in with the form of techno battle themes.
Line 117:
* The new version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmfAMkNqPM8 Forgotten Challenge], the Castle Oblivion battle theme from ''Chain of Memories.''
 
=== ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' ===
* All three of the game's remixes from [[The World Ends With You]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_cJrbCYk9c&feature=related Twister], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJbszmEqI1E&feature=relmfu Calling], and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5oQP6mVcjM&feature=relmfu Someday].
* As the tradition goes, a new and amazing version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_iJ-z2zt9E Dearly Beloved] just as beautiful as all the others.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1G3pqNJh2U Xigbar's own leitmotif, debuting in this game.] It's the Organization XIII theme, only with a faster rhythm - a waltz, to be correct - and a creepy violin theme playing underneath. This is meant to invoke an unpleasant effect[[hottip:*: the same effect as, for example, [[The Legend of Zelda: MajorasMajora's Mask|The Third Day in Clock Town]]; and while it'd be spoileriffic to say why, this theme fits Xigbar {{spoiler|and Braig}} perfectly, {{spoiler|summing up his prominent role in the formation of the rest of the Organization}}.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u709KVNV2xM&feature=relmfu Link to All] is very upbeat theme that very well emphasizes Sora's ability to link so many hearts.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajn9SjkYGnI&feature=relmfu Dive] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3krHHAx0loY&feature=relmfu Into] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTVlQ_0_Pls&feature=relmfu the Heart] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgEGYgYfDls&feature=relmfu gets some] pretty badass remakes!
Line 144:
=== ''Drammatica'' ===
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhoGZNBBz98 Destati] got worked over, adding much more brass and giving a much more epic feel, making the original, once one of the greatest songs in the series, seem meek in comparison.
** Bonus points for its use in the [[Kingdom Hearts 3D (Video Game)|Dream Drop Distance]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbuM89wfZeQ trai] [http://youtu.be/RhvNgouXG4k lers].
** It's Fragments of Sorrow. '''[[This Is Sparta|UP.]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|TO.]] [[Up to Eleven|ELEVEN!!]]''' This is by far, THE most epic rendition of Fragments of Sorrow.
* The theme associated with Roxas, the Other Promise, also gained its own [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgUzWrTk1KI orchestral version]. Most of the song is spent building up, but the final climax brings both chills to the spine and a tear to the eye.
