== [[Platform Game]] ==
* ''[[Super Mario Bros.]].'' The main theme especially gets this treatment, considering how well known it is.
** ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' contains orchestral arrangements for the Bowser level and main level tunes from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
* Lately, the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series has been using orchestral rock mixes of the games' main themes as backing music for the [[Final Boss]] fights.
** ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'': "His World".
** ''[[Sonic Unleashed (Video Game)|Sonic Unleashed]]'': "Endless Possibilities."
** ''[[Sonic Colors (Video Game)|Sonic Colors]]'': "Reach for the Stars."
 
== [[Role Playing Game]] ==
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' games get this a lot. Square Enix has released orchestral albums of ''[[Final Fantasy I (Video Game)|Final Fantasy I]] and [[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|II]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy VI (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VI]]'', and there are several CD's based on orchestral concerts.
** ''[[Final Fantasy VII (Video Game)|Final Fantasy VII]]'' in particular - I think there's an orchestral version of virtually the entire soundtrack...
** Orchestrated themes for the actual game soundtrack are pretty commonplace for the series post-VII.
* The original ''[[MOTHER]]'' had a soundtrack CD that, rather than containing the NES games' eight bit melodies, reproduced them as fully orchestrated and vocal songs.
** Tropers may know its first song, "Pollyanna," from the fact that it's the official unofficial theme song of the [[Sugar Wiki]].
* [[OverclockedOverClocked Remix]] has ''Chrono Symphonic'', a retelling of ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'''s soundtrack entirely in orchestrations.
* The original soundtrack for ''[[Dragon Quest VIII (Video Game)|Dragon Quest VIII]]'' was fairly normal, but in the US release, every track was replaced with an orchestrated version of the original.
 
== [[Shoot'Em Up]] ==
* The fans of the ''[[Touhou Project]]'' are quite fond of making orchestral remixes of ZUN's [[Touhou (Video Game)/Awesome Music|already awesome music]].
 
== [[Sports Game]] ==
Line 52:
 
== [[Anime]] ==
* ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Literature)|Suzumiya Haruhi no Gensou]]''. [[Aya Hirano]] and [[Minori Chihara]] actually gave the vocals for four of the songs performed ("Bouken Desho Desho", "God Knows", "Lost My Music", and "Yuki Muon Madobe Nite").
* In ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', one of Nanoha's [[Leitmotif|Leitmotifs]], "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ysWdBTT4J8 Raising Heart, Set-Up!]", was later updated with "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR-vzNA1d0Q Raising Heart, Set Up! (The Magical Orchestra)]". When [[The Movie]] came, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzRnGEWmeaU another Orchestral Version of the song was created], and one of the the [[Limited Special Collectors Ultimate Edition|Limited Edition DVD/Blu-Ray]] bonuses show that they hired an actual orchestra to perform it along with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2UVZNqDbhU other] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnTg6PzZy9c similar] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9aDEx5gaN0 updates] to the Season 1 soundtrack.
 
== [[Theatre]] ==
* The original cast album of Styne, Comden and Green's semi-musical play ''Say, Darling'' replaced much of the two-piano accompaniment used in the production with orchestrations by Sid Ramin. Ramin and his then-uncredited assistant Robert Ginzler went on to orchestrate Jule Styne's next musical, ''[[Gypsy]]''.
* The original off-Broadway production of ''[[Assassins (Theatretheatre)|Assassins]]'' was done without a real orchestra, but [[Stephen Sondheim]]'s score was orchestrated for the original cast album.
 
== [[Web Original]] ==
* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]]'s theme tune has an orchestral version floating around on [[YouTube]], by the fans. It was later used in his videos.
