Line 33:
* In the level "[[Doctor Strangelove|No Fighting in the War Room]]" in ''[[Call of Duty]] 4: [[Modern Warfare]]'', a different version of tracks from previous levels are played out as the time runs out. The very last track before the timer reaches zero is, for example, reminiscent of the intro to "Crew Expendable".
* In ''[[Return to Castle Wolfenstein]]'', the music intensifies as the timer runs down during [[Timed Mission|timed missions]].
* One level of ''[[Splinter Cell]]: Chaos Theory'', where you have to disarm [[Time Bomb|Time Bombs]]s, integrated the beeping of the bombs into an increasingly frantic techno piece.
* In the 3D ''Zelda'' games, music will speed up in minigames when time is almost out. Similarly, timed switches in many of the games emit a series of rhythmic clicks or ticks which gradually become faster until the switch deactivates itself.
** In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'', the theme in Clock Town is slightly faster on Day Two, and even faster, with a frantic undertone, on the Final Day. It gets even worse [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZQa4iY0Fj0 in the last 6 hours].

Line 57:
* ''Winback'' does this at 50% health, then again at 25% health.
* As mentioned above, the ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' example doubles as this once the timer hits one minute.
* The danger/panic themes in the ''[[Syphon Filter]]'' series were usually faster remixes or [[Variable Mix|Variable Mixes]]es of the level themes, although sometimes completely different.
* ''[[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|Golden Eye 1997]]'' did this in [[Timed Mission]] or high-alert situations. ''[[Perfect Dark]]'' takes it even further with every stage's track having an alternate "X" version that plays when an alarm is triggered or you are at a mission critical point.
* Many [[Battle Theme Music|boss battle themes]] are [[Boss Remix|sped-up remixes]].

* ''[[Battletoads]]'' does it in several levels, including all the levels on a vehicle.
