Musical Spoiler: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Mother 3]]'' has one that, if you're paying attention to it, hints at the twist that {{spoiler|1=Fassad is really Locria, the seventh and final Magypsy. When he confronts your party as 'New/Miracle Fassad,' the musical horns he now has fitted to him play an even further distorted version of the saxophone line in the Magypsys' leitmotif.}}

** Additionally, all player characters and enemies have a certain instrument or sound (electric guitars, horns, animal noises, etc.) that plays when they attack, incorporated into the [[Rhythm Game|"sound battle" system.]] Because of this system, the player characters' combo instruments tend to stand out a bit more than the enemies', so it's easy to miss {{spoiler|one of the first giveaways to the Masked Man's identity. When you first fight him, his combo instrument is the same as Claus's when he fought alongside you at the beginning of the game.}} In a similar fashion, knowing that {{spoiler|Duster's combo instrument is a bass}} helps to remove any lingering doubt you might conceivably have as to Lucky's true identity, though this isn't as strong (or, indeed, as obscure) as the former example.

* Both the ''[[Penumbra (video game series)|Penumbra]]'' series and its spiritual successor ''[[Amnesia: The Dark Descent|Amnesia the Dark Descent]]'' play this trope straight. Hide or run until the caution/danger music stops playing and the enemies are guaranteed to have left the area.

* ''[[Bayonetta]]'' example: One of the very last boss fights is accompanied by a song named {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFPVWv7X0c4 You May Call Me Father]. [[Luke, I Am Your Father|Yes, that kind.]]}} Needless to say, a single look at the game's soundtrack blows that particular [[The Reveal|reveal]] right out the window.
