Post subject:  Favorite Boss Music

One thing I miss so much in today's uber-realism games is bosses. They were even in the American games back when they were made right. Heck, I think we can all say we only play Megaman for its great bosses. But this post is all about their music. Whatever songs really get you pumped during a battle, or emphasize the epicness of the monster/person you're fighting. Here are my top picks, in no particular order.
NOTE: I would be grateful if you post a YouTube link to the song with your post. Just hearing about a song doesn't help much. If you can't find a link, it's fine.

FFVII
FFVII: One Winged Angel (Okay, you've all heard it before)
FFVIII
Jet Force Gemini
Paper Mario: Crystal King (the ORIGINAL, none of this Bowser-on-your-side crap)
Paper Mario: Bowser
Trauma Center UTK 2: Aletheia
Starfox 64: Andross' Brain (learning that there's a secret boss after playing the game like 50 times gives you such an insane rush)
Sonic 3 (& Knuckles): The Doomsday Zone (another "secret boss"; you only get this if you collected all the chaos emeralds)
Ridley (I took the one from Metroid Fusion, which I like. A lot of people have preferences, though)

No, no I do not, since I don't know what Ikariga is.

... Though if I'm not mistaken, "Kraidgief" walking all the way over to you in the battle against him plays something that sounds like "Yu Wa Shock"... Maybe that's also from it...

This tune from Tales of symphonia, it was from a few of the bonus battles, most notably the one against past tales stars.
Viewtiful Joe Another Joe boss theme.

Right...my favorite boss tracks would have to be...

Mischief Makers: Mini Boss (Track is Number 6)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon: Tsurami Boss Fight
Okami: Nechku and Lechku (COMMENTS HAVE SPOILERS)
Pokemon XD Gale of Darkness: Minor B Battle
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door: Shadow Sirens Battle
Super Mario RPG: Armed Boss
Space Channel 5: Evila Attack of The Perfect Reporter
Sonic Heroes: Metal Overlord (What I'm Made Of)
Sonic Adventure DX: Chaos 7 (Open Your Heart)
Super Paper Mario: The Ultimate Show (COMMENTS HAVE SPOILERS)
Tales of Symphonia: Fatalize
Tales of Symphonia: Fighting of the Spirit
Wario Land The Shake Dimension: Large Fry Cook Off

All of these are on Youtube if you wanna listen to them.

And although I can't find them, Mystical Ninja 2's final Impact boss and Billy Hatcher's boss tracks are great. And I also agree with Doomsday Zone.

Well....I have down load links to the music of Paper Mario, the 1st one.

So....I Love both of General Guys themes, Before the fight and during the fight. One of my all time favorite bosses.

You can say that again! :jake:

As for me, well...:

Castlevania: SoTN: Regular bosses' theme.
Yggdra Union: Gulcasa's Theme
Radiata Stories: Uber Enemy Theme
Soul Nomad & the World Eaters: Rock'n Rocks
Mana Khemia: Crystalized (I dunno, the label says "Battle Theme", but it IS a boss theme for me, since it's only used when we face Toni and Renee, so...)

I guess that's it, for some variety. :phoenix:

Yeah, when people in that game first started saying "He's invincible! He can't be killed!" I'm like "Pshaw. Yeah, time to show these guys some real hammertime."
Then I find that he's really invincible and I'm like "Uh oh. Guess I better avoid waking him up."
Then the key screams for him and I'm like "Oh........f***......me."
Cue adrenaline-rushing mad dash from the castle with the "RUN LIKE HELL" version of his theme playing.

Well, I was about nine or ten when I first fought Tubba Blubba... and I was too scared to even try fighting him to see if he was invincible so I just listened to the game. XD But oh my god, I still remember the adrenaline pumping when he starts chasing you! My poor controller stick.... XDDD

My favourite is Crocodile Cacophony from the Kaptain K.Rool boss fight from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

Second would have to be Boss Bossanova, the regular boss music from the same game.

Yeah, as if the chase isn't bad enough, he has to destroy practically the ENTIRE main hall. That always did scare the hell outta me.

Music was awesome though. ^_^

Without a doubt, that chase was AWESOME!!! For the entire level, you're avoiding Clubba after Clubba by slowly sneaking around them... (Or fighting them if you're trying to gain exp., but you're probably going bad since their attack is so freakin' powerful!), and then you see Tubba Blubba... We all thought it at one point... "Maybe all those claims of invincibility were wrong...?".

... They weren't.

Then you run out of the room, thinking he won't follow you... but when you see him RIGHT behind you, you're basically ignoring all your "Stealth" abilities.

"OUT OF MY WAY YOU STUPID CLUBBA!!!"

It was, by FAR, one of the best parts of the entire Paper Mario series, since very few parts of the MAIN STORYLINE pump you up like that one scene did... And he was only the THIRD Boss with a Star Spirit!!! And the MUSIC in that game was pure art at its finest. Each theme there seemed to compliment the boss you're fighting!

Anyways, from Earthbound, clocking it at an Unknown Weight...
