boss themes are great and all...

But let's talk about what we liked hearing on our way to the big baddie at the end, yeah?

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Another Winter/Snowy Toronto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTVBG1i_818)

DuckTales - The Moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF32DRg9opA) (change to 240p quality per comments)

Little Nemo The Dream Master - Night Sea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8dWYno4Ko0)

Metroid Prime - Phenandra Drifts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbbUv1hz6mE)

Um Jammer Lammy - Stage 4: Now Which One Is My Left Hand? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxk_Xa3rfcw) (this totally counts and might also be the best level in any game ever)

About twenty more came to mind, but I'm sure we're all thinking about of the few of the same ones in that cluster. Contribute!

Best VGM 172 - Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambiance - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDvKwSVuUGA)

I don't like the DKC music or anything. No sir.

Additionally,

Final Fantasy IX OST - Place of Memory ~ Memoria Theme - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_ThCuNfA_M)

And why can't I embed more than one video? This is discrimination!

But there's more! This is actually two tracks, but they are obviously meant to be a piece, or something.

Then immediately afterwards, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSjd9FsqSYA

It's a huge clock tower dungeon thing.

edit, again
I just keep remembering stuff.

[Aulayna]

This thread disappoints me that this isn't in here. It made the whole journey to the final level the best. I played stages in anticipation of just hearing this theme!

B93QQvL0CGQ

But I guess it's technically a boss theme too so...

oNXBpzDp1K8

Might as well drop this here too...

KC-B3Q0cRrY

Whilst I'm at it - the ultimate floor before the last floor dungeon floor theme!

R26yZ0BkPN4

And of course!

Oh also... on a more general "along the way hub that you go through a lot"

Okay well if we're posting Sonic we need Stardust Speedway in here which is the best Sonic tune.

That's a great one too, I generally love the entire soundtrack and I'd say the entirety of it is worth posting! :D

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne End Game ~World Map (Final Area) Theme

Persona 3 Final Month ~ Memories of the City

Chrono Trigger ~ Black Omen

Xenogears ~ Omen ~ Deus' Theme (Inside Deus)

Great selections, but you missed one:

Golden Sun: The Lost Age

Final World Map Theme
k0exZGxC23s
Mars Lighthouse Theme
0ytoYlkxoAg

Not sure which would count (is this thread on final dungeon, or just endgame music in general?), but they are both awesome.


Might as well share a few more while I'm at it.

Megaman Battle Network 3
Final Transmission Theme
hLY0M_sZVDM

Rune Factory 3
Dragon Cave Theme

I cannot wait for Rune Factory 4. *Squeee* Although it's coming out the day after Shin Megami Tensei IV, so how the heck am I supposed to choose which to play? :(

Some penultimate boss theme up in the house! Always loved doing the Elite Four more than the League Champion themselves because the music was far cooler.

[Forsaken Lover]

As with everything, Metal Gear Solid 1 delivers.
Rex's Lair (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=synBp17IGfo)

In a similar vain, the unrivaled Baten Kaitos soundtrack also delivers. You want a great track for any and all occasions? Look no further than BK.
