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

DuckTales - The Moon (change to 240p quality per comments)

Little Nemo The Dream Master - Night Sea

Metroid Prime - Phenandra Drifts

Um Jammer Lammy - Stage 4: Now Which One Is My Left Hand? (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!

Some rather obvious choices:

Final Fantasy VIII - The Castle [HQ] - YouTube
Final Fantasy VII - Judgement Day [HQ] - YouTube

Snakey Chantey



Midas River



Mole Mountain Railroad

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)

Best VGM 71 - Donkey Kong Country 2 - Stickerbush Symphony - YouTube
Donkey Kong Country 2 OST - Forest Interlude ~ Enchanted Wood Theme - YouTube
Best VGM 172 - Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambiance - YouTube

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

Additionally,
Final Fantasy VIII - Junction [HQ] - YouTube
Final Fantasy IX OST - Place of Memory ~ Memoria Theme - YouTube

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.

Yess!!! I love the NieR soundtrack! :D

One of my favorites from NieR is also Emil//Karma

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!



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



Might as well drop this here too...



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



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

FFII-Castle Pandemonium
FFIV-The Red Wings
FFVII-Judgement Day
FFVIII-The Castle

Great selections, but you missed one:

Golden Sun: The Lost Age

Final World Map Theme

Mars Lighthouse Theme


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


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? :(

Yeah this might be my favorite final dungeon song ever

yoshi's island is great.

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.

As with everything, Metal Gear Solid 1 delivers.
Rex's Lair

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.
Survival from the Force

Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith - The Gensokyo the Gods Loved



Golden Sun - Venus Lighthouse




...are the first that comes to mind.
