Say what you want about this game, it has some really good music going for it, largely thanks to the very skilled musician who has played Guitar on every Sonic game since Sonic Adventure. Devil Doom might not be the most memorable boss, but this track is certainly an amazing piece of Boss Fight music.


Open Your Heart/Perfect Chaos - Sonic Adventure

Open Your Heart is a great song. It was probably the first time I had seen a boss fight with lyrics, and it really has an amazing effect as you race down the ruined city Pittsburgh as Super Sonic, fighting a massive water monster that vaguely resembles Biolante.

I fixed that for you. But seriously that music is good, but I have a few more to add.

Zettai Hero Project: The Great Moment

ClaDun X2: Black Metallic Dragon

Blue Dragon: Eternity

The Great Moment from Zettai Hero Project is one of Nippon Ichi Software's best boss music, along with the aforementioned Black Metallic Dragon from ClaDun X2. Blue Dragon's Eternity is so bad, that it is good. Barkley Shut Up and Jam Gaiden said it the best: jesus christ the guy from deep purple sang this.

"Pokey Means Business" has remained my top favorite for years. This track is glorious; the immediate transition from chiptune to heavy metal at 0:52 is truly face melting:




"Supporting Me" is an honorable mention. The dark sci-fi atmosphere that this track creates is wonderful, and the piece starting at 0:52 is frisson-inducing for me:

I FULLY agree with this one. The only thing that tops it is the Dissidia remake...

I'll post just one for now, there may be others latter.

Ganondorf Battle - Ocarina of Time
Spoiler:

The moment this kicked in, my heart pounds and my blood rushes. The music itself tells you, "this is it." After all your trials, it's time to save Hyrule.

I was going to say Mega Man has the best boss music, but then I realized it's not technically boss music, but stage music.

So far the only boss music that had me really sweating bullets was this one:

The composition is wonderful, and all composed as an original piece, what with the instruments and violas and cellos and drums and a whole field of orchestral instruments. It's a true piece of music, which is to say something these days.

Without a doubt this is one of the best boss bettle musics I've ever heard. It feels like you are going up against a really dark force.

Spoiler:


Someone showed me the missing Digimon World game that I didn't get to see... and this boss music is incredible. Heard on the first and other few boss battles as you play through the game.

Haven't been able to get this song out of my head; always seem to be humming it.



Obviously have more than one song, but for the moment, this is my favorite.

I have quite a bit of favorite Boss Tracks, but my main ones I listen to on a good basis are:

Skull Heart Arrhythmia - Skullgirls
Unforgettable - Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
