Best Boss Battle Music/Song?

[Otherworld9)]

I've played many games so far, and I enjoy the music some final or normal bosses have. My personal favorite would be the Zero-Two's theme from Kirby64: The Crystal Shards soundtrack. I like the violins and how the theme just shows the situation. I also like Pyramid Head's battle theme "Betrayal" from Silent Hill 2 OST, as well as Taboo's in Super Smash Bros Brawl. I don't mind any videos, since I would love to hear some boss themes. :3

Do you have any favorite Boss Themes or soundtracks?

I have a few favourites and they're all fairly different.

First off, The Final Battle from Banjo-Kazooie by Grant Kirkhope. An epic version of "Teddy Bears' Picnic". Grunty's theme, Banjo's theme, and a bit of Tooty's theme all intertwined with a kickass rendition of the overworld theme and general awesomeness.

King Dedede's Theme from Kirby's Dream Land by Jun Ishikawa is instantly recognizable from just the opening static hum. I never owned this game as a child, but I would play my cousin's copy whenever I could to make it to the end, hear the music, unlock the sound test and listen to it on repeat.

Last Battle! (VS. Champion) from Pokémon Generation II by Junichi Masuda. I just think it's the most... Pokémony battle music.

Before Super Mario Sunshine happened, Bowser was a badass. And the aptly named Bowser from Yoshi's Island by Koji Kondo is proof that Bowser was born a badass - it's Baby Bowser's theme. The music is like no other piece in the game which is all music box in style and it is amazing. Kondo tends to like jazz, bluegrass, and calypso in his Mario compositions and out of nowhere came this great rock gem.

Continuing with Bowser... is Ultimate Bowser from Super Mario 64 by Koji Kondo. As a child the epicness of the music with the organ, combined with the oddly miscoloured (badly bruised?) Bowser in this battle just made it a fight for the ages.

But when it comes to epic final boss music there is only one claim to the title, Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI by Nobuo Uematsu. And operatic medley of themes from the game, this behemoth clocks in at almost 18 minutes! I haven't played the game, but that must have been one hell of a boss battle.


...why yes I did copy/paste this from another forum, for those of you in the know :p
