* Almost any fortress theme in the series. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAb_wlZX1bc#t=3m49s "Cosmic Heroes"]] (Nemesis 3 MSX), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDl6NI7miGA "Into Hostile Ship"]] (Gradius II AC), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9r6YzGucb7Q "Mechanical Base"]] of ''Gradius III'' are all great examples. So is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgPwhLPHfKg "Battleship"]] from ''Gradius V''. It starts with the first few notes of the first stage theme from ''Gradius I'', then kicks off into a high speed techno beat as you blast away enemy ships. The awesomeness level is taken UpToEleven when it is [[MickeyMousing Mickey Moused]] into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AMDbrNHbq4 the opening]].
