* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9RVU83H_JI "Unbreakable Chains"]], the theme for the last battle with Vanitas, is ''sweet.'' [[ThemeSongReveal Listen closely for hints of certain other characters' theme songs]].

* The Unversed Boss music, particularly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OORkixXUSs "Unforgettable"]], is fun, as well as giving huge hints that the Unversed come from Vanitas due to the similarity of the themes.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2lxCUlMi3o "Dismiss"]], the FinalBoss theme, takes the already awesome "Fragments of Sorrow", mixes it with Aqua and Terra's themes, and brings out both a feeling of foreshadowing and tragedy as Aqua has to defeat her possessed former friend. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8UJVaXUzGo Its remix]] in 2.5 HD Remix manages to make it even more amazing.

* These two remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvRxeElDH7g "Scherzo Di Notte"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLVX8VbBvgw "Radiant Garden"]], which take the already great original songs and adds a touch of grandiosity fitting for ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''[='s=] version of the world. And it's even more awesome when you realize this is a song of Radiant Garden a.k.a. Hollow Bastion in its glory before Xehanort ruined it and Maleficent took it over.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o1SaZvv7wI "Aqua's Theme"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8N64BAzTg "Destiny's Union"]], both of which are associated with Aqua and especially befit her character. "Aqua's Theme" is incredibly tragic, being one of the saddest tracks in the franchise, reflecting how during the game's events Aqua loses everything she holds dear. There is simply no hope left, only sorrowful acceptance and loneliness. "Destiny's Union", while still a rather sorrowful track, has glimpses of hope in it.

It has a sense of urgency that fits the tone of the fight that ''[=KHII=]'' didn't have. The song makes that scene. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3CA6L_YjHE "Terra's Theme"]] isn't bad either and fits Terra's resolve and will. It is also similar to "Rage Awakened" since both songs are affiliated with Terra, either as himself or as the Lingering Will.
* Seeing as the game's new BonusBoss, The Mysterious Figure, is [[RuleOfCool awesome enough as it is]], it's no surprise [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKI3a9pqJg0 his theme, "Dark Impetus"]], is ''easily'' one of the best in the game.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4MQqrL0x4Q "The Silent Forest"]], Enchanted Dominion's theme, is beautifully haunting. Considering that ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' had a soundtrack entirely comprising classical music, it's no surprise that the world based on it has fittingly great music. Having said that, listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At9ttd4RxXk "The Rustling Forest"]], the battle theme of Enchanted Dominion, and try not to go deaf from how awesome it is.
* Impossible as it may seem, the Ice Cream Beat mini-game actually managed to come up with a version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vkj7x4gCRQ "It's A Small World"]] that's not only not-cringe-inducing, but actually pretty good! (it helps that the thing that makes the original so ear-grating--the singing--is absent).
* From the game's Final Mix we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7I5nbQL23E "Master, Tell Me The Truth"]], the battle theme for The Armor of The Master, a simulation of Master Eraqus' Keyblade Armor, which incorporates some of the Land of Departure's battle theme.

It starts off as quiet and creepy before rapidly going into a "Holy shit! What the hell is that thing?!" as the boss comes out of nowhere. It alternates between quiet yet fast paced to frantic and terrifying.

Which is ''again'' remixed into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyHeUtacaNc "The Key"]], Aqua's (and Mickey's) final boss theme against Vanitas-possessed Ventus and his completed χ-Blade.

* The haunting [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVINeir1TDk "Sunset Horizons"]] that plays in the Keyblade Graveyard really gets across the tragedy of what has and will transpire in that place. It doesn't matter that you just spent 30-40ish hours playing as these characters. THEY. WILL. LOSE. Interestingly, it has some of Aqua's Theme laced into it, hinting that she is the only one to truly survive the encounter with Xehanort and Vanitas here.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAVBjpqBOOY "Eternal Moments"]], an extraordinary remake of ''358/2''[='=]s "At Dusk, I Will Think of You" that plays when Ventus gets to first meet Lea and Isa in Radiant Garden. Also, note that the music has more slightly upbeat feeling compared to "At Dusk, I Will Think of You" which sounds relatively calm and slow.

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8UJVaXUzGo [[https://youtu.be/A8UJVaXUzGo Its remix]] in 2.5 HD Remix manages to make it even more amazing.
*[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7iXaXU0I2k [[https://youtu.be/U7iXaXU0I2k "Makaukau"]], the Deep Space battle music. It's pretty much '''hardcore techno'''.
* These two remixes of[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvRxeElDH7g [[https://youtu.be/WvRxeElDH7g "Scherzo Di Notte"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLVX8VbBvgw [[https://youtu.be/PLVX8VbBvgw "Radiant Garden"]], which take the already great original songs and adds a touch of grandiosity fitting for ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep''[='s=] version of the world. And it's even more awesome when you realize this is a song of Radiant Garden a.k.a. Hollow Bastion in its glory before Xehanort ruined it and Maleficent took it over.
*[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6o1SaZvv7wI [[https://youtu.be/6o1SaZvv7wI "Aqua's Theme"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GU8N64BAzTg [[https://youtu.be/GU8N64BAzTg "Destiny's Union"]], both of which are associated with Aqua and especially befit her character. "Aqua's Theme" is incredibly tragic, being one of the saddest tracks in the franchise, reflecting how during the game's events Aqua loses everything she holds dear. There is simply no hope left, only sorrowful acceptance and loneliness. "Destiny's Union", while still a rather sorrowful track, has glimpses of hope in it.
*[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiVEiw6Akfo [[https://youtu.be/JiVEiw6Akfo "The Tumbling"]], otherwise known as the Wheel Master battle. Fans were rearranging and remixing this track almost immediately after it was revealed in an early gameplay trailer. It also plays in the battle against Symphony Master. Definitely a perfect boss theme for a MusicalAssassin.
*[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuztTg-3k4o [[https://youtu.be/zuztTg-3k4o "Rage Awakened -The Origin-"]]. For all the awesomeness from ''[=KHII=]'', it's even better here. It has a sense of urgency that fits the tone of the fight that ''[=KHII=]'' didn't have. The song makes that scene. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3CA6L_YjHE [[https://youtu.be/c3CA6L_YjHE "Terra's Theme"]] isn't bad either and fits Terra's resolve and will. It is also similar to "Rage Awakened" since both songs are affiliated with Terra, either as himself or as the Lingering Will.
* Seeing as the game's new BonusBoss, The Mysterious Figure, is [[RuleOfCool awesome enough as it is]], it's no surprise[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKI3a9pqJg0 [[https://youtu.be/rKI3a9pqJg0 his theme, "Dark Impetus"]], is ''easily'' one of the best in the game.
*[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4MQqrL0x4Q [[https://youtu.be/Z4MQqrL0x4Q "The Silent Forest"]], Enchanted Dominion's theme, is beautifully haunting. Considering that ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' had a soundtrack entirely comprising classical music, it's no surprise that the world based on it has fittingly great music. Having said that, listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At9ttd4RxXk [[https://youtu.be/At9ttd4RxXk "The Rustling Forest"]], the battle theme of Enchanted Dominion, and try not to go deaf from how awesome it is.
* Impossible as it may seem, the Ice Cream Beat mini-game actually managed to come up with a version of[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Vkj7x4gCRQ [[https://youtu.be/1Vkj7x4gCRQ "It's A Small World"]] that's not only not-cringe-inducing, but actually pretty good! (it helps that the thing that makes the original so ear-grating--the singing--is absent).
* From the game's Final Mix we have[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7I5nbQL23E [[https://youtu.be/_7I5nbQL23E "Master, Tell Me The Truth"]], the battle theme for The Armor of The Master, a simulation of Master Eraqus' Keyblade Armor, which incorporates some of the Land of Departure's battle theme.
* Also from the Final Mix,[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC02szNAZMQ [[https://youtu.be/FC02szNAZMQ "Forze dell'Oscurita"]], which is the battle theme of No Heart, a simulation of Master Xehanort's Keyblade Armor. It epically combines "Forze del Male" with "Darkness of the Unknown" for music of sheer power. There's some FridgeBrilliance with "Forze dell'Oscurita", as well: not only does it contain part of Xemnas' final battle music, but the section it borrows comes from when you're fighting Armored Xemnas, whose appearance is almost identical to No Heart's.
* Another one from the Final Mix is[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyWMEMkmMEQ [[https://youtu.be/MyWMEMkmMEQ "Hunter of the Dark"]] from the Secret Episode. It starts off as quiet and creepy before rapidly going into a "Holy shit! What the hell is that thing?!" as the boss comes out of nowhere. It alternates between quiet yet fast paced to frantic and terrifying.
* The beautiful, almost-holy-sounding[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x3QPs2ZWwE [[https://youtu.be/9x3QPs2ZWwE "The Key of Light"]], and its chilling DarkReprise [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbcnWWpqFrM [[https://youtu.be/EbcnWWpqFrM "The Key of Darkness"]]. Which is ''again'' remixed into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyHeUtacaNc [[https://youtu.be/qyHeUtacaNc "The Key"]], Aqua's (and Mickey's) final boss theme against Vanitas-possessed Ventus and his completed χ-Blade.
* The version of[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM0ouoHjUAA [[https://youtu.be/UM0ouoHjUAA "The Encounter"]] used in ''Birth By Sleep'' may be superior to the original! And it gets used in an awesome way in 3D when it plays during the [[WesternAnimation/RunawayBrain Julius]] BonusBoss fight.
* The haunting[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVINeir1TDk [[https://youtu.be/mVINeir1TDk "Sunset Horizons"]] that plays in the Keyblade Graveyard really gets across the tragedy of what has and will transpire in that place. It doesn't matter that you just spent 30-40ish hours playing as these characters. THEY. WILL. LOSE. Interestingly, it has some of Aqua's Theme laced into it, hinting that she is the only one to truly survive the encounter with Xehanort and Vanitas here.
*[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAVBjpqBOOY [[https://youtu.be/EAVBjpqBOOY "Eternal Moments"]], an extraordinary remake of ''358/2''[='=]s "At Dusk, I Will Think of You" that plays when Ventus gets to first meet Lea and Isa in Radiant Garden. Also, note that the music has more slightly upbeat feeling compared to "At Dusk, I Will Think of You" which sounds relatively calm and slow. This is to indicate how the characters still have heart, as opposed to them as nobodies without heart in ''358/2'' [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance (at the time, at least)]].
*[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l7kDvXHfK8 [[https://youtu.be/6l7kDvXHfK8 "Tears of the Light"]], plays at Terra's first scene in Castle of Dreams and Aqua's first scene in Dwarf Woodlands.
* Who can forget[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-l4TtGFT9o [[https://youtu.be/d-l4TtGFT9o "Night of the Dark Dream"]] that plays for the Realm of Darkness? It's creepy, haunting and gives a pervading feeling of hopelessness, which is perfectly fitting for Aqua's situation.
*"[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuJMuVtUGqg "[[https://youtu.be/ZuJMuVtUGqg Extreme Encounters]]" only plays twice in the game, but it is very noticeable for playing during the Tremaine family's MoralEventHorizon when they summon the Cursed Coach to murder Cinderella because they hate her. While Aqua is denied the chance of directly fighting the trio to the death, beating the Unversed to ensure Cinderella is finally freed from years of hate and abuse and finally marry PrinceCharming and [[EarnYourHappyEnding earn her happy ending]] (for now) is rewarding enough. The other time the song plays is when Terra fights a Hades-possessed Zack; the aftermath of that cutscene is Terra being viewed as a hero by everyone in Olympus Coliseum.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4MQqrL0x4Q "The Silent Forest"]], Enchanted Dominion's theme, is beautifully haunting. Considering that ''Disney/SleepingBeauty'' had a soundtrack entirely comprising classical music, it's no surprise that the world based on it has fittingly great music. Having said that, listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At9ttd4RxXk "The Rustling Forest"]], the battle theme of Enchanted Dominion, and try not to go deaf from how awesome it is.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jStMTwkPwOo "The Silent Forest"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55vPMQYDfB4 "The Secret Whispers"]]. Recognize the names and themes? You should, because these two tracks play for Enchanted Dominion and Dwarf Woodlands respectively. And like "Forze dell'Oscurita", these two themes are mashups of those themes with "Night of the Dark Dream"! It certainly gives the feeling of them being subsumed into the Realm of Darkness. If only the Castle of Dreams had its own Realm of Darkness version of "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Au2iHcPe8 Aqua's theme]] gets a DarkReprise consisting of piano arranged much like a ScareChord with sad violins thrown in for good measure. It is used as the boss theme for Phantom Aqua, who embodies all of Aqua's doubts and represents the Realm of Darkness' attempts to break her.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuztTg-3k4o "Rage Awakened -The Origin-"]]. For all the awesomeness from ''[=KHII=]'', it's even better here. It has a sense of urgency that fits the tone of the fight that ''[=KHII=]'' didn't have. The song makes that scene. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3CA6L_YjHE "Terra's Theme"]] isn't bad either and fits Terra's resolve and will. It is also similar to "Rage Awakened" [[spoiler: since both songs are affiliated with Terra, either as himself or as the Lingering Sentiment/Will]].

There's some FridgeBrilliance with "Forze dell'Oscurita", as well: [[spoiler: not only does it contain part of Xemnas' final battle music, but the section it borrows comes from when you're fighting Armored Xemnas, whose appearance is almost identical to No Heart's.]]

"Saddest and almost depressing" is redundant in this context.

"Aqua's Theme" is incredibly tragic, being one of the saddest and almost depressing score of the franchise, reflecting how during the game's events Aqua loses everything she holds dear. There is simply no hope left, only sorrowful acceptance and loneliness. "Destiny's Union", while still a rather sorrowful track, has glimpses of hope in it.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPatwqWh8pk "The Tumbling"]], otherwise known as the Wheel Master battle. Fans were rearranging and remixing this track almost immediately after it was revealed in an early gameplay trailer. It also plays in the battle against Symphony Master. Definitely a perfect boss theme for a MusicalAssassin.

It starts off as quiet and creepy before rapidly going into a "Holy shit! What the hell is that thing?!" as the boss comes out of nowhere.
