** JohnWilliams is quite fond of this. Notable example: the closing credits from ''[[HarryPotter Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban]]'', which consisted of ''seven'' themes from the film back-to-back. And was awesome.

* The theatrical release of ''TheAbyss'' was the first JamesCameron film ([[{{Titanic}} but not]] [[Film/{{Avatar}} the last]]) to feature double-column/speeded-up end credits on account of all the people involved, so AlanSilvestri's end credit suite features "Finale," a lot of "Bud On The Ledge" and the ending of "Back On The Air" [[spoiler: (the music for Bud and the aliens heading to the surface)]] without the choir. When it was released on video, it had a slower and one-column only roll which therefore lasted much longer, and had a much longer suite to match made up of "Finale," "The Pseudopod," "Resurrection," a reprise of the first part of "Finale" [[spoiler: (for the spire rising scene)]], and the excerpts from "Bud On The Ledge" and "Back On The Air."

* The credits theme of ''{{Patapon}}'' and ''Patapon 2'' is a medley of songs introduced the games.

* [[VideoGame/StarFox Star Fox Command]].
* ''KidIcarusUprising''

* Occurs frequently in the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' games. Examples include ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast A Link to the Past]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]''.

* ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' uses this as a tribute to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'', whose music it borrows for the credits.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' as well. It's also virtually the ''only'' time you'll hear [[BootstrappedTheme the original]] ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' theme in the game.
** Not to mention ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' as well.

* ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon HeartGold and SouSilver]]'' do this in the opening.

** The beta version of ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic 3]]'' actually had its own [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oejBpoCYqE ending medley]] too, where it would play music from all stages in it and ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic and Knuckles]]'', but was very likely cut from release version due to the splitting of the game into two parts. That beta is for a game called ''Sonic 3 Limited Edition'' which would've had both games on one cart. Its not a Sonic 3 beta per se.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.

** Possibly because end credits medleys tend to not appear on soundtrack albums if they're edited together from already recorded cues.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' deserves special mention because it manages to mix together '''every single character theme''' along with the obligatory "Prologue" music in a massive 20-minute long ending sequence.

[[AC:Theatre]]

* ''NeverwinterNights''.

** Not to mention ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' as well.

* ''CallOfDuty: World at War'' combined [[RuleOfThree three]] themes into one piece. A Music/HeavyMetal guitar and drum kit were added on top of them, as were some techno bits accompanied by taiko drums.

** ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Kingdom Hearts 3D [=[Dream Drop Distance]=] ]]'' also does this, using the battles themes for Traverse Town, [[MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers Country of the Musketeers]] and [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Prankster's Paradise]], followed by the Dream Eater's theme, the battle theme for [[Disney/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame}} La Cité des Cloches]] and finished with Dearly Beloved.

* The second part of the credits for ''ToyStory'' combines pieces of "Woody and Buzz" and "Infinity and Beyond".

* ''BatmanBegins'' and ''TheDarkKnight''.

* The end credits for ''[[BluesClues Blue's Big Musical Movie]]'' used a medley of previous background music used for the credits in other episodes.

* ''IndependenceDay''.

* ''[[{{WesternAnimation/Nine}} 9]]'' uses a medley of themes from the film, mainly ''Winged Beast'' and ''Burial'', with a remix of ''The Machines'' at the beginning. It does not appear on the official soundtrack for some reason.

* The ''VideoGame/{{WarioWare}}'' series, starting with ''Twisted''.

* The {{DSiWare}} game ''Art Style: Pictobits'' ends with one, incorporating bits and pieces from all of the remixes featured in the game.

Some ClosingCredits do not have their own specific background music, but rather feature a {{medley}} of various music pieces from the movie/game.

* ''BatmanBegins'' and ''TheDarkKnight''.

* ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'' features an impressive score that weaves the themes of several main areas into a monster medley as the credits are viewed. The credits include the themes to Mumbo's Test-O-Track, LogBOX 720, Terrarium of Terror, Gruntilda's Challenge, Jiggoseum, BanjoLand, Nutty Acres and Gruntilda's Final Battle.

* ''AdventChildren'' and ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'' have similar medleys that both begin with a remix of The Main Theme of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', which is the only time said piece of music is featured on the respective soundtracks.
** ''[[FinalFantasyDissidia Dissidia]]'' takes this UpToEleven by creating a medley of the ending themes from the first ten games!

* ''KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' features a medley of the three main characters' leitmotifs (Terra, Aqua, and Ventus in order), the [[Disney/PeterPan Neverland]] battle theme, the three {{Disney Princess}}es' worlds' battle themes, and the game's arrangement of "Dearly Beloved".

* ''TheLegendOfZelda: The Wind Waker''.
** ''TwilightPrincess'' as well. It's also virtually the ''only'' time you'll hear [[BootstrappedTheme the original Legend of Zelda theme]] in the game.
** Not to mention ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendofZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]]'' as well.

* The end credits of the new ''StarTrek'' movie are a mashup of the new theme ("Enterprising Young Men") and Alexander Courage's original Star Trek theme.

* ''StarTrekVITheUndiscoveredCountry''

* ''VideoGame/MegaMan 6'' credits has this.
