** ''Theatre/FlowerDrumSong''[='s=] exit music uses "You Are Beautiful" and"Grant Avenue."

** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' features a medley of the three main characters' leitmotifs (Terra, Aqua, and Ventus in order), the [[Disney/PeterPan Neverland]] battle theme, the three Franchise/{{Disney Princess}}es' worlds' battle themes, and the game's arrangement of "Dearly Beloved".
** ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Kingdom Hearts 3D [=[Dream Drop Distance]=] ]]'' also does this, using the battles themes for Traverse Town, [[WesternAnimation/MickeyDonaldGoofyTheThreeMusketeers Country of the Musketeers]] and [[Disney/{{Pinocchio}} Prankster's Paradise]], followed by the Dream Eater's theme, the battle theme for [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame La Cité des Cloches]] and finished with Dearly Beloved.

* The end credits music for Disney's ''Disney/{{Dinosaur}}'' combines pieces of "The Egg Travels", "Aladar and Neera", "Breakout/It Comes With a Pool", "Raptors/Aladar Meets the Herd", and "Inner Sanctum/The Nesting Grounds".
* ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder'' features an excellent end credits piece using the score's main themes.

* Given how famous the ones in [[Film/StarWars the movies]] are (see above), video games from Franchise/StarWarsLegends usually do this as well.

** Music/JohnWilliams is quite fond of this. Notable example: the closing credits from ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePrisonerOfAzkaban'', which consisted of ''seven'' themes from the film back-to-back. And was awesome.

* Given how famous the ones in [[Film/StarWars the movies]] are (see above), video games from the Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse usually do this as well.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'' uses a partial remix of its [[GlobalAirship "Flying on the dragon"]] music in its end theme.

** ''VideoGame/{{Dissidia|FinalFantasy}}'' takes this UpToEleven by creating a medley of the ending themes from the first ten games!
*** The prequel does the same thing, but includes ending themes from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI,'' ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII,'' and ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'' as well. It is also bookended by the opening and closing bars of the song Final Fantasy at the start and end. Listen close for them.

* ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'' do this in the opening.
** The end credits of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue FireRed and LeafGreen]]'' as well.

* ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'' has a whole mix of the different theme tunes as the credits music, starting from Plack Beach, to parts of Cavi Cape, to parts of the underwater theme, the Dimble Wood theme and the Toad Town theme.
** ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam Dream Team]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam Paper Jam]]'' follow suit, using their own respective soundtracks to create credits medleys.

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

* ''VideoGame/MegaMan6'' credits has this.
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' games frequently do this, starting as far back as the original game; more often than not, generally in conjunction with a unique composition.
** For example, ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaDbhsD7EqY Ending Medley B]] from Book II.

* This is done occasionally in the ''VideoGame/WingCommander'' series, most notably the third installment.

* All the UsefulNotes/MegaDrive ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games did this, with the exception of ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic 3]]'' which had an original track instead of the usual medley. VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 does that too.
** And then ''VideoGame/{{Sonic Rush|Series}}'' for DS did it again.

** ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' does this with both versions ([=PS3=]/Xbox 360/PC and [=3DS=]).

* All the UsefulNotes/MegaDrive ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' games did this, with the exception of ''[[VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles Sonic 3]]'' which had an original track instead of the usual medley. VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 does that too.

* The end credits of the ''Film/StarTrek'' reboot film are a mashup of the new theme ("Enterprising Young Men") and Alexander Courage's original "Theme from ''Star Trek''".

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

** The beta version of ''VideoGame/{{Sonic 3|AndKnuckles}}'' actually had its own [[https://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]]'' (except for Carnival Night and Mushroom Hill Zones, for some reason), 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. It's not a Sonic 3 beta per se.

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

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

** For example, ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]'' has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaDbhsD7EqY Ending Medley B]] from Book II.

* [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in a strange way in ''VideoGame/Persona3''. The ''FES'' rerelease features a new ''opening'' with a new song, which combines and remixes elements of several other songs in the game - most notably the credits theme.

* The theatrical release of ''Film/TheAbyss'' was the first Creator/JamesCameron film ([[Film/{{Titanic 1997}} but not]] [[Film/{{Avatar}} the last]]) to feature double-column/speeded-up end credits on account of all the people involved, so Creator/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."

** Some of that additional music was recorded especially for the credits. ''Fellowship'''s ''[[http://youtu.be/evHF0WRagtc?t=30s In Dreams]]'', heard right after Enya's ''May It Be'', might or might not count[[note]]Its placing in the OST hints that it might have been intended to play over the last scenes of the movie.[[/note]], but ''Return Of The King'' has a {{homage}} to [[Creator/RichardWagner Wagner]] [[http://youtu.be/Uxt2jb_r_VQ?t=9m51s at the end of the theatrical cut's credits]], plus a whole song called ''[[http://youtu.be/OJQmsKgqF0A Bilbo's Song]]'' at the end of the Extended Edition's Fan Credits.

* The UsefulNotes/AcademyAward ceremony has ended on one of these since the early 1990s, combining famous orchestral movie themes with instrumental versions of songs: "Hooray for Hollywood" (serves as {{Bookends}}), "That's Entertainment", the main theme from ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'', "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing", [[Theatre/{{Oklahoma}} "Oklahoma!"]], [[Film/TopGun "Take My Breath Away"]], the themes from ''Film/ChariotsOfFire'', ''Born Free'', and ''Around the World in 80 Days'' (1957), [[Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys "Moon River"]], [[Film/MaryPoppins "Chim-Chim-Cher-ee"]], [[Film/{{Arthur}} "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)"]], [[Film/FoulPlay "Ready to Take a Chance Again"]], [[Film/{{Fame}} "Fame"]], [[Film/{{Flashdance}} "Flashdance...What a Feeling"]], [[Film/{{Rocky}} "Gonna Fly Now"]], [[Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk The Raiders March]], and the ''Franchise/StarWars'' main title.

* The episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' that parody musicals, such as [[Film/MaryPoppins "Supercalifragilousexpectiali(Annoyed Grunt)cious"]], [[{{Evita}} "The President Wore Pearls"]], and [[Theatre/MyFairLady "My Fair Laddie"]] have instrumental medleys of the songs performed.

** ''[[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/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame La Cité des Cloches]] and finished with Dearly Beloved.

* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' and ''VideoGame/PaperMario''.

* ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiDreamTeam'' does this with the credits song.

* Both ''FinalFantasyXIII2'' and ''LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII'' of the so-called ''Lightning Saga'' have this. ''Final Fantasy X-2'' has a theme titled simply "Closing Credits" that is a medley of "Caius's Theme," "Paradox," "Noel's Theme," "Future/Serah's Theme" and "Yeul's Theme." ''Lightning Returns'' has "Credits ~Light Eternal~," which uses "FINAL FANTASY XIII -Miracles-," "Memories of Happier Days," "Snow's Theme ~Final Words~," "The Ark," "Caius's Theme," "Lightning's Theme" and "Blinded By Light."
