* In the [[AdaptationDisplacement forgotten arcade version]] of ''VideoGame/BionicCommando'', the iconic "[[BootstrappedTheme Bionic March]]" has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTzSwptgyMo second movement]] not heard in the NES version.

*** Both the full themes and much of the EndingTheme[=s=] include a bridge section in a major chord, known to fans as the "Middle Eight".
** The full version had been used on any number of occasions. The first episode continued its theme song into the first scene, after the TitleSequence ended, and faded out. The opening in the Creator/SylvesterMcCoy years was longer than usual, necessitating use of the Middle 8, as did the 1996 TV movie. The remixes of the theme song over the years tend to do a good job keeping this bit consistent.

* The extended version of the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' theme song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9-_9eBRaZo "We Are the Crystal Gems"]], was created by a young Steven in-[[IncrediblyLamePun universe]], and was presented as music video short during one San Diego Comic Con.

* 3D ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' games generally have this for their final battles. While the title screen and intro will play a short version, the boss fight and credits will play the whole thing.

** "Remember" by [[MusicalAssassin Ember]] [=McLain=] has an [[http://www.butchhartman.com/html/audio.htm extended version]] that they cut from the show because it was, quite honestly, a little dark for a kids' show.

* "Linus and Lucy", better known as the ''WesternAnimation/{{Peanuts}}'' theme, has two other parts that sound nothing like the familiar lick we all know and love. They are occasionally used in the specials separate from the main theme, but there's nothing that points out they're part of "Linus and Lucy" unless you know they are. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgoPl35n_AY Listen to the full theme here]].

* The extended version of the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' theme song, "We Are The Crystal Gems", was created by a young Steven in-[[IncrediblyLamePun universe]], and was presented as music video short during one San Diego Comic Con.

* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'' had its full theme, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQK8PBDyY9U Let's Watch The Show]]", released by Cartoon Network shortly before the GrandFinale aired.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZdzY9TGu1c Additional verses]] of the anime's first-season English dub theme are available. Creator/FourKidsEntertainment actually made full versions of many of their songs for the Pokemon English dub and even released [=OSTs=], which is surprising considering this is more rarely seen with dubs than with Japanese originals. Covers of the extended themes also often appear in the English dubs of the movies.

* ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'''s TitleThemeTune by Irene Cara has a [[EpicRocking 7-minute]] version with additional lyrics, released as a 12" single.

** "God Save the Queen" has several more verses than the one usually performed.

When it comes to extended versions of television series' theme songs on soundtracks, this trope is commonly happens in {{UsefulNotes/Japan}}.

** A major exception would be anime produced and animated by the {{Creator/NHK}}, same for ''Manga/NintamaRantarou''.
