%%** The [[https://youtu.be/3dbmECnxdo8 version]] that plays during an emotionally dramatic scene in Hollow Bastion.

* [[https://youtu.be/g25QXnhVijQ "Dearly Beloved"]] has made an appearance in every game in the series. It's the kind of music that takes all your worries away. %% [[https://youtu.be/gUQuBBBzx-I "Dearly Beloved II"]] plays during the final cutscene in ''Final Mix''.

%%* [[https://youtu.be/UfofGaKkvlQ "Beyond The Door"]] plays during Ansem's death scene.

%%* The adventurous [[https://youtu.be/Hdg2djGp138 "Deep Jungle"]] theme that plays in... [[ShapedLikeItself well, Deep Jungle]].

** [[https://youtu.be/KlcgvaAhU5M "Winnie the Pooh"]] in the [[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh 100 Acre Wood]] is a soft, cuddly theme for all kids to enjoy. The music box reprise when Sora locks the world's Keyhole is also a wonderful emotional finale for such a relaxing adventure with Pooh and his friends.

* The [=PLANITb=] Remixes of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSKkYI3v53U "Hikari"]] and [[http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Simple+And+Clean+PLANITb+Remix+Short+Edit/2T6gkr?src=5 "Simple and Clean"]] take the aforementioned songs and remix them into a different kind of awesome.

* Kairi has three theme songs and of the three, [[https://youtu.be/zTQr6O1R1P4 "Kairi III"]] is just... beautiful. Like music from heaven in its purest form... It's nostalgic, sad, and heartwarming. Kairi's other themes, [[https://youtu.be/qs2kZYVciQo "Kairi I"]] and [[https://youtu.be/1osS16a8-Cw "Kairi II"]] are just as beautiful.

* [[https://youtu.be/euy_6ZMfK1k "No Time To Think"]], which plays when Hook is making Sora walk the plank, sets the heart-racing mood of the scene very well.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJGcoz6YWIM "Forze del Male"]] is a chilling tune with an OminousPipeOrgan to showcase the sheer power of Riku-Ansem.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LilcKJcbZI "Guardando nel Buio"]] features a sinister choir with a menacing recurring riff to show the crazy strength of this seeker of darkness who is on the verge of finally plunging Kingdom Hearts into darkness and the desperation of Sora who tries to stop him and find Donald and Goofy once more.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4_Twt55v-A "Scherzo Di Notte"]], the battle theme for Hollow Bastion, is a chilling theme to show the desolation of the place, even with lots and lots of Heartless running amok.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nlCNVewMjA Hollow Bastion's theme itself]] is eerie and unsettling to reveal how this once shining location has fallen to disrepair and darkness.
* Kairi has three theme songs and of the three, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTQr6O1R1P4 "Kairi III"]] is just... beautiful. Like music from heaven in its purest form... It's nostalgic, sad, and heartwarming. Kairi's other themes, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs2kZYVciQo "Kairi I"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1osS16a8-Cw "Kairi II"]] are just as beautiful.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUBMeYLdyp0 The Orchestrated Version of "Hikari"]], which turns the game's theme song into a goosebump-inducing orchestral piece. It was even put to such a beautiful effect in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82Q2XTJ8jWk Sora's reveal trailer]] for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' that even some ''Smash'' fans who never played ''Kingdom Hearts'' cried TearsOfJoy.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g25QXnhVijQ "Dearly Beloved"]] has made an appearance in every game in the series. It's the kind of music that takes all your worries away. %% [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUQuBBBzx-I "Dearly Beloved II"]] plays during the final cutscene in ''Final Mix''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbeHo6c_a8o "Destati"]] and its variation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOpB12ow-VM "Dive into the Heart -Destati-"]], one of the first songs heard in the game. The music for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trf9g-ZpDF4 "End of the World"]] is another mix of "Destati", complete with chimes, strings, and vague chanting in the background...or just vocalizations. There's a bit of vibraphone in there too. The effect is both beautiful and nightmare-inducing.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k28_pULtlAQ "Fragments of Sorrow"]] is another take on "Destati", with its [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous Italian Chanting]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euy_6ZMfK1k "No Time To Think"]], which plays when Hook is making Sora walk the plank, sets the heart-racing mood of the scene very well.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKSH4DLW1Nw "Villains of a Sort"]], Maleficent's theme for the series, is a foreboding track suited for the Mistress of all Evil.
* For recurring boss themes, there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFtX_HfUWdA "Squirming Evil"]], a bouncy but grim tune which plays during most Disney villain boss fights as proof of their power, even when Sora witnesses it up close.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VJ3Jc6H3Jg "Destiny's Force"]] which plays during a variety of boss fights is a booming extravaganza of valour, heartlessness and pure evil, like the mighty boss Heartlesses.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69YakPKHMvs "One Winged Angel"]], remixed from its original ''Final Fantasy VII'' version, is as awesome as ever (even if it is shortened).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1AJjZEWBcI "A Night on Bald Mountain"]], playing during the [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog fight]], is one heck of a hardcore classical piece.

* The tear-jerkingly beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp_X-Im1On4 "Always on My Mind"]] combines Kairi's Theme and "Dearly Beloved".
* The amazingly '''epic''' credits theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmRgNtHTbWM "March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra"]], features yet another variation of "Dearly Beloved".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVDavId-9IU "Another Side"]] plays in the ''Final Mix'' secret ending trailer, and it spawned "Organization XIII", "Graceful Assassin", and "Showdown at Hollow Bastion". A remix of the whole track was used in ''358/2 Days'', and the actual track was used in Aqua's battle against Braig in ''Birth By Sleep''.
%%* The adventurous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdg2djGp138 "Deep Jungle"]] theme that plays in... [[ShapedLikeItself well, Deep Jungle]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc1YgQXuP0E "This is Halloween"]] in [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Halloween Town]] is a suitably spooky tune for a menacing town based on Halloween.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waDIghoikX4 "Mickey Mouse Club March"]] when we first visit Disney Castle is reminiscent of a king's army to show who's the one ruling there.
* If you think that the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID3URxEg9WE first theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfXsHIOlamE second theme]] songs of Gummi Ship are light and happy, wait until you try to enter Hollow Bastion with your Gummi Ship. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noCYWL2zA_0 third theme]] will blow you away.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swxgikJ5Wk0 "Hand in Hand"]], the Traverse Town battle theme, is a fun, frantic number to set the tone for all battles after this.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU1-HXmTVSk "The Deep End"]] plays during major boss fights such as Giant Ursula, Dragon Maleficent, and the first round against Ansem, laying out the insane strength of those bosses.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeXsYfmlZtU "Disappeared"]], the suitably creepy boss music to the Unknown in the ''Final Mix/1.5 Remix'' version, which pops up again in ''KHII'' as Xemnas's first boss battle theme.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4_Twt55v-A "Scherzo Di Notte"]], the battle theme for Hollow Bastion is a chilling theme to show the desolation of the place, even with lots and lots of Heartless running amok.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw-Y4Ul0IGs "Shrouding Dark Cloud"]] which plays during most of the early Heartless boss fights and the duel with [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]] is a squirming piece of speed, tension and determination to win against all odds.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsoVi4U1P68 "Precious Stars In The Sky"]]. It's just... Disney magic embodied in music.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xl6Q6tycE7k "Beyond The Door"]], which plays during Ansem's death scene.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_rQlijgWX4 "Under the Sea"]] in [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Atlantica]] is a bubbly embodiment of the aquatic wonders 20,000 leagues below the sea surface.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_-CKMSUZ_0 "Winnie the Pooh"]] in the [[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Hundred Acre Woods]] is a soft, cuddly theme for all kids to enjoy.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsIXDJ3t1uo "Night of Fate"]], very fitting for the night that kicks off Sora's adventure with the Heartless' invasion of Destiny Islands. It's also Traverse Town's first battle theme, before you meet Donald and Goofy. To add more epicness, try to listen to it when you're inside a room while there's a storm outside.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nlCNVewMjA The world's theme itself]] is eerie and unsettling to reveal how this once shining location has fallen to disrepair and darkness.
