A great final boss theme...without chanting

Cut me some slack; I had just woken up.

^^ No, this blasphemy is unacceptable to the greatness that is Touhou! As penance you must listen to every Touhou theme back to back to back at least twice and learn the names of the character represented per theme.

Get crackin', you got a lot of listening to do.

...what, even the PC-98's?

The Megaman Zero series is great for this (helps that the music is kickass anyway). Sirnoob already nabbed Cannonball, so I'll just go with the following:

Fake, Copy X's boss theme. Makes excellent use of technological sound effects and an organ to really build a sense of the character.

Supreme Ruler is Elpizo's final boss theme. Yes, I know it isn't the boss theme for his final form, but it's good nonetheless. It manages to put across a bittersweetness of a sort.

Falling Down, Dr. Weil's boss theme and the final boss fight in the entire Zero series. Excellent for rocking out and general coolness, and it helped Zero go out with a bang.

Although it appeared in ZX, and was the theme of the bonus boss rather than the final one, here's the remixed version of Cannonball as a bonus: Cannonball - Hard Revenge. Personally, I prefer the original to Hard Revenge, but it's all cool.

Here's the Final Boss theme from Banjo Kazooie:

And here's the Final Boss theme in Banjo Tooie!

Grant Kirkhope also made the Final Boss theme for Donkey Kong 64!

Can this be for real? Lemurian and I didn't pick the exact same thing for once? I don't actually have a clone or alternate reality self that thinks identically to me?

Yes. Every single one of them.

@hnd: Yes, you do. It's just not me. :p

@Tom: Muh...okay... *goes and gets his iPod*

TOO BLACK. TOO STRONG.

Time to rock and roll! Sonic style!

Yes, Lemurian, even the music from the PC 98 games. Get to it immediately. There will be a test some time next week.

EDIT ahhh wait there's chanting in the beginning, whoops. But most of it is instrumental.

I've got one more: Porky from Mother3 has an awesome theme.

^I was going to say. Though, I honestly prefer Theme of the Final Battle (I think it's called). Not sure if the breathing noises count as "chanting".

That'n.

Well, they're different themes.

Also good: My Heaven.

Never fails to get me PUMPED.

Oh, horror games, good source for some of these.

Weird roaring sounds don't count as chanting, do they? If they do, then here. This theme always helps me motivate myself to finish the game...

Sorry, obligatory hijack. Although this one uses the original theme instead.

More Kirby Final Boss themes that are awesome!

Drawcia

Nightmare

I recommend "An Earnest Desire of Grey" from Radiant Historia. Seriously, I can't get it out of my head. ^_^;
