* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As_a-_GVZfs Iris Battle]]. The SoundtrackDissonance only fuels the eventual TearJerker.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrCkoQPBfz4 Double Battle]]. That guitar is [[{{Pun}} doubly]] awesome!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjnEezSfdKE Cyber Peacock]]'s eerie, synth-heavy theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHuzsD0Z3Qs Magma Dragoon.]]
* The eargasm that is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcaHO9qjKRo Sigma 2nd battle]].
* The sad, yet hope inspiring theme that is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7gprIFCYoc Dr. Light's Capsule]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vse756mAMfo Storm Owl's]] theme has a very emotional and dramatic tone to it, like something out of a war movie.
* There's the battle theme with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4nu7viU-iA Colonel and General]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK2uTlq2RJg American version]] of the ending theme has a melancholic tone that fits with the game's BittersweetEnding. For something more upbeat, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaB8sE02EGU One More Chance]] is also worth hearing.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDAW5f_nmDE Boss battle]].
* Even the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sohXkLGSadw boss selected]]" theme is awesome too, if not one of the best in the series!
* And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In8sUYVkvNE Stage Select]] preceding it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X5'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_NRP3fLh1g X vs. Zero]]. Good music by itself, more so because it fits the circumstances. It's since become a legendary soundtrack to mark the decisive battle between both characters and one of the biggest moments of tension in the series. It's such a fan favorite that it made its way into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', two decades later.
** Now WithLyrics! Track name [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5uN33IOTgk X-Buster]] from ''ROCKMAN HOLIC ~the 25th Anniversary~''.
* The mysterious [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxV7MnAqDDU Zero Stage 1]] really makes you feel like you're exploring a place unlike anything you've ever seen before... and by contrast, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Zc_67zjxs Zero Stage 2]] seriously sounds as if Sigma wants to hold a rave party, or that a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' track ended up in the wrong series.
* Most of the Character Select screen themes are also pretty awesome, revving you up for the battle ahead. Just take a listen to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTk1hy7TNkk X5 Select]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy-roJyyYW8 The amazingly atmospheric unused Duff McWhalen/Tidal Whale music]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEJnpC1SuaE ingame version]]).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57arnjuNmy0 Dynamo's Theme.]] For such a minor character, he had one rockin' tune.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV-32TlPuXg Grizzly Slash/Crescent Grizzly]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIC0TIwVpBY Squid Adler/Volt Kraken]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m42OInMFSqs Izzy Glow/Shining Firefly]]. That guitar is ''amazing''.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTsdtsoMfgM The Skiver/Spiral Pegasus]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EP2pyKKw64 Burn Dinorex/Mattrex]]. An amazing synth lead backed by crunchy guitar riffs.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT1vMWgAjis Axle The Red/Spike Rosered]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Admk8D5lqnw Dark Dizzy/Dark Necrobat]]. Icy synths, a lonely guitar lead, and a 32-bit slap bass combine to make one of the catchiest songs in the game.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLAdxbBbapM remix]] of Dr. Light's ''X1'' theme... Even sadder than the SNES one...
* This is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZEETJcpwAs the original version]] which the one above replaced; this depressing beauty was eventually used for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M2n39dJWfA X Collection Credits.]]
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNnKk3OXDCs unused track, entitled "Armageddon"]], for when the space colony crashed. It sounds like a rock ballad, but there's a sense of the Earth being wiped clean...
* Sigma's incredibly intense [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNQpHoecUFc first battle theme]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q7gxQ-5gxY For the Last Time]], a final battle theme with a fitting name, as X5 was originally meant to be the X series' GrandFinale.
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXCqjB_Zn1o boss theme]].
* Both intro stages sound great, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdpRRjxM7To X's stands out in particular]]. Nothing better for getting you pumped up for an action-packed sci-fi platformer.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YtsB8DoyJE Zero's Theme]], as opposed to his previous themes, suddenly gets an air of mystery and "more challenges I shall inevitably face" atmosphere around it. This music declares that Zero is officially TheStoic. %% "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIbjd62yeNo Zero Dead]]", the DarkReprise of this theme.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtQQv4Z6HE Shadow Devil's theme]] is a remix of the Yellow Devil's them from [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 the original Mega Man]] that utilizes synthesized pipe organs to give the theme an increased sense of menace; perfectly befitting the legacy of all the devil monsters that came before him.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X6'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYOIgd2NWXU Weapon Center (Infinity Mijinion)]], which sounds like what you'd get if Music/{{Europe}} wrote a Mega Man stage theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz4qNw712aM Magma Area (Blaze Heatnix)]], which sounds like an unreleased Music/{{Dragonforce}} song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDiVxIwToyU Northpole Area (Blizzard Wolfang)]]. It sounds melancholy, but shifts to a more hopeful feeling halfway through... and the whole time, there's that amazing synth bass.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS636syT2C4 Gate's Laboratory Stage 3, which doubles as both the final stage theme and Sigma 1st.]] It makes you feel like a creeping nightmare has come back from the depths of the underworld in an abominable state, [[CameBackWrong exactly the case here with Sigma.]] Or perhaps you ''have'' ventured into the underworld, as robotic satyr statues stand sojourn throughout the stage. And before you run even into Sigma, it gives you a very dark sense of foreboding. It's also the place where [[BossRush you run into all the old bosses]].
* [[https://youtu.be/LuWDDQRx3ZY Sigma 2nd]], which combines the first form Sigma battle themes from ''Mega Man X'' and ''Mega Man X2''. Also has a little bit of the latter's Sigma Virus battle theme serving as the intro to the face-melting medley.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oBQUHGxTmQ The Boss Battle]] music is even great. It sounds oddly like an '80s car chase theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZDvfWq-tkU Laser Institute (Shield Sheldon)]] has somewhat awesome wintering vibe underscored by some ''insane'' slap bass.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHPCdR3NHJU Opening Stage]] has a perfect "after the end" vibe. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjD30VPbY8 international version is even better]] throwing some mournful, wailing guitars on top. It also shows X's sadness after the death of Zero.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVqHytbeRo8 Stage Select]] gives a sense of emergency for the crisis of the Nightmare Virus, and is possibly one of the best stage select tracks.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dms-I-71GZw Recycle Lab, Metal Shark Player's stage.]] You might not be paying attention to it all that much due to the stage's [[ThatOneLevel infamous difficulty]] (even by this game's standards), but it's got a very industrial feel to it, and it's a good tune to make you wanna hold out against the stage and see it through.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op87KRv4bb8 Inami Temple, Rainy Turtloid's Stage]]. A cool, collected theme with some absolutely gorgeous guitar riffs that compliments the stormy temple area Turtloid is hiding out in.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYeWo_9v38g Amazon Area (Commander Yammark)]]. Harpsichord and flute trade off, backed by toe-tappingly catchy jazz drumming, in one of the series most flat-out ''relaxing'' tracks. This song makes you think of plants and jungles.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-6KAggQGhg Gate Stage 1 & 2]], a fast-paced remix of the third X-Hunter stage's theme from ''X2''. It is fitting for the extremely challenging Gate stages, with all the spikes, lasers and Nightmare elements.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XylnXcqGLk0 Ground Scaravich's]] downright ''demented'' theme, featuring aggressive synths underscored by swirling piano licks and pounding snare hits. Fitting for arguably the most chaotic stage in the series.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DiPFXKm4wc Gate Boss Battle]] is an evil theme for the BigBad of this game.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGFT8G6Xvno Dr. Light Capsule]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_gzDJ7SqaM Moonlight]], sung by X's Japanese voice actor, helps to set the tone for an already awesome intro. The lyrics also detail how X feels lost in the post-ColonyDrop world without Zero at his side.
* [[https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/rockman-x-sound-box-disc-06-rockman-x6/17%2520-%2520Hi-Max.mp3 High Max's theme]] is repetitive, but effective for an enemy that seems invincible at first glance, and even when you learn how to beat him, it helps to set the tone for a long battle.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS-8vkN3k54 The theme for Zero's return after you defeat Zero Nightmare]]. It's made even more emotional given that it's a remix of Zero's death theme in the original game, completely changing the meaning from the loss of a friend, to finding him again.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4grAu5myFU The ending theme]], coupled with a bittersweet and very emotional ending, one with X telling his best friend that he's bringing Alia's old friend back for her to heal and vowing to end the war, the other with Zero watching X from afar, proud of how much his old partner had grown, while Alia and X speak of their dreams for the future.

[[folder:''Mega Man X7'']]
* Say anything you want about ''X7''. Insult it all you like. But you must concede the music was awesome. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdoL8L9bsZ4 Vanishing Gungaroo]] and its driving guitar riffs, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaNPYEd-r8I Snipe Anteator]], which sounds like something that would play at some twisted Maverick rave, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuvGNf17vJY Ride Boarski]]'s in-your-face guitar lead and sweeping synths...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6N_jtuH8g8 Conclusion, the theme for the uber-ginormous Sigma from X7.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHCKdLTZlM8 Splash Warfly]], an intense track backed up by its powerful breakbeats.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE-enIORneo Tornado Tonion]], an atmospheric track with one hell of a menacing slap bass part.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMjrOeTRzOs Conflict (Axl Intro Stage)]] set the stage for the game. It's too bad the rest of it fell flat on its face...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wg7Djh9UfU Awake Road Again (Zero Intro Stage)]] is one of the ''best'' intro stage themes, with its distorted guitar riffs and pounding drumline.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QievvH9Abs4 Combination (Intro Stage Boss)]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgjrPTy0SIg Stage Select (Regular)]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCROEEdbspo Higher Than Air (Wind Crowrang)]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccIInCwumfE Ruins'n Vains (Soldier Stonekong)]]. Starts out with a distorted guitar riff backed by eerie synth and never lets up.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ipekx1Bojg Relation ~ Vs. Red]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJXJStIzTxE Code Crush.]]
* Creator/ShowtaroMorikubo's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGjxCzcnW9U Lazy Mind]]. The original western [=PS2=] versions kept the music, but stripped the lyrics.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTYyu7hIx94 Our Blood Boils]]. First it comes out swinging with a churning guitar riff, then it shifts into a more laid-back, heroic vibe that transitions into a quiet break... before the guitar comes back in with a ''face-melting'' solo.
%%* The boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhHAQBXXH3A Decisive Battle]].
* Red's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7j7HvmWMJM kickass theme]].
* For those into ambient exposition music, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOTbEjJvLso Revealing]] is a must. (Its remix in ''Command Mission'', which is included on that list, is pretty sweet too.)
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6N10_RRVx4 Flame Hyenard]]'s stage has some pretty good music if you can avoid getting burned to the ground.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X8'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_59BiW36zcQ Noah's Park]] starts off the game right with its frenetic riffs and echoing synth in the background.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmWkPA_v0yM Burn Rooster ~ Descending]] makes you feel like you're descending into the Earth's core with its sweeping guitar.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijcaOnMtSPM Central White]], Avalanche Yeti's stage theme. A fast paced track with some intense guitar riffs and an absolutely godlike slap bass, perfect for speeding through the snowstorm on your Ride Chaser, blasting anything in your way.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlv_tLwmlpQ Earthrock Trilobite ~ Evade]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3Cz53_hQ1M Overheat]]. A mid-tempo rock number with some incredible guitar tremolos in the second half.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlXQeuBjNd0 Booster Forest (Bamboo Pandamonium Stage)]] theme and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8DTo8uszZI Ride Armor]] theme is fairly epic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNNoSW2Nk3k Lumine's battle]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K_Jd7sk4sI themes]]. Phase 1 is like a church choir, fitting with the other [[FauxSymbolism religious]] themes in X8, and phase 2 is a ''badass'' rock theme.
* Jakob, Capcom's idea of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJPUqbEZrew elevator music]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8NYYSIC7Z4 X8's Japanese opening theme (called Wild Fang), subbed.]] Awesome. Such a shame they didn't at least leave the song in the western releases. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvkYmN8_7-U Here's the HQ version.]]
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5mr5PcqktY Stage Select (Regular)]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWfp-PlggzY Primose (Gravity Antonion)]]. Trippy techno... and it ''works''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyXsjjj7-yo Boss Battle]], which probably is the best BossBattle BGM in the series. And that's saying something.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ondnsQkeYbk boss confrontation scene]] is also good.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VkIIHgJgcI VS. Maverick Battle]]. Might not be as epic as the Boss Battle itself but it's pretty good too.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXE-62DV8I Copy Sigma Battle]]. There's something magical about that guitar.
** How about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V58NabZCVZg the Real Sigma]] battle theme, a slower, more menacing remix of Copy Sigma Battle?
* Vile's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5xtcUA8wlo BADASS theme]]. Worth mentioning is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay-DDBXfv6U the track]] that plays during the cutscene when he kidnaps Lumine.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X: Command Mission'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q0eoj8wkLY Spider Magic]] the theme song of the character, Spider.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dkWSCpQNXw Marino's' theme]] is good too.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ6P5qFqGP4 Epsilon's 2nd Movement]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsZMAM0Jp8A X's theme]] is pretty damn good.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEI4_IzFWYk Zero's Theme]] is pretty damn catchy.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbBojAiJOtA Strength And Valor]].
%%* The ending theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcJUK_lmzGo PARTS]], deserves mention too.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vtzX7z4YLU Steel Massimo]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=220s5S91EWU Irregular Hunt II]]. Even the regular battle theme for the second half of the game is awesome!
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_4MAfGFX64 Event Battle]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JcGL-dQeVc Place of Oblivion]], the intro stage music which is also a remix of ''X7''[='=]s "Revealing".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O00RteuwoE8 Meet Ninetails!]] Having your ass handed to you never sounded so awesome.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZve2TEmP0E Boss/Executive Battle]], the Rebellion Cadre theme. It's ''especially'' awesome and fitting when fighting Ferham.

[[folder:''Mega Man X'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqVqG2mDV40 Zero's theme]]. It made him the [[BigDamnHeroes big damn hero]] that he is. Check out his ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTHEGUyq9V0 X2]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQgxfG8-sZA X3]]'' themes as well.
** His ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAwnAx3TGBY X4]]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YtsB8DoyJE X5]]'' music are worth listens, too.
** Hell, even when Zero ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az0a00g_90o dies]]'' he gets great music.
** ''Maverick Hunter X'' integrates the factor of TearJerker to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-4dQU6lAfE it]] to perfectly fit the situation (and the song's own title too!). Ladies and gentlemen, prepare thy handkerchiefs.
** And now, we give you: ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'''s remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAf6fFmAL2w the original Zero theme.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRqEGDHnauE Spark Mandrill's theme]].

%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntZz8L-pGYc Boomer Kuwanger Stage (Fortress Tower)]].
* Any guitarist worth his salt will appreciate [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDcNhkVxjmM Storm Eagle's theme]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju5qPxgFoQs Sigma Stage 1]], how can anyone not like this song? Not to mention the epic boss song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OZKFxMTIJg]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvK7SWJbuZM The Title]] along with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf3TxusGwgM Stage Select 2]]. Bonus point if you count [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5UHt9BOnWs the remix from Maverick Hunter.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rsJpon3Fkk Dr. Light is dead and a memory.]] Now it's your turn to bring about a peaceful world.
* The remixed versions of all the [=BGMs=] in the remake Maverick Hunter X: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5Hi2n8kwkU Spark Mandrill]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3W4p-CPf8Y Boomerang Kuwanger]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TSuzZ2mUDw Storm Eagle]]. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-8oQfKT0GQ Stage Select theme]] also sounds pretty good.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ljiZ1mw_aU Sigma Stage 1]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sipwbakD4F0 Sigma Stage 2,]] which are made even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5UHt9BOnWs more]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFfktpMn_N8 epic]] in the ''Maverick Hunter'' remake.
** Listen to their awesome remix of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs1Eas0BPjQ Boss Fight theme!]]
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEMYIX4zSxA intro stage.]] That track essentially set the tone until ''X3''. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Uzlm2MaCWw remastered version]] from ''Maverick Hunter X'' took a leap in the right direction.
%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll8O0BNogRo This]] is also worth mentioning.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab_c6Nb5WjE Chill Penguin]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asGqX72xaSY Ending]] is very reflective and conveys being at a crossroads in life. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQvu0pVzgsU Cast Roll]] is definitely great, too.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeB-J1At7uk Vile's first theme]] deserves a spot on this page.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4lDgBoD8K0 Maverick boss theme]] is utterly epic for a game on the SNES. Expectedly, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3YhsMosEuo the remix of this boss music in Legacy Collection]] doubles the awesome just as you double your effort to fight two bosses at once.
* The happy sounding [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hA71h3cLeE Password screen]] counts as well.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X2'']]
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXTvRdoIaZ4 Opening Stage theme]] alone is epic. Made surprisingly more epic by the 8-bit [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLa4abfW6vc Gameboy]] version.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmQz-iPvnIM Wheel Gator]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg2Lc3v7_D0 Bubble Crab's stage]] from ''X2''. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdBsmlGT0so remastered version]] for Tidal Whale's stage in X5.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShqLb9MwBco Flame Stag]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYvQ8pDTseQ Magna Centipede]].
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKU44GiVl_I X-Hunters Stage 1 & 2]] music.
* While short, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGPlhe5qcJw X-Hunters Stage 3]] music is arguably one of the most menacing and evil sounding themes in the series, enough so that it got an awesome remix in ''X6''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afCfbnOBAns Overdrive Ostrich]]. Made surprisingly better by the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quaK7DTzumA Gameboy version]]. Speaking of which, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oXy07T9PTk the Gameboy version]] of Wire Sponge is epic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHB19MmyWRw Zero's theme]] is so awesome, it refills your lifebar.
** Special mention has to go to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t1pymsfRRY remix from]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Marvel Vs Capcom 3]]; an upbeat and heroic techno remix to the song that provides a few extra parts for even more epic.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4NC7kzICuw Ending theme]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EUYM-k4HZs Gameboy version]] is equally epic.

[[folder:''Mega Man X3'']]

%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL3m1izjzHY Blizzard Buffalo]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EukSsk_73lU Neon Tiger]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5TanI96EdE Gravity Beetle's theme]]. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQVfFkmsXOE arranged]] version from the [=PSX/Saturn=] versions.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1MuWLHpmxA Crush Crawfish's theme]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k3eEk1w5pM remastered version]]) can definitely get you pumped up and start shooting stuff.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ukxh9Ra5oQ X3 Intro Stage]]. A triumphant, heroic song that really gets you pumped up for X's latest adventure. It's awesome enough that it was given an equally, if not more awesome [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nC0aql5OUcU remix]] as X's theme for [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Project X-Zone 2]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQgxfG8-sZA Zero's theme from that game.]] [[MemeticMutation Goes with everything.]]
* Zero's theme from the first title may be iconic, but there is no doubt that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tRji8olOtk this]] is the best rendition of Zero's theme.
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7OK409x5HI Staff Roll.]]
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IUeaqWnhhI Staff Roll]] for the English PSX version, as well as the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PvnuqqGNW4 Staff Roll]] for the Japanese PSX version.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGL20caWwAA The boss theme]] is often considered a mixed bag. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRp8KKB4brQ The PSX version]] fixes that a bit. But [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frBJXdLDfb4 the Legacy Collection version]] for the Boss Challenge is considered to be an extremely HUGE improvement, felt like a certain Creator/ShojiMeguro lent a hand.

[[folder:''Mega Man X4'']]
* Born in the golden age of PSX music, ''Mega Man X4'' has scarcely a weak, or even mediocre track to speak of. Favorites include [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vse756mAMfo Storm Owl]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCic3Or2gQs Jet Stingray]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9J1cIlwoKI X's Intro Stage]]. It is also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELdWOgoKcsM remixed]] for ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'', as X's theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgKHVHbLVlM Zero's Intro Stage]]. As awesome as X's.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj42WRDSCoY Slash Beast]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As_a-_GVZfs Iris Battle]]. The SoundtrackDissonance only fuels the eventual TearJerker.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrCkoQPBfz4 Double Battle]]. That guitar is [[{{Pun}} doubly]] awesome!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjnEezSfdKE Cyber Peacock]]'s eerie, synth-heavy theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHuzsD0Z3Qs Magma Dragoon.]]
* The eargasm that is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcaHO9qjKRo Sigma 2nd battle]].
* The sad, yet hope inspiring theme that is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7gprIFCYoc Dr. Light's Capsule]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vse756mAMfo Storm Owl's]] theme has a very emotional and dramatic tone to it, like something out of a war movie.
* There's the battle theme with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4nu7viU-iA Colonel and General]].
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK2uTlq2RJg American version]] of the ending theme has a melancholic tone that fits with the game's BittersweetEnding. For something more upbeat, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaB8sE02EGU One More Chance]] is also worth hearing.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDAW5f_nmDE Boss battle]].
* Even the "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sohXkLGSadw boss selected]]" theme is awesome too, if not one of the best in the series!
* And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=In8sUYVkvNE Stage Select]] preceding it.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X5'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_NRP3fLh1g X vs. Zero]]. Good music by itself, more so because it fits the circumstances. It's since become a legendary soundtrack to mark the decisive battle between both characters and one of the biggest moments of tension in the series. It's such a fan favorite that it made its way into ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', two decades later.
** Now WithLyrics! Track name [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5uN33IOTgk X-Buster]] from ''ROCKMAN HOLIC ~the 25th Anniversary~''.
* The mysterious [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxV7MnAqDDU Zero Stage 1]] really makes you feel like you're exploring a place unlike anything you've ever seen before... and by contrast, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4Zc_67zjxs Zero Stage 2]] seriously sounds as if Sigma wants to hold a rave party, or that a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' track ended up in the wrong series.
* Most of the Character Select screen themes are also pretty awesome, revving you up for the battle ahead. Just take a listen to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTk1hy7TNkk X5 Select]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy-roJyyYW8 The amazingly atmospheric unused Duff McWhalen/Tidal Whale music]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEJnpC1SuaE ingame version]]).
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57arnjuNmy0 Dynamo's Theme.]] For such a minor character, he had one rockin' tune.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV-32TlPuXg Grizzly Slash/Crescent Grizzly]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIC0TIwVpBY Squid Adler/Volt Kraken]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m42OInMFSqs Izzy Glow/Shining Firefly]]. That guitar is ''amazing''.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTsdtsoMfgM The Skiver/Spiral Pegasus]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EP2pyKKw64 Burn Dinorex/Mattrex]]. An amazing synth lead backed by crunchy guitar riffs.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT1vMWgAjis Axle The Red/Spike Rosered]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Admk8D5lqnw Dark Dizzy/Dark Necrobat]]. Icy synths, a lonely guitar lead, and a 32-bit slap bass combine to make one of the catchiest songs in the game.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLAdxbBbapM remix]] of Dr. Light's ''X1'' theme... Even sadder than the SNES one...
* This is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZEETJcpwAs the original version]] which the one above replaced; this depressing beauty was eventually used for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M2n39dJWfA X Collection Credits.]]
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNnKk3OXDCs unused track, entitled "Armageddon"]], for when the space colony crashed. It sounds like a rock ballad, but there's a sense of the Earth being wiped clean...
* Sigma's incredibly intense [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNQpHoecUFc first battle theme]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q7gxQ-5gxY For the Last Time]], a final battle theme with a fitting name, as X5 was originally meant to be the X series' GrandFinale.
%%* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXCqjB_Zn1o boss theme]].
* Both intro stages sound great, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdpRRjxM7To X's stands out in particular]]. Nothing better for getting you pumped up for an action-packed sci-fi platformer.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YtsB8DoyJE Zero's Theme]], as opposed to his previous themes, suddenly gets an air of mystery and "more challenges I shall inevitably face" atmosphere around it. This music declares that Zero is officially TheStoic. %% "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIbjd62yeNo Zero Dead]]", the DarkReprise of this theme.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYtQQv4Z6HE Shadow Devil's theme]] is a remix of the Yellow Devil's them from [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 the original Mega Man]] that utilizes synthesized pipe organs to give the theme an increased sense of menace; perfectly befitting the legacy of all the devil monsters that came before him.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X6'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYOIgd2NWXU Weapon Center (Infinity Mijinion)]], which sounds like what you'd get if Music/{{Europe}} wrote a Mega Man stage theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz4qNw712aM Magma Area (Blaze Heatnix)]], which sounds like an unreleased Music/{{Dragonforce}} song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDiVxIwToyU Northpole Area (Blizzard Wolfang)]]. It sounds melancholy, but shifts to a more hopeful feeling halfway through... and the whole time, there's that amazing synth bass.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS636syT2C4 Gate's Laboratory Stage 3, which doubles as both the final stage theme and Sigma 1st.]] It makes you feel like a creeping nightmare has come back from the depths of the underworld in an abominable state, [[CameBackWrong exactly the case here with Sigma.]] Or perhaps you ''have'' ventured into the underworld, as robotic satyr statues stand sojourn throughout the stage. And before you run even into Sigma, it gives you a very dark sense of foreboding. It's also the place where [[BossRush you run into all the old bosses]].
* [[https://youtu.be/LuWDDQRx3ZY Sigma 2nd]], which combines the first form Sigma battle themes from ''Mega Man X'' and ''Mega Man X2''. Also has a little bit of the latter's Sigma Virus battle theme serving as the intro to the face-melting medley.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oBQUHGxTmQ The Boss Battle]] music is even great. It sounds oddly like an '80s car chase theme.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZDvfWq-tkU Laser Institute (Shield Sheldon)]] has somewhat awesome wintering vibe underscored by some ''insane'' slap bass.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHPCdR3NHJU Opening Stage]] has a perfect "after the end" vibe. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNjD30VPbY8 international version is even better]] throwing some mournful, wailing guitars on top. It also shows X's sadness after the death of Zero.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVqHytbeRo8 Stage Select]] gives a sense of emergency for the crisis of the Nightmare Virus, and is possibly one of the best stage select tracks.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dms-I-71GZw Recycle Lab, Metal Shark Player's stage.]] You might not be paying attention to it all that much due to the stage's [[ThatOneLevel infamous difficulty]] (even by this game's standards), but it's got a very industrial feel to it, and it's a good tune to make you wanna hold out against the stage and see it through.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op87KRv4bb8 Inami Temple, Rainy Turtloid's Stage]]. A cool, collected theme with some absolutely gorgeous guitar riffs that compliments the stormy temple area Turtloid is hiding out in.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYeWo_9v38g Amazon Area (Commander Yammark)]]. Harpsichord and flute trade off, backed by toe-tappingly catchy jazz drumming, in one of the series most flat-out ''relaxing'' tracks. This song makes you think of plants and jungles.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-6KAggQGhg Gate Stage 1 & 2]], a fast-paced remix of the third X-Hunter stage's theme from ''X2''. It is fitting for the extremely challenging Gate stages, with all the spikes, lasers and Nightmare elements.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XylnXcqGLk0 Ground Scaravich's]] downright ''demented'' theme, featuring aggressive synths underscored by swirling piano licks and pounding snare hits. Fitting for arguably the most chaotic stage in the series.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DiPFXKm4wc Gate Boss Battle]] is an evil theme for the BigBad of this game.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGFT8G6Xvno Dr. Light Capsule]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_gzDJ7SqaM Moonlight]], sung by X's Japanese voice actor, helps to set the tone for an already awesome intro. The lyrics also detail how X feels lost in the post-ColonyDrop world without Zero at his side.
* [[https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/rockman-x-sound-box-disc-06-rockman-x6/17%2520-%2520Hi-Max.mp3 High Max's theme]] is repetitive, but effective for an enemy that seems invincible at first glance, and even when you learn how to beat him, it helps to set the tone for a long battle.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS-8vkN3k54 The theme for Zero's return after you defeat Zero Nightmare]]. It's made even more emotional given that it's a remix of Zero's death theme in the original game, completely changing the meaning from the loss of a friend, to finding him again.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4grAu5myFU The ending theme]], coupled with a bittersweet and very emotional ending, one with X telling his best friend that he's bringing Alia's old friend back for her to heal and vowing to end the war, the other with Zero watching X from afar, proud of how much his old partner had grown, while Alia and X speak of their dreams for the future.

[[folder:''Mega Man X7'']]
* Say anything you want about ''X7''. Insult it all you like. But you must concede the music was awesome. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdoL8L9bsZ4 Vanishing Gungaroo]] and its driving guitar riffs, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaNPYEd-r8I Snipe Anteator]], which sounds like something that would play at some twisted Maverick rave, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuvGNf17vJY Ride Boarski]]'s in-your-face guitar lead and sweeping synths...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6N_jtuH8g8 Conclusion, the theme for the uber-ginormous Sigma from X7.]]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHCKdLTZlM8 Splash Warfly]], an intense track backed up by its powerful breakbeats.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE-enIORneo Tornado Tonion]], an atmospheric track with one hell of a menacing slap bass part.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMjrOeTRzOs Conflict (Axl Intro Stage)]] set the stage for the game. It's too bad the rest of it fell flat on its face...
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wg7Djh9UfU Awake Road Again (Zero Intro Stage)]] is one of the ''best'' intro stage themes, with its distorted guitar riffs and pounding drumline.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QievvH9Abs4 Combination (Intro Stage Boss)]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgjrPTy0SIg Stage Select (Regular)]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCROEEdbspo Higher Than Air (Wind Crowrang)]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccIInCwumfE Ruins'n Vains (Soldier Stonekong)]]. Starts out with a distorted guitar riff backed by eerie synth and never lets up.
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ipekx1Bojg Relation ~ Vs. Red]].
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJXJStIzTxE Code Crush.]]
* Creator/ShowtaroMorikubo's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGjxCzcnW9U Lazy Mind]]. The original western [=PS2=] versions kept the music, but stripped the lyrics.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTYyu7hIx94 Our Blood Boils]]. First it comes out swinging with a churning guitar riff, then it shifts into a more laid-back, heroic vibe that transitions into a quiet break... before the guitar comes back in with a ''face-melting'' solo.
%%* The boss theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhHAQBXXH3A Decisive Battle]].
* Red's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7j7HvmWMJM kickass theme]].
* For those into ambient exposition music, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOTbEjJvLso Revealing]] is a must. (Its remix in ''Command Mission'', which is included on that list, is pretty sweet too.)
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6N10_RRVx4 Flame Hyenard]]'s stage has some pretty good music if you can avoid getting burned to the ground.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:''Mega Man X8'']]
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_59BiW36zcQ Noah's Park]] starts off the game right with its frenetic riffs and echoing synth in the background.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmWkPA_v0yM Burn Rooster ~ Descending]] makes you feel like you're descending into the Earth's core with its sweeping guitar.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijcaOnMtSPM Central White]], Avalanche Yeti's stage theme. A fast paced track with some intense guitar riffs and an absolutely godlike slap bass, perfect for speeding through the snowstorm on your Ride Chaser, blasting anything in your way.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlv_tLwmlpQ Earthrock Trilobite ~ Evade]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3Cz53_hQ1M Overheat]]. A mid-tempo rock number with some incredible guitar tremolos in the second half.
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlXQeuBjNd0 Booster Forest (Bamboo Pandamonium Stage)]] theme and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8DTo8uszZI Ride Armor]] theme is fairly epic.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNNoSW2Nk3k Lumine's battle]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9K_Jd7sk4sI themes]]. Phase 1 is like a church choir, fitting with the other [[FauxSymbolism religious]] themes in X8, and phase 2 is a ''badass'' rock theme.
* Jakob, Capcom's idea of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJPUqbEZrew elevator music]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8NYYSIC7Z4 X8's Japanese opening theme (called Wild Fang), subbed.]] Awesome. Such a shame they didn't at least leave the song in the western releases. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvkYmN8_7-U Here's the HQ version.]]
%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5mr5PcqktY Stage Select (Regular)]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWfp-PlggzY Primose (Gravity Antonion)]]. Trippy techno... and it ''works''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyXsjjj7-yo Boss Battle]], which probably is the best BossBattle BGM in the series. And that's saying something.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ondnsQkeYbk boss confrontation scene]] is also good.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VkIIHgJgcI VS. Maverick Battle]]. Might not be as epic as the Boss Battle itself but it's pretty good too.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXE-62DV8I Copy Sigma Battle]]. There's something magical about that guitar.
** How about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V58NabZCVZg the Real Sigma]] battle theme, a slower, more menacing remix of Copy Sigma Battle?
* Vile's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5xtcUA8wlo BADASS theme]]. Worth mentioning is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ay-DDBXfv6U the track]] that plays during the cutscene when he kidnaps Lumine.

%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_4MAfGFX64 Event Battle]].
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JcGL-dQeVc Place of Oblivion]], the intro stage music which is also a remix of ''X7''[='=]s "Revealing".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O00RteuwoE8 Meet Ninetails!]] Having your ass handed to you never sounded so awesome.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZve2TEmP0E Boss/Executive Battle]], the Rebellion Cadre theme. It's ''especially'' awesome and fitting when fighting Ferham.
