The short instrumental songs that give each series of Digimon its unique mood (rock, classical, flute, jazz, etc.) are wonderful enough to be featured in the Uta to Ongaku Shuu albums (which were two per series until Digimon Data Squad).

Movies
- Requiem from the second movie's finale. It may not be as fast-paced as most of the other songs here, but it easily matches them in sheer levels of awesome. Not only did that song make Omnimon/Omegamon's first appearance truly epic, but it also made Imperialdramon Paladin Mode's appearance epic (that's movies 2 and 4). Also, in the strangest of places, the song was used for Mercurymon's opera style battle with Takuya (Digimon Frontier). Watching a main hero get beaten to death with this music only makes the scenes more awesome and symbolic.
- From Battle of Adventurers, the Tamers' first film, 5th overall, the wonderfull Moving on, makes the listener feel like he's in a platform game.
- Remember X-Evolution? Apparently they have released a (very epic orchestra) soundtrack, of which we can only hear the opening and Dorumon sad, cue evolution.
- The first dubbed movie (i.e. concatenation of the first three) is capped off by an oddly epic cover (by Len) of "Kids In America".
- During the Parrotmon segment, the English dub has the reveal of Greymon be accompanied by a remix of the dub's main theme that unfortunately doesn't appear on the soundtrack.Tai: Koromon...?Greymon: Hrnng... I'm Greymon now.BGM: Dig, Dig, Dig... Dig, Dig, Dig...Tai: You can be whoever you want... Big guy...BGM: Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!Greymon: NOVA FLAME!
- During the Parrotmon segment, the English dub has the reveal of Greymon be accompanied by a remix of the dub's main theme that unfortunately doesn't appear on the soundtrack.
- "The Power of Love" in which Tai and Matt give War Greymon and Metalgarurumon their Heroic Second Wind.
- From the Digimon Adventure pilot movie, where it all started: we are treated to the short version of Butter-Fly, with Kouji Wada singing a cappella at the beginning. It's incredibly powerful.
Video Games
Note that most Digimon games have different soundtracks depending on whether it is the original Japanese version or an English translation; one of the most common changes is the removal of themes based on songs from the anime, though they never put equivalents from the dub in.- From Digimon World Dawn/Dusk, the theme of Kowloon Co perfectly sums up both their jovial and intimidating sides to help them stick out.
- The Japanese version of Digimon Rumble Arena features instrumental covers of the Japanese openings and inserts up to that point (save The Biggest Dreamer, which was its opening theme in its original form). They're all fantastic, with Butter-fly expectedly being a standout.
- An unlikely entry is Digimon Battle, a Korean MMO which has an epic battle theme, and an inspired title screen music.
- Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth features a fantastic soundtrack, but one of the biggest standouts is the final boss theme, which is a two-parter. Part one is dark and desperate, but part two, as the final boss fight really starts, the theme becomes bombastic and climactic, starting off with an epic remix of the game's title theme.
- For a game that is only available in Japan, Digimon World Re:Digitize has one of the most awesome battle themes of Digimon games. It's also reused for Digimon Links, a Digimon-based android game that (thankfully) has an English version.
