Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope?

This is mostly a video game thing, but it's when a song is used in different places but has different instrumentation. It's not Variable Mix, which blends musical effects with actions, but not omnipresent enough of a tune to count for Theme-and-Variations Soundtrack. It's like a group of bosses all have the same battle tune, but each one has it played with different instruments and this tune does not appear outside of these boss fights.
