Many games feature a concept of a "final boss" or a "final stage" - that last challenge you must overcome in order to complete a playthrough of the game. Most of the times, those bosses/stages come equipped with a repertoire of music! I have a personal favorite (you could probably guess what it is already), but what about y'all? What's your favorite final boss/stage music? Why?
 
I never really pay attention to the end boss theme unless its like Sonic Adventure and the main theme by Crush40 plays, i like it when theme songs play.

But Shadow of the Colossus has some awesome end boss music.. i think.

The epitome of epic final bosses is in this music for me:

Purpose is probably the best track I've ever heard. True to the title, the Avatar finally meets their destiny; their true purpose in life. I only used two characters - Chrom and Lucina - but this battle was so freaking badass. I love it and want nothing more than to replay it.

I love the mix of the main theme put into the game! This is the ultimate final boss theme, and it only helps that it loops over and over again even on Enemy Phase!! It's <3 <3 <3 <3

I'm gonna go with The Final battle music from Super Mario Galaxy. It has to be this or Ganon from OoT. I chose this one cause at the time I was playing it, (SMG), this song captured exactly the emotions I was feeling, a mix of excitement and trepidation. I was like, this is it, this is where it's gonna end one way or another. The end of what for me was an incredible journey, and an amazing song to cap off an amazing game.

Oh man, just one? Hrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnggggggggghhhhhhh

I'm gonna hafta go with Dancing Mad if I had to pick just one. This song encapsulates the entirety of Kefka's personality and ambitions in four sweeping movements, from his desire for power in the first part, to the descent into madness in the second part, to his denial of the gods in the third part, to his final showdown and eventual acceptance of his fate of oblivion in the final movement.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut I can't limit myself to just one, sorry OP:
The Extreme - Ultimecia Final Form - Final Fantasy 8
Mutated Emperor Ing - Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Yami and Rising Sun - Okami
Lavos Core - Chrono Trigger

That's it? I thought the final boss theme for that game would've been more climactic... more... evil. I am thoroughly disappointed.

There are many final battle music tracks that I like, such as:
-Ocarina of Time - Ganon
-Metroid Prime - MP Essence
-God of War - Ares

But my favourite, without a second's hesitation, has to be Rising Sun from Okami. Without giving away any spoilers, this track was in every way EPIC! Just beautiful.

If this counts, then this 100%.

If not, then this:

Two themes come to mind...

First theme would be Avion from Shadow of the Colossus, this was such an epic boss battle, one of my favourites in the game and it actually suits the boss battle down to a tee.

Second theme would be the Dark Beast Ganon battle from Twilight Princess, this theme was really mysterious and actually made the boss feel intense.

I love Ganon's battle music from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's amazing, it matches how epic Ganon looked. Even though I didn't like the battle itself, the music still made the battle enjoyable.

I also like Majora's Incarnation's battle music from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. It's just so weird and just plain silly, in my opinion. It seems like Majora's Incarnation was a joke anyways. It's a ridiculously easy battle but I lengthened the fight just because the music was so mesmerizing.

I haven't even played this game and this is my favorite final boss theme. That's how good it is.
