It's worth noting that Star Fox Online has a jukebox
for listening to any track in the series.
Star Fox
- The awesome Main Theme, which plays during the credits, just feels EPIC, as if it was taken right from Star Wars. A true reward for beating Andross. The OST featured an Arrange Version of the song.
- The original also kicks off in style with the first mission having one of the best action themes ever, Corneria. It was also reused as a bonus track in Zero when playing as the Retro Arwing in Corneria.
- "Asteroid/Venom Orbital", a suspenseful orchestrated song that plays during said stages.
- The theme for the alternate final boss, Out of This Dimension for the Slot Machine, is very catchy and does a good job of keeping up the level's status as a Mind Screw.
- The Space Armada track also stands out. It's a tune that perfectly captures the adrenaline you would feel in a mid-space dogfight. It got remixed for Brawl.
- The Training Mode music is extremely catchy.
- The Meteor theme is like the Space Armada theme in that it captures the intense, high-stakes feel of a sudden attack on an enemy base and the vicious firefight that ensues.
- There is an unlockable Corneria theme done in Star Fox 2's instruments. It replaces the character select when you've reached a certain score with each pilot.
- Eladard's Godlike music has been criminally underutilized since Star Fox 2.
- Surprise Attack, Star Wolf's theme, sounds much different to the one you're used to; it's much more intense.
- The first surprise when visiting Venom was seeing how pristine it was compared to the rest of the series. The second surprise came when you heard its new theme: Venom.
- The Opening music. It's easy to see why this became the new theme of the series, as the repeating brass instruments carry a bold and courageous swagger that make the player want to jump in and fly with the Star Fox team.
- Area 6 is a beloved second to last level due to the frentic and blood pumping music track that gives the best equivalent to Orchestral Bombing an N64 synth track can offer. It does an excellent job at communicating to the player that they are in the home stretch in reaching the Golden Ending, but the enemy won't go down without a fight.
- The boss themes: Boss A and Boss B. Also the True Final Boss.
- The map screen theme, Destinations Map, is pretty epic, too.
- Both the Venom and Corneria tracks are also awesome.
- Zoness is gut-wrenchingly bittersweet considering the planet's backstory.
- The Aquas theme also adds to the "oh god, what happened here" feeling of the history of its planet.
- The theme to Solar and Sector Y is very epic, as is its remix in Assault, where it plays in the Sargasso Space Hideout.
- The theme to Macbeth and Titania really gives off a military feel.
- Meteo, a somewhat tentative piece that scores an underlying beat with brief swells, is one of the series' most recurrent songs. It also appears in Adventures, Assault, and Zero.
- Sector X, a low-key track played with flat notes and quiet instruments that give the track a creepy and sinister vibe that fits with the exploration of the destroyed base.
- Katina's theme features a heroic sounding music piece reminiscent of Independence Day that matches the reunion of Fox and Bill.
- The second credits theme (Staff Credits 2). Pretty calm too, like you are finally going to get rewarded for playing through the 7 planets and are finally taking a much deserved sleep.
- Mission Accomplished really gives off a sense of triumph and victory.
- The original Star Wolf theme, a fast-paced and tense leitmotif that's reoccurred throughout the series, telling the player right away that these aren't your ordinary enemies.
- The main menu theme. Quiet, ethereal, and incredibly soothing, especially when combined with the menu's starry background.
- Star Fox Adventures has the amazing Krazoa Palace.
- And the calm Gas Chamber.
- The Credits theme is simply epic.
- Though the final boss of the game suffers heavily from Disappointing Last Level, you wouldn't know it from the incredibly epic music used for that fight. The fact that Area 6 is played immediately after that track on the linked video, and that both tracks are equally epic, should be pretty telling.
- The music from the Drakor fight (Boss Drakor) is pretty awesome.
- Everything from Dark Ice Mines: Dark Ice Mines (Landing Strip), Dark Ice Mines Surface Caves, Dark Ice Mines Underground, Dark Ice Mines Night,
- And then the theme that plays when Krystal is captured (Krystal Is Trapped). Beautiful.
- The Red-Eye King is suitably epic for a fight with a giant Tyrannosaurus rex.
- The Main Menu theme is so epic, it gets you totally revved up to destroy the Aparoids or demolish your friends in Versus mode...
- And then we have the second half of Fortuna.
- Assault had many epic themes, including the jaw-droppingly epic Aparoid Queen (Phase 1) theme, as well as the breath taking Aparoid Queen (Phase 2).
- Sauria features a textbook John Williams-style soundtrack.
- This game's version of Star Wolf's theme ups the ante by adding a fantastic trumpet to the mix.
- The epic song that plays when Team Star Fox go through the Oribital Gate and when Peppy crashes the Great Fox into the Aparoid shield. Sadly, no one's been able to rip the song, but it did get a remix (Heroes of Old, Peppy Hare and James McCloud) in Command.
- It's interesting to note that the main story of the game features mainly orchestral versions of Star Fox 64 tracks, some of which are original pieces, while the multiplayer mode plays techno music in place. Special mention could go to Zoness and Katina.
- Vs. Gamepoint. When a player's next point wins, a player is on their last life or there's one minute left, that's when shit starts to get real and the player in last gets the BFG of a Demon Launcher.
- Say what you will about Star Fox Command, but it has some incredible music. Leon Powalski, of all people, gets perhaps the game's best Leitmotif...but the theme used for the game's two secret unlockable characters (Heroes of Old, Peppy Hare and James McCloud), which emphasizes just how awesome it is that you get to use them, is a very close second.
- The True Final Boss music, Battle With Emperor Anglar 2. Though the standard Final Boss music isn't bad itself.
- Krystal's theme, Fox's Forgotten Love, is filled with emotion and passion that make it truly epic.
- Cornerian Fighter, Bill Grey is an extended remake of his heroic lemotif from Star Fox 64, and sounds like something right out of Independence Day.
- Peace for the Galaxy, the theme used for the endings, is fittingly emotional given how bittersweet a lot of those endings are.
- The end credits is a remix of Area 6 and contains certain amounts of Mood Whiplash. It emphasizes that in spite of all the Tear Jerker events and other hardships, everything will turn out alright in the end while also serving as a fitting fanfare for what is seemingly the final entry in the first Continuity Reboot.
- Many fans agree that Zero's soundtrack is one of the best, if not the best, in the whole series. The theme for Corneria, the first level in the game, gets you in the mood for some high-flying space-furry dogfighting action with an awesome orchestra/electronic mix.
- The Map theme includes a snippet of the original Star Fox map theme.
- The new remix of Star Wolf's Leitmotif is widely considered one of the best versions of the song. The bombastic orchestra and intimidating choir certainly set the mood for the amazing battles against Star Wolf.
- The theme for Andross himself. The Ominous Latin Chanting played throughout this charged, epic theme drives home that this time, Andross is holding nothing back.
- The theme for Sector Alpha. Nothing like mixing high-tension space battle music with a little bit of One-Woman Wail to emphasize the epicness.
- The Sector Omega boss theme. Titled "Interplanetary Combat Ship, Attack Carrier", the song is an amazing remix of Boss B from 64 that plays during this game's version of the Attack Carrier. It also plays for the Great Fox boss Cosmic Dodora and during Andross's attempt at Taking You with Me.
- The remix of the All Clear theme from Star Fox 64 is given an epic, triumphant feel with an orchestral flourish that makes it a perfect cap to the adventure.
Fan Remixes
- Godspeed, the OCRemix version of the Corneria theme, is five minutes of pure unadulterated awesome.
- This pseudo-Genesis take on the Corneria theme has a nice ring to it.
- This quote remix is pretty dang great too, incorporating Space Battleground and the Main Star Fox Theme in glorious techno.
- 2 Pilots 1 Arwing by Xarlable starts off with the original game's control screen music, but before long it segues into "Lover's Theme" by Hervé Roynote , done in the style of the game's score.
- "StarFox Anthology", a short fan soundtrack that remixes six songs of the original game's soundtrack: Opening Title, Corneria, Asteroid, Space Armada, Venom, and the Main Theme.
- A version of the Star Wolf theme from Star Fox 2 in the style of Star Fox 64 was made by SiIvaGunner, and it sounds suitably awesome.
