The Super Robot Wars franchise is chock full of these. One of the main reasons why the games are popular is also credited to how kickass the character Leitmotifs are.
- First off, all licensed series have their openings and other music for its characters as their own Leitmotifs, thus they won't be listed here. Many of these are awesome in and of themselves, so see their relevant Anime sections for those. The Game Boy Advance installments put an interesting spin on some of these themes. Whether it's due to software limitations or something else, the songs are incredibly sped up. As a result, you'll hear themes like "Reason" from Tekkaman Blade and "Last Impression" from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz sounding MORE kickass.

The songs of JAM Project are pretty much the incarnation of this trope, having the power to turn just about anything into a Moment of Awesome.
- "Hagane no Messiah" ("Messiah of Steel"), the theme of Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden and the group's first contribution to the franchise.
- "GONG" is one of the greatest songs ever made, both in terms of the melody's essence, as well as the context of the song in relationship to Alpha 3 it appears in. See the lyrics for yourself.
- Although it can be argued that "Skill" in Alpha 2 is the most popular JAM Project song, used as finale of many of their concerts or used for an encore. Fans have made this powerfully clear in a number of animated music videos made over the years. One powerful example is during the final opening CG scene in Alpha 3, where the Alpha Numbers stare down an impossibly huge numbers of STMC, and charging towards and getting buried in an endless swarm of them. The actual music makes this scene look rather doomed and depressing, but overlaying it with the end of "Skill", however, and you absolutely cannot believe for an instant they aren't going to emerge victorious (or hold back the Manly Tears the end of that song forces from you).
- The Second Super Robot Wars Z: Hakai-hen gives us "Noah", while its sequel Saisei-hen has "Hagane no Resistance" ("Resistance of Steel"), both EXTREMELY energetic themes for two great games.
- "Wings of the Legend" from the Second Super Robot Wars Original Generation, combining a slow buildup of a ballad into an epic marching song. Such is the song's popularity that fans are split as to which among this song, "GONG", and "SKILL" can be considered as the group's magnum opus.
- "Shining Storm" is an enthusiastic triumphant battle song that will get your blood pumped up for Super Robot Wars Original Generation The Moon Dwellers.
- "MAXON", the first opening theme for The Inspector, the Animated Adaptation of Original Generation 2, and its second opening, "Ryuusei Lovers".
- The 3-episode Original Generation: The Animation may not have been great, but at least JAM Project provided "Meikyuu no Prisoner" ("Prisoner of the Labyrinth"), later used as its own Leitmotif in Original Generations and Original Generation Gaiden. It also comes back during the climactic battle against, of all people, Ignis, in 2nd Original Generations (just the map).
- Beginning the International Era, JAM Project once again gave out an epic piece for Super Robot Wars V: THE EXCEEDER. It starts out slow until it reaches epic level of yelling "FIIIREEE!! FIIIREEE!! FIIIREEE!!"
- Super Robot Wars X gives us Hagane no Warriors, which plays at the final boss against Hopes as he calls upon all the heroes to power Al-Warth with positive emotions in order to sustain it in one hell of a Batman Gambit.
- For Super Robot Wars T, JAM Project gives us Tread on the Tiger's Tail, another epic piece that encapsulates the hot blooded, energetic battle that Super Robots engage at.
- For the first major update for Super Robot Wars 30, a stage was added, 'Happy 30th Anniversary!' which gives us Concerto Of SRW, a celebration of their part in Super Robot Wars history.
- The main theme of 30, Drei Kreuz - Hagane no Survivor. The Drei Kreuz' motto of "do what you can, the best you can" holds strong, and they will not falter and keep surviving anything that comes at them with Hot-Blooded fervor.
Classic Timeline
- "Toki o Koete" ("Transceding Time") is a VERY inspiring heroic piece, and it gets better in its Super Robot Wars F/F Final remixes. In fact, the basic midi version in Super Robot Wars 4 was enough to raise the excitement level by a considerable margin. Here's its "orchestral" version heard in the Second Super Robot Wars Original Generation, and the Second Original Generation rock version. And then there's the 1999 vocal version sung at Super Robot Spirits events prior to the formation of JAM Project by a number of JAM's eventual members, which tended to light up the crowds like a tinderbox.
- "Violent Battle" from Super Robot Wars 3, playing whenever you fight any of the Inspectors. Its evolution from the "Complete Box" set to the present one adopted for Original Generation is simply mesmerizing to the ears.
- When you hear "Armageddon" from 3, you know that you're in for a ride through hell. This is a boss level, and you can expect your units' collective asses to be handed to the boss. Hear also its version from F/F Final and the one used in Original Generation.
- "Genocide Machine", default Leitmotif of the Guests in 4. Here's their F/F Final version and the Second Original Generation version. Second Original Generation adds a Boss Remix for the Zeidram, used by both of its pilots in the continuity.
- "Spore Valley" from 3 is a hauntingly beautiful tune.
- "The Valsion"; Exactly What It Says on the Tin, this plays when you fight Bian Zoldark (and other Valsions) and conveys the theme "You're fucked". Compare its later incarnations in the Complete Box set and Original Generation.
The Alpha Trilogy
- "Aku o Tatsu Tsurugi" (localized as "The Sword That Cleaves/Smites Evil"), Leitmotif of Sanger Zonvolt. When you hear it, you'll always get the feeling some poor evil chap is going to get cleaved with a very big sword. Then there's the version from the Nintendo 3DS thanks to him participating in Project × Zone.
- "Gate of Magus", Sanger's original theme from Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden, later adopted by Wodan Ymir, his Alternate Universe counterpart. The image of a desperate struggle between good and evil is conjured into the mind of the listener by the interplay of flute and organ music, with the exchange of blows represented through the cacophonous roar of trumpets and copiously ominous percussion.
- Similarly, Sanger's second Leitmotif, "Sword, Soul, One Strike" is so awesome it CLEAVES the fourth wall in Original Generation 2.
- "Everywhere You Go", Leitmotif of Ryusei Date. This is so awesome that before Bandai Namco Entertainment took over Banpresto, this song was adopted as the developer's OWN Leitmotif, heard in almost every SRW installment when the game is booted up. Now with more Masaaki Endoh.
- Back in the day when Mazinkaiser was an SRW-exclusive unit, it didn't have the current Leitmotif from the OVA. However, Banpresto made an exclusive theme song for it. Here is the one used in Alpha 3, and this one a vocal version sung by Ichiro Mizuki of JAM Project.
- "Marionette Messiah", Leitmotif of Mai Kobayashi and Levi Tolar, combining both a melancholic theme and pure ass-kicking.
- "Soul of Steel", whenever the SRX appears.
- "Variable Formation" (Original Generation version), the theme that plays when the SRX combines.
- The SRX Altered Banpreios' theme "Battle God of Steel" definitely qualifies.
- Alpha began the trend of adding lyrics to many of the Leitmotifs. Indeed, simply adding words to an already catchy theme song and people will learn Japanese just to sing along with it. Listen to "Time Diver", "Vanishing Trooper" and "Time to Come".
- "Ware Koso wa Baran Doban" ("I Am Baran Doban"), the theme of the eponymous Ze Balmary Empire's Boisterous Bruiser Cool Old Guy.
- "The Arrow of Destiny" in Alpha screams Final Boss
- "Sleep, In The Depths of the Earth" in Alpha Gaiden, when fighting Sophia Nate with the Aurgelmir.
- "Shippu Jinrai" ("Swift Wind, Divine Thunder"), Touma Kanou's second Leitmotif after his RaiOh receives its Mid-Season Upgrade. You're not officially a Dynamic General Guardian until your theme song is capable doing what it's intended to do.
- "Messenger From the Void" from Alpha/Alpha Gaiden and "The Gun of Dis" from Alpha 3; although the latter may seem like a "laxy remix" of the former, the significance was mind-blowing back when Alpha 3 was released. The predecessors of both these songs, "Time Diver" in Alpha and "Another Time Diver" in Alpha 3 are also made of nostalgic love.
- The first time you hear "Crying Survivor" in Alpha 3, Selena Recital has just thrown off her disguise...
- "Shooting Star, Cut Through The Night!", Leitmotif of Ibis Douglas in Alpha 2. It certainly conveys the gentleness and willpower of a certain clumsy Captain Crash to completely evolve into a kickass pilot who can finally spread her wings and soar high into the sky and reaching her dreams. There's also the remix used after she gets her Hyperion in Alpha 2, "Shooting Star, Cut Through The Night! Ver. H".
- "Ware ni Teki Nashi" ("None Can Oppose Us") for the RyuKoOh/KoRyuOh in Alpha. You can simply feel the vibe of awesomeness from two reawakened mechanical gods in the form of a dragon and tiger, bringing justice against extraterrestrial invaders. Then there's its Alpha 3 version for the Shin RyuKoOh/KoRyuOh, suitably epic for the final form incorporating all four gods. Its vocal version is even better.
- "The Soul of Alpha" plays whenever The Cavalry arrives in Alpha 3.
- "Twin Icon", the theme of the Nashim Gan Eden and by extension Irui.
- So much attention is paid to "epic" tracks that the less glamorous mood music is always ignored, such as "What Lies Before The Struggle". Unlike more recent intermission music, this track manages to be solemn, yet full with resolve, and it's a shame it has not been used since Alpha/Alpha Gaiden.
The Z Trilogy
- "Black Stranger", the theme of Asakim "Not-Masaki" Dowin in Z. Sure, he might be a completely depraved bastard, but boy, does his Leitmotif kick ass.
- "Land Crasher", Leitmotif of Rand Travis and the Gunleon for Z. Later, when the Gunelon obtains its "Magna Mode", you're given the absolutely awesome "Makenaize! Gunleon!" ("You can't lose! Gunleon!"). You're about to be wrenched straight out of existence if this one comes on your sound system.
- "Namida Nuguu Tsubasa" ("The Wings Which Wipe Away Tears"), Leitmotif of Setsuko Ohara and her Mid-Season Upgrade Virgora Glory in Z. Full of sadness, yet also powerful.
- "Chimera", the theme for The Edel Bernal, the True Final Boss of Z. It perfectly conveys his evil and twisted psyche and ambitions.
- "Maketsu no Yuuwaku" ("The Demonic Goat's Allure"), Leitmotif of the mysterious, yet sultry Xine Espio.
- "The Unbreakable", Crowe Broust's second Leitmotif after getting his Mid-Season Upgrade in Saisei-hen. Even with the Space-Time Quake and all the Holy War/Sphere mumble-jumble, his determination cannot be shattered, and this theme demonstrates exactly that.
- Saisei-hen also offers "Ou no Ai wa Min no Tame ni" ("The King's Love is for His People"), theme song of Uther Insaraum, who isn't the wimpy prince as he appears to be.
- "Battle Choir", the generic theme for any original units in the Z series.
- "Maximum Break!!" plays out whenever a Twin unit pulls out a Maximum Break.
- Tengoku-Hen introduces "Solar Crystal", theme for the Traia's Original Generation Battleship, Solarian.
- Assembly of Corpses, Shikuu's theme. Scared yet?
- Anger Inversion, one of the most rockin' event themes in the series.
Nintendo Handheld Games
Super Robot Wars Advance
- "Dark Knight", Axel Almer's Leitmotif. Made of more pure ass-kicking when Original Generation gave it its own version.
- "Ash to Ash", Lamia Loveless' Leitmotif. Cool and enchanting, portraying the change between a cold-hearted soldier into a protector of life. Original Generation version here.
- The aptly named "Chaos", Vindel Mauser's Leitmotif. The PlayStation Portable version sounds even more epic! Also consider the Aquastyle remix.
- "Kiwamete Chikaku, Kagirinaku Toui Sekai ni" ("So Close, Yet So Far"). To date, there's at least six different versions.
- The unnamed title theme for Reversal is one of the most rockin' themes one can ever hear.
- "Over The Time Flow", theme of Raul Gureden, an unusually upbeat Leitmotif for a male SRW protagonist.
- "Over The World Wall", Leitmotif of Fiona Gureden, seems to convey epicness and fun in one roll.
- "Original Sin", for Big Bad Dumniuss and its three homunculi.
- When this game was released, none of its original musical tracks were named. Once the Second Original Generation was released, the title theme was given the name "Destinies". It was given an orchestrated version for the Second Original Generation.
- Joshua and Cliana each have a normal Leitmotif, but a second one is triggered whenever they use the strongest attack in whichever mecha they are in. For Joshua, "Desire" and "Drumfire", respectively; for Cliana, "Duologue" and "Duet", respectively.
- "Devastator", the default theme of the Melior Esse of the Ruina.
- "Despair", Destiny Big Bad Perfectio's Leitmotif. Until the release of the Second Original Generation, fans have been calling his theme "King of Ruin". Its remix from 2nd Original Generation is also pretty great.
- Touya Shun's "Fate" and "Limit Over" Leitmotifs, the latter post-Character Development. OG versions here and here.
- "Revenger" and "Guardian Angel" for Calvina Coulange. For someone mostly forgotten by the fandom, she gets a couple of remixes. And the official OG versions for Moon Dwellers are epic.
- "Moon Knights" for the Fury Knights.
- Each of the girls has their own theme when you use their finisher: Katia, Festenia, and Melua. They're all rather short, but take a listen. The Moon Dwellers officially names them "Resolution", "Powerful Eater", and "Sweet Suite", respectively. OG versions here, here, and here.
- "Bullet Striker", Kazuma Ardygun's first Leitmotif.
- "Just One Chance", used in the "EXA Nova Shoot Over" attack for the Valzacard
- "Determination ~ Pride and Memory in the Heart", the Leitmotif used when Kazuma's younger sister Mihiro gets to pilot the Valhawk solo for one scenario (for the rest of W, she's a co-pilot). It's gentle enough to match a character like Mihiro but forceful enough to match what she's capable of handing out, even worth keeping on the Valhawk when Kazuma returns post-Time Skip. It's kept on the Valstork battleship, so you'll hear it by using the eldest Ardygun sibling Shihomi, after she succeeds their father Blessfield. This possibly makes this Leitmotif the Ardygun family's theme song.
- "Eternal Memory" for the Final Boss, despite it being uncommonly upbeat.
- Mist Rex's "Active Mind" and "Astral Burst". Even if Mist is an ass, at least his Leitmotifs are decent.
- "Autumn Loneliness", a beautiful, calm Leitmotif for Angelica Shartill.
- The appropriately name "Edax" for the main antagonists of K, whose Leitmotif fits their nasty Humongous Mecha nicely.
- "Walking Towards the Blue Sky" for Nagumo Ichitaka and "Feathers Wandering Around in the Night Sky" for Yuunagi Graife. Additionally, the brothers have a second Leitmotif when triggering their units' strongest attack: "Beyond the New Door" for Ichitaka and "Sure to Become Honest" for Yuunagi. Finally, their respective Rushbird and Straybird gain a third Leitmotif "Wings of Time" upon using their Combination Attack.
- "Grand Throne" for the Final Boss.
Original Generation
- "Trombe!", Elzam von Branstein's Leitmotif throughout the franchise (from Original Generation into Alpha 3), because it overrides regular boss themes, special event music, tunes that blare during an apocalypse, and most importantly, Final Boss Leitmotifsnote . Some of the exceptions are "The Beautiful Blue Danube" and anything out of Basara Nekki and Fire Bomber, because those are being played in-universe. Then there's the fan vocal version.
- "Fairy Dang-Sing" (localized as "Dancing Fairies") in Original Generation 2 may be just as awesome as the Combination Attack "Royal Heart Breaker"...or maybe it's really awesome BECAUSE of the song? For additional awesomeness, the vocal version used in episode 10 of The Inspector, as sung by the Latooni Subbota and Shine Hausen's voice actors. This is the first Leitmotif since the Alpha series to be given lyrics.
- "Ouka Genei" (localized as "Cherry Blossom Illusion"), Ouka Nagisa's Leitmotif in Original Generation 2, brings to mind a bird soaring on the wind. In a way, it's almost heroic but her situation is an ironic one. This makes it more satisfying when she pulls a Heel–Face Turn. Kurogane Arrange Music made a great version of it.
- "Rail to the Dangerzone" and "Born to Fight", two generic Leitmotifs that can used around for all units. These days, both are considered extinct themes, yet most players might just relegate it to pilot Russel Bagman, the only character who doesn't have a character-exclusive theme.
- Even the battleships get a unique Leitmotif "Ships Full of Hope" (Original Generations version here, including a slight remix in the same game called "Ver. M"). This is later designated for the Hagane and its captains; however, the Hiryu Custom isn't neglected and gets "Soaring Dragon of the Heavens".
- "For the Day That Has Yet to Come", the theme song used when the name of the next scenario is announced post-intermission. Here's the Original Generations version.
- "The Final Adjudicator/Judge", an exclusive Leitmotif in Original Generations when fighting the True Final Boss of the first game. "Whoa" doesn't cover half of what it sounds like.
- "The Land of Beginnings", the opening theme for Original Generation 2. Here's the Original Generations version, fully orchestrated.
- The rallying themes from Original Generations and Original Generation Gaiden. When it looks like the enemy's about to win, these songs kick in at the last minute and the characters get a Heroic Second Wind. Added to this, some of these are previous SRW themes, and get used in the final episodes of The Inspector. For example, "Machine Soul" and "Go!" are taken and reorchestrated from Super Robot Wars Impact.
- One of the great things about Original Generations is it gives exclusive Leitmotifs to almost every playable character on the roster without neglecting their presence, ranging from "Treue" ("Loyalty") for the Blue Blood Leona Garstein, "Rushing Dandy" for close-quarters combat Ace Pilot Kai Kitamura to "Hero Senki" ("Hero War Chronicles") for the enigmatic Gilliam Yeager. Even Inspectors' leader Wendolo gets the unique "The Judge and the Judged Leitmotif rather than the usual "Violent Battle" theme the other Inspectors have.
- Original Generation Gaiden does the same, such as "Todoroki, ha Seshi mono" ("Roar, O One Who Breaks Supremacy"), exclusively for Folka Albark when he acquires his Mid-Season Upgrade.
- "Shouting Black" for Albero Est, a less sinister, more upbeat version of his Leitmotif "Crying Black" in MX, as a showcasing of what he was like before his Start of Darkness.
- Since the three homunculi from Super Robot Wars Reversal used the same Leitmotif as the Big Bad, Original Generation Gaiden gives them "Be A Perfect".
- The Second Original Generation gives us "Dashing Black Shadow", Leitmotif of the JinRai. The fact it sounds so twisted already speaks volume of the machine and its intentions.
- "Utsuro no Tamashi" ("Vacant Soul"), belonging to Duvan Org. The strong bass and tempo serves as a sign of just how callous and cold-hearted the individual is.
- "Kuro Honno no Karyuudo" ("Supreme Among the Four Dragons aka Highest of the Four"), for the Magnificent Bastard Son Ganlong and his massive OuRyuuOu, which plays in the climactic battle with Baral forces.
- Newcomer Ing Egret's Leitmotifs "22nd Child" and "Lost Children". If you think they sound familiar to particular Alpha Leitmotifs, you're correct: in fact, they're used as Foreshadowing.
- In the same vein as "Ware Koso wa Baran Doban" and "Makenaize! Gunleon!", the Second Original Generation brings us "Gantetsu Banchou G Bankaran no Uta" ("Song of the Iron Stubborn Gang Leader G Bankaran"). Absolutely NO ONE saw this Leitmotif coming, particularly from a Japanese Delinquent who got little more than a mention from a drama CD.
- Back in Super Robot Wars Destiny, Glacies and Ventus were given Bootstrapped Leitmotifs of Joshua Radcliff's and Cliana Rimskaya's default themes, provided the player successfully convinces them to pull a Heel–Face Turn. For the Second Original Generation, the turn is mandatory; instead, they are given the exclusive "Destine" and "Deliverer" Leitmotifs, respectively.
- One Leitmotif given an awesome guitar riff is "Genocide Machine II", used exclusively for Guest general Grofis Lacrein, a remix of the old "Genocide Machine" from 4 and its remakes.
- Not only do the JakuOhKi and BuOhKi finally make an appearance in the games via the Second Original Generation, we're treated to their Leitmotif "Jakubu Shuuten" ("The Phoenix and Tortoise Encircling the Heavens").
- Once "Ultra One" starts playing, you've realized you played right into the hands of the villain for the Second Original Generation. If you listen carefully, you'll hear it incorporates parts of "Arrow of Destiny" from Alpha, a key to their identity.
- New character Yong Gebana in the Dark Prison Downloadable Content has a jazzy Leitmotif "Auditor Girl".
- "Tamashi Naki Hatagami Tachi" ("Pantheon of Soulless Machines") in Dark Prison is an awesome remix of "Heartful Mechanic", previously heard in 4.
- "The Last Fighter Twin" is an awesome Dark Reprise of a very peppy theme of Great Battle 2 during the climax of The Moon Dwellers.
- "Dark Prison", the theme of the Granzon, is suitably ominous, giving you that sense of impending doom as the Granzon starts firing up its singularity weapon and bombarding you with gravitational attacks.
OG Saga: Masou Kishin
- "Neppu! Shippu! Cybuster!" ("Hot wind! Swift wind! Cybuster!"), the Hot-Blooded Leitmotif of the Herald of the Elemental Lord of Wind, Masaki Andoh.
- The version from Super Robot Wars The Animation OVA. The wind is calling; someday you'll hear its voice. The first moment this song is used in the OVA is a Moment of Awesome.
- The live version, courtesy of JAM Project.
- "La Gias no Kaze" ("The Wind of La Gias"), the title theme from the Super Famicom game The Lord of Elementals, has a dark, yet epic vibe in it. Its Original Generation version turns it into pure badassery.
- "Endless Battle", the default theme used throughout any Super Robot Wars installment for the setting of La Gias.
- "Approaching Enemy", used by most bosses in the Masou Kishin storyline.
- Just like Masaki, the other Heralds of the Elemental Lords have their own awesome Leitmotifs:
- "Martial Artist of Fire", Leitmotif of the equally Hot-Blooded, yet Stern Teacher Hwang Yong Long.
- "Mizu to Numa no Kuni Kara" ("From The City Of Water And Ice"), belonging to the graceful Lady of War Tytti Noorbuck.
- "Seichou Mio no Jongarabushi" ("Mio's Traditional Jongara Song"), Leitmotif to the cheerful, Otaku Meta Girl Mio Sasuga.
- "Flapper Girl", Lune Zoldark's theme, perfectly embodies what this Tomboy Charles Atlas Superpowered heroine is.
- "Spring Breeze Precia", Leitmotif for archetypical Token Mini-Moe Precia Zenozakis.
- When Revelation of Evil God is released, Masaki acquires his Elemental Lord Cybuster's "Full Possession Mode", alongside a new Leitmotif "Possession". In the sequel Pride of Justice, the other Heralds learn Full Possession for their respective Elemental Lords. Behold Yang Long and the Granveil's "Awakening of Flame", Tytti and the Gaddeath's "Ocean of Determination" and Mio and the Zamzeed's "Awaken, Earth!"
- "Dark Prison", Shu Shirakawa's Leitmotif has remained pretty consistent throughout the franchise. Every version always delivers the ominous feeling of what kind of person Shu is: a Magnificent Bastard kept imprisoned of his own free will for so long, his release WILL spell doom on those who manipulate him. "Dark Prison Ver.OG DP" is an exclusive remix heard in the Dark Prison Downloadable Content. Notably, this one rivals "Trombe!" for overriding boss themes.
- After years of using the generic "Endless Battle" theme, the twin princesses of the Kingdom of Langran finally get their own Leitmotif "Princess of Passion" beginning with Revelation of Evil God.
Other
Super Robot Wars Compact
- Super Robot Wars Compact has its title theme, "Commencement of a Distant Battle" (localized in Original Generation as "Fight for Tomorrow"). Despite lacking that awesome retro quality that Compact 2 has (Compact 3 uses a different tune in the beginning), the version from MX and from Original Generation are nothing to sneeze at.
- A shame Super Robot Wars 64 doesn't get more love with "Kanashimi no Senjou e" ("To the Sorrowful Battlefield)", Leitmotif of male Real Robot protagonist Arklight Blue. "I'm Space Woman" is pretty neat too.
Super Robot Wars Compact 2/Impact
- "Kotetsu no Beowulf" ("Steel Beowulf"), Kyosuke Nanbu's Leitmotif. Impact version here and Original Generation here.
- "Hakugin no Datenshi" ("Platinum Lucifer"/"Fallen White Knight") Excellen Browning's Leitmotif. A cheerful, energetic piece, you are now picturing Excellen in a cheerleader's uniform. Impact version here and Original Generation version here.
- Doujin remixes of are relatively few and far between, but some are great in their own right. Check out moAbi's version of "Steel Beowulf".
- "Alchemist with a Wavering Heart" (localized as "Alchemist's Query"), Leitmotif for Einst Alfimi from Impact.
- "Kurenai no Shurashin" ("Crimson God of Carnage"), Leitmotif of Folka. One of the better tunes in Compact 3, it turned more awesome when it appears in Original Generation. You can practically feel the vibe that Folka truly is Kenshiro incarnate piloting a Humongous Mecha.
- "Kishin Ranbu" ("Wild Dance of the Machine Gods"), once The Cavalry arrives in Compact 3. Original Generations version here.
- "Burning Red", Leitmotif of Hugo Medio.
- "Dancing Blue", theme for Aqua Centrum.
- "The Watchdog of Hell" and "Let's Ignition!", the second Leitmotif for Hugo and Aqua for their Mid Season Upgrades Cerberus Ignite and Garmraid Blaze, respectively.
- "Crying Black" for Albero.
- "All in 1" for the Final Boss.
- "Mugen no 'Koku' ga Majiwaru Basho De" (localized as "Where Infinities Meet"), theme song of Endless Frontier and a remix of "So Close, Yet So Far" from Advance.
- "All Correct!", Leitmotif of the bounty-hunting, Gun Twirling Casanova Wannabe Haken Browning. And if you really wanna crank the awesome up, take a listen to the Ver.SP edition, where the guitars are even more hard-hitting.
- "Orchestral Army", Leitmotif of the titular faction of characters with their own hidden agenda.
- "Dance.Battle.All.Night" (localized as "Dance it Out!") for Princess Suzuka, alongside her second Leitmotif when triggering her Overdrive, "More! Dance.Battle.All.Night" (localized as "Dance it Out! (Hyper Remix)").
- "Unchain World", performed by Nana Mizuki, used as the opening theme for Endless Frontier EXCEED.
- "Everybody do the Koma!", theme of everyone's favorite money-hungry Heel–Face Revolving Door Cat Girl saleswoman. Who's the cat who won't punk out when there's danger all about? It's Koma! Hurray! And here's her improved theme for EXCEED!
- Super Robot Wars NEO has "Spiritual Transmission", Leitmotif of Kakeru, and "Ultimate Power", the theme played during his Seigzal's strongest attack. In an unusual format, both tunes delve more into a Trance-type beat. Also, "Sword of Justice".
- "Flying Column of Bonehead" is the delightfully silly battle music for Zanba and his Penpader. Of course, for his final attack, he gets a rocking "SPmix".
- Clearly "Rock Me!" was just too good to leave as just a stage theme, so they gave Rivalis a "βmix" of the theme for his strongest attack.
- Kaizen Shouri Daitei-Oh, the final member of the Eldoran "Trilogy", was a series that never got a proper theme, hailing from a ten-minute short and a manga. So NEO saw fit to give it two new themes; "Enter: Perfect Victory Daitei-Oh!" for regular battle, and "Finishing Move! Kaiser Daidan End!" for Daitei-Oh and Perfect Daitei-Oh's final attacks.
Super Robot Wars Electronic Encyclopedia
- The main menu theme is a charming little ditty.

- This game introduces the very menacing event theme, "Dynast, Rising On Ground," signifying that some great evil note is here to kick the player's ass.
- "Digital Deadline", an original theme song created specifically for Angela Balzac and her Arhan/New Arhan encapsulates the cyberspace aesthetics of the machine.
