Is it possible to play with this trope?
- Exaggerated: The title theme plays at every (or nearly every) key turning point.
- Downplayed: The title theme is played in the background of another track or shifted to another time signature.
- Subverted: The theme is played in a minor key instead of major or vice versa, or the first part of the melody plays but a different tune plays instead of the rest.
- Double subverted: The other way round for either.
- Defied: The reprise is interrupted by a Villain Override and corresponding BGM Override.
- Invoked: The opposite of the above.
- Justified: A character is playing it as a Theme Tune Cameo.
- Lampshaded: The theme starts before the main character enters and the character's enemies go "Oh, Crap!" or their distressed friends have a "Hell, Yes!" Moment, then the character emerges.
- Averted: In a long-running series that usually does this in a given context, a subsequent entry uses a new theme.
