Turnabout Tunes

Music in games that plays when you're nearing the goal, have the boss down to that last stretch of health, have made a decisive move or are otherwise in some way in sight of sweet victory. Chiefly making this so other people can chime in with suggestions because I want to hear more! Be aware some track listings may be spoilers in some way!
