Remakes/rereleases that change the music for no reason at all and it's bad

Tell me if I missed any because I know I did.
And no I do not care if there's a good reason for the change.
(Some here may be good OSTs, I don't really care)

"Ohh the soundtrack is good, the only problem is that it's unfitting" Shut the fuck up this OST is not good. The songs loop in like a minute and the PSX OST is 10 times better.

Yeah, they really had noooo reason to change the Red and Green music for the remake.
@PKMudkipz I just took most of these from the Backloggd discord server, most of these aren't even my opinions lmao.

i am almost certain the reason the music was changed in the doom remakes was because of hardware limitations (also iirc the 3do port was made in like, a month?)

champion theme in frlg makes up for the majority of the soundtrack being worse tbh, but yeah it's still worse

teebs i also do like all of the brand brand new tracks from p1 like the philemon cutscene themes but every remixed or rearranged one sucks poop

i guess some people really dislike the soundtracks cave story+ on wii or cave story 3d on 3ds added, i don't mind em personally but they probably fit the list

idk if this is contentious but i always thought the music in pokemon heart gold and soul silver was generally worse than gsc besides a couple standouts like route 27/26 and ho-oh's battle theme. like they ruined violet/goldenrod/surf theme which were some of the best ones in the original game, and downgraded almost everything else
