Something I have been kinda obsessed with

I've come across remixes of old 16bit Sega Genesis boss themes for Adventures of Batman and Robin. These remixes notably do a few things. Give the boss themes a intro, which never existed in the original. And it alters the songs to a certain degree. Creating build up to music drops. It's oddly satisfying.

There are three that I listen to the most:

Big Boss (Harley Quin Boss Theme)
Joker Boss
Space Boss (Mad Hatter Boss Theme)

The last one feels it like it deviates the most from the original. But maybe it's me.

I enjoyed the 16 bit era. Harks back to my childhood. Mind you, my mid teens were also a magical time for gaming.

The music in PSO would change when enemies were near, and change back to a more ambient track when they were defeated. The pace and intensity it created (especially on harder difficulties) was very intense:

Games that can seamlessly shift music like that, are a dime a dozen. Especially when it's done well.

What it makes me think of is the seamless area music transitions in AM2R(Another Metroid 2 Remake). It's a fan game obviously, but the musical shifts between areas are natural and keep a great sense of immersion.
