Bootstrapped Theme	comment	Sometimes, a tune which previously served as the theme of a specific character, setting, franchise entry or what have you, will become so popular and synonymous with the series/franchise itself that it becomes the accepted Theme Tune of the series. At this point, the theme will increasingly become prominent in anything related to the source, and, if there is already a theme for it, that theme may be replaced with the popular one. This is a kind of Recurring Riff that becomes a straight up theme. If there is already a theme in place that is not as remembered as the Bootstrapped Theme, it can become a form of Title Confusion or I Am Not Shazam. If you're wondering about the name, "bootstrapping" refers to an old Baron Munchausen story in which the titular character pulls himself and his horse out of a swamp by literally pulling himself up by his own bootstraps (or his own hair, it depends on the version). You can read more about it at The Other Wiki here. Thus, these are songs that have taken center stage through their own merits, not because any creator really wanted it to be thus. This term is also used in fields such as statistics (as a sampling method, more at The Other Wiki here) and computer processing (where it's usually abbreviated to "booting up" or the like). This trope doesn't include tracks that were originally named by the composer with a specific character in mind, but have always been used as the work's/franchise's main theme. The music must merit popularity as an unofficial main theme, outside of intent during production. A Super-Trope to Level 1 Music Represents (where the series theme comes from a game's first stage). Compare Bootstrapped Leitmotif (a Recurring Riff becomes a Leitmotif). Examples

Bootstrapped Theme / int_1622155	comment	It was originally presumed that the "Gourmet Race" theme from Kirby Super Star was the theme song to the Kirby series as a whole due to it being remixed three times within the Super Smash Bros. games and used as a theme for at least one Kirby-themed stage. However, it's becoming increasingly apparent after Kirby Super Star Ultra that it's actually Green Greens from Kirby's Dream Land that turned into both the series' theme song as well as Kirby's due to the fact that it appears in future games in one form or another, sometimes even during cutscenes when Kirby himself is on the screen, and as a Triumphant Reprise in every final boss theme starting with Return to Dream Land. The Forgotten Land mixes it up by having it as part of the theme of the final level of the bonus world.

Bootstrapped Theme / int_1dbbf4d0	comment	While "Sexy Boy" has always been about Shawn Michaels, it refers specifically to the "Heart Break Kid" persona that he never used again after the mid-1990s (despite continuing to go by the nickname itself). The line "I'm not your boy-toy" is an indirect reference to Michaels's manager, Sensational Sherri (to whom he really was a boy-toy)...but Michaels continued to use the theme not only long after Sherri had left WWE, but after she had died. The original version of "Sexy Boy," used when he was being managed by Sherri, had a woman (presumably Sherri) singing vocals. Once he and Sherri parted ways, it was replaced with a version where Shawn sang the vocals.

This song is the only piece of music that's fondly remembered among fans. It was sampled for a song called "Take U 4 Ryde" by Talib Kweli and Oh No for the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 mixtape and the latest Marvel vs. Capcom 3 trailer has a remix of the song playing at the end of the trailer. While character themes shuffle around quite a bit, a few fighters were able to keep their iconic music. Most notably, there's Spider-Man, whose theme from Marvel Super Heroes has followed him into nearly every subsequent Vs. appearance (MSHvs.SF ver., MvC ver., MvC3 ver.). Ditto for Captain America. (MSH, MSHvSF, MvC, MvC3).

Bootstrapped Theme / int_2819aebd	comment	Mega Man (Classic) The title theme from Mega Man 2 has more or less become the title character's theme tune, being reused by several games in the main series & also as his theme when he appears in crossovers such as Marvel vs. Capcom. A (barely) less popular version is the Mega Man 3 title theme. Anniversary Collection uses both of them for its intro. The Wily Stage 1 theme from Mega Man 2 is also quite iconic, and has accompained the Blue Bomber a few times. To hammer the above point as well, his debut trailer Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, they use both the Mega Man 2 title and Wily Stage 1 themes. Mega Man Zero has Clover, the theme song from the second MMZ game, particularly the fast-paced version that serves as the BGM for the intro stage. It's strange, because before he got his series, back in the Mega Man X series he actually got a completely new leitmotif for every game (except in X5 and X6) he was in, though the one from X1 reappears in Z1's intro stage. Mega Man Legends "Mega Man Trigger" has also gotten this treatment. The Flutter vs. the Gesellschaft battle theme from the first game has been remixed for every single cameo of the Legends characters in Namco Ã— Capcom, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 3.

However, the song most closely associated with the game—and the song used to "represent" the game's Updated Re-release by its publisher, Rising Star Games—is "Life is Beautiful," the quirky, whistling-and-kazoo number played during the game's goofy comedic moments. Not just because the music is iconic; it's just that kind of game.

Bootstrapped Theme / int_50bcf7a6	comment	Homestuck: The song "Sburban Jungle" was initially only used as the installation theme for the game Sburb. It quickly more or less become the main theme of the comic, featuring in both the Act 3 and Act 4 closers. While the full song itself is actually largely unused, parts of its melody appear in many songs as a Bootstrapped Leitmotif, including its cameo in "Cascade". Appropriate, considering the comic was almost outright called Sburb. "Upward Movement", ostensibly one of Dave Strider's Leitmotifs, has also seen a fair amount of reuse in the same way, most prominently as the base "foundation" and most recurring riff in the Act 4 closing animation's theme; it helps that it very much ties in with one of the series' Arc Words, "ascend". "Homestuck Anthem", a song that was specifically supposed to be a theme tune, became used to represent characters beginning to get involved in the greater story (or, through its The Elevator from Ipanema cover "Elevatorstuck", prolonged frustration). "Chorale for Jaspers" was originally Jaspers' Leitmotif, but it has since been bootstrapped into becoming one of Rose's themes. This is most prominent in "At The Price Of Oblivion". Likewise, "Doctor" was originally a theme for LOWAS, which stayed valid when its remix Savior of the Waking World was used for John's ascension, but after "Savior of the Dreaming Dead" was used for Jade's, it sort of became a theme for ascensions. "Harlequin" was originally the theme for John's Kernelsprite, which means it was also the theme of Nannasprite and the monsters John initially faces. It shows up multiple times throughout Acts 1 and 2, but when the monsters become more varied (and less important) and Nanna's use as a Crutch Character decreases, it's heard a lot less. It eventually comes back as the theme for the clown-themed Gamzee.

They used it again for their second episode (Donkey Kong Country Returns) and it's been used as their opening theme from then on, despite them only revisiting Kirby on the channel once since. It even received bootstrapped lyrics for season 2, an official remix when the channel expanded to become Super Best Friends Play, and has also been remixed for specific LPs (such as Bloodborne and Deus Ex) to fit the theme of the game they are playing.

Bootstrapped Theme / int_64dd58b2	comment	What is recognized as the "Harry Potter theme" is actually called "Hedwig's Theme". Alexandre Desplat, who scored Parts 1 and 2 of Deathly Hallows, has stated that he decided to associate the theme with the innocence of the early installments, which (to his own regret) meant that it couldn't be used very much. The music is heard and then cuts off abruptly when Hedwig dies, giving it the double association of the death of Hedwig herself and the end of Harry's innocence. In Hallows, Part 2, it is played when Harry returns to Hogwarts and when Hogwarts is saved from Snape's reign. It appears yet again in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, here played when first introducing the audience to the American wizarding communities.

After Ocarina of Time, the song became associated with Zelda alone. The Overworld Theme from the original The Legend of Zelda.

It has since become Link's personal theme ("Song of the Hero") and the main theme of the entire franchise. The Hyrule Castle theme from A Link To The Past. After being absent during the franchise-defining N64 era, it returned in The Wind Waker and has come to represent Hyrule Castle in most games since then. It has also come to more generally represent the King of Hyrule, a usage which also originated in Wind Waker; in Breath Of The Wild, Hyrule Castle itself does not use the theme, but encounters with King Rhoam do.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is typically associated with the "Athletic" theme first heard in the fifth stage, "Hop! Hop! Donut Lifts". Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe both use remixes of the song to represent the series. Super Mario RPG tends to be associated with "Beware of Forest Mushrooms" due to that song's use in a number of popular animated music videos about the game, such as "Rawest Forest", and "Waltz of the Forest". It helps that the level that song appears in is also the one to introduce fan-favourite character Geno. The actual theme for Super Mario RPG is an entirely different song titled, "Fun Adventure, Cheerful Adventure". The Gusty Garden Galaxy theme has become more or less the main theme for the Super Mario Galaxy series. Portions of it appear in several areas of the first game (Purple Coin levels, the end credits); and in Super Mario Galaxy 2, it was used in the trailer-specific composition, and makes a few more appearances in the game itself. After that, the theme has reappeared several times, either in its entirety or as a snippet in another theme, and it's even used in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U as the theme of Rosalina in her debut trailer, as well as the "Wii" sound effect in Super Mario Maker 2. All this is in spite of the Galaxy games actually having a distinct theme completely separate from Gusty Garden. This theme is incorporated into the title screen and credits of both games, as well as the level start and star collecting jingles, and is prominently featured in the music for Melty Monster Galaxy in Galaxy 2.

This particular chorus from the song "Forces" was just an image song used in some battle sequences and in the previews for the next episode, but it's the most iconic song in this anime and when you hear that chorus, you seriously just want to sing along. It was also the theme to the trailer, so it's quite likely the first exposure many people would have had to the series.

Bootstrapped Theme / int_b369b969	comment	The "James Bond Theme" was first heard in Dr. No, and that was intended to be its only use, with new music composed for later films. It was so popular that not only did it become the theme for the entire franchise, it was incorporated into the arrangement of the instrumental theme for the second film, From Russia with Love, and notes of it can be heard in several of the films' main theme up to and including No Time to Die nearly sixty years later, and the theme's also used with variations in almost all of the Bond Gun Barrel sequences. From Russia with Love offers a bizarre attempt at an inversion. Despite the fact the film opens with a dynamic instrumental version of the theme, Matt Monro's vocal ballad version that closes the film was one promoted. Some editions of the movie's soundtrack album do not include the instrumental version at all. In addition, it's usually Monro's version that is used on Bond theme compilation albums. In recent years the fan-preferred instrumental has become more widely available, although there has yet to be an official release of the original on-screen version that features a jazzy organ backing.

Bootstrapped Theme / int_ba91ae7a	comment	Rocky composer Bill Conti had already written a quieter, sadder sounding piano theme for Rocky's character in the contemplative moments of the movie. Director John Avidson then asked Conti to write something inspiring for the training montage. Conti just started off with the fanfare that opens the movie, took the sad theme he had already written and added a beat and some lyrics and it became "Gonna Fly Now" which became Rocky's theme. In turn, it became the news theme to the ground-breaking CityPulse newscast in Toronto beginning in 1977; beginning around 1980, they used a different, punchier arrangement by Maynard Ferguson, which they used up until the early 90s. Afterwards, original compositions carrying the Gonna Fly Now melody were used instead (and by the mid-2000s the melody had been dropped entirely). This was likely intended to signal the underdog status of Citytv at the time, and how CityPulse strove to be very much a different beast from other newscasts in the area.

It's starting to supplant the Indiana Jones theme as the quintessential adventure theme. It was used in a commercial for a History channel special or some such about Ancient Greece, and Top Gear used it for a car-verses-ice kayak race. "He's a Pirate" was already an example of this. The number of people out there who love this piece of music, but think that it is Jack Sparrow's theme, is astonishingly high. Thing is, it isn't Jack Sparrow's theme... it's Will Turner's theme. At least, in the first film. From the second onwards "He's a Pirate" becomes Jack's secondary theme and Will's theme is supplanted by a melancholy tune primarily contained in one track called One Day (that used to represent Will and Elizabeth's relationship, but now it's their theme).

Unofficially, while it is recognizable, it shares the title of "theme of the series" with three other pieces: the "Prelude" or "Crystal Theme," the "Chocobo Theme", and probably most of all, the "Victory Fanfare". Final Fantasy VII: while many trailers and TV ads for the original game used original music not even featured in the game itself, trailers for Remake were really fond of showcasing its various arrangements of the boss battle theme, Fight On!note Also known as "Still more fighting" and "Those who fight further" rather than any of the game's main themes. Final Fantasy IX: Melodies of Life (at least the instrumental version) was largely Garnet's theme, as she hums it throughout the game.

All this is in spite of the Galaxy games actually having a distinct theme completely separate from Gusty Garden.

Bootstrapped Theme / int_d2dfd2f2	comment	The intro theme of the famous 1986 television adaptation of Journey to the West, particularly in recent memory, has become something of an example for this trope, as seen in some non-Chinese productions based on the story, like Monkie Kid. It also counts as a Bootstrapped Leitmotif as the theme appears specifically for the story's Spotlight Stealing Character, Sun Wukong the Monkey King.

Bootstrapped Theme / int_d3634dbb	comment	Casablanca itself is an example, too. The filmmakers wrote a song, specifically to be featured in the movie, which they were absolutely certain would become wildly popular, top all the charts, and become synonymous with the film. And that song was... "Knock on Wood." Seriously. Likewise, the studio had high hopes for "Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep" as the Breakaway Pop Hit from Holiday Inn. It actually was a bit of a breakout hit at the time, but nowhere near as big as "White Christmas" (though it's well-documented that Irving Berlin himself recognised the latter's hit potential from the start).

Bootstrapped Theme / int_dab32bd	comment	The title theme from Mega Man 2 has more or less become the title character's theme tune, being reused by several games in the main series & also as his theme when he appears in crossovers such as Marvel vs. Capcom. A (barely) less popular version is the Mega Man 3 title theme. Anniversary Collection uses both of them for its intro. The Wily Stage 1 theme from Mega Man 2 is also quite iconic, and has accompained the Blue Bomber a few times. To hammer the above point as well, his debut trailer Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, they use both the Mega Man 2 title and Wily Stage 1 themes.

While the Oompa-Loompa melody (which turns up four times!) is even catchier and rivals it for popularity, "Pure Imagination" sums up both Willy Wonka's character and the atmosphere of the story so well — and has become so beloved over the years — that it was incorporated into the otherwise all-new stage musical adaptation of the source novel in 2013, serving as The Eleven O'Clock Number. So it's effectively become the theme song of the story itself, not just one adaptation thereof.

Melee and also becoming Ness and Lucas' victory theme in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. There's also Pollyanna (I Believe in You), the initial overworld theme from EarthBound Beginnings. Despite the melody being far more prominent in the original game - with a quieter version even playing during some key emotional moments - it's become highly associated with Ness and his adventure from its sequel EarthBound (1994), where parts of the melody show up in only a few tracks, to the point it was later used in a montage of sorts for the game during Mother 3. It was also remixed in Super Smash Bros. Melee under the name "MOTHER 2", further cementing it as one for the second game, but its featuring in every game in the series has made it quite popular among fans as a theme for the Mother series as a whole among fans. While Pollyanna is traditionally the main theme, the Super Smash Bros. series treats Bein' Friends as the series theme. The track is much more likely to play on Onett than any other theme (with all the other series main themes also being the main track and never the alternate) and is put in the main themes playlist for Ultimate.
