As the name suggests, this is when the Title Sequence or closing credits of a series are slowly altered over the course of its run, by updating or replacing scenes to reflect major changes that have happened over previous episodes. This is a popular way of avoiding a Spoiler Opening for more plot-driven shows, usually mysteries, by having major characters who haven't been introduced or background characters with hidden importance initially being silhouettes or not appearing at all. When shows are aired outside their home country, on syndication with other broadcasters or collected on DVD, the changed credits might not be carried over, with the first version of the credits used throughout (or replaced by entirely different ones). Compare Evolving Music and Evolving Title Screen. Not to be confused with Title Sequence Replacement, where the title sequence for even previous episodes is changed for syndication and rerun purposes. If this happens every single episode, it may be a Couch Gag. |

Metroid Prime Trilogy has the main menu set inside Samus' Arm Cannon. After choosing a game and save file to load, the camera zooms out while Samus turns and shoots as a transition into the game. The armor she's wearing while doing this is the same as the suit she's currently wearing in the save file you loaded. In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, it even has different models of Samus' PED Suit as it gets more and more corrupted as the game progresses. | |

The most complicated intros were made when Ross played Super Mario Kart with Markiplier, since Arin (who animates the intros) accidentally spelt Mark's wrong, but decided to turn it into a running gag, giving us Markipiler, Markiplire, Mairkpleirr, Parkilimer, Mdaosfjjh$(fv, and finally Markiplier. | |

In Sonic Unleashed, the main menu is a shot of Earth. Prior to starting the game, the planet is intact, but returning to the screen after the intro instead shows the planet shattered. As the player progresses through the game & restores the Earth, the state of the planet is reflected on the main menu. | |

In the Fire Emblem series: In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, each time the player finishes a playthrough, a new set of battle and story sequences are added in the opening credits. You need to complete the game 15 times to unlock all of them, and the most interesting of them storywise (such as Lewyn being killed by Manfroy in battle, then resurrected/possessed by the Wind God Forseti) are of course the last ones you get. In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, once you reach Part 3, where Ike and the Greil Mercenaries are introduced, several scenes featuring them are added to the opening movie. In general, most games in the series include a "class roll" as an Attract Mode, which goes through the classes of the game. More classes are usually added with subsequent playthroughs, up to and including the Final Boss exclusive class in most cases. |

Phase 4, set in the post-Endgame status quo, uses the Phase 3 intro, but casts the concept art segment in monochrome gray and overhauls the clip montage, which again updates with each new movie and TV series. Used from WandaVision onwards. Werewolf by Night (2022) has its sequence interrupted by a woman screaming and then switches to black-and-white, the fanfare goes into a minor key and Ominous Latin Chanting turns up as well. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in silence with clips of Chadwick Boseman. |

Frankenstein (1931) lists the cast members in the opening credits... except for the Monster, who is billed with a question mark where the name should be. It's only after the film, when the cast is listed again, that we learn it was Boris Karloff. They did a similar thing with Kevin Spacey when he played the serial killer in Se7en |

Steam Train debuted a new intro for its first anniversary, where Ross is conducting the train and Danny, Arin, Barry and Suzy are all passengers; compare this to the original intro which only featured Ross and Danny (with alternate endings if Arin was involved as well). The new intro is more in line with Ross' vision of the show, where he'd host and other Game Grumps members would come in and out depending on the game (although Barry and Suzy were only involved in four-player Steam Rolled series, save for four holiday-themed episodes for Barry). When Brian joined the Grumps permanently, he was added as a face popping out from the top of the carriage. The Saint Patrick's Day holiday series Stout Train (with Barry and Ross) averts this, by keeping the same intro since it started. Except for adding any third player's face at the end, with Ross drunkingly stating, "Also [whoever]!" |

Star Trek III: The Search for Spock did not include Leonard Nimoy as Spock in the opening credits, unlike every other movie and episode. This was to avoid giving away Spock's eventual resurrection and fast-aging (so that he could be played by Nimoy again). It worked because so many people thought Nimoy hated playing Spock, as he allowed him to get killed off in Star Trek II and wrote a book called I Am Not Spock. | |

In Silent Hill, the opening movie changes when you finish a playthrough with a Good+ End: in the part where Harry and his wife find baby Cheryl, Harry's wife is swapped with Cybil. Similarly, the opening attract FMV for Silent Hill 2 changes once you complete the game. This time, spoken dialogue is reinserted into what was previously silent scenes that gives them spoilerific context. |

Phase 3: The camera pans through comic pages, before transitioning to script pages, then concept art, then finally a clip montage of previous movies (with new clips added with each subsequent film), all within a silver 3D Marvel Studios logo. Used from Doctor Strange to Spider-Man: Far From Home. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 tweaked the fanfare by highlighting the drums, which sticks with later films. All films released during the MCU's 10th Anniversary (Avengers: Infinity War to Avengers: Endgame) render the background at the end of the intro black, with the 2018 half (Infinity War and Ant-Man and the Wasp) also turning the "IO" in "STUDIOS" into a red "10". Captain Marvel has all its clips replaced by those featuring Stan Lee, who died before the movie's release. The sequence then fades to black before the words "THANK YOU STAN" appear. After the death of Chadwick Boseman, the Disney+ version of Black Panther had its sequence changed to clips of him.

The Harry Potter film series has the Warner Bros logo become progressively darker and rustier and the clouds become darker, representing how the story becomes darker and grimmer over time. This extends to the Fantastic Beasts prequels, which are set before the main series (and so are a little clearer and cleaner) but follow the same progression. |

As its cast evolved (as characters were often introduced out of nowhere), the opening sequence to Bonus Stage would change slightly between seasons to accommodate new characters, at one point adding a few bars to the song itself for Rya, Jessica, and Evil, until the theme song just changed entirely...twice. | |

Steam Train debuted a new intro for its first anniversary, where Ross is conducting the train and Danny, Arin, Barry and Suzy are all passengers; compare this to the original intro which only featured Ross and Danny (with alternate endings if Arin was involved as well). The new intro is more in line with Ross' vision of the show, where he'd host and other Game Grumps members would come in and out depending on the game (although Barry and Suzy were only involved in four-player Steam Rolled series, save for four holiday-themed episodes for Barry).

The Saint Patrick's Day holiday series Stout Train (with Barry and Ross) averts this, by keeping the same intro since it started. Except for adding any third player's face at the end, with Ross drunkingly stating, "Also [whoever]!" Grumpcade has the most variation. In general, there are three versions, for two players (with the two players shown as heads being picked with a claw crane), three players (with the players as faces on the each reel of a slot machine), and four players (with the players being selected on an arcade machine), but whenever anybody apart from Arin, Danny, Barry, Suzy, Ross or Brian is playing, one of the heads is a nondescript face with a question mark, before introducing the "guest" player. In the Grumpcade for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, ProJared and Jirard The Completionist fuse in the intro to become "ProJirard the Completionist". The most complicated intros were made when Ross played Super Mario Kart with Markiplier, since Arin (who animates the intros) accidentally spelt Mark's wrong, but decided to turn it into a running gag, giving us Markipiler, Markiplire, Mairkpleirr, Parkilimer, Mdaosfjjh$(fv, and finally Markiplier. The intros for the Miitopia series had Jimmy Whetzel as a guest, but for some reason the series had the two-player intro despite Holly also playing with them, so the intro pauses in a faux-VHS way as she's introduced. When Matt joins in from episode 9, he pops up at the end of the intro to introduce himself. Holly's and Matt's intros are also different for each episode. |

Yoshi's Island features a thicker instrumentation for the title theme for every world you unlock. And when you unlock that last world...the whole rotating world's appearance changes too. The main theme changes as well - before you reach World 6, there is a track of crashing waves which slowly fades into the Yoshi's Island theme (the transition is so slow most players don't even realize it's there). After World 6, the theme plays immediately. | |

The first scene in the opening sequence of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (both the quick pass by the group and the shot of them standing on the cliff) gets increasingly filled with secret characters as they get unlocked. This is carried over from the N64 game, where the final scene before the title screen is the silhouettes of the secret characters, that are revealed as they are unlocked. The 3DS game opens with a line-up of all the playable characters, again excluding ones that haven't been revealed or purchased. Also, when the Isle of the Ancients is destroyed during the plot, it is replaced on the title screen with a large glowing X in the distance. |

Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! started doing this halfway through with its covers, where the heroes stared aghast at a Blank White Void slowly consuming the image, until by issue #0 (they were numbered like a countdown, so that was the final issue, barring tie-ins), the cover was entirely blank, with even the title being in black and white. | |

In Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, each time the player finishes a playthrough, a new set of battle and story sequences are added in the opening credits. You need to complete the game 15 times to unlock all of them, and the most interesting of them storywise (such as Lewyn being killed by Manfroy in battle, then resurrected/possessed by the Wind God Forseti) are of course the last ones you get. | |

In The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, this gets used on the main screen in each game. The first game has a train that fills up with each member of Class VII that joins the party. 2 starts out with Rean all alone in the Eisengard Range after the events of 1. As you go through the game, the final main screen has Class VII on the deck of the Courageous. | |

The Knightfall trilogy event, which involves Jean-Paul Valley/Azrael being recruited to act in Batman's place, employs this. The self-titled first arc features the yellow and black classic Batman logo slowly being eclipsed by red and purple, and then a red and purple version of the new Azrael-Batman logo debuts on the cover of Batman #500. This logo, now gold and black, lasted through the next arc, Knightquest. KnightsEnd, the final part of the trilogy which has Batman facing off with Azrael, features the Knightquest logo as shattered and falling away to revealing the classic yellow-and-black Batman logo. |

The end credits of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask changes depending on whether or not the player has collected certain masks: The Postman's Hat, Kamaro's Mask, the Great Fairy's Mask, Romani's Mask, the Blast Mask, the Bunny Hood, the Circus/Troupe Leader's Mask, the Bremen Mask, and the Couple's Mask. You're normally shown a shot of the masks rotating on a black background as the credits roll, but each one you collect replaces the shot with a small scene of the characters from their respective sidequests. note The Gibdo mask quest is also included second to last as part of the montage, but since getting it is required to beat the game without the use of glitches, the scene of Pamela and her father will play regardless of if you've collected it or not. | |

In Angry Birds, after a bird has made its first appearance, it will be seen leaping across the title screen. Upon completing an episode, an item related to the episode will be flying across the title screen as well. If you get all stars in an episode, its respective item will adopt a star motif. Finally, the background of the title screen will change depending on which level you last played (if it is a level from "The Big Setup", however, the construction background won't appear). | |

The intros for the Miitopia series had Jimmy Whetzel as a guest, but for some reason the series had the two-player intro despite Holly also playing with them, so the intro pauses in a faux-VHS way as she's introduced. When Matt joins in from episode 9, he pops up at the end of the intro to introduce himself. Holly's and Matt's intros are also different for each episode. | |

Wild ARMs: In Wild ARMs 2, 3 and 4, whenever you load from a save it plays an opening credit sequence, and in Wild ARMs 3 whenever you save and quit it plays a closing sequence. The sequences change based on how far in the game you've gotten so far. The original and Alter Code F have one generic clip used throughout the game. Wild ARMs 2 and 4 have two different clips, which generally appear halfway through the game (on the second disk in the case of 2). Wild ARMs 3 goes mad with this though, having no fewer than five variations of the opening credits, not counting the different songs which also play in the background which evolve independently of the video footage. Though to be fair the versions were mostly the same, all that changed was a bit in the middle that showed the current villains for that point in the game. |

Left 4 Dead got one on PC with updates. Initially the menu was shown over a video of several zombies shambling about in an alleyway resembling one from the first campaign, "No Mercy". When the "Crash Course" DLC was added, the title video changed to zombies shambling about near the wreckage of a helicopter, which is where that campaign starts off at. The "Last Stand" DLC updated the title video again, this time to zombies shambling about near the lighthouse that is the centerpoint of the map in question. | |

Super Smash Bros..: The credits of the first two games won't show staff that was only involved with creating characters and stages that haven't been unlocked yet. Also, if someone worked on, for example, Mario and Luigi, it would say they worked on Mario and ???? if Luigi's locked. The first scene in the opening sequence of Super Smash Bros. Brawl (both the quick pass by the group and the shot of them standing on the cliff) gets increasingly filled with secret characters as they get unlocked. This is carried over from the N64 game, where the final scene before the title screen is the silhouettes of the secret characters, that are revealed as they are unlocked.
