You're worried they would pull some Theme Music Abandonment, and it made you mad. You're resigned to the fact that They Changed It, Now It Sucks!, but then the theme comes roaring back at just the right moment. Sometimes it's just Pandering to the Base, but usually it's withheld to create a massive Moment of Awesome at just the right moment. The practice of holding back some familiar theme music is often done in reboots or somewhat distant sequels. The familiar theme music once commonplace is played now only at the end. A variation of this is for the work to play the real theme music regularly, but to withhold a more popular song that is accepted by most as the de facto theme of the series, for example the level 1 or world map music from some games. |

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess offers a small sample of it in the overworld theme, then interweaves it with the main Twilight Princess theme in a brief jingle after Link inherits the Master Sword. A triumphant, full reprisal of it appears in the end credits. | |

Cuphead: When you download the Delicious Last Course, the title theme changes from "Don't Deal With the Devil" to "Overture (The Delicious Last Course)". However, the former song gets a Triumphant Reprise and new lyrics at the start of the DLC's credits theme, "The Key Ingredients". | |

The first Sam Raimi Spider-Man film uses the old 1960s animated TV show theme song in the end credits. Spider-Man 2 does the same with a modern cover of the song. Spider-Man: Homecoming goes one step further and averts the trope by having a fully orchestrated version of the theme play over the Marvel Studios logo at the beginning. | |

The final Harry Potter film takes its time in introducing the iconic theme. Drawn out, minor chord snippets appear here and there, showcasing how Darker and Edgier the film is. The full, normal version is finally played in all its glory when Headmaster Snape is thwarted, and all of Hogwarts bands together to stand against the Death Eaters. The torches in the previously unlit main hall are also lit at that time, to give a sense of hope to the scene. | |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) swapped out the traditional "Journey of the Sorcerer" with a new, original song based around the dolphins leaving Earth for the credits ("So Long and Thanks for All the Fish"). "Sorcerer", however, is used as fanfare to lead into the narrator introducing the Guide itself in a sequence that could be considered a second opening for the film. | |

The Legend of Zelda has withheld the series' main theme on numerous occasions: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, despite being one of the most well-known entries in the franchise, never had the series' main theme in its original release. It would only be added thirteen years later, when made part of the end credits for the Nintendo 3DS remake. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess offers a small sample of it in the overworld theme, then interweaves it with the main Twilight Princess theme in a brief jingle after Link inherits the Master Sword. A triumphant, full reprisal of it appears in the end credits. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword withholds the series' main theme until it is revealed that the "Song of the Hero" that you are compiling from the dragons is a variation of it once it is complete. Furthermore, Zelda's Lullaby doesn't get used for Zelda's scenes until a late-game cutscene involving her. |

Super Mario World: The iconic series theme that first played in the original Super Mario Bros. appears to be absent in this game (and there is the precedent of it being absent in Super Mario Bros. 3, despite being present in Lost Levels and the Subspace areas of 2). But when you go to the very last world (Special Zone), that music begins playing after you stay idle in the map for two minutes. | |

For Marvel Studios, The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame were all scored by Alan Silvestri, while Avengers: Age of Ultron was scored by Brian Tyler and Danny Elfman, and Captain America: Civil War was scored by Henry Jackman. Despite including nearly all the Avengers and having its plot centered around the Avengers as a team splintering, the music in Captain America: Civil War doesn't contain the Avengers theme, and Avengers: Age of Ultron has it rejigged, but not included in its original arrangement until the end credits. It wasn't until Avengers: Infinity War that it was heard in its full glory during the actual film. | |

Battlestar Galactica: The original series theme is used sparingly. Once in a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo during the miniseries, once as a full-blown orchestral arrangement in the episode "Final Cut" (that was arranged with the input of original series composer Stu Phillips), once during the flashback battle in the film Razor (a purely Bear McCreary arrangement), and one last time during the final scene featuring Galactica. | |

The Champion theme in Pokémon Sun and Moon takes its opening riff from the opening of the original opening theme of Pokémon Red and Blue, as a nod to the franchise's 20th anniversary. Made all the more powerful when you realize this is the player's theme song: you're already the Champion, and this is actually your first title defense match. | |

Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars replaces the previous (and only other) opening theme, "Moonlight Densetsu", with "Sailor Star Song". "Moonlight Densetsu" makes its first appearance since Super S and only appearance in Sailor Stars at the end of the final episode. Combined with Usagi's monologue it serves as bookends back to the very first season as well. | |

Casino Royale (2006): A Triumphant Reprise of the James Bond theme by Monty Norman and John Barry plays in full over the ending and credits. In previous Bond films, a snippet of the theme was played in the famous "gunbarrel" opening sequence, then usually a variation of it featured at least once in the movie itself during an action sequence. As Casino Royale was a reboot, it was decided to withhold the use of the theme until the very end. This is done again in Quantum of Solace and Skyfall, which also restore the full gunbarrel sequence, though only at the end of the films. Spectre brings both back to the film's opening, ditto No Time to Die. The use of the film's opening titles song as an instrumental secondary theme is withheld in Skyfall and Spectre, where the theme is only played once. Adele's "Skyfall" can be heard when Bond is entering the Macau casino, while Sam Smith's "Writing's on the Wall" is heard when Bond and Madeleine kiss on the train. On most Bond films, the ostinato of the Bond theme (da-da-DA-da) is used as a leitmotif. Casino Royale uses this to play a trick on the audience: the first two chords of the chorus from "You Know My Name" are more or less the same as the Bond theme's ostinato, so you hear those first two notes, and you're "primed" to finish it off in your head with the last two notes, but the score keeps going for "You Know My Name" until the end. |

"The Ballad Of Serenity", the theme song to the television series Firefly, is absent throughout Serenity. A quiet, single guitar, lyric-free version can be heard at the very end of the closing credits. | |

For Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the Jurassic Park theme music is played in its full glory only during the ending credits. Throughout the movie, only a couple of brief cues are heard referencing the theme. | |

Similarly, The Perils of Penelope Pitstop had a rinky-tink piano and a slapstick "Perils of Pauline" type instrumental in its first installment ("Jungle Jeopardy") which was replaced afterwards by the instrumental used in the closing credits. Boomerang airings and the DVD release have all seventeen episodes save for one with the "Jungle Jeopardy" instrumentals in their openings. | |
