Variable Mix	comment	The music for a non-interactive story, like a film or TV show, is expected to change and adapt to the action taking place. However, games have a limited ability to do this. It's not practical to have John Williams watch the player's actions and spur up the London Symphony Orchestra every time Solid Snake gets seen by a passing guard. A hard cut to a different piece is one possible solution for a game, and it's not so jarring when disguised by a sound effect. But some titles make better use of their technology: in a variable mix, the background music changes subtly and smoothly depending on what is going on in the game. The running background music could have, for example, parallel parts that Fade In and out with the rising and falling action level, seamlessly transitioning from a bare-bone ambient haunting theme to a hard-rocking drum-backed metal anthem during combat, and back again after the last enemy has fallen. A clever bit of composing that has a very subtle but real influence on player immersion. The MIDI musical interface, in which music pieces are not saved as pre-recorded audio but rather as musical notation that is interpreted on-the-fly by the sound hardware, is well suited for this sort of thing, though from The Seventh Generation of Console Video Games onward game developers have found ways of doing this with live music recordings as well. Often overlaps with Musical Spoiler for more Genre Savvy players who know what particular variations to listen for. Can sometimes enter a variant of Mickey Mousing known as Musical Gameplay. See also Theme Music Power-Up, which this often turns into if it happens during a boss battle. For music tracks whose instrumentation changes gradually (or layer by layer) as the player goes through a level or approaches a goal, see Progressive Instrumentation. Also, see Songs in the Key of Panic for the other end of the scale.

Variable Mix / int_10156c38	comment	Wii Play: In one-player Table Tennis, the music changes tempo with the ball speed and briefly adds instruments after every ten rallies. In Pose Mii, the music adds an instrument whenever a rainbow bubble is present. In two-player Laser Hockey, the music adds instruments at match point. In Billiards, the music changes while the balls are moving and further changes after an object ball has been pocketed but a foul has not occurred; the music goes back to normal at the end of the turn. In Tanks!, there are a total of 22 tracks. The track used depends on the strongest enemy tank present and the number of enemy tanks present.

Variable Mix / int_10ddd3d5	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The game has two Boss Battle themes, the bleak theme when the boss has an advantage, and the upbeat theme once Link finally gets close to its Achilles' Heel. Furthermore, in Hyrule Field, if you get on your horse, trumpets and other "epic" instruments are added to the music's arrangement, as well as additional melody phrases. If you stand still for a while, the music will slow down into a soft backing track; running off again will cause it to continue. As the sun sets, the music slows down, and segues into the nighttime music. In the morning, when the sun rises, "morning" music plays and leads back into the theme. Finally, once you reach Hyrule Castle, the music starts out as the Hyrule Castle theme, but slowly turns into Ganondorf's theme, one instrument at a time, the closer you get to the end, until you reach the end, where the former's theme is completely drowned out by the latter's. In the Sacred Grove, Skull Kid's trumpet is added to the music if you're near him, and there's a variation of the music if those puppet things of his are near you. Used awesomely in the final boss battle against Ganondorf. When you go into a chance, which is when both you and him have swords locked and are trying to push the other down, the music will change depending on which side is winning, sounding ominous when Ganondorf is winning, and playing the game's main theme when you are winning. Koji Kondo says that the reason he didn't use orchestrated music for Twilight Princess was because he apparently had trouble implementing variable mix with non-MIDI music with GameCube hardware. After Super Mario Galaxy and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, such troubles became a thing of the past.

In order to proceed to the last section of the level, Hana has to break three tear-shaped crystals ensnared by vines.

With default/no equipment, it defaults to the Unlosing Ranger's original theme, but different equipment pieces switches parts of the song to other arrangements depending on where the equipment is placed. These arrangements include (but are not limited to) an 8-bit theme for JRPG standard items like swords and shields, a Super Robot theme for mecha items like tank treads and rocket punches, and a sexy witch theme for cat ears and big boobs.

Variable Mix / int_187d570b	comment	In Devil May Cry 5 the playable characters' battle music changes depending on the player's style ranking. For example, when Nero encounters an enemy, the intro of his theme, "Devil Trigger", loops until he actually enters combat. From D to B-rank, the song's main verse loops, as he fills up the A-rank meter the drumbeat increases in intensity, and when he hits S-rank or higher, the song cuts to the chorus, dropping back to the main verse if he dips below S-rank again. Upon clearing the enemy encounter, the song segues to the outro. This video demonstrates it in action.

Drums join the track when enemies show up. Those who complete the Champion's Ballad DLC get an arrangement of the Shrine music in the Divine Beast Tamer where new instruments join in as you solve each of the Tamer's locks. In addition, Tarrey Town's music adds more instruments the more people you invite to live there, slowly going from an empty-sounding piece to a full band. The combat music is also dynamic, with it starting simple and getting more intense when fighting stronger enemies.

Variable Mix / int_22e5872a	comment	Donkey Kong Country: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: In the GBA version, which has a new soundtrack, the riverside levels have this, with the ambient+bongo track when out of the river, and an aquatic theme for when you're in the river. Of course, with most of the river levels eventually hurting you if you end up in the river... Donkey Kong 64: The song that plays in the Tag Barrel changes depending on who the light is hanging above. The main hub theme has variations depending on whether or not you're near DK Island, near the Kremlings' fortress or in one of the level hubs. Even if your character is not in an area where the music changes in a level, if you do something that triggers an event in such an area, the music will change as the camera enters that area. There's also a more minor version with the music in the tag barrel, where it switches out instruments depending on which Kong is currently highlighted. Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: The background music is often a simple, understated little tune. And if you play through the levels like a normal platformer, it'll stay that way. However, once you start using the combo system (doing tricks in midair and stringing moves together without touching the ground), things get interesting as you collect more and more bananas. More instruments will be added to the song. Then the percussion begins to pick up. Then a crowd yells "GO! GO! GO!" to the beat of the song. Then the crowd also yells "Wooo!" on the off-beats and claps along. Then the main tune is overlaid with some funky jazz riffs. And then the percussion starts drowning everything out... When you finally land and end your combo, the crowd breaks into a hearty cheer, and then it's back to the simple music again. Playing well in this game gets you pumped. There is also the boss music, which effortlessly switches from tense to triumphant, depending on whether DK is on the defensive or the offensive. Donkey Kong Country Returns: The island map has the well-known "Simian Segue" as its BGM until you zoom to any part of it, where it fades to a different rearrangement (with the same rhythm, no less) of that theme in every section, using the appropriate instruments (for example, steel drums in the "beach" map). The music of the bosses in Worlds 2, 4, and 5 varies depending on how close you are to landing a hit on them, and resets back to its standard form when you do. Each mine cart level and rocket barrel level has instrument changes for their respective themes dependent on the level. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze has a more relaxing, atmospheric mix of level themes playing when you go underwater, somewhat similar to both Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and former fellow Rare franchise Banjo-Kazooie (some levels will even have the song's melody replaced with the melody of "Aquatic Ambience" from the original game). Also, like most Mario games, the music of Rambi levels gets an added drum beat when you're riding him.

In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, several of the boss tracks change depending on what the boss is doing—instrumentation changes when The Fear is hungry, when Ocelot is breaking from the fight to reload his gun, when The Pain is shooting Bullet Bees, when The Fury's suit gets ripped, and so on.

Variable Mix / int_284882f8	comment	WarioWare: WarioWare: Smooth Moves: An unusual example comes on Dribble and Spitz's stage. The vocal song "Tomorrow Hill" plays throughout the level. When you mess up, the song distorts. You might think it's just an effect placed over the original song, but it's actually a variable mix—the distorted parts of the song are actually sung differently, sometimes even with nonsensical words in place of the normal ones ("Already said my goodbyes" becomes "Already ate my french fry", for example). This alternate version of the song, "Falling Off Tomorrow Hill", can even be heard in the Sound Test. WarioWare: D.I.Y. combines this with a Background Music Override for Jimmy's stage. The stage plays a dedicated song over all the microgames. The song has variants for failing the microgame and the vocals are pitch shifted to keep up with the tempo as the stage speeds up. WarioWare: Get It Together! Penny's theme has lyrics that change depending on whether or not you succeed in a microgame at that point in the song. Successful microgame clears lead to more positive lyrics.

Ultimate has New Donk City Hall, in which playing "Jump Up, Super Star!" or "Ground Theme (Band Performance)" will result in having Pauline and her band mates appear in floating platforms. Should anyone pass through them, they will start playing their instruments with Pauline initiating her singing if the fighters pass through her. When the platforms that take all the fighters reaches down to where the stage starts, All of the Band Mates that's playing are presented. Unique to this stage's music selection is a variant that included the Full Band Performance, which immediately has the band already performing, contradicting that every stage enables to play the track list rather than each stage having their own set of music, like in prior games.

For example, the courtyard in Interval 3 where the helicopter drops off several Replicas. And Scare Chords are often set to the action, e.g. when the gun turrets activate.

The sting is cued to the location, not the Tyrannosaurus itself, so gamers who've managed to kill him while barely surviving and who then go back past the same point for some reason may mess themselves when they hear the sting again.

Variable Mix / int_2d940749	comment	Several songs in beatmania IIDX actually sound different on different difficulties. Usually these are slight rearrangements, but sometimes they're entirely new remixes. Here's a pretty comprehensive list — remember that "Light7" means Normal (and was eventually renamed as such) and "Another" means Nintendo Hard. There's no attempt to blend the different songs; what you pick is what you get. However, three songs ("Scripted Connection", "Anthem Landing" and "Shade", all by the same artist) sound different on each difficulty because they're different parts of the same long song - Normal ends where Hyper (hard) begins, and Hyper ends where Another begins. The home version of the version that debuted "Scripted Connection" had an Easter Egg allowing the player to play the entire song as one piece. And of course, since you're playing these songs, your skill affects how closely you come to actually recreating the song. Do badly, and notes drop - because you never played them. Conversely, long blank sections in a column can be filled in with freestyle riffs. As of tricoro, the menu music also counts as this, as it gains more instruments as you make your way through the main menu.

Some levels even have separate areas with different themes that also have their own variable mix. In "Vicky Strikes Back", selecting the Gamma Ray wish will add percussion and a phaser effect to the stage music. This does not apply to the level's pinball area, though there is a variable mix of its theme, as well. However, it's not triggered by sprinting, but by rolling around really fast in your pinball. There's even different mixes depends on how fast you're rolling. In "Get a Clue", turning the mansion upside-down will cue a remixed version of the normal theme. It does not get its own sprint remix, however.

By far the worst, though, is that the music sting that would play when enemies were approaching would not be played unless the player was looking at the creature. As a result, it's entirely possible to wander around a room, thinking there's nothing in there, and get stabbed in the back by something that's been stalking you; complete with a nice little music sting timed just right to go with the stabbing.

Different sections of the level play different verses of the song, and are tied together with a variety of randomly selected guitar solos and instrumental sections that can be subtly looped and rearranged in any order for continuous music no matter how long the player takes, such that no two playthroughs of the level will have the exact same sound. According to Poets member Markus Kaarlonen, the full piece contains roughly 130 discrete clips of music that can be rearranged into countless complete songs.

Variable Mix / int_40df9d34	comment	Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit. Each course has two music tracks: a rock and a techno track. The music changes in pace and intensity depending on several factors: each section of a track has several loops assigned to it and is affected by your grid position, speed and laps in the race (for example: being near the back at slower speeds uses a quieter portion while being, say, at the front at 100 mph on the final lap meant the music would be the most intense). There is even a special bit that plays when you crash (and sometimes that varies depending on location) as well as one when being chased (even that varies, the music is more intense the closer a cop is to you). This also applies to some tracks in Need for Speed II: Special Edition but doen't have the chase segments. Some tracks don't share this variable mix, such as "Hauling Ass" and "Headless Horse" for Norway's Proving Grounds (since it is a simple oval track so a variable mix would've been unnecessary).

And if you play through the levels like a normal platformer, it'll stay that way. However, once you start using the combo system (doing tricks in midair and stringing moves together without touching the ground), things get interesting as you collect more and more bananas. More instruments will be added to the song. Then the percussion begins to pick up. Then a crowd yells "GO! GO! GO!" to the beat of the song. Then the crowd also yells "Wooo!" on the off-beats and claps along. Then the main tune is overlaid with some funky jazz riffs. And then the percussion starts drowning everything out... When you finally land and end your combo, the crowd breaks into a hearty cheer, and then it's back to the simple music again. Playing well in this game gets you pumped. There is also the boss music, which effortlessly switches from tense to triumphant, depending on whether DK is on the defensive or the offensive.

Shy Guy Falls and Wario's Gold Mine add the sounds of mining equipment and "heave-ho" sounds to the background music when a player is in the mine section of the course. Dolphin Shoals uses saxophones and guitars in place of steel drums during its above-ground sections, and gets quieter during the cavern section. Electrodome adds crowd chanting noises when a player is close to the finish line, and the music becomes more ambient during the anti-gravity sections. Mount Wario's music track is split into four parts, each of which is assigned to a specific area and transitions smoothly into the next one as the player advances. Cloudtop Cruise's music changes from orchestra strings to electric guitar when inside the storm cloud. Super Bell Subway's music loses the strings alongside other instruments and adds a bassline in the tune of World 1-2 from Super Mario Bros. when in the underground section.

There's a different battle theme variation for him after he turns One-Winged Angel, although it's still preceded by "Feel The Tense". Resident Evil 2 was originally going to have more dynamic music, according to videos of RE 1.5, where the music seamlessly changed depending on the action and the player character's health. Verdugo and Krauser's themes in Resident Evil 4 do this before and during their boss fights. Also, creepy droning atonal music starts to build up when Ganados or other danger are approaching.

Variable Mix / int_58a0656b	comment	PAYDAY 2: Each track has four separate sections: Stealth/Setup, a quiet and more downbeat portion whilst the heist remains in stealth, Control, a more tense portion once stealth breaks or for downtime between assault waves, Anticipation, which rises in intensity as an assault wave approaches, and Assault, a louder and more intense portion which kicks in once the wave starts. Shadow Raid, Murky Station and Yacht Heist are mixed to gain intensity based on the player's actions, as they lack assault waves due to being stealth-only heists. Yacht Heist is notable in that it has 11 different tracks, almost triple that of every other song in the game. The Alesso Heist has the music from the concert work the same way as the soundtrack does in other heists. Which, if you're particularly slow, means the star DJ will be playing a single song for an hour.

Rock The Cradle is a notable oddity - in stealth, the nightclub's music system acts as the soundtrack, much like the Alesso Heist. Go loud at any point, and Cryptoshot kicks in as the music system shuts off.

They are alternate versions of the same theme, and fade between each other seamlessly when the phase changes. An experimental "Making Of..." compendium called The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 allowed users to (among other things) segue between the moods of each track at the push of a button. (For the curious, compare and contrast the Tanker Alert music with the Tanker Evasion music. As you can hear, the claustrophobic Evasion theme is a stripped-down version of the passionate, exciting Alert theme with the same chords—so if Snake gets seen again, the melody of the Alert theme can cut straight in.) There's also the "suspicion" theme, a more tense version of the main stealth theme, played when a guard notices something, before going to full alert, ala Splinter Cell. Also used a bit in some other situations. The music in the Shell 1 Conference Hall in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty gains a creepy string track if Raiden takes off his disguise, and an electric piano line is added to the music when Raiden is leading Emma by the hand, and a drum track when he's trying to snipe her pursuers. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, several of the boss tracks change depending on what the boss is doing—instrumentation changes when The Fear is hungry, when Ocelot is breaking from the fight to reload his gun, when The Pain is shooting Bullet Bees, when The Fury's suit gets ripped, and so on. For the Boss, the music acts as your timer, with instrumental kicking in at 5 minutes left, followed by the full song with vocals at 3 minutes racing you to the end.

A distortion effect is added whenever the player is shrunk or flattened due to item or track effects. As a specific example, Toad's Factory adds clapping to the music while you're indoors. Mario Kart 7 adds extra percussion (bass/snare "dance" beat or a hi-hat, for example) to the BGM if the player takes a significant lead in 100cc or higher, which continues in 8. Mario Kart 8 has music layers in a few tracks as well: Water Park loses most of its percussion and gains a more ambient synth feel during the underwater sections. Shy Guy Falls and Wario's Gold Mine add the sounds of mining equipment and "heave-ho" sounds to the background music when a player is in the mine section of the course.

Super Bell Subway's music loses the strings alongside other instruments and adds a bassline in the tune of World 1-2 from Super Mario Bros. when in the underground section. Mario Kart Tour: Singapore Speedway has a track whose techno-inspired music plays for the most part, but then changes into a far-east variant when drivers enter the Chinatown area. Madrid Drive subtly changes the state of its theme into a variant with vocals when players enter the soccer stadium (based on Real Madrid's in real life).

Variable Mix / int_5dfb8aa2	comment	Sonic Generations: The music gains a more fast-paced drum beat when boosting in Modern Sonic's Green Hill and Sky Sanctuary stages. In all other stages, boosting simply adds a filter to the music. This originated in Sonic Colors, where, upon boosting, the prominent instruments in the BGM would be drowned out a bit, allowing the drum & bass to come center stage. Diving underwater with Sonic in Aquarium Park also creates subtle changes in the music. During the Death Egg Robot boss battle, the music starts out as a march. Once the second phase begins (when you first have to lure him to hit the bombs), it seamlessly turns into more of a rock song, then adding a faster drum beat for the final phase (one hit left) that plays all the way until the results screen. The Time Eater's theme transitions seamlessly between an orchestrated rendition with Ominous Latin Chanting for Modern Sonic and a more electronic version for Classic Sonic, depending on which one the player currently controls.

Variable Mix / int_6053d9f9	comment	Used a lot in the Silent Hill series; sometimes there's a variation of a music piece that only plays when entering or exiting a room (like the scary music when you return to the clock room for the last time in the second game, and the Scare Chord when you jump across the alleyway), or different variations are used for different types and numbers of enemies (e.g. the music quiets down when there's only one or two left), as well as different rooms (the alternate mall in the third game is a major example). The music often gets scarier when you're about to enter the Dark World, such as after you unlock the school's clock tower or activate the hospital's generator. Some BGMs, for example the sewers in the third game, have up to 10-15 variations. A particularly scary example occurs when you make the final Leap of Faith from the prison morgue to the Labyrinth in Silent Hill 2. First there's the regular droning ambience, then it adds a groaning noise similar to a steam valve, then a horrible high-pitched siren-like sound (so bad you have to cover your ears, worse than the "radio squeal" in the first game). The alleyway sequence in the first game. First quiet ambience, then the air-raid sirens start up when it gets dark, then a loud scraping mechanical noise when you pass the gurney, then it adds an Ominous Pipe Organ when you see the blood and disemboweled corpses, and finally the percussion kicks in when you hit the end of the alley and get ambushed by the Gray Children.

SWAT 3's music switches between a downbeat and a more frantic version of the same tune depending on whether you're in stealth or dynamic mode. Larger maps have separate stealth tracks for different areas, such as for the different floors of a mansion, but each map only has one dynamic track - and it just so happens that firing a shot automatically moves you into dynamic mode and switches the music, even if that shot is simply something like shooting a locked door with breaching shells (although if you're doing that you're probably intending to go in guns-blazing anyway). SWAT 4, meanwhile, would temporarily switch to the full-action part of the song whenever a flashbang detonated, regardless of if anyone (other than you) was actually around to be affected by it.

When performing well, the track is as it's meant to be heard. When performing badly, the midrange might drop out, the bass remaining only barely; in a few stages the melody changes into a minor key. Parappa the Rapper 2 takes this even further by giving the "Bad" and "Awful" tiers their own unique melodies and transitioning between them via the teacher telling you "Getting better!" or "Getting worse!". If you do really badly, you start hearing odd squeaks and honks, reminiscent of a comically malfunctioning machine.

For example, the music always changes to a harp arrangement when diving underwater. And in the first world, Mumbo's Mountain, a military drumbeat is added to the track when the player approaches the termite hive, and the song's orchestration entirely changes to a more tribal-sounding variant when near Mumbo's skull. Gruntilda's Lair alone has at least 11 different themes that blend seamlessly from one to the next: The base theme music, the underwater music, and one for each world that plays when you approach a world's portrait or entrance, with an arrangement appropriate for that world. In Banjo-Tooie, there is a glitch where after beating Mr. Patch, sometimes every variation of the Witchyworld theme plays at once until you exit the tent. Unsurprisingly, Spiritual Successor Yooka-Laylee has the same kind of effect in the playable "Toybox" pre-alpha, and in various areas of the game proper (though sadly not in the hub world).

Variable Mix / int_7fb486bc	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening has one example applicable for all versions, and three which only occur in the Switch remake: All versions do a variable mix with its central Ballad of the Windfish. Once the first two of eight instruments are collected, the Ocarina becomes obtainable, and the song can be played in front of the big egg... but it will sound rather empty. As more instruments are collected, the process can be repeated, until having all eight summons the full song. In the remake, while traveling with Marin prior to the fourth dungeon, the songs for the overworld, Mysterious Forest, and Tal Tal Heights are replaced with solo recorder covers. In the remake, when viewing the relief at the Ancient Ruins, the minimalist background song gains a string section to underscore the Wham Episode. In the remake, after rescuing Marin from the collapsed bridge, the Tal Tal Heights music gains heavier percussion, adding snare drum and timpani. This variation plays from the start in Hero Mode.

This usually takes the form of radical changes (such as changing from wistful and slow to optimistic and upbeat), but can also be more subtle (such as in the finale, where the every choice you made across the game combines to alter the instruments used in the backing track). In Unleash the Light, the BGM becomes muffled whenever you pause while Greg's and Steven's electric guitar and ukulele lines, respectively, return from the second game whenever you use their musical abilities.

Variable Mix / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Bros. 2: The music continues playing when the game is paused but cuts out the main instruments, leaving a sort of "drum and bass" mix. Super Mario World: When the player mounts a Yoshi, a track of bongo drums is added to the music, no matter which of the several background music tracks is playing at the time. The same thing happens in Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U. Grabbing the Tanooki powerup in New Super Mario Bros. 2 mildly changes the background music. In New Super Mario Bros. U, carrying a Baby Yoshi causes them to sing along with the background music. Super Mario 64: The water theme. When you are on the beach in Jolly Roger Bay, the music is solely composed of electric piano. If you go in the water, it gains violins; and the hidden cave adds drums to it. The theme of Hazy Maze Cave and Wet Dry World. Normally, it plays a remix of the Super Mario Bros. Underground Theme. However, once you're at a certain area, the theme starts adding a few creepy instruments. The level Big Boo's Haunt does this with its own theme, with a Scare Chord used as the default theme and percussion sounds added in the inner and lower areas. Super Mario Galaxy: Happens in the boss battles against Bowser whenever he becomes open to attacks. The song is normal until you get Bowser to land on the lava; when that happens and he runs around with his tail ablaze, the Ominous Latin Chanting comes in. When you hit him and he is spinning on his shell, a flute is added in with the song and singing chorus until you hit him again, then the song returns back to normal until you do it again. Every time you activate a sling or launch star a harp will be added in tempo and harmony. If you activate a launch star, the harmony will be longer; if you use the sling stars, the harmony will be shorter. This occurs with every single song, even with the Rainbow Star (invincibility) and power-up songs (Fire Flower, Ice Flower, etc.) Any coins that pop up from bushes, etc. will be in tempo and harmony with the song. Occurs with the Star Ball levels. The less you move, the quieter the song gets and there is only one instrument playing, but, the faster you go, the faster the tempo gets and the more instruments that come in. Done in the Battlerock and Dreadnought Galaxies when the level switches from a quiet, calm section to an action filled section with cannons and Bullet Bills, with the music getting more epic or just quiet accordingly. The Beach Bowl and Sea Slide Galaxies work similarly, with the loud brass and high flute switching out for steel drums and other luau-ish instrumentation when you dive underwater. Same case with Buoy Base: above water, it's Symphony Orchestra, below water it's synthesiser and organ. The question-mark color-changing platform puzzles deal out a tone every time you step on a separate platform. Each tone is in tandem with whatever chord is currently being used in the melody of the stage. Water levels in Super Mario 3D Land transition between "beach" and "underwater" themes depending on whether Mario is submerged. Additionally, the music will fade (as if it's following him) if Mario flies above the top of the screen, and sounds muffled (as if being played through water) if Mario is submerged. Super Mario 3D World does the same thing with the beach music, but it also has a more interesting form of this in that the circus-themed levels actually play different parts of the level music depending on which section of the level you are in. Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2 use prerecorded music harmonies whenever you're making a stage that it transitions in and out of depending on what you're doing; however, they use MIDI for the melody, and the games actually call out the item you're placing and alters the pitch to match the melody, leading to the game "singing" along to the music with the name of the item you're placing! Super Mario Odyssey uses this feature quite a bit, mostly for when Mario is Capturing something. Capturing a frog in Top Hat Tower will add a GÃ¼iro to the music, capturing Madame Broode's pet Chain Chomp will add rhythmic barking, capturing and moving along a power line will add a saw wave arpeggio (or koto arpeggio in Bowser's Kingdom), extending or contracting as a Tropical Wiggler will play an accordion chord that matches the music, capturing a Banzai Bill will add a harsh electronic melody, and so on. Interestingly, if you use the in-game music player to change the background music, most (but not all) of these will change to match it! During the Robo Brood battle, an ominous orchestral number will play in the background, but while the boss is vulnerable, it switches to a traditional Japanese arrangement of the piece. The music alterations are also used for other bosses, such as Torkdrift. Whenever you enter an 8-bit pipe, the background music will change to a chiptune arrangement (unless you're at the New Donk City festival or using the in-game Music Player). Super Mario Bros. Wonder uses quite a bit of variable mix. Most frequently, percussion is added to the background music when players are walking or running. Playing in a character's Elephant form adds a brass section to the current level's background music. During the Wonder Effect in the level "Piranha Plants on Parade", defeating a certain Piranha Plant (or preventing it from spawning by standing on or next to its pipe) will remove its part from the song.

A notable early area where this can be seen is the Bazaar, where each shopkeeper has their own little leitmotif that's a variation on the main one set to play when you approach their stall. The most mindblowing aspect of this is that aside from the Bazaar, Fi's singing, and various other MIDI tracks, every piece of music that's orchestrated is prerecorded. The game accomplishes the transition effects by layering each recorded part of the music on top of each other, and then fading the relevant tracks in and out according to the player's actions. There are a maximum of 6 channels per track in the game.

Persona 5: "Beneath the Mask", which plays at CafÃ© Leblanc, has a quieter mix that plays in lieu of the regular version whenever it rains in-game. Royal does this when it comes to Mementos. The first two sections retain the old Mementos theme from the original game, but switches out to a new song starting with the third area that builds up in intensity as you go deeper. Then the all-new area unlocked in the third semester combines both Mementos themes for a disjointed, yet satisfying remix.

The boss has four weapons that must be removed, and every time you take a weapon off, the music will gain some new element. That means five different versions of the main battle theme. Also, the music will briefly diverge to a different theme whenever a weapon is used, and every weapon has its own theme. In total, there's nine themes. There are variations on the background music depending on which captain you're currently in control of; Olimar's versions are played on the beat, while Louie's (and, by extension, the President's) versions are swung with a jazz-like syncopated rhythm.

Presented with a dry sequence of blue windows explaining what buttons to press to do what, an extra layer was added to the music each screen pressed through - drums, bass, harmony, counter-melody - giving a great sense of build-up.

When the Gym Leader is down to their last PokÃ©mon, a drumroll leads up to a roaring crowd chant. PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet do this extensively in the overworld. The music picks up a lot when you're riding your legendary mount around, and most of the wild battle themes are actually the background music for the area kicked into high gear.

In battles, dramatic flourishes are added as you hit enemies, and in boss fights, different variations of the boss's theme are used (e.g. the Helmaroc King's music gets a bass line once you remove his crown). The Mini-Boss theme gets a special mention, as it has versions for: sword sheathed (Soft), sword drawn (Hard), near enemy (drums are added), low health (fast), landed attacks (the added chords as per usual), landed ENEMY attacks (pitch lowers while the song speeds up), and even a specific horn roll plays while using the spin attack.

However since the music was almost entirely made up of licensed tracks, the mixing amounted to jumping to various parts of the music track (shortcuts would have a downtempo, the end of the track is climactic, etc). In addition to this, being at the front of the pack would amp up the bass, while getting big air would 'suck' all of the bass and most of the treble out of the music, as if the music itself were gasping. In SSX Tricky, the tempo of the It's Tricky lyrics when landing an Uber Trick would match the pace of the music The only exceptions to this were the main menu tracks for SSX Tricky and SSX3, which played this trope more traditionally. As well, the music in the original SSX was only affected by the "big air" and "first place" filters, and did not jump around the music track depending on where on the course the player was like the later games. SSX3 took it to the next level, with the track switching to a portion without lyrics if the player wiped out, and did not return until got back up to speed or landing a decent trick.

Variable Mix / int_a796bde8	comment	Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater have two versions of the Alert theme, one for the "Alert" phase and one for the "Evasion" and "Clearing" phases. They are alternate versions of the same theme, and fade between each other seamlessly when the phase changes. An experimental "Making Of..." compendium called The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 allowed users to (among other things) segue between the moods of each track at the push of a button. (For the curious, compare and contrast the Tanker Alert music with the Tanker Evasion music. As you can hear, the claustrophobic Evasion theme is a stripped-down version of the passionate, exciting Alert theme with the same chords—so if Snake gets seen again, the melody of the Alert theme can cut straight in.)

Variable Mix / int_a7a0b48b	comment	NieR: Automata. Virtually every piece of background music has additional tracks - often including a vocal-track - that pops in under the right circumstance. For example, completing certain benevolent side-quests in Pascal's Village will cause a voice-track featuring joyfully-singing children to overlay the local theme, talking to Anemone in the Resistance-Camp will cause the Woodwinds (and, after a certain point, the voice-track) to join into the local theme. And of course, the ultimate example is the final theme, Weight of the World, that plays as you try to fight your way to the Golden Ending. Starting out as a retro 8-bit track, it turns fully embodied as you struggle on, adding goosebump-inducing vocals... and as you continue to fail and yet refuse to give up, uplifting messages from across the world will pop up to egg you on, while the song switches smoothly between English, Japanese and French. When you finally get offered - and accept - the help of other players, a chanting chorus joins in, helping your spirit soar as together, you fight through the previously-impossible challenges towards the final reward... Truly a piece of music that cannot exist, in its truest form, anywhere BUT in a piece of interactive media. Lastly, every single area theme has a whopping 7 variants: a quiet, medium and dynamic version, 3 more variants of the same kind but with vocals, and one more chiptune-styled rendition for 9S' hacking minigame.

Other times there's just one track, period, and a few areas have completely different music for battles. In Final Fantasy XV, when riding a chocobo, the music changes depending on how fast you go. For example, when you walk slowly, the music starts off by playing a relaxing flute and acoustic guitar and when you start dashing/running, the music changes to an upbeat version of the same song. Used to great effect in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth where each region has both its own unique overworld theme (or themes, depending on the region) and a battle theme that it shares a base melody with allowing for the game to seamlessly switch in and out of them in combat. In addition, certain fights have their own unique version of that region's battle theme that follows this as well.

For example: The Chozo Ruins start out with a choral ambient track accompanied by various synth sound effects. Once you acquire the Morph Ball, a drum machine, piano, and more melodic synth leads are added to the music. Further variations of the Ruins theme can be heard during the Energy Core puzzle and in the Furnace area. When Samus enters the Depths of Phendrana Drifts, the music gains techno synths and drums. During battles with the Space Pirates in their research facilities, a more frightening tune plays over the already ominous Drone of Dread ambience.

If they're split into their components, the components start to sing in harmony, even dividing up lead and backing vocals between themselves. The more LocoRocos the player has obtained, the thicker the choir - and as soon as they're grouped back together, the amalgam sings a single-voiced melody. In LocoRoco 2, once more LocoRocos are obtained, the background music improves from just wind-instrument playing to having the friendly MuiMuis sing. Songs from the first game had similar changes, but they were more subtle and only applied to songs in which LocoRocos were backup singers. In the spinoff game Midnight Carnival, the music is completely instrumental by default, but will gain more vocals from the unfriendly BuiBuis the more bounces you chain together.

Variable Mix / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: In the pre-Adventure games, the BGM currently playing would speed up if you got the super shoes (only Sonic CD and the Saturn version of Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island didn't do this â€” presumably technical limitations since they were playing direct from audio CD). Sonic Heroes has Mystic Mansion with its segmented level theme; different segments play and loop depending on where in the level you are, transitioning at noticeable "checkpoints". You can hear them all in sequence in the Sound Test. The preceding level (Hang Castle) toys with this as well, albeit differently. Its two themes are interchanged virtually seamlessly as you go from normal castle to upside-down castle and back again. Sonic Generations: The music gains a more fast-paced drum beat when boosting in Modern Sonic's Green Hill and Sky Sanctuary stages. In all other stages, boosting simply adds a filter to the music. This originated in Sonic Colors, where, upon boosting, the prominent instruments in the BGM would be drowned out a bit, allowing the drum & bass to come center stage. Diving underwater with Sonic in Aquarium Park also creates subtle changes in the music. During the Death Egg Robot boss battle, the music starts out as a march. Once the second phase begins (when you first have to lure him to hit the bombs), it seamlessly turns into more of a rock song, then adding a faster drum beat for the final phase (one hit left) that plays all the way until the results screen. The Time Eater's theme transitions seamlessly between an orchestrated rendition with Ominous Latin Chanting for Modern Sonic and a more electronic version for Classic Sonic, depending on which one the player currently controls. Reversed in Sonic Unleashed where the drum & bass would be drowned out, sometimes completely, when boosting. Sonic Frontiers does this during the Titan boss fights. For each of them, the first half of their theme plays on a loop throughout the first half of the fight, then once they turn red, the second half loops for the rest of the fight. Each theme's intro and outro plays during the pre- and post-fight cutscenes respectively, just to tie it all together.

The 3D Land stage's music goes from the main theme of Super Mario 3D Land to the beach theme from the same game when it changes to beach form. When the stage is about to change back to grassland form, the music begins speeding up before going back to the first song. The stage's alternate music track does this as well, but like Summit's music, it's a single audio track that only matches up by coincidence. The Reset Bomb Fortress stage features a remix of Viridi's theme from Kid Icarus: Uprising. The music is timed to the transitions in the stage. It's worth noting that this is the only music track in the entire Super Smash Bros. series that halts when the game is paused, so the music doesn't desync from the events onscreen.

The first day is upbeat and cheerful, the second day is faster as people begin to realize that the moon is getting bigger. On the third (and final) day, the music is frantic, with a very ominous backing-track. And then, the whole game goes out of character by halting all its various soundtracks (except boss battle music) in the last 6 hours of the final day. They're over-ridden with the terrifying portent of the game's single most ominous track as the end is nigh. Even more chilling is the countdown timer popping up before doomsday hits. The song is also accompanied by clock bells tolling every now and then, the bells becoming really tense and frequent just before time runs out and the moon strikes Termina.

During gameplay, the background music gets muffled while the player is swimming in their ink, going back to normal once they jump back out. Each game has all its stores share the same basic theme, with the instrumentals changing depending on which one you're currently in. During a Splatfest, the individual idol's vocals will be louder or softer depending on which one you're standing near. In the various Hero Modes, the background music gradually evolves and adds layers of instruments with each boss you defeat. A short, muffled loop of a level's music track will also play when you approach its Kettle. A rhythmic cymbal crashing is added to the soundtrack whenever an enemy is near. In the first game's UFO levels, the drums and alien chattering drop out if you escape the Octostriker's sights. In enemy Octoling levels, the snare and vocal samples drop out if no Octolings are nearby. In all single-player levels (save the Final Boss), the music increases in pitch and tempo at the last checkpoint. During the first game's final boss fight, a strange banjo-and-electric-guitar melody is added to the music when he fires a missile.

The final boss theme, "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit", transitions into an intermediary segment once the boss is close to entering its second phase, which smoothly turns into a new, more intense arrangement when the boss enters its second phase proper. The song has several variants depending on which point the transition occurs. "The Ultimate Fight" and "Decisive Battle: Ultimate Z", the Colosseum boss themes, add extra percussion and bass once the boss Turns Red. The music for "The Battle of Blizzard Bridge" will only loop the second half once you make it far enough on the bridge's normal route. Otherwise, the first half is the only part that loops (the first half will also be the only one to loop if you take the secret path). "The Raging Lion Roars" switches to an intermediate vamp once Leongar's health decreases enough to the point where it gets closer to activating the second phase. Once it does, the dramatic portion of the music plays before looping back to the beginning from there. Getting hit by Morpho Knight's sound wave attack not only tilts the camera 90 degrees, but also causes the boss music to become muted until Kirby recovers from the blow and the camera rights itself again.

Variable Mix / int_c35ec21c	comment	Super Mario Odyssey uses this feature quite a bit, mostly for when Mario is Capturing something. Capturing a frog in Top Hat Tower will add a GÃ¼iro to the music, capturing Madame Broode's pet Chain Chomp will add rhythmic barking, capturing and moving along a power line will add a saw wave arpeggio (or koto arpeggio in Bowser's Kingdom), extending or contracting as a Tropical Wiggler will play an accordion chord that matches the music, capturing a Banzai Bill will add a harsh electronic melody, and so on. Interestingly, if you use the in-game music player to change the background music, most (but not all) of these will change to match it! During the Robo Brood battle, an ominous orchestral number will play in the background, but while the boss is vulnerable, it switches to a traditional Japanese arrangement of the piece. The music alterations are also used for other bosses, such as Torkdrift. Whenever you enter an 8-bit pipe, the background music will change to a chiptune arrangement (unless you're at the New Donk City festival or using the in-game Music Player).

Variable Mix / int_c6e9c6cc	comment	Super Mario Galaxy: Happens in the boss battles against Bowser whenever he becomes open to attacks. The song is normal until you get Bowser to land on the lava; when that happens and he runs around with his tail ablaze, the Ominous Latin Chanting comes in. When you hit him and he is spinning on his shell, a flute is added in with the song and singing chorus until you hit him again, then the song returns back to normal until you do it again. Every time you activate a sling or launch star a harp will be added in tempo and harmony. If you activate a launch star, the harmony will be longer; if you use the sling stars, the harmony will be shorter. This occurs with every single song, even with the Rainbow Star (invincibility) and power-up songs (Fire Flower, Ice Flower, etc.) Any coins that pop up from bushes, etc. will be in tempo and harmony with the song. Occurs with the Star Ball levels. The less you move, the quieter the song gets and there is only one instrument playing, but, the faster you go, the faster the tempo gets and the more instruments that come in. Done in the Battlerock and Dreadnought Galaxies when the level switches from a quiet, calm section to an action filled section with cannons and Bullet Bills, with the music getting more epic or just quiet accordingly. The Beach Bowl and Sea Slide Galaxies work similarly, with the loud brass and high flute switching out for steel drums and other luau-ish instrumentation when you dive underwater. Same case with Buoy Base: above water, it's Symphony Orchestra, below water it's synthesiser and organ. The question-mark color-changing platform puzzles deal out a tone every time you step on a separate platform. Each tone is in tandem with whatever chord is currently being used in the melody of the stage.

Each time you visited it, each level you'd completed would play a section of a tune; completing every level would complete the tune, the Song of Rebirth. In addition, each level had six characters to rescue, who formed members of the band that played the tune; if you didn't collect all six characters in a level, their portion of the tune would have correspondingly fewer instruments. Also, the music playing on the level changes slightly depending on where you are (outer and inner areas) and what is going on (particularly easy to notice in Temple of the Sun, due to constantly triggering magic-induced twilight in the outer areas).

A Multi-Mook Melee level also has the music get faster the more ghosts there are that remain uncaptured. A more subtle example is in E.

Each track has (at least) an intense version that plays while you are fighting enemies, and a less energetic version (often a solo bass guitar) that smoothly transitions in once the room is cleared. And after defeating (mini-)bosses, the track is smoothly brought to a conclusion at the start of the next measure, at which point a new track can start when you enter the next area. In a similar vein, a few NPCs are sometimes found singing. Their singing will cut out to allow them to speak, and then smoothly resume again when they are done with dialogue, all while the instrumental parts continue uninterrupted, creating the impression of a person who is just jamming while also having a real conversation with you.

Pikmin 2: The music for the Final Boss may be the most complex example on this list. The boss has four weapons that must be removed, and every time you take a weapon off, the music will gain some new element. That means five different versions of the main battle theme. Also, the music will briefly diverge to a different theme whenever a weapon is used, and every weapon has its own theme. In total, there's nine themes. There are variations on the background music depending on which captain you're currently in control of; Olimar's versions are played on the beat, while Louie's (and, by extension, the President's) versions are swung with a jazz-like syncopated rhythm. When you clear a level of its treasures, the Pikmin following you also occasionally sing along with the music. Pikmin 4 continues the series trend of the music shifting when near an enemy, with the change that every enemy family has its own instrument and theme that is layered on the main track.

For each metronome returned, a portion of the level's background music was replaced with a choral melody. The final boss theme isn't a layered track like Planet Sonata, but it aims for this effect in spirit. It's timed so that the slow part lasts almost exactly as long as it takes to wear Kaiser's first phase down, the accelerando takes place during his first black hole attack, and the fast, frantic part goes into full swing when he Turns Red.

When something good or bad happened in the battle, like destroying an enemy or taking a friendly casualty, it would interject a "happy" or "sad" snippet of music into the stream. When the battle was over, the fast-paced battle music would change to something a little more spacey and ambient.

This results in the same track having multiple different variations that change flexibly based on the tide of battle, such as when a boss changes phases, performs certain attacks, or has its parts broken, or when the player is on the field and encounters different events like enemies or PSE Bursts.

Each levelâ€™s music is built procedurally from different musical building blocks, controlled by parameters in the game. The core set of each levelâ€™s musical building blocks are named with a gameplay state (â€œWâ€�alking, â€œPâ€�eril, â€œCâ€�ombat) and a section (â€œAâ€�,â€�Bâ€�,â€�Câ€�,â€¦). â€œWAâ€� can play into â€œWBâ€�, unless the game state changes to Peril, at which it may play into â€œPBâ€�. Additionally, each enemy type has its own theme, which is then overlaid on top of the core level music based on the proximity of enemies of that type. This gives the game a hugely interactive and dynamic soundtrack.

Most stages in the game have instrumentals of various hip hop songs as their BGM, which cuts out to one of a few slightly more intense, shorter loops whenever someone activates their ability to use a Blazin' move. If the successfully pull the move off, Ominous Latin Chanting or some other brief, suspenseful leitmotif plays in the background while the attack is being performed, and, if the Blazin' move is used when the opponent's health isn't in the danger zone and is able to continue fighting afterward, the normal music resumes and for about ten seconds afterward the lyrics of the song play before cutting back into a looping instrumental again. A lesser example occurs whenever you use a submission hold, with disk scratching and various generic sound effects thrown in.

Variable Mix / int_f3ae2950	comment	Keeping with the series' tradition, in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, music regularly gains and loses instruments and tempo depending on events within the game. Boss themes in particular often shift to different parts of the song to go along with the actions of the battle, usually ending in a full vocal performance. An example would be when either Sam or Raiden temporarily lose their blade during the desert boss fight between Raiden and Sam and later Raiden against Senator Armstrong, when that happens the song temporarily shifts to its instrumental variation and picks up the vocal lyrics once more when either Raiden or Sam reacquires their blade.

Variable Mix / int_f97683ef	comment	Hollow Knight loves this trope: Most of the regional themes add a heavier orchestral track in action-packed situations. The Queen's Gardens BGM has an especially epic battle variation heard when fighting the Traitor Lord and his flunkies, which unfortunately was left out of the official soundtrack album. The City of Tears BGM starts with an oboe melody and piano arpeggio harmony indoors, then adds a One-Woman Wail and church choir outdoors. Troupe Master Grimm's battle music gains a metal guitar riff when he Turns Red and unleashes his Pufferfish Bullet Hell attack. The main Final Boss theme, "Sealed Vessel", starts out appropriately epic for the first half of the battle, then transitions with a Scare Chord to violin-based Sad Battle Music, which gradually adds back the other instruments as HK's HP dwindles. This second movement plays out in the same manner during the Birthplace flashback and the Path of Pain.

Variable Mix / int_fd5d7b47	comment	Need for Speed: Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit. Each course has two music tracks: a rock and a techno track. The music changes in pace and intensity depending on several factors: each section of a track has several loops assigned to it and is affected by your grid position, speed and laps in the race (for example: being near the back at slower speeds uses a quieter portion while being, say, at the front at 100 mph on the final lap meant the music would be the most intense). There is even a special bit that plays when you crash (and sometimes that varies depending on location) as well as one when being chased (even that varies, the music is more intense the closer a cop is to you). This also applies to some tracks in Need for Speed II: Special Edition but doen't have the chase segments. Some tracks don't share this variable mix, such as "Hauling Ass" and "Headless Horse" for Norway's Proving Grounds (since it is a simple oval track so a variable mix would've been unnecessary). Need for Speed: Most Wanted does this only during the cop chases. There's a standard track for when a pursuit starts and when the player is in a neutral position, an intense percussion-only track if the player is about to be busted, and then three separate tracks if they are close to escaping; If the player is out of the cops' sight and is at either a standstill or driving at less than ~90 mph, then the music will be more calm yet suspenseful, while driving above ~90 mph would have an intense yet triumphic track play. Need for Speed: Carbon also applies this with the races themselves. This kind of music returns in Need for Speed Rivals when chasing or being chased, notably the music would calm down when you or your suspect is escaping or would become incredibly intense depending on the state of you and/or your target. This variable mix is overwritten when using custom playlists on console versions of the game.

Rough Landing in particular is awesome; it starts with a solo boy soprano and a few instruments, and later in the level, it builds up to the full choir and orchestra. Also, in the train mission, the music starts to pick up speed when you enter the station and approach the train, then goes to its undoubtedly epic full-speed Ominous Latin Chanting climax during Riding Out The Storm.

Variable Mix / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the main tracks of the stages Summit and Yoshi's Island constantly change in tone and tempo to match the current state of stage (Though the Summit music is a single audio track that's merely timed to match up with the stage's various events; if you're playing in Slow Brawl, for instance, you'll hear the audio desynch from the onscreen events). In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, several stages' soundtracks change depending on what's going on in the game (including a return of the Yoshi's Island one): The Paper Mario stage's music changes between a remix of the Grassland and Airship themes from Paper Mario: Sticker Star with Rogueport's theme from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door in between, depending on which form the stage is currently in. The 3D Land stage's music goes from the main theme of Super Mario 3D Land to the beach theme from the same game when it changes to beach form. When the stage is about to change back to grassland form, the music begins speeding up before going back to the first song. The stage's alternate music track does this as well, but like Summit's music, it's a single audio track that only matches up by coincidence. The Reset Bomb Fortress stage features a remix of Viridi's theme from Kid Icarus: Uprising. The music is timed to the transitions in the stage. It's worth noting that this is the only music track in the entire Super Smash Bros. series that halts when the game is paused, so the music doesn't desync from the events onscreen. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has New Donk City Hall, in which playing "Jump Up, Super Star!" or "Ground Theme (Band Performance)" will result in having Pauline and her band mates appear in floating platforms. Should anyone pass through them, they will start playing their instruments with Pauline initiating her singing if the fighters pass through her. When the platforms that take all the fighters reaches down to where the stage starts, All of the Band Mates that's playing are presented. Unique to this stage's music selection is a variant that included the Full Band Performance, which immediately has the band already performing, contradicting that every stage enables to play the track list rather than each stage having their own set of music, like in prior games.
