Video game tunes that have a big drop

Robocop on Game Boy:

The first 35 seconds is a good intro and a nice build up to the complete change in style. That's one of my favorite bass lines in video games, especially when the beat gets the snare drum and the extra hi hat effects on and finally the "c64" style sounds kick in.


Battletoads in Battlemaniacs on SNES:

At first it gains some speed at 0:59 but the part starting at 1:20 is my favorite.

Final Fantasy IX - The final boss theme:

What a great bass line at 1:20!


And the greatest OPPOSITE of the type of a drop the OP asked for is in Rasputin on C64:

At first the tempo gets faster and faster and faster and faster, which is really cool too, but the highlight of the song to me is around 4:11 when the tempo suddenly drops and the song gets really somber with all the sad melodies going on.



Oh yeah, this is great!
My favorite part is at 1:32 when the double bass kicks in and the song goes pretty much into thrash metal territory. The bass lines there are great! It kinda reminds me of The Battle of Olympus on NES (the boss battles).
