Did you watch AL’s video? :P
I think my favorite use of letimotifs is His World. I’m not familiar with all of ‘06’s cutscene themes, but I love how you hear the theme in…
- Sonic’s song (duh)
- Sonic Appears, a cool and energetic version of it that introduces the character
- Result Screen, a mellow acoustic version as you take your breath
- The Time-Space Rift, mourning, as it starts when Sonic’s friends see his body (0:53) (it also has parts of Mephiles’ theme that play when they talk about the instable nature of the rift and that is cool)
- Solaris Phase 2, the thriumphant climax of the game
There are surely more examples, but these are the ones I find the more striking.
Also, maybe not a leitmotif in the strict sense of the world, but I love how Infinite’s dubstep sounds are heard in Zavok’s theme, Metal’s theme, Virtual Enemies and Virtual Reality, all places/bosses of his own creation. Strangely, though, his last boss theme has no dubstep, but is still a remix of his own theme, which I choose to interpret as Infinite having pretty much lost at this point.
And obviously, Supporting Me having a reference to Live and Learn :P
