Dancing Mad ( theme ) Dancing Mad plays during the final battle of " Final Fantasy VI " . It was composed by Nobuo Uematsu and features a synthesized pipe organ as the leading instrument . The theme is divided into four separate " movements " , which play during the four separate tiers , or battles , against Kefka Palazzo . Interwoven with " Dancing Mad " are the opening theme " Omen " , during the first and last movements , as well as portions of " Catastrophe " in the first movement ; Kefka ' s theme , during the third and last movements ; and Kefka ' s unmistakable laugh , after the closing section of the last movement before it repeats itself . At nearly eighteen minutes in length in its original version ( with each movement played through twice ) , " Dancing Mad " is the longest track recorded as a boss theme in the series . Some later remixes shortened the overall length to approximately ten to twelve minutes long . Structure . The second movement features an organ cadenza , and has a baroque feel due to the fugal nature , which fits in with both the visual ideas in the three tiers in the final boss , but also the various allusions to renaissance and Gothic art throughout the game . It draws on a distinct similarity to " Preludes and Fugues " and more prominently " Messiah " , which is prominent due to Kefka ' s ascent to godhood , becoming a godlike figure himself . In addition , the second movement has beats that are similar to circus music . The first , second , and portions of the fourth stanzas also have synthesized vocalizations ( actual lyrical vocalizations in some renditions ) . In the leadup to the fourth tier , the music grows louder and more ominous , until a synthesized choir starts chanting " Kefka " twice as Kefka descends in god form to confront the party .
