MP3 Title Music

MP3 Title Music is the theme that plays on the title, menu, and credits of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
==Description==
MP3 Title Music is a somber song consisting nearly entirely of a choir, highlighting the dramatic weight of the trilogy's finale. The theme is significantly extended in the credits, now opening with a dramatic version of the main Title theme, containing a narration discussing the victory against Phaaze, and then seguing a lighter, more celebratory piece of music. Kenji Yamamoto's use of levity after a heavy and dramatic score was directly inspired by Hirokazu Tanaka's Ending (Metroid).
A portion of the celebratory credits music is adapted into the melody of Metroid Prime Trilogy, a medley of the trilogy's title themes.
On September 23, 2010, WDR Radio Orchestra performed the Symphonic Legends concert in Cologne Philharmonic Hall in Germany. As an encore, they performed a medley of Nintendo ending themes, including MP3 Title Music. This arrangement was based upon the extended credits version and was sung by the State Choir of Latvia. For a unique twist on the theme, it was combined with a flute and violin performance of the credits theme from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
MP3 Title Music is one of two background themes that can play on the home page of the Special Mission online flash game, the other being SkyTown. It is included as a track on the Samus Archives Sound Selection CD included with the Special and Legacy Editions of Metroid: Samus Returns, titled Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. This CD includes the extended intro of the credits version, but does not include the lengthy celebratory section.

==Trivia==
*Corruption is the only game in the original trilogy where the menu/credits theme is the same as the title theme, although Hunters from Metroid Prime Hunters plays during both that game's opening and credits.
*The credits version of MP3 Title Music has never been released without narration, although a fan-made edit attempts to remove it.
