VS. Nightmare

Metroid Prime & Fusion Original Soundtracks is a music theme from Metroid Fusion. It was composed by Minako Hamano and Akira Fujiwara.
==Description==
As its name indicates, VS. Nightmare is played during the boss fight against Nightmare in the electronic junkyard located in Sector 5 (ARC). It is unique to this specific boss battle and has never been heard again in Fusion or any other Metroid game.
Contrary to what one might expect from a boss theme for a nightmarish monster, VS. Nightmare is quiet and subtle, building up an unsettling creepiness rather than trying to actively scare the listener. It consists of a repeating rising sequence of bass notes; a long glissando that rises in pitch; two piano notes; and a series of high-pitched notes similar to those heard in Sector 5 (ARC) Low-Temperature Zone Area. This phrase repeats numerous times throughout the song, played in varying keys to give the song some progression. It can be heard here: 
==Trivia==
*Although Nightmare has two more boss fights in Metroid: Other M, neither battle features its titular theme. It shares its first theme with Goyagma and its second theme with Brug Mass, Fune, and Namihe. In contrast with the subtle VS. Nightmare, both of these themes go for a more cinematic style of overtly-intense horror music.
