The track first appeared with the subtitle "Cornered" in the first game (), and is composed by Masakazu Sugimori (who is also the composer for ). The piece appears whenever the protagonist manages to find decisive contradictions in witnesses' testimonies, exposing their lies in front of all and pressing them to tell the truth (hence the title of the track).

*: "Pursuit ~ Caught"
*: "Pursuit ~ Overtaken"
*: "Pursuit ~ Lying Coldly"
*: "Pursuit ~ Wanting to Find the Truth"
*: "Pursuit ~ Casting Magic"

*: "Pursuit ~ A Great Turnabout"
*: "Pursuit ~ Cornering Together"
*: "Great Pursuit ~ The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo"

The track first appeared in a rip not from the Ace Attorney series, namely "Theme of Phoenix Wright (Cornered) - Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3", a "corrupted" rip of the remix of the theme; it was followed three days later by "Pursuit ~ Cornered (Variation) - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney", a K.K. Slider remix of the song.
There are currently rips of "Pursuit ~ Cornered" on the channel: 8 from the first DS game, 2 from the original Japanese GBA game, and 1 from Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Phoenix Wright has also appeared as a character in "Unusual Circumstances - A SiIvaGunner Christmas Comeback Crisis Side Story", as well as during the King for Another Day Tournament as part of Law & Disorder.
