My first thread, exciting!
So credits music is something we're all very familiar with I'm sure. They're practically in every game! (I'll wait for the inevitable post to prove me wrong in more ways than one) But is there any credits music that really stuck with you? One that you thought was a fitting ending theme to a game you enjoyed (or maybe you didn't)? Share any credits track that you particularly liked!
For me, it has to be Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze:

Mainly for the jazz remix of the iconic Stickerbush Symphony from 3:00 onward, this track really really hit all the right notes for me, and I thought it was such a fantastic choice of a track to remix to end the game with. It's commonly referred to as David Wise's best track, so seeing him do a jazzy remix of his masterpiece is pretty exceptional. Combined with the fact that David Wise have been MIA for years until his return for Tropical Freeze (and Tengami, check the OST out!) it makes it all the more powerful. Seriously, I couldn't have picked a better track a DKC game with. On one hand though, it's a bit poignant as well, since god knows when we'll get another DKC game after this. Although I am hoping for another fucking Donkey Kong game from Retro, the series' future is looking really uncertain. The track might not be an ending for Tropical Freeze alone, but perhaps the series as well, which makes Stickerbush an even more perfect choice for this. On top of that, I think this is my favourite version of Stickerbush Symphony. I'm a sucker for saxophones.
...Though, one thing that really puts this track down is the fact that it cuts midway in the actual game. You only get to hear half of the Stickerbush Symphony segment when the credits actually roll. It took around 8 months till the full version was finally out. Though I like the rest of the track enough to still consider it my favourite.
