Compilation of Shoot 'em up Boss Themes - Part 2
6This is a collection of some of my favorite boss and final boss themes from Shoot 'em up games. Often shortened to just Shmups, the genre of Shoot 'em ups has been around since the 1970's with Space Invaders, and since then has varied in many ways. Now, I've only included boss themes from games I consider to be Shmups in their entirety, not games that have one or two or even a few shmup-like segments (so no Kirby or Cuphead... although some consider Run & Gun a subgenre of Shoot 'em ups. I'm confused). Also, some of the games I consider Shmups might be a little contentious, but ultimately it's my video so HA!
