Here is every battle theme from Budokai 1 from the HD Collection, in the order they appear in within the story mode (barring The Heat as it doesn't appear in the story mode, but is the theme for the World Tournament Stage, one of the three stages available when you start the game).

This came about out of curiousity as I wondered if there was any consistency with the battle themes used in the story mode and... Turns out, there is! I can't believe I never noticed the consistency. For example, Vegeta has his own battle theme, the Androids have their own theme, Nappa has his own battle theme, etc.. It's really cool.

I did the HD version since I was curious what music was used. There are some cool replacements, but others feel lacking. It seems they mainly used themes that could be naturally looped, which likely restricted their choices for music to use in battles.
