These are the music tracks for the fortress stages and endgame content we do not consider spoilers by their very existence. You will also see out of context shots of these stages.

Music in this video done by Mike Crain. In-game it is called "Remastered", was created in Famitracker using the Sunsoft 5B and Namco n163 chips; and it is, to quote Mike:

"A total remake from the ground up of my original OST I made back
in 2011, all the while trying to respect the original
compositions as much as possible."
Plus new tracks for the expanded content.

Since its a remastering of the original OST, it sounds pretty different to a Capcom OST.

There is also a 2A03 version of the soundtrack which can be considered "closer to a Mega Man NES OST", and is a collaboration between multiple musicians, and is a combination of remixes from the original game and new tracks made at the musician's discretion.
That will be uploaded at a later date. There are still a few gaps in the OST that need filling first.

I personally don't have a favourite. I think Mike's OST sets the mood better in spots, but the 2A03 has a fair selection of great takes on the music and some of the original stuff is superb.
Kind of like Sonic CD for me, I might just swap between these two on alternative playthroughs.
There is also a SNES style version of the OST that follows the N163 pretty closely. It's pretty good, (the particularly atmospheric tracks really shine here) but I still prefer the N163 one over that version overall.
