This theme is notable in its relatively short but fast-paced melody. It can either be counted as standard 4/4 or a faster 6/8.

The percussion forms a solid rolling baseline for the brass and strings to build a melody on top of, creating an air of urgency to the track that fits the fast-paced nature of the stages it features in. | |||
