    Overview

    In such games as those in the Mario, Sonic, and Street Fighter franchises, the tempo of the music goes up, seemingly to let players know that time is about to run out. It makes players aware of how much time is left without having to look at a timer. It can also be used to instil a sense of drama and suspense.
