Music Speed Up
CONCEPT
Music speeds up as the time runs out or a particular part of the game gets harder. Found in Street Fighter, Mario games, Sonic games, etc.


Overview

In such games as those in the Mario (Franchise), Sonic, and Street Fighter (Franchise) 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.
