Energy Core (theme)



Not to be confused with the Energy Core room.

Energy Core is a theme in Metroid Prime that plays during room puzzles. These include lowering the toxic water in the room of the same name, obtaining the Energy Tank in Magmoor Workstation, manipulating the astronomical holographic projector in the Observatory, navigating the maze in the Central Dynamo and navigating the Spider Ball Tracks in the Geothermal Core. The theme stops playing after the puzzle has been completed. For its appearance in the Observatory, the theme is slightly altered. It is an upbeat track with a bass line and some techno beats. In the internal data, this theme is titled General Puzzle. A similar theme appears in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes with new instruments.

The general theme from Prime can be heard here, the Observatory variant here, and the theme from Echoes here.
