Defined as the 'main' theme that's used in at least half of the games, not just a good theme in an individual game in the series.

I really like Castlevania's.

Prelude isn't the main theme.

Final Fantasy is the main theme.

And it's also probably the answer to this question.

Does that count? It's only been Kirby's Theme in Smash Bros.

What's the main theme of Bayonetta? Fly Me to the Moon or One of a Kind? Both are pretty great and technically have been in at least half the series. You May Call Me Father and Friend were both in the other half but aren't really that. Maybe One of a Kind was too.

I really dig the Uncharted theme

If you could call Vigil's theme the main Mass Effect trilogy theme, then I would go with that. Plays at the title menu and then at significant moments in 2 and 3. Although there's also that theme that plays right before the credits which I think is known as the "main" one?
Edit: yeah this one:

But I think that's only the theme for ME1. So yeah, Vigil's theme is my pick here.

I like Gourmet Race, don't get me wrong. Good track. I also can't see how it can possibly be considered the Kirby theme when it isn't in the first game of the series, which is also the best-selling game.

On-topic, I thought of Final Fantasy immediately, so let's go with that.

Im assuming Vampire Killer is what were counting as Castlevanias? I wonder if its actually been in 50% of the games or not. Probably just a little bit over half. I wouldnt be surprised if Bloody Tears is actually more frequent.

Fairly sure they've been in roughly the same.

It's certainly a pretty badass main theme. It was the first to come to my mind. It just feels like there's probably something out there that equals it.

I mean.... Vampire Killer is factually NOT the answer.

And its not because it's not good, it's the same reason Prelude isn't.

My instincts say Zelda, assuming we want anything long-running. If two or three games suffice, there are other options.

And Prelude is the theme to Final Fantasy. What are you suggesting it would be? Prologue?

Youve proven to me that it cant be Bloody Tears, but the main theme CAN be invented in later games.

Monster Hunter is the most consistent with its main theme, every version of it is really good. Just in a vacuum thinking about the best melody though, Green Greens or Final Fantasy, its a really tough call.
