COMMON SENSE TIME! 
Today's Common Sense?
BIG BOSS, LITTLE BOSS, RIVAL, AND THE FUN TIMES!
A game tends to have multiple types of battles. There are the normal battles, boss battles, final battles, fun battles, and still others as well. Perhaps such a thing calls for different battle THEMES?
A theme for a normal battle, another theme for battles later in the game or in a special area.
A theme for a boss, a theme for a bigger boss, and a theme for your rival? Or is your rival using the "big boss" theme already?
And what about that serious series of battles that all share the same consecutive battle theme that doesn't stop?
Perhaps even the battle against the metal chickens with the goofy battle theme? Or the battle theme against the chocobo ripoffs you totally didn't take from Final Fantasy?
And as said in the last common sense, a theme for the final boss as well!
Although all of these are up to the ones making the game, many games have many different battle themes. Still others, like Xenosaga, only have one battle theme for boss battles and normal battles, save for a couple special moments of course.
What songs are you using for which battle? What's a big battle, and what's a small one? Will you change the battle theme for that special place or not?
Common sense says it should be on your mind, but the decision is up to you.
