Foreword

The purpose of this F.A.Q is to gather every piece of information about the
soundtrack of Shadow of the Colossus and compile it into a single complete
guide. This is being done to answer several questions that new or experienced
players might have when playing the game and enjoying the soundtrack.

Please do understand that because this guide covers all the music spanning
beginning to end, it might contain minor and/or major spoilers. We suggest that
before reading this F.A.Q you complete the game and enjoy the amazing ending
that would, otherwise, be spoiled.

The PAL version of the game was used as reference for this guide.

Frequently Asked Questions [SC-FAQ]

#1 Question: What is an interchangable track?

   Answer: An interchangable track is a track which plays both as a battle
           theme and as a triumphant theme, depending on the Colossus battle.

#2 Question: How many themes does Colossus #13 have?

   Answer: Colossus #13 has three different themes; the extra one plays after
           you shoot its air sacks.
