Rhyme star

This article is for the musical theme "Rhyme star" and its subsequent update.

Throughout the Dead or Alive series, "Rhyme star" has been used as a theme for Zack.

Arcade version

The original "Rhyme star" theme first appeared in the original arcade version of Dead or Alive 2 as the theme for Zack's ending.

Console version

"Rhyme star" was later updated for the home console releases of Dead or Alive 2. Appearing in also the DOA2: Hardcore games and Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate, the theme was once again used as the theme for Zack's ending.

It is this version of the theme that has been used again throughout the series rather than the original arcade version.
