"Champion of Destruction"[1] is a recurring musical theme in Super Paper Mario, where it serves as Count Bleck's leitmotif, and plays in many cutscenes involving him, specifically, in the cutscene following the Chaos Heart's explosion in the prologue, during Count Bleck's appearance in Chapter 6, and the cutscene following Count Bleck's defeat.

A frantic arrangement titled "Birth of the Chaos Heart" plays over the Chaos Heart's appearance in the prologue.
A calmer arrangement titled "Count Bleck's Plan" plays during the interlude cutscenes involving Count Bleck and his minions in Castle Bleck.
An arrangement titled "Closing Battle" plays while fighting Count Bleck.
