Brutal: Paws of Fury - A rare triple example: the Genesis, Sega CD, and SNES versions all have unique soundtracks. Which one of these is the PC version like?

Bomb Jack - Mark Cooksey's C64 soundtrack tosses out the arcade music in favor of an unauthorized, uncredited adaptation of part of Jean-Michel Jarre's "Magnetic Fields".

Surprised this hadn't yet come up, especially since Doom was already mentioned:
Quake and Quake II (N64) - Like with the PS1 port of Doom, these console ports of Quake had entirely new soundtracks done by Aubrey Hodges
Quake III Arena (Dreamcast) - An entirely different soundtrack, handled by Aubrey Hodges and guitarist Dale Stump

San Francisco Rush 2049 - The N64 soundtrack, composed by Barry Leitch, is completely different from the arcade version.

By chance I found the Wiki page of the Bishojo Senshi Sailor Moon side-scrolling beat-em-up for SNES and Genesis, and it states that the versions have completely different soundtracks besides the theme tune on the title screen.

Gauntlet Legends has slightly different music for the Desecrated Temple stage if you're playing the N64 version.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time - As with TMNT Arcade in TMNT2: Battle Nexus, the unlockable Turtles in Time game in TMNT3: Mutant Nightmare replaces the music entirely with new tracks. Turtles in Time Re Shelled change the entire sound track again expect it had a remake new version of Pizza Power on Title Screen but did not use any of rest of oroginal music yet early trailers of the game had the Arcade Original Music. This version was based off the Arcade version and did not have the SNES Extras also.

Jet Set Radio (DC) The US version Jet "Grind" Radio adds a bunch of licensed tracks. Though, the metal-flavored tracks from the likes of Rob Zombie feel a bit out of place.
Ninja Warriors Once Again (Switch, PS4)
Not a regional difference, but the game itself features two different soundtracks to choose from: A remastered version of the SNES music and the original Arcade OST.
edit:
Batman Returns (Sega 16 Bit)
The Mega CD version sounds drastically different and vastly superior compared to the Mega Drive version.

I'm pretty sure the SNES and NES versions of Battletoads and Double Dragon have different soundtracks. At least some of the songs. Both versions are good but the SNES version is low key one of the best OSTs on the SNES.
Not sure which versions the Genesis and Gameboy soundtracks are based on.

The SNES version of B&DD sounded way better than the Genesis one, but I hated how for some reason, Rare felt the other music cues (boss battle, stage clear for example) were unnecessary. Oddly, the character select track was composed, but was never used.

Resident Evil (1996) -The Director's Cut Dual Shock version (but not the regular director's cut) features a completely new soundtrack purportedly by deaf composer Mamoru Samuragochi, but who admitted in 2014 that he could not write music, was not actually deaf, and that his orchestrator Takashi Niigaki had ghostwritten the entire soundtrack.

I thought there was speculation that Samurogochi did write some / most of that RE soundtrack, and that's why it was apparently so bad? It's possible that new info came out after that I haven't seen, but in the articles that came out at the time he never said he couldn't write music at all, he just said he used the ghostwriter for "most of his work" (and that he had largely exaggerated his hearing problem and wasn't really legally deaf).
