Haha nice, The fight with Seymour is pretty cool. :-)

If anyone is willing to bring them in, there's a lot of music to be taken from the DKCs and some of the older Mario games, Terranigma (my favourite songs of all time come from my favourite game of all time, how appropriate! ;) ), Chrono Trigger, some of the older Final Fantasies, Donald Duck Maui Mallard, Secret of Evermore, FF X, Earthbound, SM 64, LoZ: OoA and OoS, LoZ: aLttP, Yoshi's island (think mini-boss battle, story box and final battle, among others), a bunch from kirby, all of the pokemon series (good tracks to be found in different places, violet city anyone?), Secret of Mana and a few from Metroid.

I should know, i'm the authority on music 'round here...

...

... J/ks. I did put up a lot of music on the old thread though, if that qualifies for anything. :p

Laughing time is over, so get started.... mwahahaha!

But in all seriousness if anyone's willing to look in to those i'd be truly grateful. I'll getcha started with a couple tracks:

Pokemon Gold/Silver: Violet city

Pokemon red/blue: Gym leader battle!

Others from pokemon can be found easily. Terranigma is harder but look a bit and you shall find. Some of the remastered themes are incredible, literally. This is an okay tune for me in the game but this version almost puts it at the top of my favourite VGM's of all time:

Terranigma: Sadness (Remastered)

Still, my favourite VGM of all time is probably the original track... and it's this.

Terranigma: A hero's final day

By the by, for any of you who haven't played it, terranigma is a stunning game. It's graphics are similar to that of Chrono Trigger's (it was a SNES game so actually pretty good graphics for it's time), it's storyline is absolutely amazing, it's gameplay solid and beautiful music to compliment. One of the few games I cried on because of how truly tragic it is. And yet... feelin' good.

Anyway, i'll leave that for you. Enjoy! :)

Each character should have their own unique victory theme.

Like Ganon having his theme (they made the zelda theme all fruity in Brawl, didnt fit ganon)

and maybe if they really dont have a unique theme, they could alter the style like what they did with Metaknight's theme.

actually, when facing Ganon to unlock him, the song "Hidden Mountain & Forest" played. His character roll theme (after finishing Classic or All-Star) was "Gerudo Valley". both of these themes fit him. The first sounds evil and the second, well... he's the Gerudo King after all.

also, Ganondorf's theme appared in the Song of Storms remix.

but I agree they could put his theme as a standalone music or one of his battle themes that usually include his theme (not in Ocarina of Time, but Wind Waker and Twilight Princess do it). but Ocarina's Ganondorf boss battle theme would do it nicely.

EDIT: I didn't notice it was about victory themes. My bad. That said, yes, I do agree with different variations of the same victory theme for different characters, like they did with Meta Knight.

in fact, this was planned in Brawl: there are empty music files for victory themes for all characters in Brawl. But for example, the file labelled Mario is used for all Mario characters, despite existing empty files for Luigi, Peach and Bowser. Same happens with Zelda series, only Link's is used, but there are files for Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf and Toon Link. in Kirby's case, Kirby's file is used for Kirby and Dedede, but Meta Knight's is used for MK himself. another curious aspect is for the Fire Emblem and EarthBound characters: the empty files are labeled Ike and Lucas, with Marth's and Ness's files being used for the aforementioned characters. Interesting facts, no?

I don't really like double posting, but there's more music I'd like to add to this... already quite big compendium of Nintendo music we all love... why, because this is absolute art and it's an absolute shame that more people don't recognize as such. if only they sold video game OSTs like in Japan...

Kid Icarus: Uprising - Lightning Chariot Base

Pokémon Black 2 / White 2 - Rival Battle

Pokémon Black / White - Victory Road - also appears in B2/W2.

is it just me or some of Nintendo's more recent games (this year and the last one) had really memorable soundtracks? I mean, we got gems like Zelda: Skyward Sword, Pokémon BW/B2W2 and Kid Icarus: Uprising...

yeah, if Team Galactic's theme was in Brawl, why not put Team Plasma's? they could remix it, combining both BW and B2W2 versions in one new arrangement. it'd be epic.

I recall suggesting a tune that would fit ganon. It was Twilight princess' hyrule castle. Starts off with a simple melody and gets more elaborate as you go along. I believe that was in the back-room, however.

Here are a couple of battle tracks from Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Overall, I'm enjoying the jazzy vibe from the songs. The second song sounds like a mix between the first two Paper Mario's.

Yay for HD-versions!! And I wholeheartedly agree: maybe not fitting to battle but like battles are necessary in this game so going to them will always feel like a blast with these kind of themes on.

I know it's there already, but I support the Skyward Sword soundtrack above all others. Simply godlike...

Also the Kid Icarus soundtrack is very, very good.

Hey! I've been snooping aroudn on @Sora_Sakurai's Twitter, and I discovered this:


I think this is as good an indication as any that orchestrated remixes are returning. Which is good, considering the more recent songs might just be ported over in their original form, since they're already rather high quality.

I presume that a decent portion of the songs from Brawl will be in the next game, along with a lot of original remixes.

But honestly though, some of the new songs don't even need a remix considering the majority of them would of been from more recent iterations of varies franchises out there.

if that's true, then we have very good news.

which composers will be in charge of the soundtrack? the same as KI:U, who also worked in Brawl? or maybe Sakurai will do the same as Brawl and hire a lot of composers...

considering what Brawl did with music, it would be a shame not doing the same thing for SSB4. I liked the whole idea behind the My Music feature.

Seeing that pic somehow fills me with soothing enlightment. Such a great news. I hope they can keep the music style as consistent as Melee did because I still love to go back to that one and it feels having a core theme behind it's composes.

Also *gasp*, I started to think how they'd arrange the orchestral themes from the last games with a similar style (Super Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Fire Emblems and so on). Maan, it makes me hype a bit now.

I can see what you mean with Melee having a consistent style, but one of the aspects that I liked in Brawl was precisely the variety of its huge soundtrack.

if they orchestrate like Super Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword and even Kid Icarus: Uprising... we're having on gem of a soundtrack.

Namco's sound team will likely handle this. but I'd like if Nintendo was involved as well.

I've got an healthy dose of Mario Golf music for ya. for a golf game, this series has epic music, which is no wonder once you know it's composed by Motoi Sakuraba (Tales series, Golden Sun series, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Smash Bros. Brawl).

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour - Shifting Sands (Tournament)
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour - Shifting Sands (Stroke Play) - one of my favorite VGM ever
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour - Skins Match - tell me if this isn't epic!
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour - Award Ceremony / Sudden Death
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour - Cheep Cheep Falls (Stroke Play)
Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour - Cheep Cheep Falls (Tournament)
Mario Golf: Advance Tour - Marion Course
Mario Golf: Advance Tour - Elf's Short Course

... and I think those are enough. But, you want to check out the rest of the soundtracks anyway.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Guardians Awakening

another music from Skyward Sword... this one plays in the Silent Realms when the Guardians spot you. this one is quite intense and I think it would fit in Smash Bros. well.

EDIT: wanted to put another song...

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - Credits

Zelda soundtracks are just epic.

all of the battle music from Golden Sun 2 is amazing. i think it would also be cool if the game had real instrument covers of classic nintendo songs in the soundtrack. lets be real, everyone loves listening to those youtube covers. well, the good ones anyway...
