My Music: Difference between revisions

'''My Music''' ({{ja|オレ曲セレクト|Ore Kyoku Serekuto}}, ''My Music Select'') is an option in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', {{forwiiu}}, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' that allows the player to choose any music track for any stage and adjust the likeliness that track will randomly play on that stage when battled on.  

''Melee'' has a prototype version of My Music by holding the [[L button]] or [[R button]] on certain stages to play an alternate music track. Starting in ''Brawl'', this became a dedicated mode in the [[Options]] menu. Every stage now has a set amount of tracks that can randomly play during gameplay. Every track is exclusive to a single stage for the most part. Each track has a slider that decides the probability of any given track being selected. Pushing the slider to the left decreases the likelihood, and pushing the slider to the right increases the likelihood. Exiting the menu saves all adjustments that will then be reflected in gameplay. Contrary to its appearance, setting a track's slider to its far left does not render the chances of that particular track playing to none; rather, it makes the chances of that particular track playing exceedingly small. Several tracks can be unlocked for each stage, either through collecting [[CD]]s or completing certain [[challenges]]. [[Hanenbow]] is in a unique position in that it technically only has a single music track, in that it makes its own music with an ambient track as its backdrop, rendering My Music useless for this stage.

 

My Music returns in ''Ultimate'' and again functions largely the same, though it is now located in the [[Sound]] sub-menu in the Options menu accessible through the [[Dashboard]]. While some tracks can be unlocked by completing challenges, CDs have been removed and many tracks can be purchased in the [[shop]]. The reset option is now a large button at the bottom of the menu. New additions include three different sorting methods for the tracks: "Standard Sort" which is how the tracks were ordered by the developers, "By Year" which sorts all tracks by when they released in chronological order, although placing remixes where the original would be, and "By Selection Likelihood" which sorts the tracks by the player's personal adjustments in order form most to least likely. ''Ultimate'' also allows the ability to choose which song will play for a particular match. My Music no longer restricts songs to stages, and now includes any song that belongs to any stage that originates from the same [[universe]]. This greatly increases the list of songs that can possibly play on most stages, which allows players to further tune the likelihood of any song playing. For example, all {{uv|Zelda}} stages share the same track list which can then be adjusted individually to the player's preference. That being said, the standard sort of each track list is not always the same, as some will prioritize different tracks for aesthetic reasons. New to ''Ultimate'' is the "Other" category which includes all tracks not belonging to a major universe and thus can be played on any stage in the same situation. This means Hanenbow now has multiple tracks to choose from, but it also means [[Flat Zone X]] only has two tracks. As of version 8.1.0, all ''Super Smash Bros.'' stages now have the ability to play any track from any universe. However, only the tracks on the menu before the update could be directly adjusted with every other track being truly randomized. This was changed in update 10.1.0, where pressing the [[X button]] will swap between only allowing ''Super Smash Bros.'' tracks and randomly selecting from all tracks. Like ''For Wii U'' before it, DLC stages got a dedicated My Music menu for the corresponding DLC music tracks, though they would also include tracks from their universe included in the base game and vice versa. Midgar only had two tracks before more {{uv|Final Fantasy}} music was added in version 10.0.0.

*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the default My Music settings generally prioritize two specific music pieces (similar to the alternate music in ''Melee'' and ''for 3DS''), then list the remaining music in the order listed in [[Sounds]]. There are, however, exceptions that raise certain pieces higher to be selected more easily:

*Despite the intention to increase the number of possible tracks, the new My Music feature in ''Ultimate'' also removes several songs from preexisting My Music libraries. For example, the ''Mario'' tracks can no longer be played on stages such as [[Yoshi's Island (SSBM)|Yoshi's Island (Melee)]], [[Figure-8 Circuit]], [[75m]], [[PictoChat 2]], [[Mario Circuit]] and [[Flat Zone X]], while the tracks in the "Other" category can no longer be played on stages such as [[Figure-8 Circuit]], [[Mario Galaxy]], [[Lylat Cruise]], [[Wii Fit Studio]], [[Palutena's Temple]], [[Coliseum]], [[Gaur Plain]], and [[Boxing Ring]]..
