Wrath of the Reset Bomb

Wrath of the Reset Bomb
Track title	Wrath of the Reset Bomb
Universe	Kid Icarus
Debut game	Kid Icarus: Uprising
Arrangement debut	Super Smash Bros. 4
Availability	Default
Link	[10]

Origin

Wrath of the Reset Bomb is a dramatic orchestral suite of the piece of the same name from Kid Icarus: Uprising, which plays during chapter 12, "Wrath of the Reset Bomb", and serves as Viridi's character theme. This song was rearranged by its original composer, Yuzo Koshiro. The song begins exactly like the original, using the same first half heard at the start of the air battle segments of chapters 12 and 18, but after it finishes, it crescendos into a new second half that's not found in the original nor any of the other soundtracks in Uprising. When played on Reset Bomb Forest, the music syncs up with the narrative of the stage—reaching a crescendo when Viridi drops the Reset Bomb and looping to the start when the stage returns to normal—though unlike Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, it will become desynchronized if the game is paused or the gameplay speed is altered.

Trivia

• Kid Icarus has fewer tracks in Ultimate than in Super Smash Bros. 4, as two tracks featured in previous titles do not return:
  • Wrath of the Reset Bomb - Original version
  • Dark Pit - Original version
    • Both of these tracks only appeared in Smash Run previously.
• The Kid Icarus series is the only fighter-represented franchise to not gain any new remixes and cut songs from previous entries.
• Kid Icarus is one of the four non-DLC universes to not have its music be used in Spirit Battles outside of its universe, followed by EarthBound, Game & Watch, and Wario.
