[[File:SSB64SoundTest.png|thumb|The Sound Test in SSB selecting what type of music]]

The '''music''' of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' comprises one remixed track for each [[VS Mode]] [[stage]] as well as several original compositions. [[List of composers|Hirokazu Ando]] arranged all the remixes in ''SSB'' and composed the game's original music. All of the music except the Character Select theme can be played in the [[Sound Test]]. Song titles are not listed in-game; these are derived from ''[[Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers OST]]'' where available.

==Opening==

 

|link={{YouTube|TseLHTtUySU}}

The music is played during the [[opening movie]] for ''Super Smash Bros.'' It opens with a soft piece, similar to the games secondary main theme, getting significantly more lively as the characters are brought to life by Master Hand. 8 differently pitched stings play as the starter cast is presented, and it soon transitions into the main theme of the game, also heard in the credits. This half of the track would later be remixed and placed into other tracks composed in future games, such as {{SSBM|Final Destination}}'s music in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

 

==How to Play==

 

|link={{YouTube|6xX-tKixaxQ}}

==Menu Screen==

|name=Menu Screen

 

|link={{YouTube|FXmgJNxUQiQ}}

Plays on the main menu screen. It's a very abstract piece with clattering sounds, as if the game is being prepared. The subtle melody is often treated as the secondary main theme, and is referenced in the Final Destination theme of ''Melee''.

==Character Select==

 

|link={{YouTube|hPLtQwa09mY}}

Plays on the [[character selection screen]]. It would later be remixed as the Subspace map screen theme in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', as well as the results screen starting in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It is also included in a remix of this games credits theme.
