Editing Music (SSBM)

The songs used in the Melee OST are written/arranged/sequenced by the collective of composers henceforth known as "Orchestra Melee".

[https://supersmashbros.fandom.com/wiki/Smashing...Live! While there is an official live-orchestra version of a select few songs from this game,] The orchestral music in-game is made using two sound libraries called [https://www.discogs.com/Peter-Siedlaczeks-Advanced-Orchestra-Vol-1-Vol-5/release/13278718 Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra] and Quantum Leap Brass, while the contemporary songs used Roland Sound Canvas (among other sound libraries). The Opening, Great Bay, Pokemon Stadium, the Adventure Mode Intro and Game-Over music as well as the Winning Fanfares for all characters, save for Captain Falcon and Game & Watch, is the only music with a live, non-sequenced orchestra. The tracks as they are presented in the game's [[Sound Test]] are listed and described here. Almost all of the game's music can be heard in the game's Sound Test feature, and they are given their "official titles" there.

This track is a reprise of the {{s|mariowiki|DK Rap}} from ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}'' with a more varied backing track, as well as a new vocalist, James W. Norwood Jr.

*While the lyrics to this track are otherwise the same as its original version, this re-performance of the DK Rap alters the line "But this Kong's one ''hell'' of a guy" (the last line of the fifth verse, which refers to {{s|mariowiki|Chunky Kong}}) into "But this Kong's one ''heck'' of a guy", to avoid potential offense.

The [[Sound Test]] features 80 entries <!--00-79--> in its music list (if counting short pieces including victory themes), but this is not the full selection of music in the game. However, many might identify the ''Giga Bowser'' battle music as the 81st track (for a total of 81 songs). In addition to the ''Giga Bowser'' battle music being not available in the Sound Test, several short unused pieces can be found in the [[debug sound test menu]].<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Melee/Unused_Audio Super Smash Bros.
