| | The '''music of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''''' was done by a group credited as "Orchestra Melee". The tracks as they are presented in the game's [[Sound Test]] are listed and described here. See also '''[[Music (SSB)]]''' and '''[[Music (SSBB)]]'''. |
| The '''music''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' was composed and arranged by Hirokazu Ando, Shogo Sakai, Tadashi Ikegami, and Takuto Kitsuta. Among other sources, most of the orchestral music was sequenced using two sound libraries called Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra and Quantum Leap Brass, while other songs were sequenced using the Roland Sound Canvas.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJBlHHDc65fhZmKUGLrDTLCm6rfUU83-kbuD8Y0zU0o/edit#gid=854550438 NEWER VGM Sound Sources - Google Sheets]</ref> A select few tracks are also recorded with a live orchestra referred to as "Orchestra Melee", who later performed the ''[[Smashing...Live!]]'' soundtrack suite. 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. | |

| ===Trivia===
| |
| *While the lyrics to this track are mostly the same as its original version, this re-performance of the DK Rap alters three lines:
| |
| **The first line of the fourth verse (which refers to [[Diddy Kong]]) has "it's" added to it.
| |
| **The second line of the fifth verse (which refers to {{s|mariowiki|Chunky Kong}}) starts with "He's" instead of "It's".
| |
| **The line "But this Kong's one ''hell'' of a guy" (the last line of Chunky's verse) is changed to "But this Kong's one ''heck'' of a guy".
| |
| *As an additional change from the original, before looping back to Donkey Kong's verse, a spoken version of the intro can be heard.
| |
| *This is the first track with vocals in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, and the only one to appear in ''Melee''.

| 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. Melee/Unused Audio - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref> | | The sound room features 79 entries in its Music list, but this is not the full selection of music in the actual game. Many would identify the "Giga Bowser" music, a distorted techno remix of Final Destination, as the 80th track. In the Debug menu, one can find several unused short pieces as well. |
