The '''''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' Main Theme''' is, as the name implies, the main theme of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', playing in the opening movie and The Great Invasion cutscene. It was first heard alongside the reveal of ''Brawl'' itself in the game's first trailer at [[E3 2006]], before being posted on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] much later. The song was composed by {{uv|Final Fantasy}} series composer [[Nobuo Uematsu]], and its lyrics were supervised by {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series director [[Masahiro Sakurai]]. The translated lyrics are seen in the closing video of the [[Subspace Emissary]], just before the credits. The melody is used in many of ''Brawl's'' original songs, albeit usually without the lyrics.

While the original song does not return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', it returns as selectable menu music in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' (after clearing [[World of Light]]). Its various remixes from ''Brawl'' return as selectable music in ''for Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'' for the [[Mode|main menu]], [[Battlefield]], and [[Final Destination]]. The song is also incorporated into the [[credits]] medley in both versions of ''SSB4''.

==Lyrics==
<!--This is an exact reproduction of how the lyrics are spelled out in the end-game credits, complete with capitalization, punctuation, and line breaks.-->
<div style="font-style:italic">
Audi famam illius.<br/>
Solus in hostes ruit<br/>
et patriam servavit.<br/>

Audi famam illius.<br/>
Cucurrit quaeque tetigit destruens.<br/>

Audi famam illius.<br/>
Audi famam illius.<br/>

Spes omnibus, mihi quoque.<br/>
Terror omnibus, mihi quoque.<br/>

Ille<br/>
iuxta me.<br/>
Ille iuxta me.<br/>

Socii sunt mihi,<br/>
qui olim viri fortes<br/>
rivalesque erant.<br/>

Saeve certando pugnandoque<br/>
splendor crescit.
</div>

==Translated Lyrics==
The end credits of [[The Subspace Emissary]] feature localized translations of the lyrics, as follows:
<!--Again, an exact reproduction. Punctuation is not used here for some reason.-->

===English===
<div style="font-style:italic">
I've heard legends of that person<br/>
How he plunged into enemy territory<br/>
How he saved his homeland<br/>

I've heard legends of that person<br/>
How he traveled the breadth of the land, reducing all he touched to rubble<br/>

I've heard legends of that person<br/>
I've heard legends of that person<br/>

Revered by many--I too, revere him<br/>
Feared by many--I too, fear him<br/>

Now, that person<br/>
Stands at my side<br/>
Now that person stands at my side<br/>

Now my friends are with me<br/>
Some of them were once heroes<br/>
Some, my mortal enemies<br/>

And as we face each other in battle, locked in combat<br/>
We shine ever brighter
</div>

===Direct Translation===
The official English translation is not literal; the Latin verb tenses and strict verb meanings were localized to be more easily parsed in English. The following is a more direct translation of the original Latin lyrics: 
<div style="font-style:italic">
Hear the fame of that one<br/>
Alone he rushed into his enemies<br/>
and saved his country<br/>

Hear the fame of that one<br/>
He ran, destroying everything he touched<br/>

Hear the fame of that one<br/>
Hear the fame of that one<br/>

Hope to everyone, also to me<br/>
Fear to everyone, also to me<br/>

That one<br/>
is near to me<br/>
That one is near to me

They are allies to me<br/>
Those who were once strong men<br/>
and rivals<br/>

And by contesting and fighting fiercely<br/>
our splendor grows.
</div>

==Trivia==
*This is the first main theme in the series to have vocals.
