Editing Victory theme

In ''{{b|Metroid|game}}'' for the NES<!--This theme did not debut in Metroid II: The Return of Samus. The main melody can be heard in the NES game if listened to closely and is far more predominantly clear in the Famicom version-->, this flourish would originally play when [[Samus Aran]] obtained a new power-up or addition to her {{s|metroidwiki|Power Suit}}, as well as when Samus defeated [[Ridley]] or [[Kraid]]. In nearly every ''Metroid'' game since, a variation of this fanfare is used for acquiring major item upgrades.

The [https://youtube.com/watch?v=xDrzIIUbaTk version] in the E3 2018 demo was instead based upon the "Unknown Item" fanfare from ''Metroid: Zero Mission''.  

On the [[Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers OST]], this theme is titled '''Ness Wins'''. In the ''Melee'' Sound Test, this theme is titled '''Ness's Victory'''.

On the [[Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers OST]], this theme is titled '''C. Falcon Wins'''. In the ''Melee'' Sound Test, this theme is titled '''Capt. Falcon's Victory'''.

This victory theme is an electric guitar-based cover of the short track that would play when a character finished a race in ''{{s|fzerowiki|F-Zero X}}''. In ''Melee'', it appears to be performed by the same musicians as the [[Music (SSBM)#Mute City|Mute City theme]].

This flourish is an original tune created for ''Brawl'' which was also used in the Waluigi Pinball remix. However, it later became the basis for the {{s|mariowiki|Stonecarving City}} theme in ''{{s|mariowiki|Wario Land: Shake It!}}'', which was released after ''Brawl''.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.heypoorplayer.com/2017/03/17/tomoya-tomita-interview/ |title=An Interview with Game Composer Tomoya Tomita |accessdate=2019-03-29 |author=Tomoya Tomita (interviewed by Anthony Palone, translated by Masked Man) |date=2017-03-17 |publisher=Hey Poor Player |quote= '''In ''Super Smash Bros.

|debut=''{{iw|nookipedia|Doubutsu no Mori}}''

The jingle that plays before a new game starts in ''Duck Hunt''. It begins with the original chiptune rendition, then transitions to a remixed version for the rest of the theme. The ''Ultimate'' version is significantly sped up.

A rock-based remix of the Online victory jingle introduced in ''Splatoon''. The original cheering sounds are absent, and the song doesn't continuously loop like the original jingle.

A short flourish from the ''{{SSBUMusicLink|ARMS|ARMS Grand Prix Official Theme Song}}'', combined with the vocals from Ribbon Girl's stage ''{{SSBUMusicLink|ARMS|Ribbon Ring}}''. It also features a few drum notes from the victory theme of ''ARMS''.

A small excerpt of the main theme of ''Metal Gear Solid''. In the game, this excerpt is used twice: when [[Solid Snake]] is caught and the player receives a Game Over, and when VR Training is completed.

A remix of the victory theme heard in ''Final Fantasy VII'', which is itself a variant of the victory themes heard throughout the ''Final Fantasy'' series. It continuously plays, replacing the results theme, being the first victory theme to do so. In ''Smash 4'' only, if the player wins in a [[Tourney (SSB4-Wii U)|tournament]], a non-looped version of the theme will play. This version is based on a short scene during the Junon sequence of ''Final Fantasy VII'' where Cloud performs his victory pose as part of the parade rehearsal.

The ending of "{{SSBUMusicLink|Final Fantasy|Advent: One-Winged Angel}}", taken directly from ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children''. Afterwards, a droning note plays; it is unknown if it is from any source in particular, though it references the same droning sound that plays during the fiery cutscene from the Nibelheim Incident. Then, instead of the regular results theme, another droning note plays continuously, although its difficult to pick up on due to the sound of the flames.

A remix of the "Stage Clear" theme from the original ''Castlevania'', with the original chiptune audio in the background.

 

The August 8, 2018 [[Nintendo Direct]] features an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCQ6X0zdmuw&t=158s early version] of the track that lacks the electric guitar present in the final version.

|debut=''{{iw|wikipedia|Dragon Quest|video game}}'' (original song)<br>''{{iw|wikipedia|Theatrhythm Dragon Quest}}'' (direct source)

An arrangement of the ending phrase of "Overture", the main ''Dragon Quest'' theme. It is a slightly altered excerpt from the ''{{iw|wikipedia|Theatrhythm Dragon Quest}}'' version of "Overture X".

==Tekken Announcer==

|name=Tekken Announcer

In a series first, the ''Tekken'' series does not have a traditional victory theme. Instead, the announcer from ''Tekken 7'' (voiced by Josh Keller) is featured in Kazuya's victory screens, saying, "Kazuya Mishima wins," replacing the [[announcer]] lines by Xander Mobus with no music at all. This does not apply to [[Team Battle]]s.

The announcer used in Kazuya's victory screen is the announcer from ''Tekken 7''. Him saying "Kazuya Mishima" is recycled from ''Tekken 7''{{'}}s character select screen. However, "wins" seems to be either original to ''Ultimate'' or recycled from an unused take for ''Tekken'', as only he says "You win!" in ''Tekken 7''. The early ''Tekken'' announcers did say it similar to how it is said in ''Ultimate''.

|debut=''Kingdom Hearts''

An orchestrated rendition of "Hand in Hand", the second battle theme of [[khwiki:Traverse Town|Traverse Town]] from the original ''Kingdom Hearts''. It was confirmed in the ''[[Mr. Sakurai Presents#Battling with Sora|Battling with Sora]]'' presentation that the arrangement for the victory theme was handled by {{s|wikipedia|Yoko Shimomura}}, the song's original composer.

In every game except for ''Melee'', after the character's victory theme plays, the results theme will play out for the remainder of the time that the player is on the victory screen. ''Ultimate'' would notably be the first game to reuse the exact same results theme from its predecessor. The only characters that do not play the standard results theme are [[Cloud]], [[Joker]], and [[Sephiroth]], the former two instead playing their individual looping victory themes, and the latter simply having the sounds of flames.

*Bayonetta in ''Smash 4'' was the first victory theme to include vocals, and the only victory theme of such prior to ''Ultimate''. ''Ultimate'' would go on to add four more (Fire Emblem Awakening, Corrin, Min Min, and Sephiroth).

**Sephiroth's is the only one to feature the character's name in the vocals, as the chorus chanting his name from "One-Winged Angel" can be heard.

*{{SSBU|Chrom}} is the only character to have their victory theme changed in an update. The version 3.0.0 update of ''Ultimate'' changed his victory theme from the standard ''Fire Emblem'' victory theme (shared with [[Marth]], [[Roy]], and [[Ike]]) to the ''Awakening'' victory theme (shared with {{SSBU|Lucina}} and {{SSBU|Robin}}). It is unknown if him having the standard ''Fire Emblem'' theme at the game's launch was intentional or an error.

**This makes Joker the only character to have multiple possible victory themes in the same game (barring Chrom's aforementioned update situation).

*Cloud, Joker, and Sephiroth are the only characters with victory themes that loop.
