A '''Victory Theme''' is a familiar short melody, often remixed, that is played in conjunction with a character's '''[[Victory Pose|Victory Pose]]''' of the same franchise from the character. For instance, if the character [[Mario|Mario]] were to win the match, an orchestral remix of the familiar victory fanfare from Super Mario Brothers will play out. In addition, some characters share the same Victory Theme since they are also are from the same franchise, in this case being the [[Mario (universe)|Mario]] franchise. For example, [[Luigi|Luigi]], [[Peach|Princess Peach]] and [[Bowser|Bowser]] share the same Victory Theme as Mario. Thus, if one of these characters other than Mario were to win, the same Victory Theme will still play(*). The original Super Smash Bros, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl all have Victory Themes for each of the characters.
A '''victory theme''', sometimes referred to as a '''flourish''', or a '''fanfare''', is a short, recognizable melody that plays at the [[Results screen]] after a character wins a [[Vs. match]] or other similar events such as a [[Tourney]]. For instance, in the Results screen after [[Mario]] wins a match, an orchestral cover of the fanfare played at the end of each level in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' plays.


Characters from the same universe usually share victory themes, but starting with {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in ''Brawl'', several universes have received multiple unique victory fanfares in a single ''Smash'' entry. These include ''Mario'', ''Donkey Kong'', ''Metroid'', ''Kirby'', ''Fire Emblem'', ''Kid Icarus'', ''Xenoblade Chronicles'', ''Final Fantasy'', and ''Persona'', with the latter's three unique themes all being tied to a single character, {{SSBU|Joker}}, in ''Ultimate''.  In addition, {{SSBU|Kazuya}} from the {{uv|Tekken}} universe has no victory theme at all.
(*)''The notable exception with this rule is with the [[Kirby (universe)|Kirby]] franchise Victory Theme and [[Meta-Knight|Meta-Knight's]] Victory Theme, which is a Rock n' Roll rendition of the Kirby universe's Victory Theme.''


In ''Ultimate'', several returning victory themes were shortened to be more consistent in length, either by increasing the tempo or abridging the melody.

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.
 
Additionally, this victory theme is played after completing the [[Sephiroth Challenge]], minus the note and flame sounds.

|characters=[[Joker]]}}
===Origin===
Joker's primary victory theme is directly ported from the after-battle results screen from ''Persona 5''. This theme loops indefinitely and replaces the normal results screen music, similar to Cloud’s. When Joker wins a match in [[Mementos]] while music from ''Persona 3'' or ''Persona 4'' is playing, the victory music from the corresponding game is used instead. This is the second instance of victory themes being ported directly from other games, and the first instance of a character having more than one victory theme in the same game.
 
The themes are:
*''Persona 5'': Triumph
*''Persona 4'': Period
*''Persona 3'': After the Battle

==Tekken Announcer==
{{Infobox Music
|name=Tekken Announcer
|universe={{uv|Tekken}}
|debut=''Tekken 7''
|characters=[[Kazuya]]}}
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.
 
===Origin===
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''.

==Results Theme==
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.
 
===Origin===
While ''Smash 64'' and ''Brawl''{{'}}s results themes are original to those respective games, ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s variation is based on the music used on the [[character selection screen]] of ''Smash 64''.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Brawl]]''{{'}}s code, there are unused victory themes for most of the roster, excluding {{SSBB|Wolf}}, suggesting that characters were supposed to have their own victory theme independent of their series; this is only the case with {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} in the final game.
**This also includes Mewtwo and Roy, who were both cut from ''Brawl''.
*[[Sonic]], [[Bayonetta]], [[Joker]], [[Hero]], [[Steve]], and [[Sephiroth]] are the only characters whose victory themes are taken directly from other sources. However, aside from Sonic (in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'') and Steve, they each feature a few slight modifications from the original:
**In ''Ultimate'', Sonic's victory theme from ''Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)'' is sped up and slightly abridged at the end.
**While the individual parts of Bayonetta's victory theme are taken from her original games, the arrangement of them together is unique to ''Smash''.
**Joker's victory theme does not loop all the way to the beginning like it does in ''Persona 5'', instead looping the fourth verse over and over.
**The Hero's victory theme is a synthesized version of the original source.
**Sephiroth's slightly arranges the ending parts before the main fanfare. The droning note that plays afterwards is original.
***Coincidentally, all of these characters are third-party characters, and three of them, Sonic, Bayonetta, and Joker, are properties of [[Sega]].
*Of the victory themes in the ''Smash'' series, Sephiroth's victory theme is the only one to not originate from a video game; his is taken directly from the movie ''Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children''.
*As of ''[[Ultimate]]''{{'}}s release, [[Ness]] has had more different victory themes than any other character, receiving new ones in ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''Ultimate'', in addition to his original one from the first two games.
*In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', [[Captain Falcon]]'s and [[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s victory themes are the only ones that are not orchestral music.
*[[Rosalina]] & [[Luma]] are the first fighter with a distinct victory theme from their universe who are neither a villain nor an anti-hero. This distinction would later be shared with [[Lucina]], [[Chrom]], [[Robin]], [[Corrin]], [[Byleth]], [[Pyra]] and [[Mythra]] in ''Ultimate''.
*''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' are the only installments in the series where victory themes are not accessible in the [[Sound Test]].
*Various victory themes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' could be heard during the opening ceremony of the 2015 ''{{s|wikipedia|FIRST Championship}}''.
*The {{uv|Final Fantasy}}, {{uv|Bayonetta}}, and {{uv|Castlevania}} victory themes can be heard in Cloud, Sephiroth, Bayonetta, and [[Simon]] and [[Richter]]'s reveal trailers respectively. Similarly, the ''Metal Gear'' victory theme can be heard in the debut trailer for ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' after [[Snake]] is revealed.
**The ''Castlevania'' victory theme heard in Simon and Richter's trailer, however, lacked the electric guitar heard in the final version.
*{{SSBU|Ridley}} had a different victory theme in the E3 2018 demo of ''Ultimate''. It was also a sinister variation of the standard victory theme, but ended with a harp arpeggio resembling the Unknown Item jingle from ''Metroid: Zero Mission''. The reason for it being changed is unknown.
*As of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', [[Ganondorf]], [[King Dedede]], and [[Wolf]] are the only antagonists that do not possess distinct victory themes from their respective universes. <!--Despite Mewtwo's antagonistic role in the first Pokémon movie and its remake, it is debatable whether it counts as an antagonist, as it does not play an antagonist role in at least the main series games, so please do not add it without discussing first.-->
*{{uv|Mario}}, {{uv|Fire Emblem}} and {{uv|Persona}} are the only three universes to have more than two victory themes in a single game, with ''Fire Emblem'' having four and ''Mario'' and ''Persona'' having three each.
**However, if one were to count sub-universes ({{uv|Donkey Kong}}, {{uv|Wario}} and {{uv|Yoshi}}), then ''Mario'' would have the most victory themes across the ''Smash Bros.'' series, with a total of 7. This would also make the ''Mario'' universe the only one to have more than one victory theme in every single game.
*{{uv|Persona}} and {{uv|Final Fantasy}} are the only third-party universes with more than one victory theme.
*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).
**Bayonetta's is the only one with English vocals, as the word "forever" can be heard near the end.
**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.
*Joker is the first fighter to have his [[List of victory poses (SSBU)#Joker|victory poses]] and victory theme change depending on the stage; if the match was played on [[Mementos]], it will match the music and aesthetic of the stage.
**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.
*[[Bowser]] is the only character to have a victory theme change from ''Brawl'' to ''Smash 4''.
*Byleth is the only {{uv|Fire Emblem}} character to never at one point use the standard series victory theme.
*{{uv|Final Fantasy}} is the only series in which all of its fighters each have a unique victory theme.
**If Pyra and Mythra are counted as the same character, then the {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} series also falls under this distinction.
*Barring ported victory themes, Sora's victory theme is the only one with a known arrangement composer, that being Yoko Shimomura.
*The ''Pokémon'' victory theme represents the greatest amount of fighters, both throughout the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series and in a single game (''Ultimate''), at ten fighters, or eight if counting [[Pokémon Trainer]] as one fighter.
