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.

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.

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.

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.
