(Added some credits to Hirokazu Ando from the composer credits in the Melee Orchestra, specifically from the "Original Medley" as the only other composer credit is Jun Ishikawa, who wasn't involved in Melee which means the only thing he could've composed is All-Star Intro, as that's a remix of the rest area from Kirby Super Star, which is confirmed to be a Jun Ishikawa compositon.) |

Revision as of 20:15, December 8, 2023
Masahiro Sakurai at a gathering of many musicians whose arrangements were featured in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The following is a list of composers who have composed, arranged, and remixed music for the Super Smash Bros. series. This list does not include composers of tracks taken directly from other sources.
Trivia
- For unspecified reasons, Asuka Ito was never credited on the Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U official website's composers list.
- Grant Kirkhope and Toby Fox are the only non-Japanese composers to arrange music for the Super Smash Bros. series.
- Incidentally, both composers remixed songs they originally composed.
- Also incidentally, both songs in question were added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in the same update.
- A total of 108 composers have remixed and/or arranged original music for the Super Smash Bros. series.
- Brawl has the most amount of new composers with 38, while 64 has the least amount of them with one sole composer (Hirokazu Ando).
- Ando also has the most music credits in the series, having done 56 music pieces counting arrangements and Smash-specific compositions.
- Ando is also the only composer to have his work appear in every game in the series.
- Ando and Shogo Sakai are tied for the highest number of new music tracks in Melee, at 14.
- Sakai would also contribute more to Brawl than any other composer, with 21 compositions.
- Junichi Nakatsuru would contribute the most to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, with 9 tracks between both games.
- Nobuko Toda would contribute the most compositions to Ultimate, arranging 9 songs for the game.
- There are 458 remixes (including different versions) in the Smash series.
- There are 141 original music pieces in the series.

His face grew stern, he said, “well, then,” and it was decided that Mr. Sakai would compose that song.”

So I wanted it to feel refreshing, like something already familiar to them, like they were watching the game’s’ stages from afar. Sakai: And that “refreshing” feel is exactly where I began to go wrong. Did that mean a cheery spring-like tune? I had no idea what I should do.”
