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. 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. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', 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''.

===Direct Translation===
The English translation is a localization, and as such takes many liberties with the original Latin language's verb tenses and strict verb meanings. A more direct translation that stays true to the original Latin follows:  
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:

==Trivia==
Listen to his report.<br>
*This is the first main theme in the series to have vocals.
Only the enemy rushes
saved his homeland.
Listen to his report.
Ran destroying whatever he touched.
Listen to his report.
Listen to his report.
Gives hope to all, to me, too.
A terror to all he gave me.
He
next to me.
He stayed with me.
Members of me
Once one of the brave
and old.
Fierce fighting pugnandoque
Brightness increases.
