This song is a medley of three tracks from ''Metroid''. It encompasses the background music of Brinstar, as well as the the ''Game Start'' soundbyte that has been used throughout the ''Metroid'' series. It finishes off with the title screen theme from the original game, which has also been used throughout the series.
This song is a medley of three tracks from ''Metroid''. It encompasses the background music of Brinstar, as well as the "Samus Appears" soundbyte that has been used throughout the ''Metroid'' series. It finishes off with the "Title Theme" from the original game, which has also been used throughout the series. The overall style of the track is synthesized rock with a prominent bassline, though it takes a more atmospheric tone during the "Samus Appears" and "Title Theme" segments. As was the case in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this remix has been abridged in order for the entire loop to be under two minutes; specifically, the reprise of the Brinstar theme and the bridge section before the loop have been cut.

This track is a rock style remix of the music that plays in the Brinstar area of ''Metroid''.
This track is a hard-rock style remix of the music that plays in the Brinstar area of ''Metroid''. It is very similar to a previous remix found in ''Metroid Prime: Pinball'', though with the addition of narration and a chiptune segment ending with the Famicom Disk System Loading Sound. The narration at the beginning says, "Samus is under fire! She sends an emergency directive: Join the fight!". This theme was rearranged by Kenji Yamamoto, composer for various titles of the ''Metroid'' franchise.

This track is a remix of the music that plays during the escape sequence towards the end of the original ''Metroid'', as well as the Brinstar theme. It begins in a familiar chiptune style, before gradually introducing an orchestra and guitar riffs. This arrangement is based on the original, shortened Famicom Disk System version of the song, rather than its NES iteration which added some additional music not present in the original Japanese release.

This track is a new remix of the battle theme of Ridley and Draygon from ''Super Metroid''. It also features a snippet from the opening theme.
This track is a new remix of the battle theme of Ridley, Draygon, and the Torizos from ''Super Metroid'' named "Big Boss Showdown BGM (Ridley, Draygon)" in the game's soundtrack. Alternatively, a variation of the theme is also played during the countdown sequences while escaping both the Ceres Space Colony and Planet Zebes, changing the percussion for an alarm sound named "Escape" in the game's soundtrack. Since its debut, it has been remixed in subsequent games, working as Ridley's battle theme or as the escape theme. The arrangement is done in a heavy metal style with synth and orchestral backing. It also features a snippet of "Theme of Super Metroid", which plays in ''Super Metroid''{{'}}s prologue and is a recurring leitmotif of the series.

This track is an arrangement of two music pieces featured in ''Metroid Prime''. The first song plays on the title screen (by itself based on the "Title Theme" from ''Metroid''), while the second track is a slightly remixed version of the credits theme (the menu theme itself being a short version of this theme). It also includes narration, which is based upon an unused monologue found in the files of ''Metroid Prime'' itself. This song was rearranged by its original composer, Kenji Yamamoto. The narration at the beginning says, "In the reaches of space, below the surface of Planet Zebes, Samus Aran faced the Space Pirates. She destroyed their operation, wiped out the parasites called Metroids, and defeated Mother Brain. But the pirates were far from finished..."

Link [3]

Origin[edit]

This song is a medley of three tracks from Metroid. It encompasses the background music of Brinstar, as well as the "Samus Appears" soundbyte that has been used throughout the Metroid series. It finishes off with the "Title Theme" from the original game, which has also been used throughout the series. The overall style of the track is synthesized rock with a prominent bassline, though it takes a more atmospheric tone during the "Samus Appears" and "Title Theme" segments. As was the case in Super Smash Bros. 4, this remix has been abridged in order for the entire loop to be under two minutes; specifically, the reprise of the Brinstar theme and the bridge section before the loop have been cut.

Trivia[edit]

Origin[edit]

This track is a new remix of the battle theme of Ridley, Draygon, and the Torizos from Super Metroid named "Big Boss Showdown BGM (Ridley, Draygon)" in the game's soundtrack. Alternatively, a variation of the theme is also played during the countdown sequences while escaping both the Ceres Space Colony and Planet Zebes, changing the percussion for an alarm sound named "Escape" in the game's soundtrack. Since its debut, it has been remixed in subsequent games, working as Ridley's battle theme or as the escape theme. The arrangement is done in a heavy metal style with synth and orchestral backing. It also features a snippet of "Theme of Super Metroid", which plays in Super Metroid's prologue and is a recurring leitmotif of the series.

This track is an arrangement of two music pieces featured in Metroid Prime. The first song plays on the title screen (by itself based on the "Title Theme" from Metroid), while the second track is a slightly remixed version of the credits theme (the menu theme itself being a short version of this theme). It also includes narration, which is based upon an unused monologue found in the files of Metroid Prime itself. This song was rearranged by its original composer, Kenji Yamamoto. The narration at the beginning says, "In the reaches of space, below the surface of Planet Zebes, Samus Aran faced the Space Pirates. She destroyed their operation, wiped out the parasites called Metroids, and defeated Mother Brain. But the pirates were far from finished..."
