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. | |||

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''. | |||

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 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, Joker, in Ultimate. In addition, Kazuya from the Tekken universe has no victory theme at all.
In Ultimate, several returning victory themes were shortened to be more consistent in length, either by increasing the tempo or abridging the melody.

Origin[edit]
A music piece based on the same melody as the Mario victory theme, but instead of a standard orchestral arrangement, the piece is played with slightly distorted electric guitars. It also resembles the level clear theme of Bowser's sidequests in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This flourish also makes Bowser the only character to change victory themes from Brawl to Smash 4.

The excerpt is also followed by the theme that plays when Link obtains certain items.
Brawl, SSB4, Ultimate Origin[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Zelda series got a new flourish, now a cover of the music that would play when Link obtained a Triforce Piece in The Legend of Zelda for the NES. This song is also the basis for the Ultimate flourish; however, the theme is rearranged to be significantly shorter.

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.

|---|---|
| Track title | Tekken Announcer |
| Universe | Tekken |
| Debut game | Tekken 7 |
| Characters accompanied | 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 Battles.
Origin[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
- In Brawl's code, there are unused victory themes for most of the roster, excluding Wolf, suggesting that characters were supposed to have their own victory theme independent of their series; this is only the case with 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 FIRST Championship.
- The Final Fantasy, Bayonetta, and 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.
- 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.
- Mario, Fire Emblem and 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 (Donkey Kong, Wario and 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.
- Persona and 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.
- 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 Lucina and 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 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 Fire Emblem character to never at one point use the standard series victory theme.
- 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 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.
