The '''music''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' was composed and arranged by Hirokazu Ando, Shogo Sakai, Tadashi Ikegami, and Takuto Kitsuta. Among other sources, most of the orchestral music was sequenced using two sound libraries called Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra and Quantum Leap Brass, while other songs were sequenced using the Roland Sound Canvas.<ref>[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJBlHHDc65fhZmKUGLrDTLCm6rfUU83-kbuD8Y0zU0o/edit#gid=854550438 NEWER VGM Sound Sources - Google Sheets]</ref> A select few tracks are also recorded with a live orchestra referred to as "Orchestra Melee", who later performed the ''[[Smashing...Live!]]'' soundtrack suite.

|He-he-here we go
 
So they're finally here, performing for you
 
If you know the words, you can join in too
 
Put your hands together, if you want to clap
 
As we take you through this monkey rap
 
Huh
 
DK
 
Donkey Kong
 
He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well
 
He's finally back to kick some tail
 
His coconut gun can fire in spurts
 
If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt
 
He's bigger, faster, and stronger too
 
He's the first member of the DK crew
 
DK
 
Donkey Kong
 
DK
 
Donkey Kong is here
 
This Kong's got style, so listen up dudes
 
She can shrink in size, to suit her mood
 
She's quick and nimble when she needs to be
 
She can float through the air and climb up trees
 
If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong
 
With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong
 
DK
 
Donkey Kong
 
He has no style, he has no grace
 
Th-this Kong has a funny face
 
He can handstand when he needs to
 
And stretch his arms out, just for you
 
Inflate himself just like a balloon
 
This crazy Kong just digs this tune
 
DK DK
 
Donkey Kong
 
DK DK
 
Donkey Kong is here
 
He's back again and it's about time too
 
And this time he's in the mood
 
He can fly real high with his jetpack on
 
With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong
 
He'll make you smile when he plays his tune
 
But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you
 
DK
 
Donkey Kong
 
DK
 
Haha, Donkey Kong
 
DK
 
Donkey Kong
 
DK
 
Donkey Kong
 
Finally, he's here for you
 
He's the last member of the DK crew
 
This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny
 
Can make a Kremling cry out for mummy
 
Can pick up a boulder with relative ease
 
Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze
 
He may move slow, he can't jump high
 
But this Kong's one heck of a guy
 
C'mon Cranky, take it to the fridge
 
Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells
 
Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells
 
Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells
 
Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells
 
Aww yeah

==Victory themes==
{{Main|Victory theme}}
===Usage===
Like the previous installment, each character (aside from those in a multi-character series, e.g. {{uv|Mario|Super Mario Bros.}}, {{uv|The Legend of Zelda}}, {{uv|Pokémon}}, or {{uv|Fire Emblem}}) gets a unique flourish for when they win a match. Characters in the above mentioned series share their victory theme with the other characters in said series. These themes are named by the Sound Test as '''[Character]'s Victory''' (i.e. '''Samus's Victory'''). However, there are a few quirks in this naming convention:
*Series with multiple characters are instead titled '''[Series] Team Victory''' (i.e. '''Fire Emblem Team Victory''')
**Despite there being four characters from the ''[[Mario (universe)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, their victory theme is nonetheless entitled '''Mario's Victory'''.
*Some victory themes have their series or character's name shortened:
**Donkey Kong is abbreviated as "DK."
**The ''The Legend of Zelda'' series is shortened to simply "Zelda."
**Captain Falcon is abbreviated to "Capt. Falcon."
*The ''Pokémon'' characters' victory theme is not titled in either conventional manner, instead being called '''Pokémon Victory''', similar to the previous game's "Pokémon Wins." This implies this song as a generic theme for any Pokémon, rather than being tied to the concept of a series.

Latest revision as of 19:32, September 6, 2024

The music in Super Smash Bros. Melee was composed and arranged by Hirokazu Ando, Shogo Sakai, Tadashi Ikegami, and Takuto Kitsuta. Among other sources, most of the orchestral music was sequenced using two sound libraries called Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra and Quantum Leap Brass, while other songs were sequenced using the Roland Sound Canvas.[1] A select few tracks are also recorded with a live orchestra referred to as "Orchestra Melee", who later performed the Smashing...Live! soundtrack suite. The tracks as they are presented in the game's Sound Test are listed and described here. Almost all of the game's music can be heard in the game's Sound Test feature, and they are given their "official titles" there.

Track title Kongo Jungle

Debut game Donkey Kong 64
Arrangement debut Super Smash Bros. Melee
Stage of usage Kongo Jungle
Link [4]

Origin[edit]

This track is a reprise of the DK Rap from Donkey Kong 64 with a more varied backing track, as well as a new vocalist, James W. Norwood Jr..

Usage[edit]

This track plays on the Kongo Jungle stage. It also plays on Fourside during Event 25: Gargantuans. It also plays on Jungle Japes when fighting Team Donkey Kong in Classic Mode. It is one of Donkey Kong's Credits themes.

Composition & Arrangements[edit]

Vocals: James W. Norwood Jr.

Original Arranger: Hirokazu Ando

Original Composer: Grant Kirkhope

Japanese title: コンゴジャングル, Kongo Jungle

Trivia[edit]

  • While the lyrics to this track are mostly the same as its original version, this re-performance of the DK Rap alters three lines:
    • The first line of the fourth verse (which refers to Diddy Kong) has "it's" added to it.
    • The second line of the fifth verse (which refers to Chunky Kong) starts with "He's" instead of "It's".
    • The line "But this Kong's one hell of a guy" (the last line of Chunky's verse) is changed to "But this Kong's one heck of a guy".
  • As an additional change from the original, before looping back to Donkey Kong's verse, a spoken version of the intro can be heard.
  • This is the first track with vocals in the Super Smash Bros. series, and the only one to appear in Melee.
Lyrics
He-he-here we go

So they're finally here, performing for you

If you know the words, you can join in too

Put your hands together, if you want to clap

As we take you through this monkey rap

Huh

DK

Donkey Kong

He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well

He's finally back to kick some tail

His coconut gun can fire in spurts

If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt

He's bigger, faster, and stronger too

He's the first member of the DK crew

DK

Donkey Kong

DK

Donkey Kong is here

This Kong's got style, so listen up dudes

She can shrink in size, to suit her mood

She's quick and nimble when she needs to be

She can float through the air and climb up trees

If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong

With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong

DK

Donkey Kong

He has no style, he has no grace

Th-this Kong has a funny face

He can handstand when he needs to

And stretch his arms out, just for you

Inflate himself just like a balloon

This crazy Kong just digs this tune

DK DK

Donkey Kong

DK DK

Donkey Kong is here

He's back again and it's about time too

And this time he's in the mood

He can fly real high with his jetpack on

With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong

He'll make you smile when he plays his tune

But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you

DK

Donkey Kong

DK

Haha, Donkey Kong

DK

Donkey Kong

DK

Donkey Kong

Finally, he's here for you

He's the last member of the DK crew

This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny

Can make a Kremling cry out for mummy

Can pick up a boulder with relative ease

Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze

He may move slow, he can't jump high

But this Kong's one heck of a guy

C'mon Cranky, take it to the fridge

Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells

Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells

Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells

Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells

Aww yeah

Victory themes[edit]

Main article: Victory theme

Usage[edit]

Like the previous installment, each character (aside from those in a multi-character series, e.g. Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, or Fire Emblem) gets a unique flourish for when they win a match. Characters in the above mentioned series share their victory theme with the other characters in said series. These themes are named by the Sound Test as [Character]'s Victory (i.e. Samus's Victory). However, there are a few quirks in this naming convention:

  • Series with multiple characters are instead titled [Series] Team Victory (i.e. Fire Emblem Team Victory)
    • Despite there being four characters from the Super Mario Bros. series, their victory theme is nonetheless entitled Mario's Victory.
  • Some victory themes have their series or character's name shortened:
    • Donkey Kong is abbreviated as "DK."
    • The The Legend of Zelda series is shortened to simply "Zelda."
    • Captain Falcon is abbreviated to "Capt. Falcon."
  • The Pokémon characters' victory theme is not titled in either conventional manner, instead being called Pokémon Victory, similar to the previous game's "Pokémon Wins." This implies this song as a generic theme for any Pokémon, rather than being tied to the concept of a series.

Other music tracks[edit]

The Sound Test features 80 entries in its music list (if counting short pieces including victory themes), but this is not the full selection of music in the game. However, many might identify the Giga Bowser battle music as the 81st track (for a total of 81 songs). In addition to the Giga Bowser battle music being not available in the Sound Test, several short unused pieces can be found in the debug sound test menu.[4]

Unlocking Method[edit]

Alternate tracks can only be unlocked when the player has unlocked a certain number of characters (Tracks #30, #32, #34, #35, #36, and #37 are unlocked after all characters are unlocked, while tracks #31 and #33 are unlocked after Marth and Young Link are unlocked). Track #55 only plays when the Sound Test is unlocked.
