*In [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0118/kokaon.html an interview] on the original ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' website, Shogo Sakai stated that the arrangement was [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/flash/0118/shrin_botsu.wav originally going to sound more eerie and ominous], a choice that was inspired by the tone of the ''Dungeon Theme'' from the first ''Legend of Zelda'' game and ''Yotsuya Kaidan'', a famous Japanese ghost story.

===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.

- 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.

This track can play on the Mushroom Kingdom and Mushroom Kingdom II stages. It also plays on Princess Peach's Castle when unlocking Dr. Mario. It is Dr. Mario's Credits theme.

Victory themes[edit]
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.

Track #55 only plays when the Sound Test is unlocked.
Trivia[edit]
- Luigi's introduction in Adventure Mode features the music from Peach's Castle in the original Super Smash Bros. This track, along with Giga Bowser's theme, cannot be played in the Sound Test.
