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 in ''Brawl'' several universes have received multiple unique victory fanfares in a single ''Smash'' entry, including ''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, {{SSBU|Joker}}, in ''Ultimate''.  In addition, {{SSBU|Kazuya}} from the {{uv|Tekken}} universe has no victory theme at all.<ref>https://youtu.be/e-eQJ8HCg4I?t=4447</ref>

In ''Ultimate'', several returning victory themes were shortened to be more consistent in length, either by increasing the tempo or abridging the melody.

In a series first, the ''Tekken'' series does not have a victory theme. Instead, the announcer from ''Tekken 7'' (voiced by Josh Keller) is featured in Kazuya's victory screens, saying, "Kazuya Mishima wins," replacing Xander Mobus's traditional lines.
