Origin
This track is a quaint, soft rock remix of Pollyanna (I Believe in You), from the 1989 Famicom (Japan-only) game MOTHER. The music piece first played on any overworld area while Ninten was outside and on his own. As soon as Ninten gains an ally to walk with, the music will change to Bein' Friends. The track also played in Ness's house in the 1995 SNES game EarthBound (following Buzz Buzz's death), known as MOTHER 2 in Japan, hence the name. The music later made one last appearance in the Japan-only 2006 Game Boy Advance game MOTHER 3, where it played in Porky's "Hall of Memories" (a small hallway containing numerous memorabilia from the events of EarthBound). There, it was remixed and renamed A Certain Someone's Memories.
This particular remix of Pollyanna appears to be based on the cover of it in the vocalized soundtrack, as seen here[37].
Usage
This track can play on the Onett stage.

Other music tracks
The sound room features 80 entries in its Music list (00-79), but this is not the full selection of music in the actual game.

Unlocking Method
Alternate tracks can only be unlocked when the player has unlocked 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.
Trivia
- Luigi's introduction in Adventure Mode features the music from Princess Peach's Castle in Super Smash Bros. The track, along with Giga Bowser's theme, cannot be played in the Sound Test.
