Alternate music

This article or section is incomplete. You can help SmashWiki by expanding or finishing it. The editor who added this tag elaborates: No Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS songs are listed.

Not to be confused with My Music in Brawl.

Alternate music pieces are music tracks sometimes plays in particular stages in Super Smash Bros. Melee and in all stages in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. These tunes can be triggered by unlocking a certain stage or extra or holding down a certain button combination; they also can be triggered randomly.

Alternate music for normal stages

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Every time any one of these stages is loaded up in Vs. Mode or Training Mode, there is a 12.5% chance that the alternate music will play instead of the normal music. If L and R are held by all human players while the stage is loading, the alternate music will be forced to play. Battlefield and Final Destination stages have two separate songs from a Multi-Man mode as their alternate music. The rest of the alternate songs are from other games.

The alternate music for normal stages are:

• Icicle Mountain: Balloon Fight
• Great Bay: Saria's Song
• Temple: Fire Emblem
• Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Bros. 3
• Pokémon Stadium: Battle Theme
• Big Blue: Mach Rider
• Onett: Mother 2
• Mushroom Kingdom: Dr. Mario
• Mushroom Kingdom II: Dr. Mario
• Battlefield: Multi-Man Melee 1
• Final Destination: Multi-Man Melee 2

Super Smash Bros. 4

The alternate tracks for stages are:

• Battlefield: Menu (Super Smash Bros. Melee)
• Boxing Ring: Minor Circuit
• Dream Land: Green Greens Ver. 2
• Mute City: Mute City (Original)
• Green Hill Zone: Live & Learn
• Gaur Plain: You Will Know Our Names
• Prism Tower: Lumiose City
• Paper Mario: Try,Try Again
• Flat Zone 2: Flat Zone (Melee)
• Pac-Maze: Pac-Man's Park
• Wily Castle: Mega Man 2 Medley (Original)
• Magicant: Tears & Smiles
• PictoChat 2: Dr. Mario
• Arena Ferox: Fire Emblem (Melee)

Alternate music for Adventure Mode stages in Super Smash Bros. Melee

On the screen that shows what stage is coming next in Adventure Mode, alternate music will play on some stages if the player holds down L, R, and presses START, while keeping L and R pressed until the music starts. An alternate theme will play for some of the stages. This only works for the first stage in each area: for example, on the F-Zero Grand Prix, only the first level will have the special music, not the fight with Captain Falcon.

The following are stages that have alternate music in Adventure Mode:

• Mushroom Kingdom: Super Mario Bros. 3
• Underground Maze: Fire Emblem
• Brinstar: Brinstar Depths
• Green Greens: Fountain of Dreams
• Pokémon Stadium: Battle Theme
• F-Zero Grand Prix: Mach Rider
• Onett: Mother 2
• Icicle Mountain: Balloon Fight
• Battlefield: Multi-Man Melee 1

Also, certain stages will play music not heard on the stage in Vs. Mode when they are played on in Adventure Mode:

• Princess Peach's Castle: Rainbow Cruise
• Temple: Great Bay
• Green Greens: Dream Land N64 (during Giant Kirby battle)
• Corneria: Venom
• Final Destination: Giga Bowser (during the fight against Giga Bowser)

Like the normal stages, there is also a 12% chance of the alternate music playing automatically.

Alternate main menu music

Once the player has unlocked all stages and characters, then while unlocking the Sound Test feature, an alternate music can play on the Menus of the game; unlike music for stages, however, the player cannot force the song to play on the Menus.

Alternate music for Target Test

The music can also be changed for any characters' Target Test. By holding either L or R before the stage is being loaded (even when restarting via the Pause menu), the music that would play during the Credits sequence after beating Classic or All-Star Mode with that character. This excludes the Ice Climbers, where the Icicle Mountain theme would automatically play while the alternate music function is unavailable.
