Music (SSB)
The music of Super Smash Bros. comprises one remixed track for each VS Mode stage as well as several original compositions. Hirokazu Ando, an employee of HAL Laboratory, arranged all the remixes in SSB and composed the game's original music. All of the music except the Character Select theme can be played in the Sound Test. Song titles are not listed in-game; these are derived from Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers OST where available.
