A victory theme, sometimes referred to as a flourish, or a fanfare in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, 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, at 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 share victory themes, though there are several characters with distinct victory themes separate from their respective universes. Brawl introduced a distinct victory theme for Meta Knight. SSB4 introduced distinct victory themes for Rosalina & Luma and Dark Pit and a shared distinct victory theme for Bowser and Bowser Jr.. Ultimate introduced distinct victory themes for King K. Rool and Corrin, a shared distinct victory theme for Ridley and Dark Samus, and another shared distinct victory theme for Robin and Lucina.

Super Mario Bros. Victory Theme

This flourish is a cover of the small sound clip that would play whenever Mario or Luigi grabbed a Flagpole in Super Mario Bros., a track that went on to become a recurring theme. In Ultimate, the tempo is slightly faster and the ending is slightly abridged.

Origin

A music piece based on the same melody as the Mario victory theme, but instead of a standard orchestral arrangement, the piece is played with slightly distorted electric guitars. It also sounds similar to the level clear theme of Bowser's sidequests in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This flourish also makes Bowser the only character to change victory themes from Brawl to Smash 4.
