Main Theme (Metroid)
Origin
A rock-based remix of the most oftenly recurring piece of music in the Metroid franchise, first debuting in the Brinstar area of the NES game Metroid. This track is one of the few pieces in Brawl to feature vocals (in this instance by Jay Ward). These vocals are "Samus is under fire! She's sent an emergency directive: Join the fight!" Otherwise, the song is very similar to the track's incarnation in Metroid Prime Pinball on the Pirate Frigate table.
Composition & Arrangements
Arrangement Supervisor: Kenji Yamamoto, Narration: Jay Ward, Composer and Arranger: Nintendo
Other Uses
This track briefly plays before the fight with Ridley in The Research Facility (Part II) of the Subspace Emissary. When it plays here, the vocals are removed.

Opening/Menu (Metroid Prime)
Origin
This track is an arrangement of two music pieces featured in Metroid Prime. The first sub-track is the title screen theme with the second sub-track being the credits theme, which itself is an extended version of the title screen music. The title screen music is a direct port of the OST, with vocals by Jay Ward added on top (who this time says "In the reaches of space, below the surface of Planet Zebes, Samus Aran faced the Space Pirates. She destroyed their operation, wiped out the parasites called Metroids, and defeated Mother Brain. But the Pirates were far from finished", which is similar to a quote in the instruction booklet of Metroid Prime). The credits theme is slightly altered and remixed, however.
Composition & Arrangements
Arrangement Supervisor: Kenji Yamamoto, Narration: Jay Ward, Composer and Arranger: Nintendo.
Other Uses
This track plays in The Research Facility (Part I), and the Great Maze in The Subspace Emissary, albeit with the vocals removed.
Trivia
- Interestingly, much of the dialogue by Jay Ward originates from an unused speech in Metroid Prime. A young woman with a voice similar to Samus' explains the events of Metroid and the start of Prime's.
