Themusic inSuper Smash Bros. Melee was composed by Hirokazu Ando and Shogo Sakai, with music arrangements by Hirokazu Ando, Shogo Sakai, Tadashi Ikegami, and Takuto Kitsuta. Among other sources, most of the orchestral music was sequenced using two sound libraries called Peter Siedlaczek's Advanced Orchestra and Quantum Leap Brass, while other songs were sequenced using the Roland Sound Canvas.^[1] A select few tracks are also recorded with a live orchestra referred to as "Orchestra Melee", who later performed theSmashing...Live! soundtrack suite. The tracks as they are presented in the game'sSound Test are listed and described here. Almost all of the game's music can be heard in the game's Sound Test feature, and they are given their "official titles" there.

Victory themes[edit]

Usage[edit]

Like the previous installment, each character (aside from those in a multi-character series, e.g.Super Mario Bros.,The Legend of Zelda,Pokémon, orFire Emblem) gets a unique flourish for when they win a match. Characters in the above mentioned series share their victory theme with the other characters in said series. These themes are named by the Sound Test as[Character]'s Victory (i.e.Samus's Victory). However, there are a few quirks in this naming convention:

• Series with multiple characters are instead titled[Series] Team Victory (i.e.Fire Emblem Team Victory)
  • Despite there being five characters from theSuper Mario Bros. series, their victory theme is nonetheless entitledMario's Victory.
• Some victory themes have their series or character's name shortened:
  • Donkey Kong is abbreviated as "DK."
  • TheThe Legend of Zelda series is shortened to simply "Zelda."
  • Captain Falcon is abbreviated to "Capt. Falcon."
• ThePokémon characters' victory theme is not titled in either conventional manner, instead being calledPokémon Victory, similar to the previous game's "Pokémon Wins." This implies this song as a generic theme for any Pokémon, rather than being tied to the concept of a series.
