Music (SSBB)


 * See also Music (SSB) and Music (SSBM).

The music of Super Smash Bros. Brawl is more major and important to the game experience than previous games in the series. Among video games in general, Brawl's musical setup is noteworthy for being a gigantic compilation of Nintendo music exponentially larger than even the musical selection of Super Smash Bros. Melee.

The full list of credited musicians for the game is posted here at Smash Bros. DOJO!!, and it numbers at 36 individuals as one of the biggest musical gatherings in gaming history. Sakurai has stated that his group of arrangement supervisors were asked to listen to "an elite selection of Nintendo music" and arrange several of their favorite songs, which "means there will be quite a number of songs."

Sound Test Song list
As opposed to the previous installments, where this feature had to be unlocked through various methods, Super Smash Bros. Brawl features the Sound Test option from the very start of the game, and this mode specifically lists the source game of each song and its credits. This is the full song list as ordered and arranged in the Music portion of Brawl's Sound Test mode.

These 258 songs do not include musical short pieces found in the Sound Effects, such as characters' post-battle victory themes. Even so, Brawl contains a few songs that do not appear in Sound Test, as either Music or Sound Effects. These include at least the autumn/winter variation of the "Obstacle Course" song (that plays only on the Yoshi's Island stage), the six Saturday night songs in Smashville, the ambience track used for Hanenbow, and strangely, the Cruel Brawl theme.

Many of these songs must be unlocked. Some of them are unlocked by beating certain game challenges, whereas many others are collected by simply grabbing random CDs. A CD Factory can make CD collection much more efficient.

Super Smash Bros.
Specifically, this section of the Sound Test is almost entirely dedicated to songs that return from Super Smash Bros. Melee, with one exception being a song returning from Super Smash Bros., in spite of the section's title simply being "Super Smash Bros." Also see Music (SSBM) and Music (SSB) for more information.

Animal Crossing
Note that these songs are the ones available for Smashville through My Music; however, if one brawls on that stage from 8:00pm to 12:00am on a Saturday night, the song will instead be selected randomly from the following: K.K. Cruisin', K.K. Condor , K.K. Western , K.K. Gumbo , Rockin' K.K. , DJ K.K.  All of these are ripped directly from the Animal Crossing games.
