We all know that Brawl may have one of the best sound tracks in gaming history,and this is no lie.But what do you think about the soundtrack?

I really enjoy listening to it,and I have even put some of it on my ipod,the only downside I really see is that almost every SSBB song is a remix of the main theme. I'm not saying they are bad remixes,but they are seem to be just to many of them.

There are exactly 22 remixes, out of 312 songs. Stop whinging.
I am not talking about out of the 312 songs I am talking about out of the the SSBB songs in general,the songs used for the games game modes and the 1 stage it has.

I am not whining I am just saying,I stated that I liked the remixes not hated them.

Well, the remixes are used for menus and stuff, that's why there are so many.
It's a great theme anyway...

There are a lot of good songs, but I'm not a huge fan of the majority of those songs that are remixed. I'm very disappointed with the Dark World remix in particular, it would have been so fun to fight to in it's original, or even a fully orchestrated form... but now it's lost it's "dark" feel. It needs the low brass back!

On the main theme, I like it. Some of the remixes are annoying, but I like the original one and the one playing on the menu the best.

I like them. It's better than having one song for each stage.I don't like in Brawl mode when a CD appears and it just bounces off the stage. It's annoying.

Yeah, and they also seem to love to fade out before you get the opportunity to go get them. -_-

That's why the CD factory is the best solution to get all of the CDs.

Well, the Mario theme, and most music from the series, has many remixes overall, other than in just one video game, and nobody complains about that =P I personally don't mind all of the remixes, and frankly, how many could you do of the same tune? XD

I love the music, and I love how every stage has many choices.

shhh...it's a secret
The remixes get really old--at least Melee had two or three themes to repeat and less often as that. With terrain as huge (and admittedly boring as hell) as SSE, you would think that they would have original music for each so you don't have the same theme constantly running through your head. It only contributes to the monotony of the entire "adventure." It's a good theme, but not that good.

Personally, I like most of the remixes. Some seem a little too "synthesized" to me, but that's only on the more classical-sounding pieces because I prefer full live symphonic orchestras anyway. Did anyone notice that a majority of the Kirby songs--not that they're bad, but Koji Kondo just kicks Shogo Sakai's *** any day--are performed by a live orchestra while the other series are lucky to get one or two (okay, MGS got more than that, but not many others). Gourmet Race sounds awesome at the beginning, but then you realize that there is no creative alterations to the melody like Fountain of Dreams did in Melee. Kind of a letdown. K. Rool's ship theme should have gone full-out metal and ditched the pipe-thing, but again that's my opinion. Luigi's Mansion sounds really sweet, but it's so short--it had a lot of potential for elaboration on that. Tetris A is my favorite song--I want to learn to play that short eight bar fiddling riff so badly. Underwater theme from Mario had a lot of potential for a fully orchestrated piece and they went with bluegrass/country thing in the middle? At least I still have my Rainbow Cruise arrangement to hug. Most of the original track songs are ones I would have picked, especially most of the Zelda ones. Kind of depressing that so many of them have to be played on the lame WW level, but meh.

I really loved the soundtrack, and I am a fan of remixes... I am definately putting some of the soundtrack on my MP3 player, good stuff.

First off Butter Building. BEST REMIX EVAR. ***** the whole game, and is the only thing that makes the Halberd stage playable.

Hell, I love Kirby music in general, and this game had the gems. Great remixes, and good soundtrack.

Now the bad:

Mario got shafted. His songs were pretty sub par. I only like Mushroomy Kingdom song 1 and Isle Delfino. The Metriod music is horrible, especially the Samus theme. And while it's still good, Mute City remix fails to capture the awesome of Captain Falcon.

I love the music, although the amount of remixes of the Main Them is disturbing I've made 40 stages in five days. That's eight stages a day. Sometimes the music lasts so long, I begin to make up weird lyrics in my head. ...O_O

Anyway, there could have been a few better choices than some, maybe a bit more Metroid and Mario music, and better picks for Pokemon than, say... POKEMON CENTER. -_-;

But I'd give it an 11/10. :p

When I heard the original Green Hill Zone, I almost cried with joy.

I don't know what it is about that song, but it really makes me remember my younger days, when I was so naive...playing all those Sonic games on my cousin's Sega Genesis when I was like 6...ah, good times.

Oddly, that's the only song I've heard so far that really makes me feel that way. The rest are okay, I suppose, but some of the remixes are a little... o_o, ya know? The Pokemon Center remix is a great example.

Overall, it's excellent.

The music is simpky awesome. The Zelda music is especially cool. Like Midna's Lament and the Ocarina of time medley. They should of put Phoenix wright music.. Seriously, that little game as some of the best music. Too bad its from capcom and not really nintendo. xP

I love the music overall, but I'm most thrilled with the inclusion of the Star Wolf theme from Assault. That game wasn't the greatest in the series, but I'll be ****ed if it didn't have good music. I also find myself listening to the OoT medley pretty frequently.

Surprisingly, all the main theme remixes in the SSE don't bother me like they seem to some people. They come off as natural. I'm just glad not all the SSE's music is main theme remixes. I really like the areas with DKC's Brambles remix playing in the background...so calming <3

So yeah, I love this soundtrack overall. It's so overwhelmingly awesome, expansive, carefully chosen... (Should have left in Mushroom Forest and Ballad of the Windfish but yeah, it's still great.) And to think, there's so much to unlock!
...And those dang CDs disappear so fast!

Some of my favorite tracks: Brambles, Big Brain Academy theme, Zelda medley, Star Wolf theme, Pikmin's Ai no Uta and Forest of Hope... actually I could go on, those are off the top of my head though. <3 EDIT OH YEAH most of the MGS stuff, omg Snake Eater and Yell "Dead Cell" and the MGS4 love theme. EPIC.

The only gripe I have and it's not even a big deal as I love the game and everything about the set of songs anyway is that the Sonic franchise needed more remakes and whatnot or at least more effort put in.

The ONLY original song put in that was redone was the Angel Island Zone, thanks to Jun Senuoe. He does great music. ^^

Sonic needed one or two of these things.

- Sonic the Hedgehog Medley (first game)
- Sonic the Hedgehog Boss (first game)
- Sonic the Hedgehog Boss Medley (first, second, third games. natural bosses and all the final boss themes including an extra from Sonic & Knuckles; The Doomsday Zone)
- What I'm Made Of (Sonic Heroes, would have been cool as an original or as a remade version that was epic)

I'm sure there's other songs that were missed in the game, but I think we needed them for more Sonic songs that were better. XD!

Otherwise? I ADORE the soundtrack. I love Calling to the Night from Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

I love the Snake Eater Instrumental it's just so kick ***, I also love the Final Destination Brawl version, Metriod Prime Main Theme minus the stupid voice narration in the beginning and the new Mute City music it's just rockin.

I kinda wish they put either Aquatic Ruins Zone(Sonic 2) with real instruments (MIDI is cool and all, but real instruments would make my collection) and Sonic 2 medley. However, I like how they treated the sonic songs they used, as well as the Fire Emblem songs. Those are always so dramatically awesome, even though I hate drama.
