* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aX6sYfw0Jc Aloneness]], the credits theme to ''Tekken 7'', gets an instrumental orchestra remix that - while more triumphant-sounding - still maintains the same melancholic and heart wrenching tone to reflect both the love Kazumi Mishima had for her husband and son, and her tragic decisions that caused the blood feud long after her passing which culminated with ''7'' being the EndOfAnEra for the Mishima saga. The melancholic vibe does work wonders considering that out of the entire line-up of songs that make up the huge soundtrack ''Ultimate'' boasts, this is the ''final'' remix exclusive to the game, which similarly marks a sad yet ultimately hopeful end to ''Ultimate'' as much as it did to ''Tekken 7''.

* For another fan-favorite track, Yoko Shimomura's remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r6m1ZjFNr4 Moonsiders 1st]], the 1st round theme for the Infinite Azure stage, replaces the synth with a piano and somehow manages to make the song more serene while being just as adrenaline-pumping as the original.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZur_z-LNI The Boss music from]] VideoGame/TheSubspaceEmissary is pretty awesome in its own right. Great music for a No-Holds-Barred throw-down.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_DTu4gx2OI The new remix of the Dojo theme]] (done by Rio Hamamoto, the original's composer) retains the awesome rhythm and dubstep segments, but it uses more traditional Japanese instruments, ironically making the theme more appropriate for the stage than the original version.

* The ''Ultimate'' remix for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBlBpXWLKcA Gank-Plank Galleon]] is probably one of the most glorious remixes you'll ever hear. ''[[MythologyGag It also comes with a rap.]]''

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFE92Eooawo "End of Despair"]], from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'', aka the theme that plays when [[TheHeroDies Sigurd and his pals die at the hands of Arvis]] at the end of the first act of the game. This orchestrated remix takes the drama of the original and cranks up the tempo, giving a strong sense of urgency and tension to any ''Smash'' battle it's set to.

* ''[=3DS=]'' gives us a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHzYs162HSk quirky, yet wonderful remix]] of the ''Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings'' "Magicant" theme, with the game's Eight Melodies snuck in right at the end. Likewise, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwrPLtEfwuk Smiles and Tears]] is a breathtaking remix of ''Mother 2'''s ending theme; bonus points for sneaking in part of the first game's Eight Melodies as well.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvr15O0TVtc "The Legendary Air Ride Machine".]] A complete orchestral remix that sounds beautiful and majestic all at once. One of the best Kirby remixes by far.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tL1p9YbGk Dialga/Palkia Battle At Spear Pillar!.]] [[note]]Medley consisting of the following ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Diamond/Pearl/Platinum]]'' tracks: Dialga/Palkia battle theme, mixed in with the background music from Spear Pillar itself.[[/note]]

* The best wild Pokémon battle themes of the series, those of Sinnoh and Johto, both received insanely ''EPIC'' remixes in ''Brawl'' and ''Melee'' respectively. Both are in ''Brawl''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tL1p9YbGk Dialga/Palkia Battle At Spear Pillar!.]] A Medley consisting of the following ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Diamond/Pearl/Platinum]]'' tracks: Dialga/Palkia battle theme, mixed in with the background music from Spear Pillar itself.[[/note]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yvr15O0TVtc "The Legendary Air Ride Machine".]] Holy ''crap.'' A complete orchestral remix that sounds beautiful and majestic all at once. One of the best Kirby remixes by far.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YOFDTqfxrA Fire Man Stage]] remix from ''Ultimate'' is also pretty awesome.
* The ''Ultimate'' remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2vdFDCobYo Snake Man Stage]] is extremely catchy with some ''amazing'' violin parts.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9tL1p9YbGk Dialga/Palkia Battle At Spear Pillar!.]] Holy crap.[[note]]Medley consisting of the following ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Diamond/Pearl/Platinum]]'' tracks: Dialga/Palkia battle theme, mixed in with the background music from Spear Pillar itself.[[/note]]

* While ''VideoGame/YoshisNewIsland'''s soundtrack is much maligned thanks to its use of kazoos, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7h-JNKb3cE this remix of the main theme]] shows that the general melody is ''really'' good.

* Introduced in ''Ultimate'' alongside a Mii Gunner costume DLC based on '''Sans''' from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BTrspwpooo Megalovania]]! Remixed by Music/TobyFox as well! The additions of the guitar, piano and several other new instruments mixed with the orginal sounds create a heart-racing and awesome track. And in true ''Undertale'' fashion, [[{{Leitmotif}} the themes of other boss battles in the game are snuck in]]. It truly will make anyone feel determined, especially with the 8.1 update for ''Ultimate'' allowing for it to be played for any Battlefield stage or Final Destination at any time.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDsvgLW6kbc Peach's Castle]] from Smash 64 features one of the best renditions of the overworld theme yet!

** In ''Smash Bros. for Wii U'', you get to listen to ''all four'' of them, in one game!

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6MOsKt0Z1w "Aerith's Theme"]], rearranged by Keiichi Okabe, famous for his work in ''VideoGame/NierAutomata''. What was originally an really somber and tender {{Leitmotif}} for the WhiteMagicianGirl becomes a determined theme that can easily fit a heroic comeback, as if it embodies Cloud and company's resolve to take down Sephiroth after [[ItWasHisSled Aerith's death]]. The amazing vocals are the cherry on top of an already amazing piece!

* Similar to Sans' introduction to ''Ultimate'', we have the title character from ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'' as a Mii Gunner costume, with a remix of "Floral Fury" included. While it doesn't fully capture the aesthetic of the cartoons back in the day, it's still a fast-paced number to groove to as a modern interpretation of the original track, just like the modern day cartoons which constantly evolves through nearly every era.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePEFbCA0spQ Jogging / Countdown]]. Two of the most iconic themes from the NES game, they go into quite epic proportions here. Sadly, the [[Creator/{{Survivor}} "Eye of the Tiger"]] version from the reveal trailer is nowhere to be found.

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTKwDQREhAM Angel Island Zone Remix]]. Such a pity that it was the ''only'' Sonic theme that got a remix...

* And finally, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_78yEpXSiU Space Armada remix]].

* ACE, who composed some of the famous music from ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'', give us their own take of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIGi9VCF5Lc Spark Man Stage.]]

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P03SlFSmeXo Final Destination]], which is the main theme combined with BLAZING ELECTRIC GUITARS (mainly) and pretty much every other instrument that makes for an epic theme.
* Also, [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CYHc6o4ZtyE Battlefield]], the main theme remixed for large scale battles and [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Moments of Awesome]].

Note: If the music is unchanged from its original game, then put it in its relevant section of Awesome Music, not here.%%That especially goes for tracks from Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts (outside of the arrangement for his victory screen), and Cuphead and Shantae's tracks.%%

In addition to its own music, the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series has a habit of taking older music tracks and making them awesome, whether they already were or not. The entirety of ''Brawl'''s soundtrack alone could count considering it featured the largest number of video game composers to work together on a single game at the time. Games like the ''3DS''[=/=]''Wii U'' versions and ''Ultimate'' have since expanded those games even further, with ''Ultimate'' now having over 1,000 tracks on its own as of the Version 10.0.0 Sephiroth update! And with ''Ultimate'' allowing every track in the game to be usable for all of their Battlefield stages as well as Final Destination as of their Version 8.1 update, those tracks can now all be usable for fighting purposes as well!

* While the [[RunningGag Internet-explodingly popular]] ''Final Fantasy'' series got shafted in terms of remixed music before the Sephiroth update (having only two of the fighting scenes in ''Final Fantasy VII'' around in the Wii U version and the initial version of ''Ultimate'' due to ExecutiveMeddling on Creator/SquareEnix's end, including other companies around the world as well), there was one saving grace in the Wii U/3DS version that was also included for Ultimate: Cloud has a remix of the obvious but still beloved ''Final Fantasy VII'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47dibcQj_Eo fanfare]] for his victory theme. It also [[BackgroundMusicOverride overrides]] the post-results screen music; it's the first in the series to have done this.[[note]]The trick has since been repeated for Joker in ''Ultimate'' with victory themes from ''Persona 5'', ''4'', and ''3'' having the chance to play for him.[[/note]]

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3feOkh8Dos Master Hand's theme]] used for the original Final Destination made for one Hell of an epic fight.

* The bonus stages in Classic Mode get a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOIguul1-lE heart-pounding techno-dubstep remix]] of the main theme that just screams "[[OutrunTheFireball get the Hell out of here NOW]]".

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWrJaok4qxM King Bowser]], which is Bowser's theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'', recomposed by the original composer Koji Kondo. The theme is reimagined as a full-blown classic rock track, even incorporating a snippet of the original 8-bit track near the beginning; and ''also'' segues into the Dark Land map music. It's immensely satisfying too, given that Bowser has never had a remix of one of his definite themes in ''Smash Bros.'' (apart from airship and castle remixes) until now.
