I feel like the Paper Mario series are the kings of the Mario Music.I could honestly make an entire list out of Sonic music but I know not to expect much there, same for the Paper Mario music.
I have to disagree. The Meta Ridley prime theme is not very intense, and it is beaten by far by the Chozo Ghost theme. The Meta Ridley Brawl theme is too similar to care about the minor differences. The problem with Brawl's vs Ridley is there was a lot of spots they could of jammed with, but it felt very tame. It was nice to see that they at least made the volume fluctuate. The Meta Ridley song from prime is mostly suspenseful and cool, but it is kind of sad that the scariest parts of the game never involved Ridley. The Space Pirates had terrific moments when they would try to spook the player, and Chozo Ghosts speak for themselves. For some reason, I never feel like Nintendo takes the best parts of their villians and run with it.Meta Ridley's Metroid prime theme drops panties. The ridley mix off brawl wasn't even close to the level of intensity that the prime had.
To contribute something new to this particular thread, I am really hoping for this stage theme from Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu to somehow end up in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - it's ridiculously catchy and seems like a hallmark of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) tunes. Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu is a heavily underrated game from the equally-underrated Kunio-kun series; thanks to TVTropes linking to it (mentioning it as a precursor to Super Smash Bros. gameplay, as seen in this video), I was fortunately exposed to the game's awesome music. I really wish the themes had names, but I can hardly read any Japanese characters, so I'm unsure of which stage this particular theme belongs to at the moment... But yeah, Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu music could definitely be put to good use in the Super Smash Bros. series!So this is the current SSB4 Wii U general music discussion thread, then...? Took me like 3 pages to find it.. XD
I'm hoping to post some additional remarks later, but here is the list (still a work in progress) of songs that have been featured in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, in case anyone wants to reference them for the Wii U version:
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS - Song List:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...QpK0mXX_2SZ9YIXbytE/edit?pli=1#gid=2054610930
Some songs seem to be exclusive to the 3DS Sound Test, since each stage only has 2 songs. Apparently, you press R to force a stage's second song; not sure if the first song can be forced in any way.

I'm hoping that all of the music on the SSB4 Nintendo 3DS Sound Test is included in the Wii U edition. My major hopes for returning tracks include:
As for a new track, "The Arena" (from Kirby's Return to Dreamland) could work (it stemmed from that lovely "Kirby Nintendo GameCube trailer", and also considering that the game and its 3 previous prototype iterations went through a lot to get released!); it seems fitting with a lot of the "triumphant"/"orchestrated" music found in the Super Smash Bros. series.
- "Together, We Ride!" (Super Smash Bros. Brawl arrangement) (a must-have for me), whether as a track for a potential returning Castle Siege stage, or for the Wii U's Fire Emblem-inspired Coliseum stage.
- "Final Destination (Brawl)" also needs to return as an option for the Wii U's Final Destination stage, although I hope that the SSB4 Main Theme is available in a similarly remixed style.
- The Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal "Battle Theme medley" arrangement from Super Smash Bros. Melee is another must-have for me. If neither of the 2 Pokemon Stadium stages returns, I'll be content with just replaying this song in the Sound Test.
- "Dialga/Palkia Battle at Spear Pillar!" was quite the impressive track in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so I'm hoping that it returns coupled with the Spear Pillar stage. I'm glad to hear that Generation 5 of Pokemon received a similar arrangement in SSB4 3DS with an arranged medley of "Battle! VS Reshiram/Zekrom/Kyurem" and "Dragonspiral Tower" (which I'd really like to call "Reshiram/Zekrom Battle at Dragonspiral Tower" for consistency's sake XD)!
- "Shin Onigashima", because that was pure unadulterated "No Export For You"-laced awesomeness!
- For the "Kalos Pokemon League" stage, I expect it to include "Battle! VS Champion (Kalos)" {maybe a medley could incorporate it, with the Kalos Elite Four battle theme preceding it?} and "Battle! VS Xerneas/Yveltal" within the stage's My Music selection list. However, "Battle! VS Elite Four (Hoenn)" definitely needs to be included as a pioneer for Elite 4-exclusive tracks (along with an excerpt of it cameoing in the Unova Elite Four's battle theme), and would help to reference the upcoming Pokemon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire games for Hoenn! As for other themes for the stage, the "Victory Road (Hoenn)" arrangement from Super Smash Bros. Brawl would suffice (being already made, being linked to a region's Elite Four headquarters in Ever Grande City, and providing further advertisement for Pokemon OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire), in addition to the "Victory Road/Elite Four headquarters" theme for the Kalos region.
- Regarding Pokemon, I'm quite surprised that the "Battle! VS Champion (Kanto) [FireRed/LeafGreen remix]" (also known as "Last/Final Battle! (VS Rival)" theme (with the melody debuting in Pokemon Red/Blue/Green/Yellow) hasn't appeared in Super Smash Bros. series yet, given the number of fan remixes that it has. XD As an often-recurring battle theme (present in Pokemon Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, FireRed, LeafGreen, Black 2/White 2, in addition to the Pokemon Stadium series and the Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight game from Game Freak; with unused versions apparently being located in Pokemon Black/White and Pokemon X and Y as well), I think it's time for that track to shine! I'm more familiar with the Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen rendition, although any of the powerful arrangements would do (or even a unique Super Smash Bros. arrangement).
- The Kirby "Boss Theme Medley" from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, so I can potentially use it fittingly on an actual Kirby stage.
- "Corneria (Brawl arrangement)" and "Main Theme (Star Fox 64) [Brawl arrangement]" also seem like potential candidates for that Great Fox stage that was featured in an SSB4 Picture of the Day a while ago. "Space Armada (Brawl arrangement)" could work as well.
With Capcom working on SSB4 in part, "Pressing Pursuit ~ Cornered" (from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney) would be a fantastic addition!
Regarding long shots, I would love it if 2 Zero Wing tracks, "Introduction (Part 1)" {often overshadowed by the memetic Engrish text/dialogue of the Zero Wing intro!} and "Open Your Eyes (Stage 1: Natols)" (as if Zero Wing couldn't get any more awesome, then I heard that masterpiece <3 Many thanks to the music of the "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" video by Bad-CRC of Newgrounds for allowing me to encounter the Natols track!) made it in somehow, along with "Terrible Beat" from Revenge of Shinobi..
