Let's face it- video game soundtracks are amazing. And I want to put together the Ultimate, truly Definitive music playlist featuring all of the best music from across all of the many franchises represented in Super Smash Bros. My goal is to include at least one music track from every significant game in each major Smash franchise. But I'd appreciate a little help.

I intend to add at least one game's worth of music to the playlist every day. The idea is to choose the best, most notable, and/or most iconic songs from each game. If you ever feel like there's a song I missed, or a song I shouldn't have included, I want to hear from you! I also want to include remixes and original songs made by fans. I'm completely open for any suggestions in that department!

Now, here is the complete list of franchises that shall be represented in the playlist. There are a few rules under some of them, and if you disagree and/or feel like they should be expanded upon, don't be afraid to bring it up with me! The franchises are arranged in this list in the order they will be featured in the playlist. Unless specified, content from movies, cartoons, and other non-game material will not be accepted. Remixes, however, may always be taken from any source.

For starters, how about some music from Mario Paint, including Creative Exercise, and music from Mario Artist?
