Well, the classic Melee menu theme is in the game. There's the Brawl remix that plays as an alternate track for Battlefield, as well as an entirely new (and very epic) version of the song as the alternative song for Final Destination.
I guess I should explain myself: this remix doesn't do the same.
I told this several time but SSBM will NEVER go off my best game for only one reason: this game is the reason I've played all the one I loved. In fact, it was my foundation of video games knowledge and I was just astonished when I learned what was the true purpose of the game, was just amazed.
I have sight issues which made my hearing improved. Since I'm someone that retains lots of details, some are even meaningless, my memory is quite solid with those details. If you combine this memory with my hearing, I can remember REALLY PRECISELY sounds that is quite memorable for whatever reasons.
This music...I'm not exaggerating if I tell you that I probably heard it more than 1000 times! I became just addicted to hear it and it made just wanting to use the menu for the only reason that I would hear those 40 seconds again....and again.....and again....forever.
The reason was because of the feel of it: it makes your experience fell like not usual, but way more global and basically, universal. It includes so much that you just want to live it and that's exactly what this theme does.
Since I spent a lot of time before unlocking everyone, I heard menu 1 a lot more than menu 2 which is good, but menu 1 is reflecting global a lot more than menu 2 which reflects more enjoyments.
You get that this music is still today engraved in my head notes by notes, exactly like playing it the exact sounds replica in my head. It's crazy how close to the original that I can play it in my head and hearing it is just me going in intense nostalgia thinking as it marks the music I heard when SSBM changed my life.
So, it HAS to be the original to give this effect. Nothing will EVER do it again except the true original music.
I actually don't like the remix only because of that, but that is clearly unfair as nothing can beat the original for me. Tough, they put the remix and the original in brawl and guess what I did: menu 1 cranked to the max and all other menu music got 0% in my music.
I really need original for this to work.
