Notes: Hey! Some very good choices here. Magnus' and Dark Pit's theme are both incredibly popular and important themes to KI:U. As is the Title Theme. The Reaper's Line of Sight is a good choice as it's popular and important to the series as a whole. Wrath of the Reset Bomb is another good choice not only because it's popular or important but because it's where the stage is based on. The two GB tracks seem popular enough and both seem important. And the Brawl remix is the best choice for a past track in my opinion. Overall, a very good list. I approve!

Notes: Boss Fight 1! Possibly the most popular track from Uprising! Thunder Cloud Temple is probably a close second! Good choices there. That First Town isn't a bad choice by any means. I just feel that there are better ones out there. Still a fine choice however. Reset Bomb Forest is good and makes sense while Magnus' Theme is incredibly popular! The Overworld GB track is a good choice from that game and the two past tracks are nice choices as well. Good job!

Notes: Hm.... Almost all Uprising music! Interesting. The GB track is a good one. Popular and important. As stated before, Magnus' Theme, Wrath of the Reset Bomb, Thunder Cloud Temple and The Reaper's Line of Sight are all good choices! So let's get to the unique tracks! Return of Palutena could be a good choice. It just needs some rearranging so that it can effectively loop. The track has a potential problem but other than that its not bad at all. Hades' Theme is a interesting choice... I don't think it fits as well as other songs... Boss Battle 2 is an odd case as well. I'm not sure why you chose this one over the much more prominent and popular Boss Battle 1. Either way, you made some good choices.

The Opening and Boss Battle 1 are good choices for this stage. Underworld is a great choice as is Underworld Tower. The Original Medley might not be the best past track though.

At least not compared to some of the other tracks in the game. Still a good track though. Palutena's Temple is a surprising pick. It certainly fits, and is decently popular as well. Lord of the Underworld is another great choice. It's a pretty popular track and is very important as well. Brawl's Underworld is another great pick! Underworld Tower is a great pick but I'm not seeing it with Battle Theme. It just doesn't seem popular enough and doesn't quite fit the stage... Still great and unique choices though.

Palutena's Temple while a good one, isn't the best one, in my opinion. Same goes for Viridi's theme. Boss Battle 2 should be replaced with the more popular and prevalent Boss Battle 1. As least, that's what I believe.

Lightning Battle is my personal favorite from the game! Though it may have problems with looping. Regardless, its a popular track. The Return of Palutena can work really well if remixed slightly. Dark Pit's Theme and Boss Battle 1 are both great picks, as is Viridi's Theme. The GB track is also very nice. Palutena's Temple doesn't seem to stand out as much as the other tracks but it's good as well.

The Underworld Brawl remix is always welcome and a new remix of Skyworld (Overworld) would be much appreciated! Fortress is an odd choice but it's...catchy! I like it. Seems important enough. The Title theme medley is also a really cool idea. This is how you do a medley! All three tracks can mess together really well. I love it! Goldie VII? Huh...

Notes: Good ‘ol Reaper’s Line of Sight. That song had been around forever and adds importance to the series as a whole. Oh, and it’s very popular. As to your Of Myths and Monsters tunes… they’re not really featured in other games in the series, as OMM is usually ignored. They add great variety and fit (they were handheld tunes), but don’t do much for importance or popularity. Fortunately, the combination of Underworld, Dark Pit, and Magnus makes up for the potential weakness in popularity. I could do with some more stuff drawn from the Forces of Nature section of Uprising, however.

Notes: Thunder Cloud Temple. PERFECT choice. Madly popular and adds variety. Since it is the theme of Viridi’s top commander, it fits exceptionally well here, too. Reset Bomb Forest, while obvious, is essentially required in my eyes. Magnus is also a great choice, and the Of Myths and Monsters stuff fits, too. All in all, I take pretty much no fault with your list. The only thing I could think of to improve your list is grouping Underworld and Overworld into a medley and introducing another track. Such is just a suggestion, however; you’ve earned the perfect score in my eyes.

Notes: I want to take off and say Hades’ theme doesn’t really fit… but it’s such a great song, and there ARE Underworld forces present at the battle, so… I’ll just commend you instead. Unfortunately, I can’t quite excuse Boss Fight 2… amazing song, but it’s a song pretty much reserved for encounters with Medusa and a certain dramatic fight later in the game. Not really fitting, you know? As I’ve mentioned to others before you, Thunder Cloud Temple is absolutely perfect for this stage. If I may point out, Wrath of the Reset Bomb does NOT play during Chapter 11, but rather Chapter 12… it’s a remix of the theme from Chapter 11, though, so it’s definitely fine in my eyes. The GB track is pretty solid for fit, but not quite as popular or important to the series as your other tracks.

You’ve included Boss Battle 1 in addition to it? Great song, but I must dock variety points for that. The Golden Sun track works pretty well here; it fits in my eyes and helps salvage your variety. Someone had used Golden Sun stuff on Skyloft before, but it fits better here. I could have used one more track from the Forces of Nature arc, as well, but you had a pretty solid list.

Notes: When you’re designing tracks for this contest, it’s always important to fulfill all of the criteria. You met three of them pretty well… but you have very, very little variety. The Opening Theme contains the Underworld Theme and Boss Battle 1; the Viridi, Goddess of Nature and Wrath of the Reset Bomb are both tracks derived from Reset Bomb Forest, which is already on your list. While all three send your fit to absurd levels… they do absolutely nothing for variety. You would have been fine with just using the Opening Theme and Reset Bomb Forest… and you could have used the four other slots for other popular pieces of music. Where’s Magnus? Thunder Cloud Temple? Dark Pit? Lunar Sanctum? I’m afraid you’ve missed the boat a bit on this list.

Notes: The most interesting track on your list is Lord of the Underworld. You may be surprised to hear this… but I think it fits perfectly. Even though Viridi was absent from that chapter… the way the song itself changes suddenly about halfway in works really well if it’s timed to switch when the Reset Bomb goes off and the stage changes. Also, it’s an amazing and popular song. Palutena’s Temple (or Soul of the Goddess, as I know it) works really well as well.. it’s superb for adding variety. Destroyed Skyworld… eh… not quite as fitting in my eyes, but still a great song. I also love your choice of the Battle Theme from Of Myths and Monsters… it fits for some odd reason. I could have used one more track from the Forces of Nature arc, though… Thunder Cloud Temple or Lunar Sanctum were great choices, in my eyes.

Notes: Pandora’s Labyrinth of Deceit, eh? Definitely great for variety… but I don’t really think it fits, you know? The Labyrinth and everything about it were just so different from the rest of the game and the series. Honestly, I think Raid Blue was a better choice than Labyrinth… Raid Blue kind of fits with Kid Icarus. It’s definitely not a perfect track for the stage, but it works pretty well. I like creativity… can’t say this choice helped you much, but it certainly didn’t hurt you. Fortunately enough, your trio of Boss Battle 1, Magnus, and Dark Pit pretty much locks your popularity into a perfect score in my eyes… and as I’m saying to pretty much everyone, I could have done with a second track from the Forces of Nature arc. Thunder Cloud Temple or Lunar Sanctum?

I can tell, Mr. Cousin, that you are an absolute master at doing so. You’ve yet to turn in a list that isn’t incredible. This list is incredibly solid… but not quite perfect. Dark Pit, Thunder Cloud Temple, Underworld, Boss Fight… you’ve got everything I could hope for. My one issue, though, is this: the Opening Theme that you included is pretty much a remixed medley of Underworld and Boss Battle 1… which are both on your list already. I would have liked to see no repeating songs throughout… but that’s really my only complaint. Ditch the Opening theme for the Uprising Title or Silence of the Moon or something… and you would have had a perfect score.

Notes: For never having played a Kid Icarus game, you’ve put together a pretty solid list, mein Freund. I have two real issues with your list, though. The first is that you included both Viridi, Goddess of Nature and Reset Bomb Forest; one of the two is pretty much essential in my eyes, but I don’t like seeing both of them. They’re essentially remixes of each other, so including both is kind of a waste. I could have done with a Silence of the Moon or a Thunder Cloud Temple instead; they’re the themes of Viridi’s commanders. My other issue is Boss Battle 2… it’s a rather special tune that only plays in two dramatic moments of the game. It’s a great and popular song… but it doesn’t really fit here. All in all, though, it was a solid effort; I’m sure that had you actually played the game, you would have done even better.

Notes: You say Wrath of the Reset Bomb is different enough from Viridi, Goddess of Nature. I respectfully disagree. They have pretty much the same chorus; I’d personally be miffed if they were both there because one is just hogging a space for something more unique. The original boss tune and the Of Myths and Monsters medley were both good choices, but I feel like when you combine that with some of your other tracks, you kind of left Uprising behind in the dust a little bit. SolarStriker was great and fits pretty dang well, in my opinion. It was a good surprise, but... while I do like Thiana… it doesn’t really fit a stage where a friggin meganuclear bomb goes off in the background, and it’s not as popular as some of the stuff you could have included in the end. And no Underworld?

Notes: YEEEEEEES! You’re the first one to include At the Sanctum, and I’ve already graded about a dozen entries. It’s a great choice that is pretty popular for its spoof on Star Wars. Best of all, it really fits on the stage, as it took place during the Forces of Nature arc. I can say the same thing about Thunder Cloud Temple. Add in the Reset Bomb Forest tune, and you have a trio of unique songs to the Forces of Nature arc. Then you add in the popular trio of Dark Pit, Magnus, and Boss Fight, spruce things up with some Of Myths and Monsters and… it’s a perfect list. Kudos.

Either way, I have to confess it certainly isn’t bad… but it isn’t as stellar as I was hoping from you. The song that stands out the most in my eyes is Viridi’s Home theme. At first I planned on crucifying you for such a choice, but… it’s deceptive. I listened to it again, and it really, really works. Adds to pretty much every area of judging. If that was your biggest success, including both Viridi, Goddess of Nature and Reset Bomb Forest was your biggest blunder. The two songs are just too similar… as you mentioned, they would indeed work better as a medley so they don’t hog space in the eight track limit. I also respect your decision to not include certain Uprising tracks because they’d work better elsewhere… but I could have used just one more ultra-popular track. All in all, a great list, but not quite perfect.

All are good choices for the stage and you've got popular songs from Uprising such as Dark Pit's Theme. While I'd complain about the lack of any of the Chapter 11 themes from Uprising, you have the Wrath of the Reset Bomb theme, which is also a remix of Viridi's theme.

First things first: Wrath of the Reset Bomb is from Chapter 12, not the 11th chapter this stage is based off from, but anyway, it's a remix of Chapter 11's themes so, it should fit here too.
The rest of the songs are popular ones and can't say they don't fit, because they do, although you could have used more music from the NES game...

I was very close to giving you a perfect score, mainly thanks to the Chapter 11 medley you had and several popular songs from Uprising, however you had some faulty choices.
Uprising's Opening theme could be remixed into something nice, so it's not a bad choice, although I'd prefer if you chose the NES Underworld theme, because the Underworld part isn't very extended and most of the song is the Boss theme, which feels redundant.
The Golden Sun is the one that hurts the importance factor, even though it fits the stage very well. Motoi Sakuraba is one of my favorite VGM composers and also partially composed the Uprising OST, so I understand your reasoning.

You have songs from the three games, but this list is severely lacking in variety. And I really mean severely.
Reset Bomb Forest; Viridi, Goddess of Nature and Wrath of the Reset Bomb are all arrangements of the same theme, then you have Uprising's Opening theme which is a medley of the classic Underworld theme and Uprising's Boss Fight 1, which both are in your list too. See where am I going? Too many redundant choices that hurt your variety, which is a shame, since this has a good balance between the three Kid Icarus games.

You have popular songs and some oddball choices. I think for the Uprising songs, you've chosen too many songs from aerial segments, which sound good in the original context, but get a bit awkward outside of it, but they could, of course, be rearranged to fit the stage, but there are some popular choices you could have put instead.
Destroyed Skyworld is one of my favorite songs from Uprising and actually fits well in the stage and it's also one of the most important songs of the game, in my opinion. You also have Dark Pit's theme and the classic Underworld theme, which are both important and popular.

This is almost perfect. Yep, almost. The Sin & Punishment song is incredibly catchy and could be a good fit, however, it hurts your importance factor.
The Of Myths and Monsters medley is an incredible idea, since it's the least important of the Kid Icarus games, but would still get some nice recognition.
Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit is another faulty choice, since it hardly fits the stage and you could have gone with a more important song, such as the Main Theme of Kid Icarus: Uprising.

Two Reset Bomb songs would feel redundant, indeed, so it was a wise choice you made. You have both songs of the chapter this stage is based on (the songs are "Viridi, Goddess of Nature" and "Reset Bomb Forest"), but it could've been a medley of both songs, since both are different arrangements of the same theme.
Palutena's Temple is a good song, being intense and fitting for a fight and Boss Fight 2 is more dramatic sounding, which isn't bad either.
The Title song from the Game Boy game is a good choice too. All in all, not bad for someone who hasn't played the game.

Your Myths and Monsters medley works and I think both songs could mix well in one arrangement.
Not only this lists lacks more iconic songs like the classic Underworld theme, it also has both SolarStriker and Panel de Pon songs that could have given the place to more important tunes.

Destroyed Skyworld, Thunder Cloud Temple and Reset Bomb Forest fit the stage's atmosphere pretty well and you have popular songs like Dark Pit's Theme and Boss Fight theme. Magnus's Theme is also a good choice, fitting the stage and being a memorable song from Uprising.

You have both Chapter 11 songs that could have made into a medley, given the stage's progression and the fact that both are arrangements of the same theme.
Dark Lord Gaol's Castle is a fitting choice, but since it gets overridden by Magnus's Theme very quickly, it tends to be a forgettable song and that hurts your popularity factor. Solo Menu (Viridi) fits a Viridi themed stage, but it hardly fits the fast paced gameplay of Smash Bros.
Underworld theme is a must, given this is likely the only Kid Icarus stage on the 3DS.
All in all, it's not bad, but could've been better if you used more iconic songs, instead of relying too much on Viridi-related songs.

Another list with a Golden Sun theme, eh? You stated that both GS and KI music sound similar, but there's a good reason for that: both Golden Sun and KI: Uprising had their soundtrack composed by the same musician, Motoi Sakuraba.
Trivia aside, let's get on serious business. Lightning Battle, if arranged so it could loop would be a PERFECT fit for Smash Bros., in my opinion.
You have Viridi, Goddess of Nature, which could be mixed with the Reset Bomb Forest theme for looping and is a song that fit's the stage's progression quite well.
The Return of Palutena is a good song, though it could have been just the classic Underworld theme. There's the looping problem many aerial songs have, but it's not a bad fit.
Palutena's Temple is a good choice for the hectic fights, much like Boss Fight 1. The Venus Lightouse theme fits the stage and gameplay very well, although it could be replaced by another Kid Icarus song.

Dark Pit is a good choice, though you went with the more calm version, used in aerial battles. The other version, titled "Dark Pit's Theme", is a better choice for the Smash Bros.'s gameplay.
Viridi, Goddess of Nature and Reset Bomb Forest are arrangements of the same song that could have been a medley. Allow me to explain, the first song is of the aerial section where Pit soars over the warring humans and Viridi drops the Reset Bomb creating the forest, while the second song plays in the land section where Pit lands in the forest and saves the remaining humans and faces against Viridi's forces.
Overworld and Underworld from the NES game are good choices as both are iconic songs.
The Mii Force theme could have been easily replaced by another important and/or popular Kid Icarus song. It's hardly an iconic song and has zero importance to the Kid Icarus series.

NES Overworld, NES Underworld, OM&M medley, Viridi's theme, Dark Pit's Theme, main boss battle music from Uprising, Hades's boss theme and Magnus's Theme, this list has got it all.
Easily one of the best lists of this round, though I'd replace one of the themes (possibly Hades's) with Uprising's main theme, but this is especially good coming from someone who never played a Kid Icarus game. [/collapse]
