WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

Negative points! :troll:

In all seriousness, I think Nintendo owns some of the rights to that. I'll let that pass.
Phew, thank goodness! You know, I always did like the Grass type starters the best. :troll:

I always considered Mario and Sonic as joint property of Nintendo and Sega. And here's a fun fact: while Sega did develop the game and publish it in North America and Europe, Nintendo handled publishing duties in Japan. Not to mention the development team was supervised by Shigeru Miyamoto himself. So yeah, it definitely counts, especially since Nintendo and Sega are BFFs now.

Would you like a special mention in the wall of honor?
While it may very well be my only chance at the Wall of Honor, I'll pass. I only did what any Smash fan would do. Besides, the real credit goes to Nintendo, for allowing Wii games to stream on the GamePad. It is that awesome. There's even a sensor bar built into the Gamepad for full Wiimote functionality! How cool is that?

Here's the thing.

We're gonna put off that stage as long as possible.

At least until we know whether its a smash stage or Punch Out stage.

Alright! I took second place! And I got a perfect score from Groose! (For some reason, you seemed to be the strictest judge. Maybe it's that avatar.)

Anyway, I do agree that Wii Sports Resort would have fit better on Wuhu Island, and I did have it on my Wuhu Island list, but I moved it to the Wii Fit stage because I figured that Wuhu Island would be primarily Pilotwings, and I found out that Wuhu Island actually debuted in Wii Fit. So since Wii Sports Resort also takes place there, I figured it'd be a good cross-promotion, but I guess not. :/

I am so glad to see that my medley went over well! That was actually the first idea I had for the stage when it was revealed for this round.

Usually I'm pretty strict... but that's usually for popular series. With Wii Fit, I was a bit more lenient overall... but you still earned that perfect score in my eyes. That training medley was the perfect way to bring in popular outside music to vary things up while keeping things "fitting." I don't know about Wii Sports... pretty much everyone had it on here, but that was one of the things I just hadn't expected. Eh...

You heard it from Groose first: tomorrow, a new Pokemon stage will be revealed. Evidence? I have none. It's just... a very strong hunch.

Anywho, I'm listening to the Kid Icarus: Uprising soundtrack right now. One of my favorites of all time, actually. But does that mean we will do Reset Bomb Forest tomorrow? :awesome:

Tomorrow's stage confirmed to be Arena Ferox.

I take it the stage tomorrow will be from a universe that features the use of Staffs and Bows, a green-haired goddess, and a lot of people that can fly. Amirite?? Am I being broad enough??

ROUND FIVE: Reset Bomb Forest

UNIVERSE: Kid Icarus
GAME OF ORIGIN: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)

There are no confirmed tracks for this stage. It's all up to you! Kid Icarus Uprising has an amazing soundtrack! So many great picks waiting for you!


Just don't forget about the original and Of Myth and Monsters!

YES!
I guess I should start to explain my reasoning.

1. Reset Bomb Forest (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
Pretty much THE song I expect to be on this stage. I would be surprised if it got excluded.
2. Thunder Cloud Temple (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
Come on. This theme is awesome! This also fits for an intense battle.
3. Boss Fight 1 (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
Speaking of intense fights, I think this one fits perfectly. Whenever I am on Pit's page on the SSB4 website, this theme is the first one to pop into my head.
4. That First Town (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
But why have all themes sound intense? How about we have a fun sounding song! It's a nice theme and it goes along with the intense yet fun nature of fighting in Super Smash Bros.
5. Magnus's Theme (Kid Icarus: Uprising)
When I saw the stage for the first time, this song popped into my head first. It's just a beautifully perfect theme. I would be disappointed if it wasn't in SSB4.
6. Overworld (Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters)
With a proper remix, this could be as amazing as most of Kid Icarus: Uprising's music. It was the only one from Of Myths and Monsters that I found appealing to be perfectly honest.
7. Underworld (Kid Icarus/Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
It would be a crime if I left this song out! This song is absolutely perfect. I would be incredibly upset if this version doesn't make a comeback! But if they make a better version for this stage...
8. Overworld (Kid Icarus/Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
As I am envisioning the stage, I see both the Underworld and Overworld themes to fit in quite nicely. I had to use the Brawl themes as the KI:U versions aren't extended like these are. So, take that as counting a Brawl song or a Kid Icarus song. Also, it may seem odd that I am putting in two Overworld themes... but these themes sound different and there were two different Underground themes in Brawl's Mushroomy Kingdom.

This was actually a bit more tricky than I thought it once was.

Name: Wrath of the Reset Bomb
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n0UomqGw2c
Reason: This will probably be the main theme of this stage. It plays during the chapter in the game. It is prefect for battle. There are a few versions of this song.. same melody but different pace. I felt this one was the most dramatic and fits with the stage.

Name: The Reaper's Line of Sight
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1IXN8L8kDw
Reason: The reaper’s theme is also from the NES classic but orchestrated. It’s a classic that is needed.

Name: The Return of Palutena / Main Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQnBqpdEHc0
Reason: Main theme is a given.. also tune into 1:19. It’s a fun uplifting song.

Name: Thunder Cloud Temple
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yVTIEtWJ8A
Reason: Best song in the game.

Name: Magnus' Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PghCII871XQ
Reason: Maybe Magnus will be playable? Either way the chorus that chimes in at 2:00 is amazing.

Name: Hades' Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FvTDyjl1fc
Reason: Dramatic and amazing. Those bells! That chorus!

Name: Boss Battle 2
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koOafS2QFoY
Reason: Wow is this boss theme dramatic! I love how the main theme melody comes in at :49.

Name: Sky Palace
Universe: Kid Icarus
Origin: Kid Icarus Of Myths and Monsters (1991)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4XKvcLWeRQ
Reason: I love this gameboy bit track. I am aware that the NES underworld theme is important but it plays that classic melody throughout a few of the songs I have included already above. Either this song should be orchestrated or left as a bit track. Doesn’t matter. It sounds great and a song from the Gameboy Kid Icarus game would be nice.

I knew this was coming. Here are my choices:

Name: Kid Icarus: Uprising - Main Theme/Main Menu
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6nOPEMaWAw
Reason: A new theme for the new era of Kid Icarus. Since this will probably be the only Kid Icarus stage on the 3DS, I think it should be on the stage. So triumphant and fun to fight to!

Name: Kid Icarus: Uprising - Opening
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts91h-WzVG4
Reason: I think it'd be fun to fight to, and upon closer listening, it actually contains a couple of important songs in the series (The old underworld theme and the Uprising boss music)

Name: Chapter 11 Medley (Viridi, Goddess of Nature & Reset Bomb Forest)
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Viridi, Goddess of Nature Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3mm2ovLaUg
Reset Bomb Forest Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDAHOi9p01s
Reason: Since each stage in Kid Icarus: Uprising has an aerial portion and a ground portion, I think having a song to reflect that would be pretty good. Also, since it appears that the stage itself will change, I imagine the Goddess of Nature song will play until the reset bomb goes off (which I think is somewhere around the 1:30 mark), then the Reset Bomb Forest part will play until the stage goes back to normal.

Name: Magnus' Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kPwTTQb6D8
Reason: Magnus is a fan favorite character, as you can see by the views/likes/comments in this video. I don't expect him to be playable, but I do expect his theme song to show up. I also think it sounds like it would be awesome to fight to.

Name: Boss Fight 1
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2S2h24xuZI
Reason: This song seems like a no-brainer to me.

Name: Dark Pit
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG77HTdreh0
Reason: This song takes a while to get going, but I feel it provides a nice contrast to the epic orchestra and hard rocking of the previous tracks.

Name: Underworld Tower
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Of Myths & Monsters (1991)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=relroNy1NSE
Reason: This would sound awesome with modern instruments, and I think it would be nice to pay tribute to the first appearance of the series on a portable system.

Name: Battle With Saturos
Universe: Golden Sun
Game: Golden Sun (2001)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEjqqUTz-us
Reason: This is my dangerous pick, since it being here hinges on whether or not Isaac and a Golden Sun stage don't make it in (since I think that this song would be on a Golden Sun stage). Anyway, I think this would be a good place for this song to appear on, plus it's a fan favorite. Motoi Sakuraba composed the music for both Golden Sun and Kid Icarus: Uprising, both games are handheld titles, and in a meta/far-out reasoning, since a Golden Sun song appeared on a Metroid stage in Brawl, I think it would be cool for a Golden Sun song to appear on Kid Icarus in Sm4sh (since Metroid and Kid Icarus were "sister" games.)

Well, that's my list. I don't expect the Kid Icarus Overworld/Main Theme to make an appearance on this stage, since I think the 3DS stages will focus more on current/portable titles, so that's why I didn't include it (Although it does show up in the Uprising Opening track.) Also, I originally had The Tunnel/SR388 Surface from Metroid II on this list, but I figured that would be on a Metroid 3DS stage so I took it off.

I suppose we don't have enough playlists to warrant a judging round yet? Don't worry, I'll participate no later than the end of today.

Also, would it be okay to use songs from other 3rd party games on 3rd party stages given Sega or Capcom own the said franchise? It may be a risky move and I certainly wouldn't go overboard, but you never know.

I didn't include any OM&M music because, quite frankly, I don't think we'll see any. Sakurai had no problem ignoring M&M's soundtrack when he made the song list for Skyworld in Brawl, and it wasn't like there was a ton of music on Skyworld to begin with.

Nevermind.

Name: Reset Bomb Forest
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game It's Originally From: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDAHOi9p01s
Reasons: Wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being the default track. The stage name we have thus far and the chapter of KI:U it takes after pretty much indicate this. It's also a soothing and fast-paced track perfect for this stage. Wonder if it will sync with the hazards, huh?

Name: Dark Pit's Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game It's Originally From: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG77HTdreh0
Reasons: This rather mellow theme is a nice contrast with most tracks I provided for this stage. It also appears in Light vs. Dark when 1 team gets their angel and crescendos with more heated instruments from their.

Name: Magnus's Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game It's Originally From: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlMkDs1NWGs
Reasons: Magnus is a character of epic stature and his theme rings of epicness with its orchestra atmosphere. Whether or not he makes it, this theme still fits.

Name: Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game It's Originally From: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Um6_AlEkpIY
Reasons: Pandora's Labyrinth of Deceit was one of the most confusing and otherworldly locations of the game. This track alternates its tempo, instruments, and tone all the way through, making for a trippy and intense track.

Name: Boss Battle 1
Universe: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Game It's Originally From: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2S2h24xuZI
Reasons: What's an action-packed game like this without its rock music? Yet alone the track that repeats during every boss phase? Now that's gonna get stuck in your head, and we willingly let this track sink into ours'. This symphonic rock track gives a feel of intensity.

Name: Raid Blue
Universe: Sin and Punishment
Game It's Originally From: Sin and Punishment (2000)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9PM_gJrN5E
Reasons: Make it or break it, the Tabuu of this list. Now, this track may be a sore thumb for a Kid Icarus-centric soundtrack, but not all the stage playlists in Brawl catered to just one series. It is also risky considering a Sin & Punishment rep might have a slight margin to make it into the game, and with that, a stage. But it is my reasonable doubt to believe that this margin is trumped by man other series Sakurai might've chosen reps for over it, unfortunately. Anyways, this rock track is pretty funky and smooth. Other than that, Kid Icarus: Uprising has many influences with Sin & Punishment that its almost uncanny (rail shooters, control scheme, etc.) For the few minutes I spent playing Star Successor, the setting for the level I played correlated well with Reset Bomb Factory's. Ruined landscape, swarms of flying creatures incongruously flowing, legions fighting on the ground. This track meshes well.

Name: Underworld (Brawl)
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game It's Originally From: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008)
YouTube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW1HWUz0DZ0
Reasons: Ah, the game that resuscitated the Kid Icarus franchise. Hey, the Smash series and Kid Icarus are both directed by Sakurai too! This track was the first thing we heard out of this stage from the Dojo to the default setting, as well as the Subspace Emissary. This track contrasts well with the other music provided, but still fits well for a fighting game.

Name: A Medley Of Myths and Monsters
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game It's Originally From: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (1992)
YouTube URLs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrDeZ_T27nA , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsfqF6juGQk , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVyFwGylG9A , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tog_4iaKGVI , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4XKvcLWeRQ , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuV1-Hn9KAE , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgZtireTEI4 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkPtUjzHsuI
Reasons: Some 8-bit goodness from a rather obscure game. This medley goes with this stage like the NES medley went with Skyworld in Brawl. 8 tracks, transition in order, repeat after last.

[collapse="GRC's Reset Bomb Forest Song List"]
Immediately wanting to start off with this. As per usual, I try to keep console songs on Wii U stages and handheld songs on 3DS stages as much as possible. Of the three Kid Icarus games in the series, only two of them are handheld, being Of Myths & Monsters and Uprising. However, of the two, Of Myths & Monsters was never released in Japan and has had almost no bearing whatsoever on Kid Icarus in Brawl and Uprising, meaning that Sakurai will not consider it important to have the soundtrack represented. For this reason, I think it's completely justified that a majority of the track here comes from Uprising, since it fits the above criteria and is easily the most tempting soundtrack for Sakurai to pull from, considering it was a game he made and the most recent entry of the series. That said, variety will have to come internally within Uprising. Please do not judge variety based on how evenly the games' songs are spread apart for this reason.

Now then. Here's the images if you need a visual aid while listening to these.

Name: Opening
Series: Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Kid Icarus: Uprising
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts91h-WzVG4
  • Upbeat song, synonymous with the Kid Icarus series as a whole.
  • Song has subtle changes that work excellently with the evolving format of the stage.
Name: Main Theme
Series: Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Kid Icarus: Uprising
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6nOPEMaWAw
  • Main Theme of Uprising, therefore iconic to the series, possibly right after Underworld.
  • Not quite cheerful--moreso valiant, I believe. Really captures the majesty of the world Pit resides in.
Name: Wrath of the Reset Bomb
Series: Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Kid Icarus: Uprising
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n0UomqGw2c
  • The song from the origin the actual stage is based on. Why wouldn't it fit in that regard?
  • Draws greater attention to the action in the background, I believe, what with the tension of the war and the reset bomb ready to drop.
Name: Dark Pit's Theme
Series: Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Kid Icarus: Uprising
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COgGsetFrCM
  • Definitely one of the most well received songs of the entire Uprising soundtrack.
  • Distinct and a tad spicy compared the other songs, fitting for a duel, drawing more attention to the fighters themselves.
Name: Boss Fight
Series: Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Kid Icarus: Uprising
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2S2h24xuZI
  • You hear this song a million times in Uprising. The fact that it's not half bad means it's definitely memorable, too.
  • The speed of the fighting that goes on in Smash Bros. is very comparable to that of the fights in Kid Icarus: Uprising, meaning the tone fits perfectly.
  • Dat guitar.
Name: Thunder Cloud Temple
Series: Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Kid Icarus: Uprising

  • Really good song that actually has a hint of vain to it, as if bringing emphasis to the fact that your battleground takes place in a war-zone filled with the evils of conflict, death, and total genocide.
  • Transition is remarkably fitting, as the tune goes from somber to intimidating to tragic, much like the events of the stage.
Name: Overworld
Series: Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BQw_Dn5rtE
  • I never said leave out Of Myths and Monsters out completely, did I?
  • Representation to another handheld title of the series and an ode to an often forgotten game in Nintendo's history.
  • Definitely has a unique flavor to it. Almost Egyptian in style, definitely a change of pace compared to the "war is good", "war is bad" songs above.
Name: Underworld (Brawl)
Series: Super Smash Bros. / Kid Icarus
Game of Origin: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW1HWUz0DZ0
  • The most recognizable/important theme of the series, meaning it's hard to have a Kid Icarus stage without truly having the full version of it.
  • An absolute classic to Brawl. Seriously, in terms of composition, you can't tell me this wasn't like Brawl's Hyrule Temple. Too good to miss.
  • The reason for Underworld instead of Overworld is because Overworld doesn't fit as well. There, I said it.

And with that, I'm back. After two straight wins and a half win in the form of helping AEM... Will this be the time I finally lose to someone else? I sure hope not.

Please Note: I have never played a Kid Icarus game so I don't know what's hot and what's not.

Name: Kid Icarus: Uprising - Main Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6nOPEMaWAw
Reason: It's kind of the main theme... I don't see any more reasoning in need.

Name: Reset Bomb Forest
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6nOPEMaWAw&list=SPD267B8CC48D06DF5&index=2
Reason: I think you can figure this one out to.

Name: Wrath of the Reset Bomb
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n0UomqGw2c&list=SPD267B8CC48D06DF5
Reason: The tune is catchy and it is about a reset bomb so I think it would be a good choice.
If it is ok I would like to cut this in favor of...

Name: Underworld
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FW1HWUz0DZ0
Reason: This is THE MOST popular music in the series. It is what almost everyone knows. In fact I even thought for the longest time that this was the main theme lol.
Change Reason: I didn't think having two reset bomb music pieces would be a good idea. And why on the friggin' earth would I leave out Underworld? (A rather happy sounding underworld if you ask me).

Name: Viridi, Godess of Nature
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3mm2ovLaUg&list=SPD267B8CC48D06DF5
Reason: I haven't played any Kid Icarus games so correct me if I'm wrong but I am pretty sure she is the one who sent the bombs out in the first place. But the tune is fitting so it shouldn't matter anyway right? Right?

Name: Boss Fight 2
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa7p1MQNeW4&list=SPD267B8CC48D06DF5
Reason: Ok, I can't give a reason for this one because, yet again, I haven't played the game.

Name: Dark Pit's Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COgGsetFrCM
Reason: This tune changes things up a bit. It is nice and fast but I can't say much mare than that because... You most likely know.

Name: Palutena's Temple
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Uprising
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFqMFlAVYAg
Reason: This seems like pretty popular music. In fact it's one of the only two pieces of Kid Icarus music I had even heard before now (the other one is Reset Bomb Forest). The theme is fast paced and seems to fit the stage :D all in all I think this was one of my better choices.

Name: Myths and Monsters - Title Screen
Universe: Kid Icarus
Game: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xez_MbongPg&list=SPFD8A91CDAD091F69&index=2
Reason: I only wanted to add one piece of Myths and Monsters music so I thought the title screen (the closest thing to a main theme) was the best fit.

Song: Dark Pit’s Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Source: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COgGsetFrCM
Reason: Spanish guitar. Just, that beautiful Spanish guitar. You have to fall in love with Pitoo's theme.

Song: Viridi, Goddess of Nature
Universe: Kid Icarus
Source: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3mm2ovLaUg
Reason: Fitting music, Viridi's theme is included for it's eerie feel and then dangerously intense feeling, since, y'know, there's bombs going off in the background.

Song: Wrath of the Reset Bomb
Universe: Kid Icarus
Source: Kid Icarus; Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n0UomqGw2c
Reason: Different enough from Viridi's theme, I think this is yet another intense song well-placed in the tracklist.

Song: Fortress/ Grim Reaper’s Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Source: Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (1991)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B14wbvOK424 (Fortress)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tog_4iaKGVI (Grim Reaper’s Theme
Reason: The Fortress is a very catchy tune, and adding the Grim Reaper's theme in certain parts can certainly add some more variety to this track. Besides, let's show some love to the original Kid Icarus handheld!

Song: Boss Battle (Kid Icarus)
Universe: Kid Icarus
Source: Kid Icarus (1987)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOLdQz5bEcY
Reason: Um... listen to it. It belongs on this stage. It's got the feels.

Song: SolarStriker Stage 1
Universe: Nintendo
Source: SolarStriker (1990)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iswSM0iDuWk
Reason: A fun fact is the creator of Kid Icarus worked on this game, alongside Super Mario Land. This song, orchestrated, would sound like a Kid Icarus song. I added this to give some diversity to the Kid Icarus train, since I didn't want ALL Uprising tunes, and some others from more under-repped Game Boy games.

Song: Thiana
Universe: Panel de Pon
Source: Panel de Pon (1995)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKekCyw7Uu8
Reason: WHAT? Why is Panel de Pon doing on a Kid Icarus music tracklist? Simple. A relaxing tune that can truly change the atmosphere of the Reset Bomb Forest.

Song: Uprising Main Theme
Universe: Kid Icarus
Source: Kid Icarus: Uprising (2012)
Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6nOPEMaWAw
Reason: It's gotta be here, c'mon!

It's as tough a heck to not add Underworld or any of the main/earlier chapter themes from Uprising considering they're the main themes to the series and are so good to listen to, but man they just don't fit this stage at all IMO. I would hope Skyworld returns from Brawl or that we get a cheerier stage in the Wii U version.

May come back and edit this later, would hope that importing the Uprising OST pays off a bit though.

EDIT: Alright that's 8 songs.

Yeah, I'd recommend you'd edit sooner. The amount of tracks you posted exceeds the limit. I know how it is, I had to cut down a lot of great Uprising tracks just to accommodate others. :(

8 is the maximum amount or tracks you're allowed to have.
