So! What say you lot?

 

[Admiral Pit]

You pretty much got the ones that interest me. I'd also like to bring whichever is Menu theme which is apparently Palutena's theme (it's the first one that plays once you exit the title screen), and the Ch.9 land battle. Same for Land Battle of the Reaper Fortress and Labyrinth of Deceit.
Of course, we need more than 1 KI stage for that.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Needs more Lightning Battle.

 

[Admiral Pit]

Needs more Lightning Battle.

If they loop that and some other amazing air battle themes, then I'm completely sold. <3

 

[Frostwraith]

Ugh, that's the problem with games with amazing soundtracks like Kid Icarus: Uprising or Fire Emblem: Awakening: you can't really pick a favorite song because all songs are good! Anyway, I'd like to hear both Boss themes from Uprising, the Reset Bomb Forest theme (obviously), Dark Pit's Theme (The best song from Uprising), the Lightning Chariot Base song and Magnus's Theme. Kid Icarus: Uprising's Main Theme should be in too.

Personally, I could see a new arrangement of both aerial and ground themes of Uprising's 11th chapter to reflect the stage's progress, like what happens with the Summit in Brawl. Given that the Reset Bomb Forest's song is a recurring song in Uprising, being Viridi's theme, I figured that a new arrangement would be better than porting one of the original arrangements, so it could be synchronized to the stage. The other Uprising songs could appear in their original versions, since they are from a 3DS game and the KIU stage is on the 3DS too.

Yeah, I was thinking that as well. Since the Reset Bomb Forest stage was revealed, I have always imagined it would have a soundtrack synchronised with its events. For instance, at the start of the stage, when the humans are fighting, the song could begin with the quiet rhythm of drums coupled with a gloomy opera. The tension in the song increases as the reset bomb appears and plummets toward the earth--and once it makes contact, the song bursts into a full-blown orchestra. [Shrugs] Or it could be something else entirely. Either way, it would be cool to have a new medley.

 

[_Darkpit_]

I love all songs from Kid Icarus Uprising. But If I have to choose the top 5 for SSB4, I would choose:

1. Destroyed Skyworld
2. Reset Bomb Forest
3. Thunder Cloud Temple
4. Bossfight 1
5. Magnus Theme

But I have to say, I love all songs equally. *-*

 

[SmashShadow]

I hope these all make it into Smash. There are just too many good songs in this game.
1. Lightning Battle/Thunder Cloud Temple
2. Destroyed Skyworld
3. Dark Pit's Theme
4. Boss Fight 1
5. Dog's Theme
6. Reset Bomb Forest
7. Magnus's Theme
8. Lightning Chariot Base

 

[Starbound]

I hope this makes it into Smash.

and yes I did link to the whole OST because I want it all to be in Smash 4.

Shoutouts to Destroyed Skyworld, Lightning Battle, Lightning Chariot Base and Dark Pit though.

 

[Admiral Pit]

As of now, I strongly want Destroyed Skyworld, Lightning Battle, the Jazzy Alien one (Ch15 ground) and both boss battle themes, especially the one with battling Medusa/Palutena. <3

 

[SmashShadow]

Dark Pit's theme confirmed!

 

[Altais]

Just added a "Confirmed Songs" list to the original post.

 

[Frostwraith]

The song "Ch 1: Return of Palutena", the one that plays on the aerial section of the first chapter from Uprising also briefly plays on the Pseudo-Palutena's trophy showcase.

Quite happy that both Boss Fight 1 and Dark Pit's Theme are confirmed. Easily the best songs from Uprising.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Well Boss Fight 1 and Dark Pit's theme were the songs I wanted the most from Uprising, so I'm pretty much already content with the music selection for the Kid Icarus series. The only other songs I'd want off the top of my head are Lightning Battle and The Lightning Chariot Base.

Oh dear, I totally forgot about that. I will add that anon.

Anyhow, I am still hoping for the Lightning Chariot Base theme.

 

[Oracle_Summon]

Greetings,

♪ Boss Fight 1 //Confirmed for Smash 4!

So! What say you lot?

YES!

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Oh just remembered, a medley like the Uprising Opening would be great.

 

[SmashShadow]

So, Destroyed Skyworld, The Chaos Vortex, and Wrath of the Reset Bomb Forest are all confirmed via Palutena's trailer. I am so hype for this soundtrack. Already 4 of my top 8 have made it in and I know there will be more.

 

[κomıc]

This is almost confirmed right?

Also, "Viridi The Goddess of Nature", "Wrath of the Reset Bomb" and "The Ring of Chaos" (derived from Wrath of Reset Bomb) are ones I also want to see make it in.

My favorite of all of Uprising's soundtrack has to be "Reset Bomb Forest".

My guess is that they're going to combine certain collections into one track as a full Melody.

I don't want Motoi Sakuraba's work to go to waste.

Just added those two to the list. Sorry I did not add them earlier; it has been so long since I have played Kid Icarus: Uprising that I totally forgot what those songs sounded like--and as a result, I did not recognise them at first.

 

[κomıc]

Also, Wish Seed should be added as another great track. There's so many!

Also, Dark Pit's theme isn't totally confirmed. That track heard in the April Direct is called "Ruins of the Temple" which is derived from Dark Pit's theme.

 

[AuraKnight]

Pretty sure the direct song is Dark Pit's theme - Ruins of the Temple doesn't have the drums driving the entire thing.

Anyways, my wishlist is as follows:

Thunder Cloud Temple
Aurum Island
Dark Pit (The flying segment of the chapter, but considering Dark Pit's Theme is already in, this is unlikely)
Hades' Final Battle
Main Theme/HOME
HOME (Viridi) (Less likely; it's not a good battle theme, but it'd make a nice alt track)

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

The Orne theme plays when an Orne is nearby in smash run. You can hear it in the Smash Roundtable.

 

[Admiral Pit]

A Smash Roundtable? I'm curious to see now. May everyone who hasn't play Kid Icarus Uprising feel our pain that the Ornes have given us.

Audio only, but you can very clearly hear the song when Sakurai runs into it. Don't remember when unfortunately.

 

[Admiral Pit]

I'll check it later. I'm too lazy to look a full hour at. D:

 

[Altais]

Just added a new track to the "Confirmed Songs" list:

♪ Inside the Space Pirate Ship (new remix)

Also, I labeled which songs are brand new remixes and which ones are songs taken from the original game.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Yes I was hoping for that song to get in!

 

[ChikoLad]

OH MY GOD THEY REMIXED THE SPACE PIRATE THEME

IM DEAD

IT SOUNDS SO AMAZING

 

[Altais]

Just added yet another song to the "Confirmed" list:

♪ Dark Pit ~Air Battle (original)

Huzzah!! I was hoping this one would make it in. Now, if we can just get Lightning Chariot Base and The Seafloor Palace...

 

[Admiral Pit]

I'm a little late, but shouldn't the Orne theme be in this somewhere due to its appearance in Smash Run? Honestly we gotta find a Smash Run vid with that Orne since the other one up there is now not able to be viewed.

 

[Altais]

Hmm, good point. Yeah, I saw a video of the Orne in Smash Run, too. I also saw a video of a Reaper, which played the Reaper's theme when it spotted the player.

I'll see if I can find a YouTube video playing the themes.

[EDIT] Just added the Orne and Reaper themes to the original post.

 

[Archimedes]

Im still really glad Dark Pit's theme made it in.

 

[relaxedexcorcist]

Lightning Chariot Base is in the game! Skip to 2:27 to hear it.

Also I don't remember which video I saw it in, but Inside the Space Pirate Ship is confirmed to play on Palutena's Temple.

 

[Altais]

Lightning Chariot Base is in the game!

I'll add that to the OP posthaste.

 

[Altais]

Just added three songs to the "Confirmed Songs" list:

♪ Magnus's Theme
♪ Hades's Infernal Theme
♪ Thunder Cloud Temple

Also, every Kid Icarus track from Brawl is returning.

 

[Altais]

Just added a new song to the "Confirmed Songs" list:

♪ Destroyed Skyworld (new remix)

Personally, I think I like the original a little better. Nevertheless, it's a pretty good remix; I really like the vocals.

 

[Altais]

Just added another song to the "Confirmed Songs" list:

♪ Lightning Chariot Base (new remix)

I give this an "H" for...HAMAZING!!
