Will Super Smash Bros. Brawl's unused music tracks make it into SSB4?

Recently I watched a Yuriofwind video about the beta elements of Super Smash Bros. Melee, and although being a Nintendo nerd I knew pretty much all of the information in the video anyway, he did bring up an interesting point about some of the beta stages - it's possible that ideas for Akaneia and Mountaintop got worked into Castle Siege and Summit from Brawl. Nintendo has done stuff like this before - for example, apparently the two/three unused dungeons from Wind Waker were used in other Zelda games - so I'm wondering if they'll do it again. Many are speculating if the Forbidden Seven are going to make it into Super Smash Bros. 4, but I haven't heard many people talk about Brawl's unused music, probably because many people don't know about it.

For those unaware, Brawl has 17 different, 100% completed music tracks sitting unused on the game's disc inaccessible to all except hackers. Here is a complete playlist, if you want to listen to them. My favorites are the remix of Beware the Forest's Mushrooms from Super Mario RPG and the AWESOME Ballad of the Windfish remix. Now, here's my question: do you think any of these music tracks are going to be reworked into Smash 4, or will they be lost to the ages, forever drifting in the data files of Super Smash Bros. Brawl? I eagerly await your thoughts.

EDIT: Major correction, the songs actually CANNOT be accessed on the disc, the playlist is but fan interpretation. I'm still leaving up the link though, if you wish to view them.

A major correction is in order here. Those tracks are NOT complete on disc. They have spots in the file structure and names in a sense (depends on where you look; they don't have full and proper naming like the normal tracks), but the tracks are blank on disc. I'm not just saying this as a guess; I've extensively used the music swap codes, and I can tell you that none of those tracks work from direct experience. Of course, from the names people can recognize what they are and find the orignals and/or popular fan remixes, and those are what you find on youtube.

I certainly would like to see those tracks in Smash 4. The remixes were beautifully composed.

Upon further looking into it, your right. Updating immediately.

I can only imagine how good the Hippie Battle music from Mother would go with smash bros. Man I coulda sworn it was in Brawl. Maybe it wasn't included due to it being a blatant ripoff of the song, "Johnny B. Goode"

I don't think that's the case since K.K. Slider has a song that's also a ripoff of Johnny B. Goode and also the hippie song will be included in EarthBound's virtual console release. The song isn't that good though.

Ballad of the Windfish is like the only Zelda song I like. I'd love to see it here.

Well okay, it's up there with Gerudo Valley and Dragon Roost.

So basically those songs aren't really unused tracks in the SSBB disc and that they're just fan remixes? They're…fake?

I can see some of the left out EarthBound/Mother tracks and Ballad of the Windfish make it in, but I don't expect them to.

No.
Instead every music track will be replaced with Environmental Noises.
Every
single
ONE.

But being serious, I could see it happening.

You could ask the same thing about other unused content in previous installments, including Brawl. Will they be put in? Who knows?

Each subsequent installment seems to have implemented ideas that Sakurai could not implement before, it seems.
