This song is a medley of three tracks from ''Metroid''. It encompasses the background music of Brinstar, as well as the "Game Start" soundbyte that has been used throughout the ''Metroid'' series. It finishes off with the title screen theme from the original game, which has also been used throughout the series. The overall style of the track is synthesized rock with a prominent bassline, though it takes a more atmospheric tone during the "Game Start" and title screen segments. As was the case in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this remix has been abridged in order for the entire loop to be under two minutes; specifically, the reprise of the Brinstar theme and the bridge section before the loop have been cut.

This track is a hard-rock style remix of the music that plays in the Brinstar area of ''Metroid''. It is very similar to a previous remix found in ''Metroid Prime: Pinball'', though with the addition of narration and a chiptune segment ending with the Famicom Disk System Loading Sound. The narration at the beginning says, "Samus is under fire! She sends an emergency directive: Join the fight!". This theme was rearranged by Kenji Yamamoto, composer for various titles of the ''Metroid'' franchise.

This track is a remix of [[Kraid]]'s Lair theme from ''Metroid'', known as "Mini-Boss Hideout I - Kraid" in various soundtracks. The arrangement features an excerpt of "Silence", the music that plays near elevators and Chozo Statues. The overall track is highly synthesized and atmospheric, at one point using samples similar to the original NES soundchip. It goes through two loops, with the second loop adding a drumkit and raising the key by five half steps.

This track is a remix of the music that plays during the escape sequence towards the end of the original ''Metroid'', as well as the Brinstar theme. It begins in a familiar chiptune style, before gradually introducing an orchestra and guitar riffs. This arrangement is based on the original, shortened Famicom Disk System version of the song, rather than its NES iteration which added some additional music not present in the original Japanese release.

This track is a remix of the music that plays during the credits of ''Super Metroid'', done in an orchestral style faithful to the original song. The original theme was an extension of the ''Theme of Super Metroid'' played during the prologue; in subsequent ''Metroid'' titles, that theme has also been referred to as ''Theme of Samus'', as it has been mostly associated with the character of Samus Aran.
