Origin

Opening is an original piece of music for Super Smash Bros. Melee, and forms the basis for the game's main theme. Part of the track has been derived from the track Butter Building from the Kirby game Kirby's Adventure. Also, the opening notes of the main theme bear a resemblance to the credits music from the original Star Fox. Many other music tracks in Melee are remixes of Opening.

Usage

This track plays when Melee's Opening Sequence plays, prior to the title screen.
