Trivia[edit]

  • Lasting for a little under five minutes each, Wrath of the Reset Bomb (Original) and Dark Pit are tied for the longest song in the base game of SSB4, and the longest songs in the 3DS version specifically. When DLC is counted, they are beaten by After Burner (∞ Climax Mix) in the Wii U version, which was in turn beaten by Advent: One-Winged Angel for longest song in the series.
  • 3 songs from Kid Icarus: Uprising appear in Palutena's reveal trailer that don't appear in-game; those being Chaos Vortex, the original version of Destroyed Skyworld, and the opening theme from said game.
    • However, the latter song is higher pitched in the trailer, mainly due to the way Boss Fight 1 transitions into said song.
