Origin[edit]
Wrath of the Reset Bomb is a dramatic orchestral suite of the piece of the same name from Kid Icarus: Uprising, which plays during the Air Battle section of Chapter 12, "Wrath of the Reset Bomb", and serves as Viridi's character theme. This song was rearranged by its original composer, Yuzo Koshiro. The song begins exactly like the original, using the same first half heard at the start of the Air Battle segments of Chapters 12 and 18, but after it finishes, it crescendos into a new second half that's not found in the original nor any of the other soundtracks in Uprising. When played on Reset Bomb Forest, the music syncs up with the narrative of the stage—reaching a crescendo when Viridi drops the Reset Bomb and looping to the start when the stage returns to normal—though unlike Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, it will become desynchronized if the game is paused or the gameplay speed is altered.

Origin[edit]
A remix of the music played in Kid Icarus Uprising during the Land Battle section of Chapter 20: "Palutena's Temple", where (as the song title implies) Skyworld was ravaged by Underworld forces while Palutena was under the Chaos Kin's influence. Where the original theme originally used a solo horn and trumpet for the melody, the remix instead features a female vocalist, otherwise retaining its similar solemn orchestration. The female vocals are inspired by a similar short arrangement featured in the song "The Ring of Chaos", the Air Battle section of Chapter 18, during which Viridi presents to Pit the ruins of Skyworld, as well as Palutena appearing as a hologram, expressing her change of heart and attacking Pit.

Trivia[edit]
- Kid Icarus has fewer tracks in Ultimate than in Super Smash Bros. 4, as two tracks featured in previous titles do not return:
- Wrath of the Reset Bomb - Original version
- Dark Pit - Original version
- Both of these tracks only appeared in Smash Run previously.
- The Kid Icarus series is the only fighter-represented franchise to not gain any new remixes and cut songs from previous entries.
- Kid Icarus is one of the four non-DLC universes to not have its music be used in Spirit Battles outside of its universe, followed by EarthBound, Game & Watch, and Wario.
