Origin[edit]This song is a medley of three tracks from Metroid. It encompasses the background music of Brinstar, as well as the 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.
