==Main Theme (Metroid)==
===Origin===
===Origin===
A rock-based remix of the most oftenly recurring piece of music in the ''[[Metroid (universe)|Metroid]]'' franchise, first debuting in the [[Brinstar]] area of the [[nwiki:NES|NES]] game ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]''. This track is one of the few pieces in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' to feature vocals (in this instance by Jay Ward). These vocals are "Samus is under fire! She's sent an emergency directive: Join the fight!" Otherwise, the track is very similar to the track's incarnation in ''Metroid Prime Pinball'' on the Pirate Frigate table.

This track is an arrangement of two music pieces featured in ''Metroid Prime''. The first sub-track is the title screen theme with the second sub-track being the credits theme, which itself is an extended version of the title screen music. The title screen music is a direct port of the OST, with vocals by Jay Ward added on top (who this time says "In the reaches of space, below the surface of [[Planet Zebes]], Samus Aran faced the Space Pirates. She destroyed their operation, wiped out the parasites called Metroids, and defeated Mother Brain. But the Pirates were far from finished", which is similar to a quote in the instruction booklet of ''Metroid Prime''). The credits theme is slightly altered and remixed, however.
