Origin
Wrath of the Reset Bomb is a dramatic orchestral suite of the piece of the same name from Kid Icarus: Uprising, which plays during 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, it will become desynchronized if the game is paused or the gameplay speed is altered.
