A '''victory theme''', sometimes referred to as a '''flourish''', or a '''fanfare''' in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], [[Super Smash Bros. 4]], & [[Super Smash Bros Ultimate.]]'', is a short, recognizable melody that plays at the [[Results screen]] after a character wins a [[Vs. match]] or other similar events such as a [[Tourney]]. For instance, at the Results screen after [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Peach]], [[Yoshi]], [[Wario]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Daisy]], & [[Dr. Mario]] win a match, an orchestral cover of the fanfare played at the end of each level in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' ‘’[[Yoshi’s Story]]’’ ‘’[[WarioWare Inc.]]’’ & ‘’[[Donkey Kong Country]]’’ play. Characters from the same universe share victory themes, though there are several characters with distinct victory themes separate from their respective universes. ''Brawl'' introduced a distinct victory theme for {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. ''SSB4'' introduced distinct victory themes for {{SSB4|Rosalina & Luma}} and {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} and a shared distinct victory theme for {{SSB4|Bowser}} and {{SSB4|Bowser Jr.}}, which is later used by {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} in ''Ultimate''. ''Ultimate'' introduced distinct victory themes for {{SSBU|King K. Rool}} and {{SSBU|Corrin}}, a shared distinct victory theme for {{SSBU|Ridley}} and {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}, and another shared distinct victory theme for {{SSBU|Robin}} and {{SSBU|Lucina}}.

This flourish is a cover of the short track that plays in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'' and subsequent games whenever a playable Kong like Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong defeated a boss or completed a bonus game.

This victory theme is based upon the main theme of ''Star Fox 64'', most specifically the title screen theme. It also shares similarities with the music that would play in that game when Team Star Fox completed a level, as that track was also based on the main theme.

This flourish is ripped directly from ''{{iw|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog|2006 video game}}'', which itself is an orchestrated remix of the tune that plays when a character like Sonic & Tails have passed an Act in ''{{s|wikipedia|Sonic the Hedgehog 3}}''. Thus far, it is the only flourish in the series to be directly ported from a non-''Smash'' game. In ''Ultimate'', the tempo is slightly faster and the ending is slightly abridged.
