A '''Victory Theme''', which can also be called a '''Flourish''' is a short, recognisable melody, usually remixed, that is played in conjunction with a character from the same universe as the victory theme wins a [[Vs. match]], or another similar event, such as [[Tournament mode|Tourney]] victory. For instance, if the character [[Mario]] were to win the match, an orchestral remix of a soundbyte from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' will play out. All characters par {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} share one flourish across their respective universes, so in the aforementioned instance, [[Luigi]], [[Peach]] and [[Bowser]] share the same flourish as Mario. Thus, if one of these characters other than Mario were to win, the same victory theme will still play. | A '''Victory Theme''', which can also be called a '''Flourish''' is a short, recognisable melody, usually remixed, that is played in conjunction with a character from the same universe as the victory theme wins a [[Vs. match]], or another similar event, such as [[Tournament mode|Tourney]] victory.

Revision as of 11:20, April 27, 2012
A Victory Theme, which can also be called a Flourish is a short, recognisable melody, usually remixed, that is played in conjunction with a character from the same universe as the victory theme wins a Vs. match, or another similar event, such as Tourney victory. For instance, if the character Mario were to win the match, an orchestral remix of a soundbyte from Super Mario Bros. will play out. All characters par Meta Knight share one flourish across their respective universes, so in the aforementioned instance, Luigi, Peach and Bowser share the same flourish as Mario. Thus, if one of these characters other than Mario were to win, the same victory theme will still play.
