===[[Music]] hacks===
Music hacks feature the replacement of music tracks and replacing them with tracks that the user prefers to use in the game. Custom music was popularized by GHNeko (one of the main developers of ''[[Brawl+]]''), who made a video displaying various stages with custom music, although it was done with a modified ISO. Eventually, Phantom Wings continued his file replacement code used for textures to incorporate music (the first post about it can be seen [http://board.gscentral.org/showthread.php?t=30533#22 here]). Initially difficult for some users to understand, due to the required use of a .brstm file and necessitating music to loop in an acceptable or desired manner, fellow hacker Bionic Sonic created a tool that required considerably less hacking and editing from the end user's part. The hacker Dantarion [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu-IT_-ULXc&annotation_id=annotation_781800&feature=iv  later improved on this method].

Music files do not solely represent the songs played on the menu or stages. They also represent the [[fanfare]] of a character. The files follow a chronological trend, and in this case, the files are named Y(XX).
In Brawl, [[Unused content (SSBB)|leftover music data]] appears in the form of empty music and fanfare files. For the fanfare files, through the use of cheat codes created by Dantarion, it is possible to give characters their own individual fanfares (though one must also provide one for it to work). In SSB4, the ability to do so returns. The process is much simpler, though as stated above, they will need a file for that fanfare.
