These two themes are arranged very similarly to their original counterparts in ''EarthBound'', with slightly higher tempo and more prominent brass in the ''Onett Theme'' segment. The beginning of the ''Onett Theme'' segment also includes a brief portion of ''Pollyanna (I Believe in You)'' from ''EarthBound Beginnings'', which also plays in ''EarthBound'' when Ness steps out of Pokey's home into Onett after the game's prologue.

Itoi. A rendition of the song appears in Earthbound inside Ness's house, and in Mother 3 near the end of the game when the party takes a boat ride through the Hall of Memories inside Porky's Empire Porky Building, as they pass items from the previous game.

This track is a medley of music tracks from EarthBound Beginnings, otherwise known as Mother. The main track is Bein' Friends, the theme that plays when Ninten has one partner accompanying him.

This track is a light, calming remix of the music that would play in the Snowman town in EarthBound Beginnings. This track also played in EarthBound and Mother 3, and it was remixed on the Mother 3+ album. The Smash incarnation of this track, which debuted in Brawl, is essentially a direct port of how the track sounded in said album, being a pan flute-led arrangement with acoustic and bass guitar, though with choir vocals added at the beginning.

Origin[edit]

As its name implies, this song is a remix of two themes in EarthBound: the music that plays as Ness explores Onett, and the music that plays when Jeff escapes his dormitory in Winters (which itself is an arrangement of EarthBound Beginnings's Snowman theme). These two themes are arranged very similarly to their original counterparts in EarthBound, with slightly higher tempo and more prominent brass in the Onett Theme segment. The beginning of the Onett Theme segment also includes a brief portion of Pollyanna (I Believe in You) from EarthBound Beginnings, which also plays in EarthBound when Ness steps out of Pokey's home into Onett after the game's prologue.

Origin[edit]

Returning from Super Smash Bros. Melee for the first time, this track is a techno-based remix of Fourside. Like the Ultimate remix, it also incorporates the Eight Melodies, as well as the sliding synth melody heard in caves and dark areas throughout EarthBound. Unlike the Ultimate arrangement, this version is ambient and somewhat psychedelic, featuring prominent synths and pads, as well as acoustic guitar and flute. In Melee, this track was simply titled "EarthBound".

This piece is a remix of the piece "Smiles and Tears" from EarthBound. Like EarthBound Beginnings before it, EarthBound requires Ness to collect Eight Melodies throughout the story; "Smiles and Tears" was the rendition of these Eight Melodies that played over EarthBound's staff credits. The song is remixed as a upbeat ballad with focus on piano, brass, and muted electric guitar. This particular remix also features EarthBound Beginnings's Eight Melodies in the second verse.

The Mother 3 Love Theme track, taken directly from Brawl, originally played in Mother 3 during the prologue, and was also remixed a few times throughout the game, serving as a main theme of sorts. It is a somewhat melancholy ballad with prominent guitar and keyboard sections. In Mother 3, this track was called Mom's Hometown, with the last verse being called Mother 3 Love Theme. This track also has a short remix implemented into it of the music that played as Hinawa died in the same game. This song was rearranged by its original composer, Shogo Sakai.

This track is a remix of the music that played in the New Pork City area of Mother 3, which in itself is a remix of His Highness' Theme, known in Brawl as Porky's Theme, also featuring small excerpts of The Pig King's Playroom and Theme of King P. The theme begins as an orchestra march that incorporates more techno elements as it progresses, as well as a short jazzy interlude.

Origin[edit]

This track is a remixed arrangement of two music tracks in Mother 3, those being His Highness' Theme and LOG-O-TYPE. Taken directly from Brawl, this track is most similar to the His Highness's Theme portion of the "From Utopia" track and the LOG-O-TYPE portion of the "Tazmily is the Stage" track on the iTunes-exclusive album Mother 3i. The overall piece is reminiscent of a military march with heavy focus on brass. In Mother 3, this track usually played in the Pigmask Army's presence; the name of this track stems from the Pigmasks' allegiance to Porky Minch. This song was rearranged by its original composer, Shogo Sakai.
