::Hmm, so things are still muddled. My first thought is that maybe it was an oversight, but then track 5 credits both Ando and Sakai. Ah well. --[[User:NinjaCoachZ|NinjaCoachZ]] ([[User talk:NinjaCoachZ|talk]]) 14:22, 31 July 2015 (EDT) | ::Hmm, so things are still muddled.

:::My only guess is that the arrangements for this album were in fact not identical to the ones used for recording the game audio itself, and that's where some tracks may have gotten mixed and matched between the various composers. I don't have proof for that, though.

Hey, so while I couldn't find anything for the other two songs from Smashing Live, I think the Fourside mystery's been officially solved. In [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/19949302/Misc/smashbros-trans.txt this translated interview from the Japanese Melee site], between Sakurai and the musicians of the game, it's confirmed that Fourside/EarthBound was indeed arranged by Hirokazu Ando. And even though we knew them already, Sakai also confirms his credits for Peach's Castle, Brinstar, Brinstar Depths, Dr. Mario, and Onett. Funnily enough, toward the interview Sakurai does semi-seriously suggest performing a Smash Bros. concert. Perhaps that was the basis for Smashing Live! --[[User:NinjaCoachZ|NinjaCoachZ]] ([[User talk:NinjaCoachZ|talk]]) 16:14, 8 August 2015 (EDT) | Hey, so while I couldn't find anything for the other two songs from Smashing Live, I think the Fourside mystery's been officially solved.

Tragic news. Kenichi Okuma [https://mynintendonews.com/2022/07/26/super-smash-bros-composer-kenichi-okuma-has-passed-away/ has recently passed away] from cancer. I'm sorry to hear about his passing. We'll never forget him and the three tracks he made for ''Brawl'', which would later return in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate''.
