Tribute to an OST: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Brawl is perhaps one of the most amazing soundtracks in all of video game history. If you are unaware of this, let me explain: Brawl's ost is a mass collection of great Nintendo themes composed by many legendary game composers. There are over 300 songs and more than 30 artists that contributed, including Nobou Uematsu (Final Fantasy), Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts), Yuzo Koshiro (Etrian Odyssey series), Kenji Yamamoto (Metroid series), Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears), Noriyuki Iwadare (Grandia series), Motoi Sakuraba (Tales series), and many others! These composers were asked to choose their favorite Nintendo themes and make their own arrangements. The results are incredible!
I love the SSB games; I've played them all upon their subsequent releases, and I must say that Brawl is my favorite. I understand that Melee is a better game, but Brawl gives you more, and for that it's my favorite in the series. One of those areas is the music: Brawl must have the largest video game soundtrack ever! I've posted here some of my favorite songs from the game and who arranged that particular track. There is no need for comment on each one; the music and composer speaks for itself. We may never see such a huge collaboration of so many VG composers again. Sakurai himself stated, "To have so many of these individuals providing music for a single project may very well be an historic event in the history of video game music!"
