The VGM community presents: The Ultimate Smash Medley! Everyone poured their hearts into this, so please subscribe to AT LEAST one new channel that you heard and enjoyed! It would mean a lot

Wow! Incredible!

this legit made me tear up at how good it all is, wow

5 months after the release of this medley and I still can't get over the transition from Steve to Sephiroth. It's just too good

Seeing the Minecraft village burned down by Sethiroth gave me fear LMAO What an amazing performance from EVERYBODY! Love this so much, really awesome work :D

This is so epic!! So many iconic remixers and musicians

ACTUAL GRANT KIRKHOPE SHOWING UP FOR THE BANJO KAZOOIE BIT IS GOATED

The cut from Steve to Sephiroth was brilliant

20:36 That transition is amazing, the just the thought of Sephiroth setting a Minecraft village on fire...

Thank you so much for inviting me, I'd love to be part of s big project like this again!!!

I feel like Sakurai really needs to see this to understand what a true legend he is.

Can’t believe you got Grant himself for Banjo’s part! Also, the Melee callback in Lifelight was very clever.

AHHHHHHHH THIS CAME OUT SO GOOD!!!!

Super grateful to have gotten to be a part of this 🙏❤️ Everyone did a phenomenal job!!

Everyone was Great on this! But damn this part 10:43 feels like I got a shot of Adrenaline and I love it!

That rendition of Lifelight at the end gave me chills. What an amazing tribute to an amazing game 🙏

This entire medley does such a great job at celebrating what Smash Ultimate was always meant to be, a celebration of gaming as a whole; every single person involved in this masterpiece did an AMAZING job! (Still can't believe you got Grant Kirkhope and Pascal) Ending this off with Lifelight was a very good decision, the realization of how far Smash has gotten started to hit VERY hard during it, this medley's Lifelight rendition is also absolutely incredible (shoutouts to the Mii Plaza arrangement at 13:51 for both sounding great and including Megalovania, the Sans Costume and its reveal are still some of the funniest parts of Ultimate)

Damn, that transition at 22:44 to the Melee theme was AMAZING

Incredible!!!!

There's something brilliant about bringing so many music creators together to collaborate in celebration of a franchise that has bringing characters from all corners of the video game world together.

Loved seeing what the community is capable of, such a diverse amount of instrumentation and arrangement styles. Super awesome!

I love this, and it helps me imagine different interpretations Mario - on-brand simplicity given Italian herbs and spices DK - Primal Power Pushing forward Link - the village kid just started his quest PS Samus - triumphant space music Dark Samus - antihero vibes Yoshi - happy raptors having a great time dancing in the mountains Kirby - primitive, childlike innocence, but still capable of unseen doom Fox - flying out for a mission Pikachu - Red is like 22 and takes his pikachu with him to go do adulthood with his friends and it's cool Luigi - overshadowed, yet with beautiful Italiano Overtones Ness - probably just some comfy kid doing normal wacky stuff Falcon - drifting like he's jealous of eurobeat Jigglypuff - surprisingly intense! Peach - fancy without going too ancient Daisy - outgoing, extroverted, and bouncy! Bowser - less of a rageful piece, but maybe he's just the big tough Koopa overlord who likes smoking his opponents literally and yeeting hammers Ice Climber - A chill yet on-your-toes mix, like you might be climbing an icy mountain. Sheik - Really gives off a sharp and daring vibe, adding to the mystery that-- Zelda - she's completely trustworthy, and wants you to be ok. Dr. Mario - bouncy, but still feels like an actual doctor's office tune Pichu - a lot like the pikachu, but feels more energetic and wild. Falco - a different take on the same duties Marth - combat-ready warrior Lucina - similar, yet more elegant in performance Young Link - feels like happy 90s rock, which he'd probably listen to Ganondorf - ominous. Mewtwo - given the anger of this artifice, it really shows here, as does his sheer output. Roy - feels like a rather intense struggle above fatal drop distance Chrom - feels like a little more happy of a quest G&W - simple, but also sneakily overlooked Meta Knight - edgy attacker being mysterious! Pit - feels somewhat biblical! Dark Pit - feels like a mustsche twirl of an adversary! ZSS - a lot more dangerous of a mission with a lot of baggage. Kinda like actually! Wario - absolutely gamer music by game dev who smells like garlic, remixed by best Scissorheaded Musician. Snake - feels like the intro to a crime drama about a spy. Kinda as if that's somewhat the idea Ike - feels much more like he trained in seclusion Pokémon Trainer - Red finally stepped to the gym scene Diddy - a little monkey just doing his best, and he's comfy. Lucas - feels super capitalistic and like a cash grab, which kinda fits the things thay happened to his world! I like it Sonic - a chill hedgehog, who can still outpace anyone, but doesn't always feel like he has to Dedede - an angry penguin who wanted his order 5 minutes ago!! Olimar - enjoys gardening too much to care, and it's rather cute and funny Lucario - Dawn is stuck on the elevator with her lucario and a latte. ROB - "The machines rose from the ashes of the nuclear fire, and they wanted to play." Toon Link - so joyous and energetic it feels almost exaggerated like a cartoon Wolf - Vengeance on the mind. Why? I don't know. Villager - a comfy, jazzy home, and he's ready to take out the trash Mega Man - a synthetic kid about to throw down with his plasma-powered hands for justice almost like a movie score Wii Fit Trainer - it feels almost like it's a workout routine that they made into the song. Rosalina - free feeling. able to jet across the universe is fun, I'd bet!! Little Mac - a boxer coming back to train, knowing he's got a score to settle and this could be it. Greninja - a trainer enters the big time gyms Mii - feels like a festive celebration! Palutena - feels like she's upset or worried about something Pac-Man - the holy yellow orb descended from the gods to get lunch Robin - feels like he's about to defeat a new threat Shulk - he's REALLY feeling it. Bowser Jr. - the perfect chaotic kid energy Duck Hunt - nice metal for hunting by Ryu - he seems sad or reluctant about something, perhaps it's Ken - zipping in to fight! Cloud - this feels like how I'd imagine Advent Children Cloud feels walking into PS1 Midgar Corrin - feels like a bittersweet prayer before battle Bayonetta - funky as funk Inklings - i think if a splation pizza party Ridley - Ridley, with a beanie, coffee, glasses, and yet still gonna zap ya Simon Belmont - He knows who doesn't belong in this world. Richter Belmont - He doesn't like when souls are stolen, and maken slaves. K Rool - evolved from pirates to contraband sellers Isabelle - a cute secretary who has had enough of her day job Incineroar - tropical torching tackles Plant - sounds like a real funky flower that I'd be down with anytime Joker - you may never see it coming, this jazz is no joke. Hero - feels truly like a heroic tale of old Banjo n Kazooie - a jolly ol' time with Dad on kazoo apparently! Terry - A real pounding of muscle that reminds me of Guts Man Byleth - anime tropes at this point, eh? Min Min - well yeah. Steve - builds a real foundation, literally Sephiroth - doing a planetary worldender a service Mythra n Pyra - pretty lighthearted romp around for two neat companions Kazuya - ANGER. He's gonna take the Hashima name with him to the grave. Waluigi*, who feels like a Disney character. nice Lifelight - POWERFUL. This was really the ultimate tribute, wasn't it?

That collaboration of voices yelling "SUPER SMAAAAAASH BROS" at the end might just be the greatest thing I've seen all year.

Dude this is INSANELY IMPRESSIVE!

The last bit, with the AMAZING Lifelight arrangement and everyone saying "Super Smash Brothers" at the end, gave me chills! Great work to everyone who worked so hard on this! The entire medley is so cool!

22:24 most people admire the singing, but i admire the sheer amount of amiibos.

That was phenomenal! AMAZING job to everyone involved ^^ and that finale was so amazingly arranged oh man

8:05 that transition from brawl to meta knight was awesome!

So happy I got to take part in this! It turned out great!

Just noticed something World of Light is where you have to rescue everyone else from Galeem (Light) and Dharkron (Darkness). The true ending is where you need to balance the two. Isn't that the plot of Kingdom Hearts?

seeing Grant kirkhope himself join in on a kazoo for banjo Kazooie tho

INSANE!! such a good job!! Loved seeing Grant Kirkhope there 💕

When it said "Thank You, Satoru Iwata" it felt like a punch in the gut.

This is my first time seeing this, and I’m gonna say this: THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MEDLEYS I HAVE EVER SEEN/HEARD IN MY LIFE. The amount of effort and passion that went into this is just incredible beyond words, and everyone absolutely did a fantastic job contributing to this epic project. Not to mention the transitions are absolutely clean as hell, and the transition between Steve and Sephiroth has got to be my favorite. I have nothing much to say, this is just epic. Too epic for words! Masterpiece!!!

This was seriously SUCH an honor to be a part of, I cannot believe how many people are in this! You guys did a FANTASTIC job coordinating a medley to this scale and caliber, you deserve all the kudos!!

16:27 I sobbed at Corrin’s theme. It was beautiful

Ok, that "3 years" joke with pit was GENIUS! As was having Scruffy do the Pikmin part, he deserved that more than anyone else.

#23-24 Ganondorf into Mewtwo, insane synergy there, transitioned so well. I wish there was an entire victory road song of its own like this!

It was such an honour to be a part of this experience! Everyone here seriously brought their A-game and it shows! Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this! And also a standing ovation for the stellar editing work as well the arrangement for us to work with!

Holy crap, this is amazing!! Everyone did an awesome job!

16:18 i dont know about u, but let the battles begin, it suprisingly fitting for this fight animation. Well done!

absolutely an honour to be a part of this! everyone here is amazingly talented and it’s so cool to see it all come together 🥰🥰🥰

thrilled to be a part of this! seeing everything in context gave me chills, loved experiencing it with everyone!

Ok the whole thing was phenomenal but that ending where they all intoned "SUPER... SNAAAAAASH BROTHERSSSSSSSS" absolutely gave me chills. Excellent.

The Banjo-Kazzoie part with Grant Kirkhope was amazing. I'm crying. 😢

What a journey!

I think it took me more time to write down each contributor to add to my subscription list than to listen to this awesome collab. I look forward to explore each and every one of these musicians.

Dude, fuck man, this was beautiful. Absolutely jawdropping what this series has become in 22 years. I never ever anticipated Grant Kirkhope in this and that made my day. Absolute nuts. Smash is hype.

One of the coolest things I've ever been a part of! Great job Noteblock and everyone!

I actually got some of the strongest goosebumps during the Lifelight portion and especially at the end there. All I can say is… Wow.

I thought nothing could make this better, then I saw Grant Kirkhope playing a Kazoo.

I would love to see full length renditions of EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE! They're all soo good!

The Ultimate tribute to the Ultimate Video Game Crossover! I loved it!

What is this, a crossover episode? Thanks so much for having me be a part of this, everyone did an amazing job

Okay but that transition from Steve to Sephiroth was brilliant lmao But this made me really happy

I love how Ridleys, the most brutal out of all of them, is one of the calmest ones, but this was amazing it even gave me shivers !

Thanks for having me, such a cool project, huge props to everyone involved!

such an epic collab and monumental undertaking this was amazing to be a part of!! Thank you so much for having me!!!

im a little late to the party, but this was a great conclusion to the series everyone knows and loves. thank you, smash bros. keeping people happy for 20 years and more.

0:20 super mario, tator tot tunes 0:34 Donkey kong, Shane Stewart 0:49 Botw Link, andy ru 1:04 samus beat drop, robo rob 1:23 into dark samus, kamex 1:41 yoshi :), orenji music 1:57 kirby

Thanks for getting me involved with this incredibly ambitious project! You've done an amazing job making everything cohesive and polished, just amazing work!

All the songs look like you'd find them in Mario Kart for some reason.

I cried on Lifelight. Legitimately. Sakurai made by far one of the best video game series of all time, and this medley encompasses his work flawlessly. This was incredible. Thank you so much NoteBlock, everyone that worked on this beautifully crafted piece of art, Nintendo, who allowed Sakurai to start his project in the first place, Sakurai, who made the impossible possible, and Fusajiro Yamauchi, the man who started the Nintendo company in the first place. Rest in peace Yamauchi, and thank you Nintendo and Sakurai for making one of the greatest video game series of all time, and that is an undisputable FACT.

That was fn baller, great work to everyone involved and thanks for having me! Truly an honor to be part of such an amazing community

I just love how the music suddenly drops into Minecraft, then cuts to Sephiroth burning down the entire fuckin' village. Also props for getting official composers onto the collab!

It was an absolute pleasure to work on this! I am impressed with how quickly this whole thing was turned out with how top it is. The animations are rad, the musicians are incredible, the medley is amazing, and the community all co.ing together! It was cool to see so many friends on this, and also cool to find new fellas to check out. I especially loved the ending. Lifelight was incredible, and then the credit sequence. I'm am super honored that you had me on this masterpiece. ...also, if I shoot all the credits, do I REALLY unlock Toad this time?

The Melee medley from the actual disc has nothing on this. This is amazing and so much fun!

This is fantastic! It's so beautiful to see every part connects with each other. I've looked up to a lot of musicians in this project far before I started doing my own music, so it's a HUGE honor to be able to work with everyone! Thank you so much! Everybody did such a great job 💜

I'm very grateful to have joined SO many talent musicians. Would 100% do it again. Great job everyone!!

All the songs were incredible but damn that Lifelight ending was truly something else.

Having the original composer of Banjo Kazooie in your video put a smile to my face. Amazing video.

It was an honor to be a part of this! Everyone in this community is so talented

That epic Lifelight Finale. I M P E C C A B L E It's basically the same as the Mario medley but its Smash and has 20 more additional people jumping into the train.

The 16 hit combo reference in Lucas' part is unnecessary detail, and I love it Edit: (I know I'm late to edit this comment, but) Thank You Artsi Omni for replying to my Comment!

Such an honor to be part of this, among all these amazing musicians. Awesome work, everybody!

This is absolutely BONKERS (yeah I used it because this is SO FREAKIN GOOD)! Everyone's parts were so amazing and the transitions were *chef's kiss*. I was already tearing up, but I absolutely lost it when you blended Lifelight into the Melee opening at 22:35! That hit me right in the feels

This game... This medley... Represents videogames as a whole. Thank you. All of you.

Such a pleasure to be part of this with so many friends and amazing musicians!!

It's been almost a year since I screamed super smash brothers, looking back at this I am glad to say I've learned how to actually grow and upkeep facial hair. I've also bought a house since then. Thanks for the memories noteblock.

I may have had a little contribution to this collab but this was honest amazing great job and I’m so exited for the more content you will create in the future!

So honored to have been apart of this, everyone put so much love into it and it really shows! 💚

Raise a glass to you, Evy. To many more years of friendship and fun times. Thank you for this and allowing me to be in it, Yoga, blue dresses and all. This is a monumental occasion and truly a beacon on the internet. Well done, my true Squiddo.

What a beautiful and bittersweet close to a game series that brought my friends and me together. This community, in all its toxicity, is also one of the best ive ever been a part of. Seeing this compilation of everything, the whole legacy that Masahiro Sakurai made, its a truly wonderful thing, and i sincerely hope he is allowed to take a break finally, after being stressed by Nintendo for so long, i hope he finally gets his much needed and much deserved rest.

Was an honor to participate in this. We were popping off at every part with the performers during the premiere! Can't overstate the amount of talent on board here!

Combining all of the smash songs across all the games made me shed a tear this was so beutiful

This was such an awesome piece to be a part of and the final product is something I won't forget! Thank you to Noteblock for the amazing organisation and to all the other talented folks who made this a masterpiece!

I'd die for full versions of so many of these

This was absolutely beautiful! It really warms my heart to, not only see really talented musicians come together to make this astonishingly, wonderful, piece, (that also brought back a lot of nostalgic Smash memories.) But most importantly, you added in the 2 most important people who made this series possible as a thanks! (Mr. Iwata and of course Mr. Sakurai.) 😊❤ All in all Excellent work!

The Steve to Sephiroth transition is literally perfect

18:00 not only is the transition phenomenal, those guitar riffs need to be studied 🔥

A true honor and pleasure to participate to this amazing project 🤘♥️

It’s funny seeing the duck hunt guy absolutely kill it with duck hunt of all characters.

love how the entire montage for snake is just a zooming in picture of a real life box placed in a very odd way

Many thanks for having me. This was such amazing to be a part of. Everyone did a great job

Grant Kirkhope himself. That absolute legend. Well done on this. The whole thing was great. :D

Thank you so so much for organizing this!!! You created a great community and seeing the finished product feels awesome ❤🦑🐙❤

words CANNOT express how good this is - the talent, the sheer talent this has cannot go understated, I truly believe this is the greatest vg remix of all time and that nothing will ever top this. Ever.

That transition into Kazuya’s theme was GODLY

When youtube recommendations says “you haven’t watched this yet right?” (Still get chills watching this a year later)

I've probably watched this over ten times and I keep tearing up at the thank you screen. Thank you, everyone involved in Smash Bros, for making a game that brings SO many together. It took a lot of work to get the last fighter into the game, but as someone, who despite playing thousands of games to completion, can vehemently state his favorite series is Kingdom Hearts, that last fighter was for me, and for people like me, and to this day I have and will continue to hold the lengths you went through for us. So Thank you, Nintendo, Sakurai, Iwata (we miss you), and everyone else. For making... well, a dream come true. Mine.
