Super Smash Bros. has incredible music, and plenty of it. It's no wonder, then, that the game's legions of fans have been playing around with it. There are countless remixes, covers, and chopped and screwed versions of Smash songs online already, with more undoubtedly to come. Here are some of our favorites.

Let me know if I missed any good ones, or if you have your own piece of Smash music you'd like to throw into the ring as well!
