If there were more substance, this could easily be ranked higher. Such a shame it's so short compared to something like Battle: Neksdor, or at least it feels that way. Just a tiny bit higher than Greenhorne for being more upbeat. That vocal is so smooth I barely noticed it when I first heard it. It really gets you pumped up for the rest of the game, and it lets you know right away that this game's gonna be good. When I first played the game, this song was my favorite up until at least the Dark Lord. It's basically defining itself to be inferior to the true final boss theme A necessary "evil." Being worse isn't mutually a bad thing, though. (Grouping these together for being basically the same.) Again, it's another song that serves its purpose really well, and I couldn't imagine it any other way, but that's just it. Boss: The Dark Lord / Boss: The Dark Lord's Wrath.It just doesn't feel very Miitopian to me. The huge amount of synthesizers wasn't enough to trick me to ranking it higher, though. This song does its job of being the most intensive of the Boss trilogy. Probably the least memorable of all the area battle themes, though. Anyway, the standards were set a bit too high early on by Battle: Greenhorne for this tune to be jaw-dropping, even though it is pretty good. Good ol' Miitopia philosophy: Take a cliche video game trope (Arabian desert music), and exaggerate it. I'd probably rank this equally with the next one.Īnother solid battle theme. Perhaps it could've been better if it focused more on the whimsical aspect of a fantastical forest than trying to be a tense battle theme. Whimsical and makes you feel under pressure. The whole song conveys a feeling of confusion and eventfulness. The random dubstep at the end is actually kind of funny. Those synthesizer passages are easily the best parts. Exaggeratedly tense, goofy, and pretty catchy, and also s y n t h e s i z e r s. I find this one to be a bit overrated (I think other battle themes are far more worthy to be put into Smash Ultimate than this), but there aren't really any flaws with it.

But there's just not too much noteworty about it. The use of the xylophone made this one a lot more memorable than it would have been without it. I like the New Lumos instruments sprinkled throughout it, though.Ī solid battle theme. For some reason, it also feels kind of out-of-place in Miitopia, almost like it belongs in another game entirely. However, it's the most slow-paced out of all of the battle themes, which is great for what it's building up to in-game, but not what I come back to the Miitopia OST to listen to. (The only difference between these is their intros, so I grouped them together.) A lot of people like these themes, and I can see why.

I'm excluding the dynamic variants of the songs, such as "Your turn," to keep this list short and varied. There are 19 unique battle songs, including the boss themes.
