Main Theme (Metroid) (メインテーマ (メトロイド)) is a metal arrangement of the Brinstar theme that first appeared as the background music in Metroid Prime Pinball. It was arranged by Kenji Yamamoto.
It later found its way into Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Norfair stage with an 8-bit section and narration by Jay Ward added, much like Opening/Menu (Metroid Prime). He says: "Samus is under fire. She's sent an emergency directive: Join the fight!" Unlike Opening/Menu (Metroid Prime), this narration does not appear to have borrowed text from other sources. In Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, it briefly plays before the fight with Ridley in The Research Facility (Part II), but without the narrator.
The song returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Trivia
- Despite being titled "Main Theme" by the Super Smash Bros. series, the Brinstar theme is not actually considered the main theme of the Metroid series. Instead, a six-note leitmotif from Title (Metroid) serves as the series's central theme.
