Super Smash Bros. Melee is a Super Smash Bros. game that was released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001 and 2002 (Japan and North America respectively). It has sold more than seven million copies worldwide and remains one of the best-selling games on the Nintendo Gamecube to date. The opening theme, “Menu,” is claimed by many fans as the best Super Smash Bros. Melee theme song and is often chosen as the Super Smash Bros. Melee theme to be played at high-level tournaments’ openings, such as Genesis 3’s Super Smash Bros. Melee opening and EVO 2016 (although this could be because it plays on Final Destination).
