Lifelight

is a song composed by Hideki Sakomoto. It is the main theme of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and has different versions.
== Creation and development ==
Masahiro Sakurai, the director of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate wrote the lyrics, requesting his fans not to dwell on the song as it "sort of breaks the illusion". Erina Koga accepted Hideki Sakamoto's invitation to work together regardless of not knowing the details of the job.
When Sakomoto submitted his first draft to Sakurai; he asked Sakomoto to be more orchestral, turning out that Sakurai wanted it to be a song. Sakomoto struggled to achieve a more orchestral piece until he came up with a melody at midnight and saved it on his computer.
Six months before the final recording, the song was on a high key. Sakurai wanted to adjust the key higher to make an impact. However, Koga cannot pitch the last high note. Koga practiced pitching the note and was able to successfully achieve it.
Abby Trott auditioned for the Cup of Tea Productions having no clue what the audition was for. During the first round, she posted her singing demo. At the second round, she sang a requested song, but it was not Lifelight. She cried when she realized what the project was about, being a Nintendo fan for a long-time. She stated that being part of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was "really special".

English=
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light
On that day, when the sky fell away
Our world came to an end
In our eyes, did a fading sun rise in the dark?
Glimmering shadows
Silence grows, in the spaces between
stretching out beyond time
Rising up, as a chorus of souls find a voice
flickering through the void
These little sparks, cling on to life,
everyone caught in the struggle,
And then the storms of change, they fan the flames
scattering ashes to the wind
Every soul contains a whisper of light
gleaming faintly as it dwindles from sight
No escape, no greater fate to be made
In the end, the chains of time will not break
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light
As fate spins a thread without end,
new life draws its first breath,
Blossoming in a soil reclaimed from the past,
where destiny holds fast,
Here where we stand, hand clenched in hand
everyone caught in the struggle,
This is the day we finally find our way
stepping into our tomorrow
Every soul contains a whisper of light
growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you, on your way to the ultimate fight
Every soul contains a whisper of light
growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you, on your way to the ultimate fight
