About
Smash Ultimate Trailer Remixes refer to edits of a trailer for the upcoming video game Super Smash Brothers Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch which add various popular songs to create the trailer's backing music.
Origin
On November 11th, 2018, the "'Everyone Is Here' Banner Comes to Life" trailer for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate was released. It was posted by GameXplain and gained over 370,000 views in one day (shown below). Of note, there was no music accompanying the action of the trailer.
Spread
The lack of music inspired creators to add various songs to the trailer. One of the first examples was posted by Twitter user @GGaiKingDGreat, who added the music from Super Smash Brothers Melee, gaining over 1,400 retweets and 1,500 likes (shown below, top). Later that day, user @saltydkdan posted a version using DMX's song "X Gon' Give It To Ya," gaining over 1,700 retweets and 4,300 likes (shown below, bottom).

YouTuber Fennec Fox gained over 268,000 views adding "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen to the trailer. This edit was covered by Mashable.[1] The video and the meme was also covered by CNET.[2]
Several commenters suggested that Nintendo had purposefully released the trailer without music in order to encourage users to spread the trailer with their own music as a marketing tactic (shown below).

Nintendo made that new Smash Brothers commerical without music so people would throw their own music on it, share it, and spread it around -- just like we're doing. pic.twitter.com/snPecaIhbn
