Removing the words from the song makes it a lot better! I do generally prefer music without words (classical, electronic, and such) to vocal music of course, and yeah, it's the same here.
As for which of the themes is best, it's really hard to say... the original game has the worst music, but the best concept, as the 'kid playing with toys on a desk' idea is explicitly shown. Melee's is a classic and as an intro video is certainly my favorite, though that Melee's the Smash game I played the most of by a wide margin is surely part of that. I only ever played lots of Smash because I was in college and the people I knew there often wanted to play Melee, after all. As for the newer ones, I don't know. They keep scaling up the length and ambition of the songs, but does that make them better?
