SMB Theme - The (In)Complete List

[Otaku1990]

I am making a list in which all the games in which the main-theme of Super Mario Bros. (the BGM of world 1-1 and all the other overworld-levels) shall be mentioned in the future and I need your help to achieve this goal. I listed many titles with the theme (remixes also count) but many games are missing whom I don't know exactly if and when the tune plays.
Everyone who helps me will be credited at the end of the list. The list is also viewable at my website (http://otaku1990.ot.funpic.de/wb/pages/special-features/smb-theme--the-incomplete-list.php), but I'll post it here too, if that's okay.

If you sight any expression mistakes in the list I would appreciate if you mentioned them (I am still learning English so I make mistakes here and there). Thanks for your help.

I want to thank the following persons for helping me out with this list:
Aarom11, Toad, Hirocon, Deezer, Markio, yoshimastar, MEGABYTE, Kojinka, Chupperson Weird,
Hydra_Hunter, Lizard Dude, mjb1124.

[HolyAarom]

For DDR:Mario Mix, The songs that have the main theme are:

Here We GO!
Hammer Dance
Step by Step
Pirate Dance

[Toad]

- Super Smash Bros.
(BGM of Peach's Castle)
(BGM of Donut Plains)

- Mario Party
("How To Play"-BGM)

- Mario Party 5
(3 variations of the theme play during the Piranha Night Fever-Minigame)

When was there a Donut Plains in SSB? :p (I'm pretty sure you meant SSBM.

Anyway, good job, but here are a few more you may have missed/not noticed..

-Mario Party
(title screen has a variation on it)
(ending credits)

-Mario Party 5
(During the extra game Card Battle)

and now here's some that aren't even on your list.. :)

*these are in no particual order*

-Mario Party 3
(opening movie has some of the theme)

-Mario Golf 64
(I think it was Speed Golf that had the theme..)

-Super Mario Land
(driving the submarine and the airplane. Both stages had a variation on the theme)

I'm pretty sure there are still more, but that's all I can think of/ :)

[Hirocon]

In Mario Tennis: Power Tour for GBA, the main Mario theme plays during the end credits.

[Otaku1990]

Thank you very much ^__^
I've updated the list and put your names at the end.

For DDR:Mario Mix, The songs that have the main theme are:

Here We GO!
Hammer Dance
Step by Step
Pirate Dance

Here We Go is a remix of the original theme, thank you for that. But the rests are remixes of other Mario-BGMs e.g. from SMB3. These don't count.

When was there a Donut Plains in SSB? :p (I'm pretty sure you meant SSBM.

In the german version of SSB the classical SMB-stage is called "Donut Ebene" which is Donut Plains in English. But you're right, it's called simply "Mushroom Kingdom" in the NTSC version (so says Wikipedia^^"). I edited it.

and now here's some that aren't even on your list.. :)

*these are in no particual order*

1) -Mario Party 3
(opening movie has some of the theme)

2) -Mario Golf 64
(I think it was Speed Golf that had the theme..)

3) -Super Mario Land
(driving the submarine and the airplane. Both stages had a variation on the theme)

1) I checked the intro but wasn't able to hear one single note of the theme. Did you really mean the video with Millenium Star falling in Peach's garden?

2) It was Get Character :) Thank you.

3) The influence of the original SMB-theme was to vague to me so I didn't add these two themes to the list. But thank you anyhow.

In Mario Tennis: Power Tour for GBA, the main Mario theme plays during the end credits.

I wasn't able to check it, so I just added this "sighting" to list by relying on you ;)


Btw: Last night I played Mario Party 3 with a friend of mine as I noticed that a item called "Telekauf" (Cellular Shooper in English) plays the first six notes of the theme as you use it. I love this little hidden details^^

[Deezer]

The first Donkey Konga (all regions) had it... and now apparently Taiko Drum Master 8 will have it. Anything else I can remember has been said already.

* Deezer waits for MegaByte to come in and list a flazillion more games

[Markio]

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for the Nintendo Gamecube, Peach sings the first six notes on the character select screen.

[MaxVance]

EDIT: Never mind. :-\

[Otaku1990]

The first Donkey Konga (all regions) had it... and now apparently Taiko Drum Master 8 will have it.

Oh, Donkey Konga was obvious. Can't believe I forgot this one. Well, at first even SSBM wasn't in, altough it is one of my alltime-favourites o_O"

Hm... I should make another section featuring "Other Plattforms" so I can include Drum Master.

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for the Nintendo Gamecube, Peach sings the first six notes on the character select screen.

Neat little detail. Added^^

Tetris DS has a remix of the SMB overworld theme in it. Or at least in this video. It may change before release, however.

This one was already included.

[yoshimastar]

In PM2 you can hear the first 6 notes while battling most enimies.

[Toad]

1) I checked the intro but wasn't able to hear one single note of the theme. Did you really mean the video with Millenium Star falling in Peach's garden?

Yea, during the part where the Millenium STar makes his appearance. I'll plug up my N64 and see if I can time it and give an exact timing of when to listen.. :)

.. and here's a few more I thought of.. :D

-Super Mario Bros 3
(Music Box music that makes the Hammer Bros on maps fall asleep)

-Mario Party 2
(Mystery Land Board has a couple of the bars floating around in it)

-Paper Mario
(when you turn yourself into 8-bit by dropping into a pot in one of the rooms of the Haunted House)

-Paper Mario 2
(can be heard during regular battles [someone else has already mentioned this])
(when you turn yourself into 8-bit by dropping through the celing in the Moon Base)
(a remix is heard at the beginning of every chapter [I think someone else has already said this one, too])

[MEGAߥTE]

Super Mario Advance 4 - see Super Mario Bros. 3 above
Super Mario 64 - intro notes played upon level entry
Animal Crossing - if nothing else, from the SMB NES game
Daigasso! Band Brothers - the SMB theme is part of a Mario medley

Super Mario Land - I'd remove that entry

[Otaku1990]

In PM2 you can hear the first 6 notes while battling most enimies.

I wanted to add that a while ago. Thanks for reminding me^^ Added.

1) -Super Mario Bros 3
(Music Box music that makes the Hammer Bros on maps fall asleep)

2) -Mario Party 2
(Mystery Land Board has a couple of the bars floating around in it)

3) -Paper Mario
(when you turn yourself into 8-bit by dropping into a pot in one of the rooms of the Haunted House)

4) -Paper Mario 2
(can be heard during regular battles [someone else has already mentioned this])
(when you turn yourself into 8-bit by dropping through the celing in the Moon Base)
(a remix is heard at the beginning of every chapter [I think someone else has already said this one, too])

1) Added.
2) Excuse me?^^" (It's not in the Mystery Land-BGM, but I am sure you meant something different)
3) Classic one ;-) Added.
4) I have to check the last one. In Paper Mario 1 there was the same thing.

Super Mario Land - I'd remove that entry

I didn't even want to add this one @_@ Why did I do this anyhow?
Well, now it's gone.

[Toad]

I'm pretty sure I could hear parts of it floating around in the Mystery Land theme.. maybe I'm just listening too hard. :P

.. and I thought of one more I'm pretty sure no one has added yet..

Mario Party 5
(the background music to the slot machine game)
(the music that plays for the Chance Time [or trading fortune] spaces)
(the music that plays during the Coin Cache game sounds like it was derived from the SMB theme)

[MEGAߥTE]

Paper Mario 2 - Bowser World BGM

[Kojinka]

SMAS - One part of theme is played on the Game Selection Screen.

[Otaku1990]

Mario Party 5
1) (the background music to the slot machine game)
2) (the music that plays for the Chance Time [or trading fortune] spaces)
3) (the music that plays during the Coin Cache game sounds like it was derived from the SMB theme)

1) and 2) have the same BGM in which some notes of the SMB-Theme seem to be used. It's very vague, but I'll add it.
But during the Coin Cache-minigame there is an other BGM which (at least in the german version) does not sound like the theme,
in my opinion.

Paper Mario 2 - Bowser World BGM

Oh, I love this one! Thanks for pointing this out to me.

SMAS - One part of theme is played on the Game Selection Screen.

Hm... I am not able to hear it out of the track.

[Markio]

Sie sind Deutsch?  Herzliche Glueckwunsh!

[Kojinka]

Here's a link to a MIDI of the SMAS title screen tune.
http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/smasselect.mid

[Bigluigifan1.0]

VG Music doesn't do direct links, so it won't go there correctly unless you copy and paste the link to your browser.

[Otaku1990]

@Kojinka:
Oh, my fault. I was to fast and took your abbreviation for Super Mario Advance, not All-Stars.
Of course, you are right, this cleary is a remix of the SMB-Theme. Thanks + Added.

[Chupperson Weird]

There are also the "Super Pipe House" and "The End!" remixes in SMRPG.

[Hydra_Hunter]

in pm:ttyd, the whole battle music is a remixed version of the mario theme, not just the first six notes.

also M&LPiT has the theme in some parts of the mushroom kingdom overworld.

M&LSS has the theme near mario and Luigi's house, which the song is mixed partioally with a smb3 song (1st world map music). - also, i believe mario is humming the theme in the shower

[Toad]

Oh yea! There's also Mario's whistling the theme while in the shower in Super Mario RPG.

.. hmm, I think we have it pretty much narrowed down now. Could be wrong, though. :D

[Kojinka]

Let's not forget the Mario Dies and Game Over from SMB

[Toad]

Wait!.. I missed one..

Super Mario RPG, Mario's Pad music

This music is also remixed with the World 1 Map music from SMB3 in SuperStar Saga.

[HolyAarom]

In WarioWare for GBA, there's a mini-game for the first stage of the game. (Wario and only 10 microgames.) One of the games is Wario stepping on the goomba and the music sounds like 1-1 and souns more like it when you speed up.

[Toad]

Bah! There's still one more..

Mario Party 5 Credits (in the one player mode)

[Deezer]

Maniac Mansion (NES)
When you turn on a "video game," some music is played, and you hear the first five notes of the famous SMB theme.

[Toad]

Mario Power Tennis Credits and during the bloopers reel (forget which set) when Wario's cell phone goes off (Wario has the SMB theme for his ringer.. weird!).

[Hydra_Hunter]

Maniac Mansion (NES)
When you turn on a "video game," some music is played, and you hear the first five notes of the famous SMB theme.

isnt it the first 6 notes?

[Deezer]

That's what David Dayton told me. I couldn't verify it myself.

[Otaku1990]

Added, added, added, added, added, added......... @_@
Thank you, guys.

Let's not forget the Mario Dies and Game Over from SMB

I consider them as seperate themes.

[Toad]

Oh! Mario Party 1 also had bits of the theme in Peach's Birthday Cake board.

.. I'm sorry. I would put all of the ones that I think of in one post, but it's taking days at a time to think of them, you know. :)

[MEGAߥTE]

Mario Net Quest had the first 6 notes, copied from SM64.
SM64DS also has those 6 notes.

[Otaku1990]

Added, added.

But what's Mario Net Quest?

[Deezer]

Shockwave game part of a contest promoting IBM AS/400 servers.

[Otaku1990]

Okay, but as long as the game wasn't a real commercial game on a cartridge, CD, DVD, mini-disc, whatever, I don't count it.

[MEGAߥTE]

That might cause problems once we have Revolution downloadable games.

More:
SM64DS minigames:
Boom Box - intro 6 notes at the beginning of each level
Trampoline Time and Trampoline Terror - same BGM as the Super Mario Sunshine FLUDD-less stages

MKDD - the Mario 8-bit battle stage has the intro 6 notes

[Toad]

Paper Mario TTYD in Glitzville (outside the Glitz Pit.. the music sounds to me like a sort of remix of the SMB theme)

[Hydra_Hunter]

also, even though not released here in us, in Doubutsu no Mori (Animal crossing 64 in Japan) had the nes games as well so they had Super Mario Bros (which had the theme)

[Otaku1990]

SM64DS minigames added.
Animal Crossing 64 added.

[MEGAߥTE]

No, that's incorrect Hydra_Hunter.  Animal Forest did not have all of the games that Animal Crossing did.  It did not include SMB.  Therefore, remove it from the list Otaku1990.

[Kojinka]

This game was mentioned, but I don't see it on the list yet, but the Mario theme is indeed remixed in parts of the MK on M&L: PiT on the DS.  I just got the game today.  I'll be patient...

[BP]

Anytime you learn something in M&L: PiT.

[Toad]

Super Mario Kart's race start (when the camera is zooming in on your driver before the start of a GP race)

[HolyAarom]

I don't want to start another file in PiT, but I think that the theme plays during the first journey, which is the road to HolliJolli Village.

[Toad]

Paper Mario 64, during the credits/ending theme.

[Lizard Dude]

The walking dude on Brain Age apparently whistles it when you touch him.

[Kojinka]

M&L:SS  Little Fungitown.

[mjb1124]

New Super Mario Bros:
Mushroom House BGM
Part of End Credits music

[Toad]

Paper Mario 2- The paper games in the casino (the first few bars play when you are starting the games)

[Forest Guy]

Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes A Day - After performing daily training at a certain speed, a man walks across the screen who will whistle the first 6 notes of the theme.

Incidentally enough, I never can get to see that now, since my brain age has halved itself. Yesss.



EDIT: I didn't see that Lizard Dude already beat me to it. My bad.

[Otaku1990]

I FINALLY updated the list again. Thank you very much!

[BP]

There's another one, exclusively to SMA4. I wasn't even playing it when it struck me; in the intro that is shown before the title screen, listen to the music when Peach is talking to the Mario Bros.

[mjb1124]

Also in SMA4, it's the BGM for the "Classic World 1-1" E-Reader stage.

[-FoxMcCloud-]

You may want to add that the overworld theme is in the Sound Test feature on SSBM.

Just a thought.

[Kojinka]

In PM:TTYD, Peach sings the first six notes in the shower.

[Toad]

- Paper Mario

That last entry for Paper Mario 64 is wrong. The theme that plays during the credits parade is from SMW, not SMB.

Here's one I think we missed..

Super Mario Bros DX (not DS)

[Toad]

Mario VS Donkey Kong for GBA- remixed into the title screen.

Mario VS DK 2 for DS- remixed into the title and credits screens.
