Title: New Theme Song?
Post by: VorceBlade on February 14, 2005, 10:56:33 AM: Well has anyone noticed in most of the Super Mario Advance series (sma1, sma2, sma4) the beginning theme song is always a mutated remix of the SMB1 Water theme? Has this become the theme song for GBA Mario games?

PS. What is the main theme for SMA3? I've never played it before.

But I think the title screen music for at least SMB2 and SMB3 were the same in the original NES versions (insofar as they used a remix of the Water theme). So perhaps the Water theme has been a Mario theme for longer than we realize. In any case, it seems both themes are acceptable.

Never noticed it before, so good for pointing it out.

However, only SMB2(USA) had music for the title screen in the original NES versions.

A. I already said that it was used for the SMB2 title screen.

B. SMB3 had no title screen music.

Why "e3"??

Post by: Suffix on February 19, 2005, 07:30:00 PM: In my mind, lyrics could be... wonderfully absent, and I would still call it a song. "Theme" fits, however, because we associate it with Mario and water.

Post by: Markio on February 19, 2005, 11:30:16 PM: I think Lizard Dude already noticed this, along with the Banjo-Kazooie theme being a remix of "Bear's Picnic". no wait, I think Chup noticed that last one.
