The "'''Airship Theme'''"<ref>''Super Smash Bros.'' series Sound Tests</ref> is an {{wp|atonal}}<ref>''Super Mario Series for Piano'', intermediate-advanced edition, pg 17</ref> musical theme commonly associated with [[airship]]s in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. It was originally composed by [[Koji Kondo]] for airship and [[tank]] levels in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The theme begins with a triplet-based rhythm evoking a military march, which plays throughout the rest of the theme. It is loosely based on "Mars, the Bringer of War", the first movement of [[wikipedia:Gustav Holst|Gustav Holst]]'s ''[[wikipedia:The Planets|The Planets]]''.

The "'''Airship Theme'''" is an {{wp|atonal}}<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Super Mario Series for Piano: Intermediate-Advanced Edition]]''|page=17}}</ref> musical theme commonly associated with [[airship]]s in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. It was originally composed by [[Koji Kondo]] for airship and [[tank]] levels in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The theme begins with a triplet-based rhythm evoking a military march, which plays throughout the rest of the theme.

==Composition==
==Composition==
The theme is orchestrated as {{wp|chiptune}} with a {{wp|timpani}} PCM sample in the original ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', being a game developed for the [[Family Computer]]. The original Airship Theme is short, lasting 30 seconds, though later arrangements would go on to extend the theme. It has been reused in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (as well as [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS port]]) and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in airship levels of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style.
As ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' is for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Family Computer]], the theme is orchestrated as {{wp|chiptune}} with a {{wp|timpani}} {{wp|PCM}} sample.

It has been reused in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in airship levels of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style.


In the Japanese and American versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the first part of the theme plays the {{wp|PCM}} sample slightly after the other channels by about a twelfth note, leading to slight desynchronization and the percussion being cut off early as the second part begins. This is corrected in the European version but retained in ''Super Mario Maker''.

A fully orchestrated arrangement of the "Airship Theme" titled "'''Attack of the Airships'''"<ref name="SMG Soundtrack">''[[Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack]]''</ref> is featured in the opening of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', arranged by [[Mahito Yokota]]. A variation of this arrangement, titled "'''Airship Armada'''"<ref name="SMG Soundtrack"/>, plays in [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]]. "Airship Armada" has a shorter introduction than "Attack of the Airships" and it loops instead of ending.
A fully orchestrated arrangement is later featured in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', arranged by [[Mahito Yokota]]. It plays in [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]] and is named after it in the [[Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack|official soundtrack]] ("'''Airship Armada'''"). The arrangement is reused in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the opening; it also returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', though it is compressed and played on synthesized instruments. A variation of this arrangement also plays in the opening when [[Bowser]] appears, the only differences being a longer introduction and that it ends instead of looping. This variation is titled "'''Attack of the Airships'''" in the official soundtrack, and would later be reused in [[Bowser Jr.]]'s newcomer video for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' when the [[Koopalings]] appear.
 
"Attack of the Airships" can be heard in [[Bowser Jr.]]'s newcomer video for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' when the [[Koopalings]] appear. "Airship Armada" is reused in the opening of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' when [[Bowser]] appears. It also returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and can be heard in airship levels, though it is compressed and played on synthesized instruments. "Attack of the Airships" and "Airship Armada" both return along with ''Super Mario Galaxy'' in ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]''.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', a mostly faithful arrangement plays in airship levels. The melody is played by an organ instead of brass and a countermelody has been added before the piece loops. If the player runs short on [[Time Limit|time]], string accents are added to the arrangement along with the tempo increase. In the room before a boss fight, only the percussion plays. The arrangement is reused in airship levels in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Edition]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. In ''Super Mario Run'', wind chimes and synthesized scratches are added to the theme during [[Coin Rush Star|Coin Rush]].
