Editing Castle (theme)

"'''Castle'''"<ref name=SSB>''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series sound tests</ref> is a musical theme composed for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' by [[Koji Kondo]]. It is a slower, more foreboding arrangement of the ''Super Mario World'' "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)|Ground Theme]]".

The [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|PC]], [[Mario is Missing! (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES]], and [[Mario is Missing! (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES versions of ''Mario is Missing!'']] all feature arrangements of "Castle". The MS-DOS and SNES versions each feature two arrangements that play in [[Bowser's Castle]], and an additional arrangement that plays during boss battles. The NES version only has one arrangement of "Castle" which plays in Bowser's Castle. The MS-DOS and SNES arrangements are quite similar to each other, while the NES arrangement is noticeably different, using an 8-bit soundfont rather than a 16-bit one.

The [[Mario's Time Machine (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES version of ''Mario's Time Machine'']] features two arrangements of "Castle". The first arrangement plays on the game's title screen and is a mashup arrangement of "Castle" and the theme heard in [[Vanilla Dome]] in ''Super Mario World''. The second arrangement plays in [[Bowser's Castle]].

 

The [[Mario's Time Machine (PC)|PC version of ''Mario's Time Machine'']] features an arrangement of "Castle" as one of two songs that can play in [[Bowser's Museum]], the other being an arrangement of the [[Ghost House]] theme, "[[Obake Yashiki BGM]]".

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the {{wp|Dorian mode|Dorian}} motif of "Castle" is quoted on sine {{wp|synthesizer}} in the theme heard in  [[Toad Town Tunnels]], which is included in the track "Toad Town Variations" in the game's [[Paper Mario Game Music Soundtrack CD|official soundtrack]].

 

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', an arrangement of "Castle" is featured at the beginning and end of the medley "Castle / Boss Fortress (Super Mario World / SMB 3)", with ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''{{'}}s boss theme played in the middle. It was arranged by Yusuke Takahama. The song can be played on the [[Luigi's Mansion (stage)|Luigi's Mansion]] stage, as well as when encountering [[False Character|False]] [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and/or [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|the Subspace Emissary]]. It was [[List of Super Smash Bros.
