"'''Desert Theme'''"<ref name=Piano>''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Simplified Piano Solos]]''</ref> is a recurring musical theme that appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', playing in the [[desert]] [[level|courses]]. This theme replaces the desert theme appearing in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and would be rearranged throughout the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series.

==Arrangements==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii Coin World''====
An arrangement of the theme using different instruments appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii Coin World]]''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
The theme reappears unmodified in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In addition, when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] are in their [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon/Fox forms]], a woodblock beat will play in the theme, much like other courses in the game. Likewise, touching a [[Gold Ring]] will add a bell synth arpeggiator on the theme.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
The theme returns unmodified again in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', with an additional arrangement containing vocalizations being played when a [[Baby Yoshi]] is held. The original theme and its arrangement are reused for the same purposes in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''.

====''Super Mario Run''====
A version without "[[Baah]]" vocalizations is featured in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the original theme returns unmodified. A rearrangement of the theme is played when editing courses in this style. [[Moon (Super Mario Maker 2)|Nighttime]] versions of both themes are also present.
