"'''Ghost House BMG'''"<ref>[[Nintendo Music]]</ref> is a musical theme composed for ''[[Super Mario World]]'' by [[Koji Kondo]]. It is a slower and more eerie and foreboding arrangement of the ''Super Mario World'' "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)|Ground Theme]]" similar to "[[Castle (theme)|Castle]]" that plays in the game's [[Ghost House]] levels and the [[Sunken Ghost Ship]].

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
An arrangement of "Ghost House BGM" can be heard in [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Super Mario World'', ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. This version is more compressed than the original version and uses different, lower-quality synthetic instruments.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', an arrangement of "Ghost House BGM" can be heard in the [[e-Reader]] levels [[Doors o' Plenty]] and [[Vexing Doors]]. This arrangement is very similar to the one heard in ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
The beginning of the music heard in [[Ghost House]] levels in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' uses a similar compositional technique as "Ghost House BGM", beginning with the eerie high notes fading in. The rest of it, however, is completely different.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the theme heard in [[Haunty Halls Galaxy]] and [[Boo Moon Galaxy]], titled 「'''ゴーストコンベア'''」 (''Gōsuto Konbea'', "Ghost Conveyor"), is an arrangement of "Ghost House BGM". While Mario is riding [[Yoshi]], shaker and {{wp|tambourine}} percussion is added. The theme was arranged by [[Mahito Yokota]].<ref name=SMG2>{{cite|language=en|url=vgmdb.net/album/19454|title=SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2 ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK|publisher=VGMdb|accessdate=August 28, 2019}}</ref>

====''Super Mario Maker''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', "Ghost House BGM" is given an original, more ambient arrangement for editing [[Ghost House]]-themed courses in the [[Course Maker]], using eight tracks that fade in and out randomly to create a dynamic mix.

The theme also receives new percussion parts for when Mario rides a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in the ''Super Mario World'' style, as this was impossible in such levels in the original game. Like other themes in the original ''Super Mario World'', the theme adds {{wp|bongos}} to the instrumentation in its "Yoshi" variation.

Both of these new arrangements return in their original capacities in ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', a {{wp|music box}} arrangement of "Ghost House BGM" plays during the [[Moon (Super Mario Maker 2)|nighttime]] version of Ghost House-themed levels in the ''Super Mario World'' style.

Like in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', this track is paired with bongo percussion when Mario is riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]].

===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' features two arrangements of "Ghost House BGM". The music heard outside [[The Enigmansion]] is a looping arrangement of the beginning of the theme. The theme heard inside The Enigmansion, titled simply "The Enigmansion" in the [[Sticker Museum]] music gallery, incorporates "Ghost House BGM" and "Waltz of the Boos" from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a sped-up arrangement of "Ghost House BGM", arranged by [[Brian Tyler]], is briefly heard towards the end of "The Darklands" as [[Luigi]] escapes from the horde of [[Dry Bones]] in the [[Dark Land]]s.

===Other arrangements===
====''Super Mario World''====
The [[Super Mario World (album)|official soundtrack]] for ''Super Mario World'' includes an arranged medley of "Ghost House BGM", the Underground Theme, and "[[Castle (theme)|Castle]]" titled "Mario! Stay Alert!" arranged by Soichi Noriki and performed by the Mario World Band.
