==Arrangements==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the "Ground Theme" is given slightly more enhanced instrumentation compared to the ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' original and has an additional partition at the end. This arrangement is the version heard every time the original theme is reused throughout the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise.
