Editing Jump Up, Super Star!

[[File:SMO Jump Up Super Star Cover.jpg|thumb|The official cover of '''Jump Up, Super Star!'''.]]
'''Jump Up, Super Star!''' is the theme song of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is sung by [[Pauline]] and was used in gameplay footage of ''Super Mario Odyssey'' during E3 2017.

The song uses an upbeat, big-band jazz style, and the most noticeable feature is its lyrics, something almost never heard in songs from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, if at all. The song has Pauline detailing an adventure across the worlds of ''Super Mario Odyssey'', referring to herself as [[Mario]]'s "1UP girl". A Japanese version of the song has its own lyrics, unique to the international version.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/aaaca/common/hen3frereqax/jdabrufrut3p.mp3 Japanese version of the song]</ref> It can be played from a boombox in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].

This song was performed by The Super Mario Players and was sung by [[Kate Higgins]] (also known as Kate Davis<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Higgins</ref>) in English and Aimi Mukohara in Japanese. It was composed by [[Naoto Kubo]]<ref>The metadata of the short version [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/aaaca/pauline/music/JumpUpSuperStar.mp4 down][http://media.nintendo.com/supermario/assets/audio/Jump_Up_Super_Star_Short_Ver.mp4 loads]/ [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/aaaca/common/hen3frereqax/emachebru5hn.mp3 stream] and of the [https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jump-up-super-star-single/id1295624919 iTunes release]</ref>, the original lyrics were written by [[Nobuyoshi Suzuki]]<ref name=Famitsu>https://www.famitsu.com/news/201710/25144749.html?page=2</ref> and the English lyrics were written by Rob Tunstall. The full version was released worldwide on October 20, 2017 on the {{wp|iTunes Store}}, while the short version is downloadable for free until January 2018.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/switch/aaaca/pauline/index.html Official Japanese page of ''Jump Up, Super Star!''].

==Development==
Nobuyoshi Suzuki, the sound designer of ''Super Mario Odyssey'', wrote the first draft of the lyrics in Japanese. According to [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], they had a discussion on whether using words such as "[[Extra life|1UP]]" would be good. They sent all of the documents they had to the localization members to create the final lyrics, due to English being a more global language, as Koizumi stated.<ref name=Famitsu/>

Kate Higgins, who sang the English version, mentioned Cup of Tea Productions, Inc. was in charge of the voice acting. When asked if she was interested in doing the voice, she agreed and auditioned for the role by sending samples of her voice to Nintendo of Japan, and was ultimately selected for the role. Weeks before the recording session, Nintendo of Japan sent her a demo sung by a Japanese singer and a lead sheet, with the music already recorded. Several people from Japan and America were present in the final recording.<ref>http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/10/27/kate-higgins-on-playing-pauline-and-recording-quot-jump-up-superstar-quot-for-super-mario-odyssey.aspx</ref>

<blockquote>
<i>Here we go, off the rails<br>
Don't [[Mario|you]] know it's time to [[Odyssey|raise our sails]]<br>
It's freedom like you never knew

Don't need bags, or a pass<br>
Say the word [[Pauline|I'll]] be there in a flash<br>
You could say my hat is off to you

Oh we can zoom<br>
All the way to the [[moon]]<br>
From this great wide wacky world<br><!--Please do not link to the canceled Super Mario's Wacky Worlds game until it is officially confirmed that the line in question IS a reference to said game.-->
[[Jump]] with me, grab [[coin]]s with me<br>
Oh yeah!

It's time to jump up in the air (Jump up in the air)<br>
Jump up, don't be scared (Jump up, don't be scared)<br>
Jump up and your cares will soar away<br>
And if the dark clouds start to swirl (Dark clouds start to swirl)<br>
Don't fear, don't shed a tear, 'cause<br>
I'll be your [[1-Up|1UP]] girl

So let's all jump up super high (Jump up super high)<br>
High up in the sky (High up in the sky)<br>
There's no [[List of power-ups|power-up]] like dancing<br>
You know that you're my [[Super Star|superstar]] (You're my superstar)<br>
No one else can take me this far<br>
I'm flipping the Nintendo Switch|switch<br>
Get ready for this<br>
Oh, let's do the odyssey

Odyssey, ya see! (x7)<br>
Odyssey, odyssey!

Spin the wheel, take a chance<br>
Every journey starts a [[Princess Peach|new romance]]<br>
A new world's calling out to you<br>

Take a turn, off the path<br>
Find a [[Cappy|new addition to the cast]]<br>
You know that any captain needs a crew<!--Please do not link Captain Toad here, this has nothing to do with him-->

Take it in stride<br>
As you move side to side<br>
They're just different points of view<br>
Jump with me, grab coins with me<br>
Oh yeah!

Come on and jump up in the air (Jump up in the air)<br>
Jump without a care (Jump without a care)<br>
Jump up 'cause you know that I'll be there<br>
And if you find you're short on joy (Find you're short on joy)<br>
Don't fret, just don't forget that<br>
You're still our 1UP boy

So go on straighten up your [[Mario Cap|cap]] (Straighten up your cap)<br>
Let your toes begin to tap (Toes begin to tap)<br>
This rhythm is a [[Super Mushroom|power 'shroom]]<br>
Don't forget you're the superstar (You're the superstar)<br>
No one else can make it this far<br>
Put a comb through that 'stache<br>
Now you've got panache<br>
Oh, let's do the odyssey!

It's time to jump up in the air (Jump up in the air)<br>
Jump up, don't be scared (Jump up, don't be scared)<br>
Jump up and your cares will soar away<br>
And if the dark clouds start to swirl (Dark clouds start to swirl)<br>
Don't fear, don't shed a tear, 'cause<br>
I'll be your 1UP girl

Now listen all you boys and girls (All you boys and girls)<br>
All around the [[Earth|world]] (All around the world)<br>
Don't be afraid to get up and move<br>
You know that we're all superstars (We're all superstars)<br>
We're the ones who've made it this far<br>
Put a smile on that face<br>
There's no time to waste<br>
Oh, let's do the odyssey!</i>

==Trivia==
*This song is the first main theme of a ''Super Mario'' series game to feature lyrics.
*The theme of [[25m]] from ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' can be heard during the part where Pauline repeats the lyrics "Odyssey, ya see". In addition, the sound effect played when Mario jumps over a barrel in the game can be heard at the end of the aforementioned riff.<ref>https://youtube.com/watch?v=nEYx56R66fc</ref>
**Also, when Pauline says "Odyssey, ya see", she mimics her sprite animations from ''Donkey Kong''.
* The lyrics are embedded inside the game case.
