The "'''Main Theme'''"<ref name=History>''[[Super Mario History 1985-2010]]'' (Soundtrack CD) - Track 7</ref> is a musical theme composed by [[Koji Kondo]]<ref>{{cite|url=vgmdb.net/album/34912|title=SUPER MARIO HISTORY 1985-2010 Soundtrack CD|language=en|publisher=VGMdb|accessdate=December 4, 2023}}</ref> and used in ground courses in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' that has become a recurring theme in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise, particularly in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. (disambiguation)|New Super Mario Bros.]]'' series. It has a 2/4 time signature played at 100 beats per minute in C major.


It is the first theme heard in-game that gives a gameplay effect to the "[[paah]]" vocals, which were [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)#Super Mario 64|previously sampled]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. This would become a recurring game mechanic throughout the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series.

''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' includes three additional arrangements of the "Main Theme". The theme heard while [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] walk together during the opening is a {{wp|swing (jazz performance style)|swing}} arrangement of the first two measures of the "Main Theme"'s melody. It is played on the {{wp|vibraphone}} with {{wp|acoustic guitar}} harmony accompaniment. The melody segues into a mysterious {{wp|Augmented triad|augmented chord}} with stacked major seconds as Mario and Peach notice the thundercloud forming over [[Peach's Castle]].
The opening two measures of the Ground Theme's melody are first used in the introductory cutscene. It plays as [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] come on-screen during their walk. The melody is played swung on vibraphone, with acoustic guitar adding harmony, and birds can be heard chirping in the background. The melody segues into a mysterious augmented chord with stacked major seconds as the characters notice the thundercloud forming over [[Peach's Castle]].
 
The Main Theme proper plays in most levels in the game set above the ground. The ''[[Super Mario History 1985-2010]]'' album contains an uncompressed version of the theme, unlike the compressed version that plays in-game.


The athletic theme is an uptempo swing arrangement of the "Main Theme" that features {{wp|clarinet}}, {{wp|Mute (music)|muted}} {{wp|trumpet}}, {{wp|xylophone}}, {{wp|piano}}, {{wp|trombone}}, and acoustic {{wp|Bass (instrument)|bass}}. The B section of the arrangement adds a new melody played on a square {{wp|synthesizer}}.
The Athletic Theme is an uptempo swing arrangement of the Ground Theme that features clarinet, muted trumpet, xylophone, trombone, and acoustic bass. The B-section has a new melody played on square synthesizer.


One section of the credits theme features an arrangement of the "Main Theme" played on {{wp|Steelpan|steel drum}} in the treble range with a whistled {{wp|counter-melody}}, staccato square synthesizer, and the drum kit featured throughout the rest of the piece. This transitions into a fuller version played on {{wp|electric organ}} with {{wp|brass instrument|brass}} accompaniment, then into the "[[Underground Theme]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
One section of the staff credits theme arranges the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Ground Theme on steel drum in the treble range, with a whistled countermelody, staccato square synthesizer, and the drum kit featured throughout the rest of the piece. This transitions into a fuller version played on electric organ with brass accompaniment, then into the [[Underground Theme]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' features several arrangements of the "Main Theme" throughout the game. An arrangement of the "Main Theme" titled "'''Ground Theme'''"<ref name=Piano>''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Simplified Piano Solos]]''</ref> plays on ground levels like in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' The rhythm of the hook and opening section is changed. The latter replaces the square-wave sixteenth notes with a staccato electric organ that continues in the background throughout the A section. The orchestra hits that accompany the "[[paah]]" vocals in the original version are replaced by clapping rhythms. When the player is riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], additional {{wp|cuíca}} and {{wp|Shaker (musical instrument)|shaker}} percussion is added to the instrumentation.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the first two measures of the Ground Theme's melody are used at the end of the opening cutscene, while the player characters are chasing the [[airship]], [[Propeller Mushroom]]s, and [[Penguin Suit]]s. The leitmotif is played on synthesized brass, leading to a dominant chord and timpani roll.
 
The Ground Theme itself is arranged with a new, slightly sparser, more synthetic instrumentation. It is played on clavichord, electric organ, electric piano, vibraphone, synth bass, and an electronic drum kit.


An arrangement of the first two measures of the "Main Theme"'s melody plays at the end of the opening cutscene while [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)|Yellow Toad]], and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] are chasing [[Bowser]]'s [[airship]]. The leitmotif is played on synthesized brass, leading to a dominant chord and {{wp|timpani}} roll.
The rhythm of the hook and opening section is changed. The latter replaces the square-wave sixteenth notes with a staccato electric organ that continues in the background throughout the A-section. The orchestra hit that accompanies the "paah" vocals in the original version is replaced by a clapping rhythm.


Similar to ''New Super Mario Bros.'', the athletic theme is an arrangement of the "Main Theme", though the piano, clarinet, xylophone, and square synthesizer from the original athletic theme have been replaced with {{wp|accordion}}, {{wp|banjo}}, and muted {{wp|electric guitar}}, making it a {{wp|bluegrass music|bluegrass}}/{{wp|country music|country}} arrangement.
The Athletic Theme is also rearranged, replacing the clarinet with accordion, xylophone with banjo, and square synthesizer with muted electric guitar.


The theme heard in snow courses is a {{wp|Christmas}}/winter arrangement of the "Main Theme" played on {{wp|French horn}}, {{wp|string instrument|strings}}, {{wp|Jingle bell|sleigh bells}}, and {{wp|snare drum}} fills. It also reintroduces the {{wp|acoustic guitar}} from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' original. Like the "Ground Theme", additional cuíca and shaker percussion is added to the instrumentation when the player is riding a Yoshi.  
Snow courses now have a subtle arrangement of the Ground Theme, which adds French horn, strings, and sleigh bells, and reintroduces the acoustic guitar from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' arrangement. The claps become a snare drum fill.


The theme heard in the first phase of the [[Bowser]] battle is based on the first two measures of the "Main Theme"'s melody.
The Ground and Snow Themes also have an added percussion track, including cuíca and shaker, which plays while riding a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]].


The credits theme, titled "Staff Credit Roll",<ref name=Piano/> quotes and reharmonizes the "Main Theme" as well as the "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
The music for the first phase of the [[Bowser]] battle is based on the first two measures of the Ground Theme's melody. This is reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.


The Bowser battle arrangement is reused for the same purpose in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
The staff credits theme also quotes and reharmonizes this phrase, as well as quoting the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|original Ground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii Coin World''====
''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii Coin World]]'' features a more relaxed arrangement of the "Main Theme" based on the arrangement heard in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. The main melody is doubled on {{wp|accordion}} and {{wp|piano}}, and the melody of the section before the loop is played on {{wp|trumpet}}. In addition to new instrumentation, this arrangement uses a different [[paah]] sample than ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
The Ground Theme has a more relaxed arrangement in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii Coin World]]''. While it is based on the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' arrangement, it is heavily altered and likely arranged from scratch. The main melody is doubled on accordion and piano, and the melody of the section before the loop is on trumpet. As with the rest of the game's soundtrack, the [[paah]] sample is different.
 
While it does not include the actual melody, the game's ending theme features the same basic chord progression as the "Main Theme".

''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' uses modified arrangements of the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' Ground, Snow, and credits themes. These versions double the melody with ''a capella'' vocals.
