"'''Map 3 World'''"<ref name=SMB3>''[[Game Sound Museum: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''</ref> is a theme composed by [[Koji Kondo]] for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' that, as the name implies, can be heard on the overworld map of [[Water Land]], the third [[world]] of the game. The theme has also gone on to become a recurring theme in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise as the "[[zeldawiki:Fairy Fountain (Theme)|Fairy Fountain]]" theme.

==Arrangements==
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
An arrangement of "Map 3 World" is heard in the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episodes [[Reign Storm]] and [[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]. Additionally, a slower arrangement is heard in [[The Beauty of Kootie]].

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario All-Stars''====
The ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' uses a 16-bit arrangement of "Map 3 World" that, like in the original, can be heard on the [[Water Land|Sea Side]] world map. This arrangement is also used in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition]]''.

====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
In ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', an arrangement of "Map 3 World" is included in the background of the [[Mario Zone]] theme and the theme heard on stage 3 of the [[Tree Zone]].

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
An arrangement of "Map 3 World" similar to one heard in ''Super Mario All-Stars'' can be heard in [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This version is more compressed than the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version and uses different, lower-quality synthetic instruments.

===''Donkey Konga''===
In ''[[Donkey Konga]]'', an arrangement of "[[zeldawiki:Fairy Fountain (Theme)|Fairy Fountain]]" from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise is included in the background of the playable song "The Legend of Zelda Theme".

===''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''===
''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' includes an arrangement of "[[zeldawiki:Fairy Fountain (Theme)|Fairy Fountain]]" from the ''Zelda'' franchise in the medley track "The Great Sea / Menu Select" by Tetsuya Shibata. It can be played on the [[Skyloft]] and [[Pirate Ship (stage)|Pirate Ship]] stages.

The arrangement returns as a playable track in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can be played on any ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''- and ''The Legend of Zelda''-series stage.

===Other arrangements===
====''The Legend of Zelda'' series====
Since its original appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', "Map 3 World" has gone on to become a recurring theme in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']]'' franchise as the "[[zeldawiki:Fairy Fountain (Theme)|Fairy Fountain]]" theme. Following the theme's inclusion in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', "Fairy Fountain" has been featured in almost every mainline ''The Legend of Zelda'' game. It is usually used on file selection screens, and in [[zeldawiki:Fairy Fountain|Fairy Fountains]] and [[zeldawiki:Great Fairy Fountain|Great Fairy Fountains]].
