"'''Slider'''",<ref name="NMusic">[[Nintendo Music]]</ref><ref name=SM64>''[[Super Mario 64 Original Soundtrack]]''</ref> also known as simply "'''Slide'''",<ref>''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series Sound Tests</ref> is a musical theme composed for ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' by [[Koji Kondo]]. It is a frantic {{wp|bluegrass music|bluegrass}}/{{wp|country music|country}} interpretation of the "[[Super Mario 64 Main Theme]]" motif, played in {{wp|D major}} at a ''presto'' tempo. The name "slider" is used in Japanese for the "[[slide (Super Mario 64)|slide]]" type of level.

==Original==
In ''Super Mario 64'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', "Slider" is the background music in, as the name implies, all slide areas; it also plays in [[Tick Tock Clock]], [[Rainbow Ride]], [[Tower of the Wing Cap]], [[Vanish Cap Under the Moat]], [[Wing Mario Over the Rainbow]], and during [[Koopa the Quick]]'s footraces. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', it plays in [[Battle Fort]] and in all four stages in Vs. mode.

The melody is played on fiddle, and the countermelody on whistle, with banjo, piano, acoustic bass, and drumset as accompaniment.

==Reuses==

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', an arrangement of "Slider" is used for the slide in [[Tall Trunk Galaxy]], and while rolling the [[Star Ball]] in [[Rolling Coaster Galaxy]]. In the latter case, it adjusts in tempo and intensity to match the speed of the ball, fading into a sparse version played on sine synthesizer, two recorders, and harp if it is kept still, and increasing in speed (affecting the pitch continuously, as opposed to an increase in tempo) when the ball accelerates down the rail launchers.
