====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', an arrangement of "Spinning Slots" plays during the [[Match & Win!]] minigame, which is based on the [[Spade Panel]] minigame from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', in green [[Toad House]]s on the [[Super Mario Maker 2#World Maker|World Maker]] world map. This arrangement sounds very similar to the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of the theme; however, the guitar used for the melody cuts off each note much more quickly than the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version.
