'''''Super Mario Bros.: Mario Syndrome''''' is a novelty maxi-single by Bonus21, a group consisting of Takaki Funabashi, Hiroki Harada, Shunji Inoue, Yoshichika Kuriyama, Hiroyuki Tanaka, and Chikako Watabe. Released through King Records on May 21, 1986, the single is the band's only release. The pseudonymous Super Bubble Club is credited with producing the single and writing lyrics for all three songs.

''Super Mario Bros.: Mario Syndrome'' features three tracks based on songs from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'': 
*"Mario Syndrome," a dance remix of the [[Ground BGM (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground]] theme that interpolates "[[Invincibility BGM|Super Star]]" during the chorus;
*"Mario Syndrome Re-Mix," a remixed version of the previous song;
*"Princess Peach," a vocal rendition of the [[Underwater BGM|Underwater]] theme and "[[Ending (Super Mario Bros.)|Ending]]."

==Notes==
*The arrangement of the Ground Theme heard on "Mario Syndrome" is similar to "Super Mario 2007," the arrangement used for [[Toy Time Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Supermassive Galaxy]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
*Although the sprite of [[Mario]] depicted on the front cover is similar to [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], it actually recreates a transitional sprite seen for a single frame when [[Small Mario]] picks up a [[Super Mushroom]] or when Mario powers down to Small Mario.<ref>Supper Mario Broth (December 13, 2017). [https://twitter.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/940978534822174725 The cover for Mario Syndrome, a 1986 official Super Mario Bros. remix album, depicts what appears to be a recolored and slightly edited version of the transitional sprite between Small Mario and Super Mario that can be seen for a single frame in Super Mario Bros.] ''Twitter''. Retrieved October 25, 2023.</ref>
*While tracks one and two's Japanese titles are katakana renderings of their English titles, track three is slightly more liberal. The Japanese title for track three translates to "I Am [[Princess Peach]]," while the English name listed on the packaging is simply "Princess Peach."
*"Mario Syndrome (Re-Mix Version)" also appears on ''Disco Night Fever'', a 1986 Italo disco compilation by King Records sublabel Seven Seas.<ref>{{cite|title=Various – Disco Night Fever|url=https://www.discogs.com/master/663298-Various-Disco-Night-Fever|publisher=Discogs|language=English|accessdate=December 10, 2024|archive=http://archive.today/2024.12.10-230408/https://www.discogs.com/master/663298-Various-Disco-Night-Fever}}</ref>
