While composer [[Koji Kondo]] had created many different melodies for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', he decided to use the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)|same melody]] in ''Super Mario World'', albeit in an {{wp|arrangement|arranged}} form, assuming that the player would be able to recognize the melody while being exposed to new variations of music throughout the game.<ref name="iwata asks kondo">{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Super-Mario-All-Stars/Vol-1-Super-Mario-History-Soundtrack-CD/5-Music-Commentary-by-Koji-Kondo-2-/5-Music-Commentary-by-Koji-Kondo-2--220040.html|language=en-gb|title=Iwata Asks: Music Commentary by Koji Kondo|publisher=Nintendo of UK|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref> The melody was believed to be inspired by "{{wp|Green, Green (song)|Green, Green}}," a folk song recorded in the 1960s that was very popular in Japan.<ref>{{cite|author=Thomas Game Docs|date=June 15, 2021|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8SNbCDXgaQ|language=en|title=The pop song that Nintendo copied|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 1, 2021}}</ref> This being the first game developed for the SNES, Kondo felt "overjoyed" about being able to take advantage of the increased technological capability, which allowed eight instruments to be used at once. To express the technological novelty of the new console, he used samples of several different instruments (as named below), implementing them all, one after the other, in the game's title song.<ref name="iwata asks kondo"/> As development progressed, Kondo grew concerned over how people would react to his unusual combinations of instruments as he noted the use of the NES's traditional {{wp|square wave}}s and {{wp|triangle wave}}s had "gained acceptance" with consumers. For the game's sound effects, Kondo decided to use a variety of musical instruments to emphasize that the game used traditional technology with a hybrid of new materials.<ref name="iwata asks kondo"/> For example, Mario's jumping sound is a {{wp|reappropriation}} of a pan flute sample. The music took around a year and a half for Kondo to compose.<ref>{{cite|author=Kawasaki, Hondai|date=January 1991|title="1990 Developer Interview" - ''Nintendo Official Guidebook for Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4''|language=ja|location=Tokyo|page=167|publisher=Shogakkan}}</ref>

The soundfont used for the ''Super Mario World'' soundtrack consists of the following instrument samples: the fretless bass, piano, pan flute, brass, and clarinet from the {{wp|Kawai K1}} module; the fantasia synth, arco strings, bass marimba, and slap bass from the {{wp|Roland D-50}} synthesizer; the honky-tonk, steel drum, and oud from the Roland L-CD1 (a sample library built for the {{wp|Roland S-50|S-50}} synthesizer); and the dry kick, impact snare, reverb snare, closed hi-hat, and open low conga from the {{wp|Roland R-8}} drum machine. An orchestra hit sample from unknown equipment by {{wp|E-mu Systems}} is also present, and it was used to construct Yoshi's record-scratching voice effect. The cannon sound used for the thunder effects originates from {{wp|King Records (Japan)|King Records}}' ''Complete Sound Collection VII'', and is the first professional film sound effect to be sampled in a Nintendo game. The origin of the heavy guitar used in the final boss theme is currently unknown.<ref>{{cite|url=docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJBlHHDc65fhZmKUGLrDTLCm6rfUU83-kbuD8Y0zU0o/edit?pli=1#gid=717751203|title=NEWER VGM Sound Sources|language=en|publisher=Google Sheets|accessdate=June 27, 2024}}</ref>

*''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' – If the player waits on the [[Special Zone]] map for one minute and 57 seconds, a cover version of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|overworld theme]] will start playing. The 3/4 waltz time signature returns in the "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario World)#Super Mario World|Underwater BGM]]" after being absent in the "Underwater BGM" of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a feature that would become a staple of underwater themes in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series. The quadruple-block formation holding the final [[List of power-ups|power-up]] in [[Yoshi's Island 1]] is reminiscent of a similar block formation towards the end of [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]].

*''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' – Unaltered [[Ninji]]s reappear, and Bullet Bills resembling [[Pidgit]]s appear in the [[Fall]]. [[Pokey]]s also return.
