"'''Title BGM'''"<ref name=MB>''[[Game Sound Museum: Mario Bros. / Super Mario USA]]''</ref> is a musical theme composed by [[Yukio Kaneoka]] for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' that plays on the game's title screen. It would go on to later be included in the {{wp|PlayChoice-10}}, {{wp|Atari 8-bit}}, and {{wp|Atari 7800}} versions of ''Mario Bros.'' as well as later ports of the NES version.

==Arrangements==
===''Mario Bros.'' series===
====''Mario Bros.'' (Atari 8-bit)====
The title screen of the {{wp|Atari 8-bit}} version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' features an arrangement of "Title BGM" similar to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] original, but it used lower-quality and scratchier {{wp|chiptune}} instrumentation.

====''Mario Bros.'' (Atari 7800)====
The title screen of the {{wp|Atari 7800}} version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' features a slightly faster arrangement of "Title BGM" that uses different {{wp|chiptune}} instrumentation. Additionally, the end of the arrangement features an altered melody from the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] original.

===''Super Mario Advance''===
''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' includes a [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|remake of ''Mario Bros.'']] along with a 16-bit arrangement of "Title BGM".

This arrangement returns alongside the ''Mario Bros.'' remake in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', albeit with slight variations between instruments.

===''Mario Power Tennis''===
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' and its [[Wii]] port ''[[New Play Control!|New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis]]'', a {{wp|chiptune}} and {{wp|steel drum}} arrangement with {{wp|flute}} accompaniment of "Title BGM" by [[Motoi Sakuraba]] plays during exhibition matches on the [[Mario Classic Court]], which is heavily based on ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''

===''WarioWare'' series===
====''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''====
An orchestral arrangement of "Title BGM" is one of the songs that the player can conduct in Level 2 of the [[Opening Night]] [[microgame]] in ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]''.

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''====
''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'' features a slightly faster arrangement of "Title BGM" very similar to the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] original, but it uses slightly different {{wp|chiptune}} instrumentation. 

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' features an arranged medley of "Title BGM" and "Game Start" by [[wikirby:Shogo Sakai|Shogo Sakai]] titled "Mario Bros." The arrangement is primarily played on the {{wp|electronic keyboard}}, but it also includes {{wp|chiptune}} samples and {{wp|rock music|rock}}-inspired backing instrumentation, as well as a brief {{wp|Symphony|symphonic}} bridge. It can be played on the [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros.]] stage. Interestingly, the arrangement is classified as a [[Nintendo]]-series track rather than a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-series track. "Title BGM" is also incorporated in "Title / Ending (Super Mario World)" by {{iw|bulbapedia|Shota Kageyama}}, acting as a countermelody played on a {{wp|music box}} during the "Title" portion of the track.

"Mario Bros." returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', where it can be played on the [[75m]] and [[Super Mario Maker (stage)|Super Mario Maker]] stages, and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can be played on any ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''-series and ''Super Mario''-series stage. Unlike ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the arrangement is classified as a ''Super Mario''-series track in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

Likewise, "Title / Ending (Super Mario World)" can play on the [[Yoshi's Island (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Yoshi's Island]] and Super Mario Maker stages in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' and any ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''-series and ''Super Mario''-series stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
