Arrangements[edit]

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Two arrangements of "Toad House" can be heard throughout The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, as the show is based on Super Mario Bros. 3.

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World[edit]

An arrangement of "Toad House", titled 「スイッチBGM」 (Suitchi BGM, "Switch BGM") in the official soundtrack, plays whenever the player activates a Switch Block in Super Mario World. The arrangement's chord progression is taken directly from "Toad House", and its melody is a rhythmically altered reinterpretation of the original theme.

This arrangement returns for the same purpose in Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition, as well as in the Super Mario World style in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2.

This arrangement can be heard in WarioWare: Get It Together! when using a P Switch in level 1 the Super Mario World boss microgame.
