"'''Underground BGM''',"<ref>[[Nintendo Music]]</ref> also known as the "'''Underground Theme'''," is a recurring musical theme in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise composed by [[Koji Kondo]], first heard in underground areas in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' The original theme is a short, looping tune played in 3/4 time and lasting about 11 seconds, and it plays in every underground [[level]] in the game. In composing the theme, Kondo said, "It was really concentrated on the space between the notes, and using a few notes to create that feeling of being underground -- that sort of creepy atmosphere is something I really focused on."<ref>{{cite|author=Nutt, Christian|date=December 10, 2014|url=www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/the-i-mario-i-maestro-speaks-koji-kondo-on-composing-classics|title=The ''Super Mario'' Maestro speaks: Koji Kondo on composing classics|language=en|publisher=Game Developer|accessdate=August 18, 2024}}</ref> ''Super Mario Bros.'' designer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated that the theme was an "even more perfect fit" than the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]].<ref>{{cite|url=iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/mario25th/4/4|title=Iwata Asks : Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary : To Save Memory|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=August 18, 2024}}</ref> Like the Ground Theme, the Underground Theme has seen many reuses and arrangements in later ''Super Mario'' games and media.

The theme shares a similar melody with the instrumental "Let's Not Talk About It" from {{wp|Lee Ritenour}}'s second ''Friendship'' album, released in 1979.

==Arrangements==
{{stub|section=y|[[Super Nintendo World]] information}}
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. Special''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'', the Underground Theme plays in underground levels at a slower tempo than the original similar to the Ground Theme.
{{media table

|title=Underground Theme

}}

====''Super Mario Bros.'' (Game & Watch)====
In 1986, a short arrangement of the theme was made for [[Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|''Super Mario Bros.'']] (Game & Watch, Crystal Screen series). This arrangement would reappear unchanged for the Special Edition (1987) and New Wide Screen (1988) versions.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', an arrangement of the Underground Theme plays in underground areas and bonus rooms. It also plays in the main levels of [[Dark Land]]; the game's Ground Theme is completely absent from that world. This version is the first to use a 4/4 time signature and add a percussion beat at the start of the theme (which carries through the rest of the theme), both traits which would go on to be reused in many of the later arrangements.

This version is reused in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''-styled Underground levels, as well as in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' portion of [[Green Energy Plant]], though it is given an echo effect if Mario [[flip]]s into 3D.

====''Super Mario All-Stars''====
For the respective underground levels in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', rather than both the original and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' versions receiving 16-bit arrangements, a single arrangement of the latter is instead used for ''Super Mario Bros.'', ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
{{media table

====''Super Mario 64''====
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', an extended arrangement plays in cave areas, including [[Hazy Maze Cave]], [[Wet-Dry World]], [[Wiggler]]'s cave of [[Tiny-Huge Island]], [[Behind the Waterfall]], the [[Inside the Ancient Pyramid|pyramid]] in [[Shifting Sand Land]], and the [[Into the Igloo|igloo]] in [[Snowman's Land]]. New notes were added in this arrangement, and the introduction is a longer, unique melody. The theme's main melody is played on bass guitar. This arrangement also uses a haunting vocal track for certain areas in lieu of the bass guitar, specifically for the Hazy Maze and Underground Lake in Hazy Maze Cave, and for the downtown area in Wet-Dry World. Outside these two courses, the arrangement incorporates both the bass guitar and vocal tracks for the other locations. It is reused in ''[[Mario Net Quest]].

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', this arrangement returns in all areas in which it was present in the original game, and is also used in [[Goomboss Battle]], albeit with some of the instrumentation altered.

====''Super Mario Advance''====
In the ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' remake featured in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', a fast-paced arrangement appears as one of the two regular stage themes, first playing in Phase 5. The arrangement uses the NES bass sound for the main melody. The ''Mario Bros.'' remake and its arranged music return in all three of the later ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' games.

A techno arrangement plays when Mario chases down [[Shadow Mario]]. The first six notes played on an electric guitar can be heard when Shadow Mario reveals his face during the cutscene where the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] appears. Another arrangement plays when using [[manhole]]s.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', three arrangements were arranged by the game's main composer [[Mahito Yokota]]. The first, titled "'''Space Athletic'''" in the game's [[Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack|original soundtrack]], is a slower-paced, techno arrangement that plays on several galaxies and planets, including [[Flipswitch Galaxy]], [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]], and the interiors of [[Battlerock Galaxy]], [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]]'s pyramid, and [[Dreadnought Galaxy]].

The second, officially titled "'''Interlude'''", is a much slower-paced, eerie arrangement that plays in areas such as the first area of [[Ghostly Galaxy]] and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], as well as before the boss fight with [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Dino Piranha|Fiery Dino Piranha]] after breaking their eggs. This version only uses the theme's first four measures.

The third, titled "'''Cosmic Comet'''", is a fast-paced techno arrangement that mixes in the Ground Theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' and Shadow Mario's theme from ''Super Mario Sunshine''. The Underground Theme is used as the bassline for the song, which plays in [[Prankster Comet|Cosmic Comet]] and Fast-Foe Comet missions.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Another arrangement based on ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s version plays in underground levels in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', which also resembles ''New Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s version, incorporating vocals. Additional percussion can be heard if a player is riding [[Yoshi]]. This arrangement is reused in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', and ''Super Mario Maker'' and ''Super Mario Maker 2'' in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''-styled Underground levels. In ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', a woodblock is added if Mario/[[Luigi]] is in his [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]], and chimes are added if Mario/Luigi touches a [[Gold Ring]]. In ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'', the [[Baby Yoshi]]s vocalize to the theme if players are carrying them.

An arrangement also plays in underground volcano levels in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]]. This rendition also returns in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' in [[World 6-A (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-A]], ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'' in [[Soda Jungle-5]] and [[Peach's Castle-3]], and in ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', a techno arrangement of the Underground Theme plays on rhythm-based galaxies and planets, including [[Beat Block Galaxy]] (the song's namesake in the [[Super Mario Galaxy 2 Original Soundtrack|official soundtrack]]), [[Flash Black Galaxy]], the gravity-shifting room of [[Flipsville Galaxy]], the final area of [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]], and the interior of the [[Undergrunt]] planet of [[Battle Belt Galaxy]]; with elements of the level (such as the [[Blinking Block|Beat Block]]s and gravity) changing in time with the music.

A fast-paced arrangement of the first part of the theme can also be heard in the music that plays in [[Flip-Swap Galaxy]] and [[Flip-Out Galaxy]], alongside the leading melody.

The "Cosmic Comet" arrangement also returns, this time being slightly higher-key with additional notes at the start of the song. It plays during the Clone Comet mission "[[The Shadow Lining]]" and the Double Time Comet mission "[[Turning Turning Double Time]]".

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' uses a variation of "Space Athletic" from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' for underground levels, adding ascending notes at the start of the theme and extra percussion. The "Cosmic Comet" arrangement also returns, playing whenever a [[Cosmic Clone]] is encountered. It is mostly unchanged from its ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' rendition, albeit with most of the fading cosmic synth pads removed.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====
''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''{{'}}s arrangement, again playing in underground levels, is directly based on its predecessor's rendition, except with descending notes at the start instead of ascending, and additional drums.

This arrangement is reused in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' for ''Super Mario 3D World''-style underground levels.

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', another arrangement based on "Space Athletic", titled "'''Subterranean 1'''" in the [[List of Super Mario Odyssey media|Music List]] and "'''Underground Power Plant'''" in the [[Super Mario Odyssey Original Soundtrack|official soundtrack]], plays in several secret areas as well as in the Underground Power Plant in the [[Metro Kingdom]]. This version uses a different introduction and backing instrumentation. It also received an 8-bit variation for when Mario is in an 8-bit section of said secret areas.

Another, quieter version of the Underground Theme, heavily based on its ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' rendition, appears in the game, titled "'''Subterranean 2'''" in the Music List. It can be heard in the underground area of Jaxi Ruins in the [[Sand Kingdom]], the secret [[Puzzle Part]] room in the [[Lake Kingdom]], and the secret wooden block room in the [[Snow Kingdom]].

U'' styles.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', two arrangements that incorporate the Underground Theme's main motif appear in the game. One of them plays in underground levels and areas, and reduces the main motif to three notes, sounding similar to the Delfino Airstrip theme from ''Super Mario Sunshine''. The other, quieter arrangement plays in darker levels such as [[Swamp Pipe Crawl]], [[Light-Switch Mansion]], and [[Another Uncharted Area: Swaying Ruins]]. For both themes, if the player character is in their [[Elephant Mario|Elephant form]], the lead instrument will be changed into brass horns, reminiscent of an elephant trumpeting.

The last few notes of the Underground Theme can also be heard mixed into one of the [[Wonder Effect]] themes, which plays during more chaotic Wonders such as the Flying Battleship ones, or when the player is being chased by a [[Rift Mario|dark clone]].

===''Super Mario'' DIC cartoons===
Various arrangements of the Underground Theme can occasionally be heard in episodes throughout ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
