[[File:Under Ground Theme SMB.oga|thumb|The Underground Theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'']] | |||
The "'''Underground Theme'''" is a recurring musical theme in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|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 approximately 11 seconds long, 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>Nutt, Christian (December 10, 2014). [https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/231987/The_Mario_Maestro_speaks_Koji_Kondo_on_composing_classics.php The ''Mario'' Maestro speaks: Koji Kondo on composing classics]. ''Gamasutra''.
