The "Ground Theme" is a musical theme composed by Koji Kondo for Super Mario World. It is used as a motif throughout the game, and has been reused and rearranged in numerous pieces of Super Mario media.
Composition
The "Ground Theme", originally titled 「地上BGM」 (Chijō BGM, "Ground BGM"), is played on steel drum, with synthesizer, guitar, brass, and acoustic bass as accompaniment, matching the tropical setting of Dinosaur Land. The melody is inspired by the 1963 folk song "Green, Green".[1] The melody mostly adheres to the major pentatonic scale in the key of F.

Super Mario series
Super Mario World
The "Ground Theme" motif is used in several different themes throughout Super Mario World, often changing the mode of the theme. The athletic, underground, castle, underwater, bonus game, course clear, and game over themes are all arrangements of the "Ground Theme". The "Athletic Theme", 「アスレチックBGM」 (Asurechikku BGM, "Athletic BGM"), is an upbeat ragtime arrangement of the "Ground Theme" in the key of C major. The underwater theme, 「水中BGM」 (Suichū BGM, "Underwater BGM"),[2] is a slow waltz arrangement of the "Ground Theme" in the original key of F major. The rhythm of the melody is altered to fit the triple meter time of the piece. The underground theme, 「地下BGM」 (Chika BGM, "Underground BGM"),[2] and the "Castle" theme, 「砦BGM」 (Toride BGM, "Fort BGM"),[2] are both slow arrangements of the "Ground Theme". They flatten most instances of the mediant and leading-tone to put the melody in the Dorian mode. The theme is transposed to C minor for the repeating bars of the "Castle". The Ghost House theme, 「おばけ屋敷BGM」 (Obake Yashiki BGM, "Haunted House BGM"),[2] is a foreboding arrangement of the "Ground Theme". The motif of the theme is played slowly in several natural minor scales in the arrangement. Additionally, the key center regularly changes throughout the arrangement to produce an unnerving, disorienting effect. The bonus game theme, 「ボーナス面BGM」 (Bōnasu Men BGM, "Bonus Screen BGM"),[2] is a playful arrangement of the "Ground Theme" in the key of F major. The course clear theme, 「コースクリア ファンファーレ」 (Kōsu Kuria Fanfāre, "Course Clear Fanfare"),[2] is a brief brass arrangement of the "Ground Theme". The Game Over theme, 「ゲームオーバー」 (Gēmu Ōbā, "Game Over"),[2] is an arrangement of the "Ground Theme" played on harp.
While Mario is riding a Yoshi, bongo percussion is added to the original theme and all of these arrangements. This does not include the Ghost House theme and "Castle", where Yoshi cannot enter, and "Bonus Game BGM", which already includes bongo percussion.
In Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2, "Castle", the underground, underwater, and Ghost House themes are all reused for the respective course themes in the Super Mario World game style, as well as the Course Clear theme upon hitting the Giant Gate's tape, and the bonus game theme through the Bonus Music sound effect.
In Super Mario Maker 2, the Game Over theme in Endless Challenge is the arrangement from Super Mario World if the last course played was in that game style.
In WarioWare: Get It Together!, the Course Clear fanfare plays after passing the Giant Gate at the end of each level.

New Super Mario Bros. 2
In New Super Mario Bros. 2, the chime that can be heard while the game loads sometimes plays a small part of the "Ground Theme".
Super Mario Maker
Super Mario Maker introduces Super Mario World style Airship levels, which were not present in the original game, along with a new theme for these levels. Like many other themes in Super Mario World, this arrangement integrates a variation of the "Ground Theme"'s main motif. The motif is in a minor scale like the original "Castle" and is played on brass and string instruments.
Every piece of background music associated with a course theme has an original, more ambient arrangement for editing such a course in the Course Maker, using eight tracks that fade in and out randomly to create a dynamic mix. This includes all themes based on the "Ground Theme" from Super Mario World, as well as the castle theme in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, originally from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
All of these new arrangements return in their original capacities Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS and Super Mario Maker 2.

Super Mario Maker 2
Super Mario Maker 2 introduces several new course themes in the Super Mario World style that use the "Ground Theme" motif in their music.
The desert theme plays the motif on a plucked string instrument, aerophone, and violin in the Hungarian minor scale. The snow theme is an arrangement on strings, horn, glockenspiel, trumpet, tubular bell, and accordion with acoustic bass and sleigh bell as accompaniment, though some notes removed from the melody. The forest theme plays the motif on vibraphone and oboe, with acoustic bass, hi-hat, and bongos as accompaniment, and is reminiscent of the Underground theme.
A music box version of every piece of background music associated with a course theme plays during nighttime levels. This includes all themes based on the "Ground Theme" from Super Mario World, as well as the castle theme in the New Super Mario Bros. U style, originally from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Like in Super Mario Maker, all of these tracks are paired with bongo percussion when Mario is riding a Yoshi. Additionally, every new theme is also more ambient arrangement with a dynamic mix when editing the course in the Course Maker.
A unique arrangement of the "Ground Theme" is also featured in the game's announcement trailer, where it plays after the title reveal, continuing where the original "Ground Theme" that played before left off. This arrangement incorporates a variety of different musical styles, excerpts of the original "Ground Theme", and Super Mario 3D World's main theme.[3]
