*Like the Wing Cap music, the Vanish Cap music is an arrangement of [[Superstar Mario]]'s theme from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', which in turn is an arrangement of the [[Super Star]]'s theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' but with an added melody. This theme was reused as the Super Star's theme in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and it was arranged as the music for the [[Rainbow Star]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
