"Underground BGM,"^[1] also known as the "Underground Theme," is a recurring musical theme in the 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 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."^[2] Super Mario Bros. designer Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that the theme was an "even more perfect fit" than the Ground Theme.^[3] 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 Lee Ritenour's second Friendship album, released in 1979.

Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)[edit]

In 1986, a short arrangement of the theme was made for 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[edit]

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 flips into 3D.

Super Mario All-Stars[edit]

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.

Super Mario 64[edit]

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 pyramid in Shifting Sand Land, and the 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 64 DS[edit]

In Super Mario 64 DS, an arrangement resembling Super Mario Bros. 3's version (albeit without the introduction) plays in the minigames Coincentration, Intense Coincentration, and Hide and Boo Seek, which returns in New Super Mario Bros. for the same minigames as well as Whack-a-Monty, and in the Nintendo DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games in the gallery under the same name as the former minigame. The main melody is again played on bass guitar.

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

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 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 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 Cosmic Comet and Fast-Foe Comet missions.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

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 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 Yoshis vocalize to the theme if players are carrying them.

An arrangement also plays in underground volcano levels in World 8. This rendition also returns in New Super Mario Bros. 2 in 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[edit]

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 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 Beat Blocks 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 Odyssey[edit]

In Super Mario Odyssey, another arrangement based on "Space Athletic", titled "Subterranean 1" in the Music List and "Underground Power Plant" in the 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.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

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 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 dark clone.

Super Mario DIC cartoons[edit]

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[edit]

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the music that plays in the Pipe Vault is an arrangement of the Underground Theme, titled "Greetings from the Pipes". Another version of the song plays as Mario chases the Axem Rangers through Barrel Volcano, titled "The Axem Rangers Burst In". Both themes were arranged by Yoko Shimomura.

The Underground Theme, arranged by chiptune band YMCK, is featured in Art Style: PiCTOBiTS under the name "Super Mario Bros. Part 2". In this arrangement, the melody is initially incomplete but builds itself as the puzzle is completed. An arranged excerpt of it is also featured in the game's credits.

WarioWare series[edit]

WarioWare: D.I.Y.[edit]

In WarioWare: D.I.Y., a short arrangement in 4/4 time without percussion plays in the microgame Paratroopa.

WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase[edit]

In WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase, an arrangement in 4/4 time resembling that of Super Mario Bros. 3, albeit with the first six notes repeated three times in the same key, plays in the downloadable Weekly Games microgame 1-UP.

WarioWare Gold[edit]

In WarioWare Gold, a slightly uptempo version of one of the Underground Theme's Course Maker tracks in Super Mario Maker plays in the Super Mario Maker microgame in levels taking place underground. Additionally, in Sneaky Gamer, 5-Volt may hum the Underground Theme if she is nearby.

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games[edit]

Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games features a techno arrangement of the Underground Theme with electric guitar, arranged by the Sega Sound Team; this version returns in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Despite being based on the original version from Super Mario Bros. version, it is labeled in-game as being the music for Coincentration from Super Mario 64 DS.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart 7[edit]

In Mario Kart 7, the Underground Theme is interspersed into the music for Piranha Plant Slide, which also incorporates the Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros. The course and arrangement return in Mario Kart Tour.

Mario Kart 8[edit]

In Mario Kart 8, the Underground Theme's main motif can be heard on bass guitar in the music for the underground portion of Super Bell Subway (titled "Super Bell Subway (Underground)" in the official soundtrack and arranged by Atsuko Asahi). Piranha Plant Slide and its music also return, though with slight alterations and rearranged by Ryo Nagamatsu.^[4]

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

In Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, a slow-paced, ambient arrangement of the Underground Theme, somewhat resembling "Interlude" from Super Mario Galaxy, plays before and after the mine cart ride in Mine Cart Tunnel Throwdown, as well as in the room the player enters when they get a Game Over. A version of this arrangement was used for Super Mario Odyssey, titled "Subterranean 2" in that game's Music List.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the Underground Theme is arranged multiple times in the score, which was composed by Brian Tyler. A slow arrangement at a similar tempo to "Interlude" from Super Mario Galaxy plays in the track "The Warp Pipe" when Mario and Luigi investigate Brooklyn's sewers. The main melody of the theme can be heard in "Press Start", and the descending notes at the end of the theme play in "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom" when Mario reaches the Brick Block bridge while on his way with Toad to Peach's Castle. A more direct arrangement of the theme is featured in the credits theme, "Level Complete", alongside other Super Mario themes; this arrangement incorporates the whistle heard in the Toad Brigade's theme from Super Mario Galaxy. Bowser also plays the Underground Theme on his piano with Kamek after the latter interrupts his song. A piano arrangement of the first six notes plays when Luigi is shown locked in a cage in the film's final trailer.^[5]

On the Super Mario Bros. Plumbing website, one of the reviewers is named "dunnadunnadunna", a vocal interpretation of the main melody of the Underground Theme.^[6]

Other arrangements[edit]

An advertisement for the Nintendo Cereal System in 1989 featured a version of the Underground Theme.^[7]

Appearances in other media[edit]

In the Japan-exclusive Just Dance Wii and the Wii version of Just Dance 3 (in which the song is downloadable content), the song "Just Mario" (whose artist is simply credited as "Ubisoft meets Nintendo") is a medley of remixes of the Ground Theme, invincibility theme, and Underground Theme. The song returns in the Nintendo Switch version of Just Dance 2018, albeit with the themes fully arranged instead of remixed.

In Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition, a techno arrangement plays in Mushroom Battles.

Pushmo World contains a medley consisting of the "Ground Theme", "Underground Theme", and "Underwater Theme" from Super Mario Bros.

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 [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] after breaking their eggs.
