Arrangements
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Two different arrangements of "World 3 Map (Water Land)" can be heard in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 episodes "Reign Storm" and "7 Continents for 7 Koopas".
Additionally, a slower arrangement can be heard in the episode "The Beauty of Kootie".
Super Mario series
Super Mario All-Stars
The Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3 uses a 16-bit arrangement of "World 3 Map (Water Land)" that, like in the original, can be heard on the Sea Side world map. This arrangement is also used in Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition.
