Reuses
| Game | Description |
|---|---|
| Mario Kart Wii | The theme plays when the player uses a Mega Mushroom. |
| New Super Mario Bros. 2 | The theme plays when the player collects a Mega Mushroom. |

Arrangements
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart Wii extensively showcases the doppler effect, which is a real-world phenomenon where the pitch of a sound is distorted when the object omitting the sound is moving at a different speed than the object receiving the sound. As a result, when the player passes or is passed by an opponent with a Mega Mushroom, the pitch of the theme will be distorted as they move closer or further away from the player.
Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
In Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, a metal arrangement of "Mega Mario" plays when a player collects a Mega Mushroom.
