Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, an orchestral arrangement of "Slider" titled "Rainbow Cruise" was arranged by HAL Laboratory composer Shogo Sakai for the stage of the same name. The arrangement also incorporates the Underwater Theme from Super Mario Bros. In the Super Smash Bros. Melee: Smashing...Live! album, the arrangement is played by a live orchestra.

The song returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl (titled "Rainbow Cruise (Melee)") and can also be played on Rainbow Cruise. This arrangement again returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, where it can be played in Smash Run, and in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where it can be played on the Delfino Plaza stage. It is once again titled simply "Rainbow Cruise" in both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions. The arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, titled "Slide (Remix)", and can be played on any Super Smash Bros.-series and Super Mario-series stage.
