Arrangements[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl features an arrangement of "DS Waluigi Pinball" simply titled "Waluigi Pinball." It was arranged by Kentaro Ishizaka, and it can be played on the Mario Circuit stage.

The arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where it can be played on the same stage, and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it can played on any Mario Kart- and Super Smash Bros.-series stage.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart 7[edit]

In Mario Kart 7, an arrangement of the theme plays in DS Waluigi Pinball. This arrangement is extremely similar to the Mario Kart DS original, but it uses slightly different instrumentation. When the player is driving at top speed while in first place, additional percussion is added to the theme's instrumentation.

The arrangement without the frontrunning percussion is reused for DS Waluigi Pinball in Mario Kart Tour with the course's introduction in the 2019 Halloween Tour.

Mario Kart 8[edit]

Mario Kart 8 features an arrangement of "DS Waluigi Pinball" that can be heard in DS Wario Stadium. Like in Mario Kart 7, additional percussion is added to the theme's instrumentation when the player is driving at top speed while in first place. It was titled "DS Wario Stadium" in the game's' official soundtrack along with the following liner notes:

For this track, we've tried to represent Wario's nasty nature in sound. We've actually put most of the emphasis on the beat itself, rather than the original tune.

This arrangement is reused in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for DS Wario Stadium, as well as DS Waluigi Pinball with its introduction in Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass. It is titled both "DS Wario Stadium" and "DS Waluigi Pinball" in the game's sound test, as it is the only track in the game used for multiple different courses.
