In ''Super Mario Bros.'', the theme plays while [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] is under the effects of the Starman (or in a [[Coin Heaven]] in the original version). As ''Super Mario Bros.'' is for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Family Computer]], the theme is orchestrated as {{wp|chiptune}}. Like the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] from this game, the noise channel plays a {{wp|Swing (jazz performance style)#Swing as a rhythmic style|swing rhythm}}, in contrast to later arrangements which would use straight eighths.

"Invincibility BGM"

The theme in Super Mario Bros.
Composed by:
Koji Kondo
First appearance Super Mario Bros. (1985)
Latest appearance Super Mario Party Jamboree (2024)

"Invincibility BGM,"[1] also known as "Super Star"[2] or "Starman,"[3] is a recurring musical theme usually played when a character is invincible. As such, it is tightly associated with the eponymous Super Star power-up. Composed by Koji Kondo for Super Mario Bros., it has since been arranged in numerous games.

Composition[edit]

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

In Super Mario Bros., the theme plays while Mario or Luigi is under the effects of the Starman (or in a Coin Heaven in the original version). As Super Mario Bros. is for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Family Computer, the theme is orchestrated as chiptune. Like in the Ground Theme from this game, the noise channel plays a swing rhythm, in contrast to later arrangements that would use straight eighths.

The theme follows a cyclical chord progression between the D minor seventh chord and C major seventh chord. The main melody uses the seventh and root of these chords, whereas the bassline uses the root and fifth.

Reuses[edit]

In addition to ports and remakes of Super Mario Bros., the theme has been reused in many other games and other media:

Game Description
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels reuses the soundtrack from Super Mario Bros.
Super Smash Bros. series Starting from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the original theme replaces the arrangement heard in the previous two installments when a fighter collects a Super Star.
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 The theme is used when one of the characters is under the effect of the Super Star during a match.
Mario Clock The theme is available as one of three choices of alarm music, represented by a sprite of a Starman from Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker 2 The theme plays when the player collects a Super Star in the Super Mario Bros. style.
Paper Mario: The Origami King The original theme plays when Mario collects a Super Star while the Retro Soundbox accessory is equipped.

Arrangements[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. Special[edit]

Super Mario Bros. Special uses a mostly faithful version of the theme; notably, the bassline descends to the fifth of the chord instead of ascending, and includes the major third.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 2 uses an arrangement with PCM percussion samples, which, unlike the original theme, is not swung. This arrangement also returns in version 3.0.0 of Super Mario Maker 2, when a player grabs a Super Star in their SMB2 form, which is exclusive to the Super Mario Bros. style. Like all other level themes, its tempo now increases when the time limit reaches 100 seconds.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

The arrangement in Super Mario Bros. 3 uses both the noise and PCM channels to represent a hi-hat and wood block or conga, respectively. It is reused in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2 in the Super Mario Bros. 3 game style.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario World[edit]

Super Mario World plays the theme on a brass synthesizer and acoustic bass. Due to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's increased number of audio channels, the melody is now voiced in block chords. The hi-hat is similar to the one from Super Mario Bros. 3. This arrangement is reused in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, and Super Mario Maker 2 in the Super Mario World game style.

The theme is also the basis for the Star World map music, with a variation on the melody played over the same chord progression.

Super Mario All-Stars[edit]

In Super Mario All-Stars, a single arrangement is used across all remakes.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario 64[edit]

Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS use an arrangement titled "Powerful Mario" in the official soundtrack for Wing Mario, Vanish Mario, and when a character rides or swims with a Koopa Shell. Another arrangement titled "Metallic Mario" is used for Metal Mario. "Powerful Mario" reuses the countermelody from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island's arrangement, and is itself reused in New Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario Maker while Mario is wearing the Mario costume and has Super Star invincibility. "Metallic Mario" has an original countermelody, and is reused in Super Mario Maker while Mario is wearing the Mario (Silver) or Mario (Gold) costume and has Super Star invincibility.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe[edit]

In Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, the theme bears much similarity to its original version. However, a new arrangement is used in the credits screen, introducing an original melody and chord progression that the original theme is reharmonized to fit.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario Advance[edit]

In Super Mario Advance, the theme strongly resembles the version heard in Super Mario All-Stars.

There is also an additional version of the theme that plays in the Mario Bros. multiplayer battle mode and features the same drums as the theme from the original Super Mario Bros. 2.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

Compared to the version heard in the original Super Mario World, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2's arrangement is much higher pitched. The Star World music also received an updated arrangement.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Like Super Mario Advance's arrangement, the arrangement heard in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 resembles that of Super Mario All-Stars, except played on a higher octave.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Super Mario 64 DS introduces arrangements of "Powerful Mario" for while the player character is riding Hoot and while Mario has Floating Power. The minigames Bounce and Pounce and Bounce and Trounce use another variation as background music, where an electric piano takes over for both the melody and countermelody. This arrangement returns in New Super Mario Bros. for the latter minigame, as well as Balloon Racing, Jumping Brothers, and Jumping Sudden Death, and in the gallery of the Nintendo DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

In addition, there are two arrangements of "Metallic Mario" for while the player character is in Mega form and while Yoshi has Fire Power.

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy uses an arrangement with the countermelody from Yoshi's Island's arrangement for Rainbow Mario, which accelerates over time to reinforce that the power-up is temporary. The theme can also be heard in the background of the Fire Mario theme.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii introduces an arrangement that includes descending F major seventh and E minor seventh arpeggios. It is reused in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, New Super Mario Bros. 2, New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Super Mario Run, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, and Super Mario Maker 2. Additionally, the theme appears in an animation projected at Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo, during the 2019 New Year's celebration, when Mario collects a golden Shiba Inu coin and transforms into Shiba Inu Mario to defeat Bowser.[4]

Help:MediaHaving trouble playing?

In only New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, the music gains bongos and other percussion while one or more of the players is riding a Yoshi. If a Super Star is used from the inventory, a version with much quieter bass and no drums will play on top of the world map music.

In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, during the fourth papercraft battle, the arrangement can be heard when Papercraft Yoshi obtains the Star power-up. This does not return in the Battle Ring version.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 uses a slightly updated version of Super Mario Galaxy's arrangement with added cymbals.

New Super Mario Bros. U[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. U, a chiptune-inspired arrangement with a shaker plays while the Boost Mode player is under the effects of the Boost Star. In this arrangement, one of the harmonies is absent until the theme starts speeding up. This arrangement returns in New Super Luigi U, but is absent in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe as Boost Mode was removed.

In New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, the Super Star arrangement from New Super Mario Bros. Wii has a new variation in which Baby Yoshis sing along to the music. In Mario Golf: Super Rush, the arrangement featuring both the Yoshi drums and Baby Yoshi vocals plays when Mario uses the Super Star in his Special Shot.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Super Mario 3D Land's arrangement is played on synthesizers with strings audible in the background and speeds up when the invincibility is about to wear off. In a demo build of the game showcased during E3 2011, the melody more resembled the Super Mario Galaxy version, had a different echo effect, squelchy percussion was used in the introduction, and the speed-up occurred later.[5][6]
