"Course Clear"

"Course Clear" in Super Mario Bros.
Composed by:
Koji Kondo
First appearance Super Mario Bros. (1985)
Latest appearance The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

"Course Clear"[1] is a short musical fanfare composed for Super Mario Bros. by Koji Kondo. It plays whenever the player completes a level, excluding castle levels, which feature their own unique fanfare. The theme has gone on to become a recurring theme in the Super Mario franchise, where it is usually heard when successfully completing a level, mission, fight, or some other objective.

Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2

In Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, if the player finds all exits in the game, a medley arrangement of "Course Clear" and the "Ground Theme" from Super Mario Bros. will play during the cutscene where Luigi rides in a hot air balloon throwing masks and Koopa Troopas put them on.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, an abbreviated arrangement of the end of "Course Clear" plays when the player reaches the Goal Pole in the e-Reader card levels Classic World 1-1, Classic World 1-2, Classic World 1-3, and Classic World 2-2. Unlike other games, this theme does not signify the end of the level, as the true goal comes after the Goal Pole, so the Super Mario Bros. "Ground Theme" resumes playing until the true goal is reached.

Super Mario 3D Land

In Super Mario 3D Land, an arrangement of "Course Clear" plays when completing World 2-3 and Special 1-3.

Super Mario Maker

If the player completes a level in the Super Mario Bros. style with the Arino KACHO costume, Shinya Arino, host of GameCenter CX, sings along with "Course Clear".[2]

Romanization Translation

Clear shimashita yo,
Clear shimashita yo,
Dinner mae ni kaereru kamo

I cleared it!
I cleared it!
Maybe I can get home before dinner!

If the player completes a level in the Super Mario Bros. style with the Yu Ayasaki costume, she sings along with "Course Clear" via non-lexical vocables.

If the player completes a level in the Super Mario Bros. style with the Kitty White or Melody costume, a music box version of "Course Clear" plays.
