"Player Down"

"Lost a Life" in Super Mario Bros.
Composed by:
Koji Kondo
First appearance Super Mario Bros. (1985)
Latest appearance Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023)

"Lost a Life"[1] is a recurring musical theme composed by Koji Kondo, first appearing in Super Mario Bros. In its original appearance, as well as in most of its reappearances, the theme can be heard whenever the player loses a life. It is a brief arrangement of the Super Mario Bros. "Ground Theme."

Composition

"Lost a Life" is an arranged excerpt of the "Ground Theme" taken from the last several notes of the theme before it loops. Koji Kondo's idea behind this theme was to motivate players to try again, rather than using sounds that would otherwise discourage them.[2][3]
