Super Mario series

Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2

An arrangement of "Obake Yashiki BGM" can be heard in Game Boy Advance remake of Super Mario World, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. This version is more compressed than the original version and uses different, lower-quality synthetic instruments.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, an arrangement of "Obake Yashiki BGM" can be heard in the e-Reader levels Doors o' Plenty and Vexing Doors. This arrangement is very similar to the one heard in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2.

New Super Mario Bros.

The beginning of the music heard in Ghost House levels in New Super Mario Bros. uses a similar compositional technique as "Obake Yashiki BGM", beginning with the eerie high notes fading in. The rest of it, however, is completely different.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, the theme heard in Haunty Halls Galaxy and Boo Moon Galaxy, titled 「ゴーストコンベア」 (Gōsuto Konbea, "Ghost Conveyor"), is an arrangement of "Obake Yashiki BGM". While Mario is riding Yoshi, shaker and tambourine percussion is added. The theme was arranged by Mahito Yokota.[1]

Super Mario Maker

In Super Mario Maker 2, "Obake Yashiki BGM" is given an original, more ambient arrangement for editing Ghost House-themed courses in the Course Maker, using eight tracks that fade in and out randomly to create a dynamic mix.

The theme also receives new percussion parts for when Mario rides a Yoshi in the Super Mario World style, as this was impossible in such levels in the original game. Like other themes in the original Super Mario World, the theme adds bongos to the instrumentation in its "Yoshi" variation.

Both of these new arrangements return in their original capacities Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS and Super Mario Maker 2.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star

Paper Mario: Sticker Star features two arrangements of "Obake Yashiki BGM". The music heard outside The Enigmansion is a looping arrangement of the beginning of the theme. The theme heard inside The Enigmansion, titled simply "The Enigmansion" in the Sticker Museum music gallery, incorporates "Obake Yashiki BGM" and "Waltz of the Boos" from Super Mario Galaxy.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a sped-up arrangement of "Obake Yashiki BGM", arranged by Brian Tyler, is briefly heard towards the end of "The Darklands" as Luigi escapes from the horde of Dry Bones in the Dark Lands.
