Arrangements
Super Mario series
VS. Super Mario Bros.
The theme returns in VS. Super Mario Bros., the arcade version, but with an extended melody that was composed for the original game, but was removed due to storage limitations.[1]
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, the arrangement from VS. Super Mario Bros. is reused but it features slightly different instrumentation, and includes a second verse four steps above the original pitch. It plays once the player completes World 8-4 or World D-4.
This version is also used in All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. after completing World 8-4 or World D-4.

Super Mario Bros. 3
The theme also appears in Super Mario Bros. 3, once again as the player completes the final level, World 8-
Bowser's Castle. It plays at a slightly slower tempo and with a subtle echo effect added, while also including the unique extended melody from VS. Super Mario Bros..
This arrangement is reused in Super Mario Maker at the end of a 100-Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher if the final level is in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style.

Super Mario 64
In Super Mario 64, an arrangement is meshed into the theme that plays when Peach thanks Mario for recovering all of the stolen Power Stars to the Mushroom Castle. The theme is reused in Super Mario 64 DS for the same purpose.
Super Mario Sunshine
In Super Mario Sunshine, a brief arrangement plays in the ending scene where the group of Toads present to Mario and Peach the newly restored F.L.U.D.D.
New Super Mario Bros.
A glockenspiel arrangement appears in New Super Mario Bros. after the player rescues Peach in the final level, World 8-
Bowser's Castle.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Two harp arrangements appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii in the final main level, World 8-
Bowser's Castle. The first plays after Bowser is defeated the first time, and includes a tune-out after "Peach" is revealed to be Kamek in disguise. A more faithful arrangement plays after the player rescues Peach for real, including the extended melody from VS. Super Mario Bros..
The "fakeout" variation of the theme is reused in Super Mario Maker during the ending of a world in 10-Mario Challenge, or at the end of a 100-Mario Challenge on Easy difficulty, if the final level is in the New Super Mario Bros. U style.

New Super Mario Bros. 2
Two arrangements appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, ostensibly based on both arrangements from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and both of which play in the final main level, World 6-
Bowser Castle. The "fakeout" variation is mostly faithful to the original, except that the theme ends on a descending C diminished triad instead. The variation that plays after Peach is rescued for real adds a vibraphone and glockenspiel to the instrumentation.
The "true" variation of the theme is reused in Super Mario Run after the player completes the final main level, Bowser's Bob-ombing Run, albeit without the extended melody.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
A brief orchestral arrangement plays in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe in the final main level, The Final Battle (and its identically-named counterpart), played on a harp as the lead instrument and with viola accompaniment. Notably, the second-to-last note is omitted for allowing the remaining last three notes to coincide with the cinematic of Peach kissing the player, followed by them doing a victory pose.
This arrangement is reused in Super Mario Maker during the at the end of a 100-Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher if the final level is in the New Super Mario Bros. U style.
