Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2

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

Like the Super Mario World original, additional percussion is added to the instrumentation when the player rides a Yoshi.

Mario Roulette

An arrangement of the "Athletic Theme" plays while playing the main game of Mario Roulette, an arcade medal game with graphics based heavily on Super Mario World and the gameplay of its bonus game.

Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World

An arrangement of the "Athletic Theme" is one of the themes that can play while playing the pinball arcade game Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Super Smash Bros. Melee includes a bluegrass arrangement of the "Athletic Theme" played on banjo with upright bass and bongo accompaniment, titled "Yoshi's Island" and arranged by HAL Laboratory composer Hirokazu Ando. It is the default music for the Yoshi's Island stage.

The arrangement returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, now titled "Yoshi's Island (Melee)", where it can be played on the Yoshi's Island stage, in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where it can be played on the Yoshi's Island stage and the Super Mario Maker stage, and in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now titled "Athletic Theme - Super Mario World", where it can be played on any Super Smash Bros.-series and Yoshi-series stage. In all reappearances except Brawl, it is categorized as a Yoshi-series track, rather than a Super Mario-series track.

Additionally, a live fiddle arrangement of the "Athletic Theme" with orchestral accompaniment is included in the track "Smash Bros. Great Medley" in the Super Smash Bros. Melee: Smashing...Live! album.
