Per this proposal, musical themes must appear in at least 8 pieces of Super Mario-related media, not counting appearances of the theme in retro services, to have an article created about them.

Per this proposal, if the musical theme originates in something that does not have a dedicated article on this wiki, only appearances in non-crossover pieces of Super Mario-related media count towards the threshold.

Appearances that do not count towards the article creation threshold should still be noted that within the recurring theme's article, such as appearances in retro services and non-Super Mario-related media.

Here are examples of what would and would not count towards the “8 pieces of media” threshold:

Counts towards the threshold:
  • Any form of a theme in the original game.
  • Any form of a theme in a remake of the original game.
  • Any form of a theme in another game.
  • Any form of a theme in a remake of another game.
  • Any form of a theme in a Super Mario-related crossover (if the theme originates in the greater Super Mario franchise)
  • Any form of a theme in any other type of Super Mario-related piece of media.
Doesn't count towards the threshold:
  • Any form of a theme in a retro service.
  • Any form of a theme in a piece of non-Super Mario-related media.
  • Any form of a theme in a crossover (if the theme originates outside of the greater Super Mario franchise)

All themes in green qualify for articles.

HELP: Easy places to look for reuses and arrangements: Crossover game series (Super Smash Bros.; Mario & Sonic...); Donkey Konga series; Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix; remakes, reissues and ports; established game series (Super Mario; Mario Kart...); Albums; TV/film adaptations.

WarioWare series

WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!

(In regards of it being "unnamed", Nintendo Sound Selection Vol.2: Loud Music features a track called ワリオのなんでも会社 ("Wario's Anything Company"), this is the cutscene music for Wario's "Anything Goes" set, which in itself is a remix of the cutscene music for the "Intro" set. Then again, both themes, and Dr. Crygor's theme too (and I presume other cutscene songs as well like 9-Volt's), are arranged from the main theme of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega MicroGame$!, as can be heard in the second half of the title screen theme, as well as the menu theme; and the menu theme was remixed for Brawl under the title "WarioWare, Inc.", so maybe "WarioWare, Inc. (theme)" or "WarioWare, Inc. (main theme)" would be good titles. ArendLogoTransparent.pngrend (talk) (edits) 19:12, July 2, 2024 (EDT))
