Recurring themes

I noticed you added the Underwater Theme and Map 8 World, from Super Mario Bros. 3 and Fossil Falls from Super Mario Odyssey to the Themes template. Do these themes appear at least 8 times? --Conradd (talk) 12:19, April 17, 2024 (EDT)

I'm honestly not sure, but what I do know is that after listening to some soundtracks I noticed that these themes do have some variations. It was just to make sure. For example, the SMB3 underwater theme has been remixed in Mario Maker 2 and Map 8 World has a similar arrangement in its remakes and the Fossil Falls melody was present in the Mario Movie. I just didn't know that there were supposed to be 8 arrangements to begin with. -User:Jude da Dude

We have this talk page. Check it out: https://www.mariowiki.com/Template_talk:Themes. The numbers are for different versions of a theme (remix, rearrangement, whatever you call them). Many games can be put on the same line with a "/" if they are the exact same. In total, you need at least 8 appearances (could be in-game or other media such as TV shows, films, commercials, albums...). It doesn't have to be 8 remixes or 8 arrangements, just 8 appearances. For example, if the Underwater Theme from Super Mario Bros. 3 appears in 8 different things but is the exact same each time, that still counts. --Conradd (talk) 12:43, April 17, 2024 (EDT)

Now that I think about it, I should probably mention that motifs count as appearances too. For example, it is well known that motifs from Rainbow Road (Super Mario Kart) and Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64) reappear in pretty much every new Rainbow Road themes since the beginning of the series. If you think you've found a theme or a motif that appears more than once, feel free to add it to the list in the talk page! --Conradd (talk) 13:19, April 17, 2024 (EDT)
