"Underwater Theme"[1] is a recurring musical theme introduced in Super Mario 3D Land that is played in beach levels. The theme is dynamic: when the player is above water, the normal variation with full instrumentation plays, and when the player is submerged in water, a simpler, more subdued variation plays.
Arrangements
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U feature a remix of "Underwater Theme" in the "Super Mario 3D Land Theme / Beach Theme" medley track, appearing on the 3D Land stage in the former game and the Delfino Plaza stage in the latter game. The arrangement reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now titled '"Ground Theme / Underwater Theme - Super Mario 3D Land", and can be played on any Super Smash Bros.-series or Super Mario-series stage.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
A second arrangement of "Underwater Theme" is introduced in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its port. Like in Super Mario 3D Land, the theme has two distinct variations for when the player is above or below water. The levels Briny Bowl Swimming Hole and Floaty Fun Water Park use the theme.
