In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', two arrangements that incorporate the Underground Theme's main motif appear in the game. One of them plays in underground levels and areas, and reduces the main motif to three notes, sounding similar to the Delfino Airstrip theme from ''Super Mario Sunshine''. The other, quieter, arrangement plays in darker levels such as [[Swamp Pipe Crawl]], [[Light-Switch Mansion]], and [[Another Uncharted Area: Swaying Ruins]]. For both themes, if the player character is in their [[Elephant Mario|Elephant form]], the lead instrument will be changed into brass horns, reminiscent of an elephant trumpeting.

The last few notes of the Underground Theme can also be heard mixed into one of the [[Wonder Effect]] themes, which plays during more chaotic Wonders such as the Flying Battleship ones, or when the player is being chased by a [[Rift Mario|dark clone]].
