Arrangements
Super Mario 3D World
Super Mario 3D World features a new arrangement of "The Toad Brigade" titled "Captain Toad Goes Forth" in the game's soundtrack. The first half of the arrangement is almost identical to the Super Mario Galaxy original, but the second half includes a new extended melody heard in later arrangements of the theme. It plays in the Captain Toad's Adventures levels Captain Toad Goes Forth, Captain Toad Makes a Splash, Captain Toad Gets Thwomped, and Captain Toad Takes a Spin.
A ghost house-style arrangement of "The Toad Brigade" titled "Captain Toad Plays Peek-a-Boo" plays in the level of the same name.
The track "Captain Toad's Fiery Finale," which can be heard in the level of the same name, features an arrangement of the main motif of "The Toad Brigade" throughout.
All of these arrangements are reused for the same purpose in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

WarioWare: Get It Together!
WarioWare: Get It Together! features a brief arrangement of "The Toad Brigade" that plays in the microgame Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. The tempo is slowed down to match the ticking of the bomb, which increases as the microgame's score increases.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
The Super Mario Bros. Movie features arrangements of "The Toad Brigade" in two tracks: "Strange New World" and "Level Complete." In "Strange New World," an arrangement of "The Toad Brigade," including the extended melody from Super Mario 3D World, plays during the scene when Mario first meets Toad.
In "Level Complete," the main motif of the "The Toad Brigade" plays interspersed throughout the arrangement of the "Underground Theme" from Super Mario Bros. towards the beginning of the track. "Level Complete" plays during the film's credits, and the arrangement of "The Toad Brigade" first plays when Keegan-Michael Key is credited as the voice actor for Toad.
