"Battle Theme" is a musical theme in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, where it plays while battling normal enemies throughout the game. This theme features a melody similar to "Ribbon Road" from Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

This theme features a dynamically changing intro depending on overworld gameplay, with a triumphant intro playing if Mario first strikes, and a distorted intro if the opponent does. This gimmick originates from the first Paper Mario game and returns after being absent from the previous two entries.

Additional distorted variants of all intros exist for when Mario enters a battle while low on health.
