"Bonus Area"[1] is a recurring musical theme that appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, playing in various bonus areas within the game. This theme replaces the bonus area theme appearing in New Super Mario Bros. It would be rearranged throughout the New Super Mario Bros. series.

Reuses[edit]

The following list does not include ports or remakes of New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Work Description
Taiko no Tatsujin "Bonus Area" is included in the "New Super Mario Bros. Wii Medley" track, available in various games starting from Taiko no Tatsujin Wii: Minna de Party Sandaime!
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker 2 "Bonus Area" plays when the "Bonus Music" sound effect is triggered in New Super Mario Bros. U-style courses.

Arrangements[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, bongo percussion is added to the instrumentation of "Bonus Area" whenever a player is riding a Yoshi.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. 2, an arrangement of "Bonus Area" plays in Rainbow Courses.

New Super Mario Bros. U[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. U, vocalizations are added to the original theme whenever a player holds onto a Baby Yoshi. This remix is reused for the same purpose in New Super Luigi U, New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. A remix of the percussion that plays whenever a player is riding a Yoshi from New Super Mario Bros. Wii goes unused as Yoshis do not appear in bonus areas.[2] This remix was later used for this purpose in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2.
