"Flying Battleship Theme"[1] is a musical theme used in the Super Mario Maker series for airship courses in the Super Mario Bros. game style. The theme was introduced in Super Mario Maker, as Super Mario Bros. did not originally feature airship levels. Like Airship BGM, the theme's Super Mario Bros. 3 counterpart, "Flying Battleship Theme" has since has been arranged in other Super Mario games.
Arrangements[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Maker[edit]
Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker 2, and the former game's Nintendo 3DS port, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, also feature an arrangement of the theme that is played when editing courses in the Super Mario Bros. game style. This arrangement is composed of multiple layers that dynamically fade in and out.

An orchestral version of the theme is heard during the ending of the opening cutscene. The complete track, titled "The Skies above Peach's Castle"[1], is featured on the Super Mario Odyssey Original Soundtrack and Nintendo Music. A similar arrangement is featured in the cutscene played after the first Bowser boss fight, titled "Bowser's Bombardment: The Odyssey Goes Down"[1].
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
In Super Mario Maker 2, the theme has been tweaked to be more accurate to the sound capabilities of the Nintendo Entertainment System. In addition to the updated theme, the game features a nighttime version of the theme that is played on a music box.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the theme is arranged as part of "Flying Battleship Theme". The first portion of the arrangement features a loose adaptation of the theme's bassline. The arrangement leads into an electric guitar version of the theme's main melody. A variation on this arrangement is played while in Elephant Mario form that adds horns to the main melody.
This version of the theme is then further arranged in "Mecha Maker Battle."
