The "Lava Cave / Underground Ruins Theme"[1] is a recurring musical theme from New Super Mario Bros. Wii that plays in World 8-2 and World 8-3. It would be rearranged throughout the New Super Mario Bros. series.

The theme incorporates the first few bars of "Underground BGM" from Super Mario Bros.

Reuses[edit]

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

Work Description
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition "Lava Cave / Underground Ruins Theme" plays in certain lava-themed levels.

Arrangements[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. 2, "Lava Cave / Underground Ruins Theme" plays in World 6-A. In addition, when Mario or Luigi are in their Raccoon/Fox forms, a woodblock beat will play in the theme, much like other courses in the game. A remix that adds a bell synth arpeggiator goes unused as it is intended to play whenever a Gold Ring is active, which does not appear in the course.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

"Lava Cave / Underground Ruins Theme" returns unmodified again in New Super Mario Bros. U, playing in Deepsea Ruins, Rising Tides of Lava, and Swim for Your Life!. In New Super Luigi U, the theme plays in Deepsea Stone-Eyes and Hot Cogs. The theme plays in all five levels in New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. In each game, an additional arrangement containing vocalizations is played when a Baby Yoshi is held in those levels.
