The following is a list of the various songs featured in the Super Mario World animated series.[1] In all, there are fifteen songs, one for each episode plus the theme song and the Korean dub exclusive song "Super Mario." Each song corresponds to the theme of the episode. For example, in "The Yoshi Shuffle," the theme for the episode is football, so the song that corresponds to that episode is about fighting to the finish. Unlike the predecessors, which featured covers of licensed music, no songs on the Super Mario World cartoon were changed or removed due to copyright restrictions, since they were all written (and some parodied) exclusively for the show. All songs were composed by Michael Tavera and Monroe Michaels.[2]
The Italian dub uses instrumentals of all of the songs except "Kootie Pie Rap" and "Cheatsy's Life," which are translated; the Brazilian Portuguese dub translates all songs with the exception of the intro theme, "Tail of the Dinosaur," and "Looking for You;" the Hungarian dub uses the instrumental versions for "Motor City," "At the Circus," "Time to Run," and "Time to Get Wild;" the Turkish dub[3] uses the instrumentals for "Kootie Pie Rap," "Motor City," "At the Circus," and "Wizard," and the Latin American Spanish and Romanian[4] dubs translate "Kootie Pie Rap," while all other dubs leave the songs in English. The Korean dub, while still leaving the songs in English (except for the second part of "Rah-Rah," which uses the instrumental), has Korean subtitles on-screen.
Super Mario World Main Title[edit]

"Super Mario World Main Title"[5] is the opening theme to the animated series. An instrumental version is used as the credits theme, as well as the opening sequence for Mario All Stars. Additionally, a short alternate mix of the instrumental, known as "Captain N/Super Mario World Show Preview"[2] is used for the show's episode previews, commercial bumpers, and the Captain N and the New Super Mario World credits, albeit the credits' case is pitched and sped up. However, early German broadcasts used the intro with the German translation of The Mario Rap from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! instead.[6]
