Super Mario Maker features three arrangements of "Map 1 World". The first is an ethereal arrangement played with glockenspiel, synthesizer, and bass guitar instrumentation, and it can be heard on the Course World menu. The second is a faithful arrangement played on the glockenspiel and acoustic guitar, and it can be heard on the world map of the 100 Mario Challenge on Easy and Normal difficulty. The third is a sinister synthesizer arrangement of the theme's backing chords in a minor key, and it can be heard on the world map of the 100 Mario Challenge on Expert and Super Expert difficulty.

These arrangements return for the purpose in Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars features two arrangements of "Map 1 World", both arranged by Yoko Shimomura. The first, titled 「お花畑にて」 (Ohanabatake Nite, "In The Flower Garden") in the game's official soundtrack, plays in the game's opening cutscene. It is a slower, more grandiose arrangement of the theme that quickly transitions to become ominous as Bowser kidnaps Peach. This theme can also be heard at the beginning of the reveal trailer for Super Mario RPG, the game's Nintendo Switch remake.

The second arrangement can be heard in Mario's Pad and is a mashup of "Map 1 World" and the Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros. It is titled "Super Pipe House" in the game's official soundtrack.
