History[edit]
Mario Kart series[edit]
Mario Kart Arcade GP[edit]
Mario Kart Arcade GP marks the first appearance of the menu theme. It incorporates an arrangement of Ground BGM from Super Mario Bros. for its second half. The theme that plays during the instructions for a challenge is a loose arrangement of the menu theme's main motif. The theme that plays while completing a challenge loosely arranges the menu theme for its first half, with the second half being original. The theme that plays during the game's staff credits quotes the menu theme during its beginning.
