“Cat Mario's the star of the show this time round, so the aim with this theme was to capture the fun of bounding around all over the place. We used percussion instruments with pan pipes and trombone to give the sense of a wide open plain. Listen carefully and you'll also hear a guitar lick at the end which sounds like a cat's meow!”
—Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack

"Sprawling Savanna"[1] is a musical theme composed by Toru Minegishi for Super Mario 3D World, where it plays in the levels Ant Trooper Hill, Spike's Lost City, Sprawling Savanna, Bullet Bill Base, Spiky Mount Beanpole, and Sprawling Savanna Rabbit Run, as well as the ending section of Fuzzy Time Mine.
