In Super Mario 3D Land, World 2-3's theme is a sped-up arrangement of "Ground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. to correspond with the voxel art found in the level. It features a lead-up to the second bar, with the first bar omitted, and is transposed to five semitones higher than the original. The entire instrumentation is now swung, rather than just the percussion. This theme also plays in the level's Special 1 counterpart, Special 1-3, and a version without the lead-up also plays in Coin Heavens and in golden Mystery Boxes.
History[edit]

Super Mario 3D Land marks the first appearance of World 2-3's theme.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
- “This is sure to sound familiar: it's an arrangement of the theme from the original Super Mario Bros. The director actually told us that we were free to give it an old-school feel. We are huge fans of 8-bit sound effects, so were happy to add these to the mix.”
- —Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
In Super Mario 3D World and the Nintendo Switch port, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, World 2-3's theme plays in the various Coin Heavens accessed through Cloud Cannons that appear throughout the game, as well as the entirety of Rainbow Run and Coin Express. It is likewise titled "Rainbow Run" in the Nintendo Music app and the official Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album.
