Music, and Super Mario Sunshine Original Soundtrack. An additional woodblock beat is added to the instrumentation whenever the player rides a Yoshi. Both the original theme and the woodblock remix return in the Nintendo Switch port, Super Mario 3D All-Stars, for the same purposes.

Mario Power Tennis / New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis[edit]

Mario Power Tennis and the Wii port, New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis, feature two arrangements of "Ricco Habor", both of which were arranged by Motoi Sakuraba.

A simple arrangement of "Ricco Harbor" that omits the main melody plays during the court introduction sequence for Gooper Blooper Court.

A more faithful arrangement of "Ricco Habor" plays in Gooper Blooper Court in the Exhibition mode.
