"Sea Tower" is a collection of themes composed for Paper Mario: The Origami King. These tracks form the background music of the Sea Tower, having various tracks that fade in and out depending on Mario's location and progress. A few of the variations are available in the Purple Streamer section of the Musée Champignon's Sound Gallery.

The track labeled "Sea Tower - 1st Floor" in the museum is a simple percussion beat. In the Sea Tower itself, this backing combines with "Sea Tower - Earth Vellumental Area," a track containing building strings, bells, and percussion, and "Sea Tower - Water Vellumental Area," a track combining a choir with chimes. The theme for the respective area gets louder once Mario enters it, combining with the floor's base percussion track.

"Sea Tower - 2nd Floor" works similarly to the first floor. When the track is played in the museum, only the percussion backing track is heard. In the Sea Tower itself, the backing is combined with "Sea Tower - Fire Vellumental Area," a sitar, horn, and choir track, and "Sea Tower - Ice Vellumental Area," a piano, violin, and percussion track. As with the first floor, a Vellumental area's theme gets louder if Mario goes there.

While the percussion tracks are original, the respective floors contain leitmotifs from "Earth Vellumental Temple," "Water Vellumental Shrine," "Fire Vellumental Cave," and "Ice Vellumental Mountain."
