“A slightly plaintive violin melody is just perfect for a haunted house, don't you think? There's something about that sound that can send a chill down your spine... As graphics have improved and the action in the haunted house has got more immersive, we found there was no need to make the music too scary or over-the-top. We opted instead for a bright, dynamic performance from the orchestra.”
—Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack

"Shifty Boo Mansion"[1][2] is a musical theme composed by Mahito Yokota for Super Mario 3D World, where it plays in the levels Shifty Boo Mansion, Spooky Seasick Wreck, A Beam in the Dark, Gigantic Seasick Wreck, and Shiftier Boo Mansion.
