"Sirena Beach"[2][3] is a musical theme composed by Shinobu Nagata for Super Mario Sunshine, where it plays in the location of the same name.
Composition[edit]
"Sirena Beach" is mostly inspired by Hawaiian music, albeit adjusted to be slightly ominous-sounding. An upright bass provides a bassline, while a steel guitar slides repetitively. Synthesizer and maracas play constantly in the background, while electronic organ and acoustic guitar also contribute to the melody.
History[edit]
