- “It's always fun coming up with a cute little tune. It's been quite a while since we've created a theme for a new character. Hopefully this is one we'll be hearing more of in the future.”
- —Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
"Sprixie Princess Theme"[2][3] is a musical theme composed by Mahito Yokota for Super Mario 3D World, where it plays in the Sprixie Houses. This theme serves as a leitmotif for the Sprixie Princesses, reappearing multiple times throughout the game in association with them.

- “This music plays as the Sprixie Princess creates a new pipe for you to go through, allowing you to continue your adventure. We came up with this little tune which we hope suits the moment.”
- —Liner notes for "On to the Next World" in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
- “As you rescue the Sprixie Princess, you are greeted by a bright new dawn. We aimed to portray that feeling with this music.”
- —Liner notes for "Final Curtain for Meowser" in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
- “It's time for the final curtain, so we pulled out all the stops. You may think we're laying it on a bit thick, but it has to be done, doesn't it?”
- —Liner notes for "Grand Finale" in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
Super Mario 3D World marks the first appearance of "Sprixie Princess Theme". It is also included in the official Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album.
The game also features five additional arrangements of the theme:
- A much faster-paced arrangement of "Sprixie Princess Theme" plays during the opening cutscene when the green Sprixie Princess appears. It is titled "Sprixie Kingdom" in the Nintendo Music app and the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album.
- An arrangement of the intro of "Sprixie Princess Theme" plays upon the player exiting a castle level after completing it for the first time (sans Bowser's Lava Lake Keep). Another arrangement then plays during the cutscene of the Sprixie Princess that was just saved building the Clear Pipe for the player to access the next world. It is titled "On to the Next World" in the Nintendo Music app and the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album.
- A slower-paced, calmer arrangement of "Sprixie Princess Theme" plays after Meowser is defeated and in the area following the battle. It is titled "Final Curtain for Meowser" in the Nintendo Music app and the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album.
- A brief arrangement of "Sprixie Princess Theme" plays after completing The Great Tower of Bowser Land. It is titled "Grand Finale" in the Nintendo Music app and the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album. This arrangement also quotes "Super Bell Hill" from the same game.
- A brief arrangement of "Sprixie Princess Theme" plays when the Sprixie Princesses build a rocket in World 1 for the player to access the bonus worlds in outer space. It is titled "Up to the Sky" in the Nintendo Music app and the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album.
"Sprixie Princess Theme" and all of the aforementioned themes return in the Nintendo Switch port, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, for the same purposes.
