"Staff Credits",[2] also known as simply "Credits",[3] is a musical theme composed by Koji Kondo for Super Mario Sunshine, where it plays during the game's staff credits. It is an upbeat Latin arrangement of "Isle Delfino" from the same game with Brazilian percussion. It also features whistles and a roaring crowd in the background, likely referencing soccer games, a very popular sport in Latin America and Brazil.
