"'''Star World (Map Screen)'''"<ref name=NMusic>[[Nintendo Music]]</ref> is a musical theme composed by [[Koji Kondo]] for ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where it plays on the map screen of [[Star World]]. It is an arrangement of "[[Invincibility BGM]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', featuring instrumentation similar to that of its arrangement in ''Super Mario World''. It is characterized by its slower tempo and modified melody: after the theme's two chords are cycled through three times, the melody resolves with the same note repeated five times.
