Notes[edit]

  • The arrangement of the Ground Theme heard on "Mario Syndrome" is similar to "Super Mario 2007," the arrangement used for Toy Time Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy and Supermassive Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
  • Although the sprite of Mario depicted on the front cover is similar to Super Mario, it actually recreates a transitional sprite seen for a single frame when Small Mario picks up a Super Mushroom or when Mario powers down to Small Mario.[2]
  • While tracks one and two's Japanese titles are katakana renderings of their English titles, track three is slightly more liberal. The Japanese title for track three translates to "I Am Princess Peach," while the English name listed on the packaging is simply "Princess Peach."
  • "Mario Syndrome (Re-Mix Version)" also appears on Disco Night Fever, a 1986 Italo disco compilation by King Records sublabel Seven Seas.[3]
