“We used wind instruments for this march tune. If you listen carefully, you'll notice that the orchestra plays the piece in its entirety, ending as you reach the goal. The arrangement varies depending on the speed of your progress.”
—Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack

"Switch Scramble Circus"[2][3] is a musical theme in Super Mario 3D World, where it plays in the levels Switch Scramble Circus, Tricky Trapeze Theater, and Switch Shock Circus. Different sections of this theme play as the player progresses throughout these courses. When the player touches the Goal Pole, the theme transitions into a coda.
