I seriously don't get the use of the "quoted by" and "arrangement of" on the Mario Kart 8 Title Screen, if Super Mario Kart Title Screen lists the MK8 Title Screen as "arranged in", then MK8 Title Screen should list the latter as "arrangement of", not "quotes from". And if it does really need to list SMK Title Screen as "quotes from", then SMK Title Screen should list it as "quoted by". Not that one article says "arranged" and the other "quotes". That makes no sense. Not to mention MK8 Title Screen literally says "[…]this theme fully arranges (notice that it says "fully arranges"?) the original version of the theme, and arranges only the last six notes of the elongated version (Mario Kart 64 Title Screen) from Mario Kart 64." If it arranges the main theme and only the last six notes of an arrangement, making this theme both an arrangement of the original and an arrangement of an arrangement of the original. And assuming that MK64 Title Screen is a full arrangement of SMK Title Screen, then that proves my point even more that MK8 Title Screen is simply an arrangement of SMK Title Screen that also quotes from another arrangement of that theme (MK64 Title Screen).

- "Mario Kart 8 Title Screen" shouldn't use "arrangement of" because that implies it is mostly an arrangement of "Super Mario Kart Title Screen", which is not the case. Also, in Template:Theme infobox, the section for "arranged in" literally says "Themes with their own articles that are arrangements of the subject", which I've already stated doesn't apply to "Mario Kart 8 Title Screen". So with all of that in mind, I think it would make the most sense for "Super Mario Kart Title Screen" to have "Mario Kart 8 Title Screen" be quoted by that theme, even though I am fully aware that the former is technically fully arranged in the latter.

I think it's fair to refer to the SMK section of MK8's Title Theme as the theme "fully arranging" the theme, because it is a full arrangement of it, but, since the majority of the song is an original composition, it should be listed as a quotation.
