"Teleporter Melody"[1] is a theme in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that plays while Mario or Luigi is temporarily visiting a bonus planetoid through a teleporter. The theme is a frantic piece that uses the whole tone scale and modulates up by a half step each time it repeats. Much like the "Invincibility BGM" arrangements introduced in Super Mario Galaxy (as well as P Switch themes like "Switch On!"), this theme's tempo speeds up as the time limit runs out.
The marimba part is done on an E-mu Virtuoso 2000, the muted cuíca is from a Edirol Studio Canvas SD-90, the electronic drums are done on a Roland Fantom-X8 synthesizer, the acoustic drums is from an unknown source, and the Korg Triton is used for pizzicato strings, synth bass, and sine waves.
History[edit]
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
In Super Mario 3D Land, a faithful arrangement of "Teleporter Melody" plays during Mystery Box segments, which serve the same purpose as the teleporters in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Like the original, the theme speeds up as the time limit runs out.
For this arrangement, the vibraphone comes from "FS Vibe" (a bank found in Preset A of Roland Fantom-X8) and the music box comes from "Childlike" (a bank found in Preset A of Roland XV-5080); the cuíca comes from the Roland SRX-09 World Collection, and all the other instruments come from the Roland Fantom-X8.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
In Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, an arrangement titled "Going All Out in the Mystery House" in the game's official soundtrack plays in Mystery Box segments. The arrangement is very similar to its Super Mario 3D Land counterpart, but it features richer sound. The theme's acceleration remains, but it speeds up faster than in Super Mario 3D Land. For this arrangement, the music box comes from "Childlike" (a bank found in Preset A of Roland XV-5080) whilst all the other instruments come from the Roland Fantom-X8.
The opening cutscene of Bowser's Fury features a different arrangement of this theme while Mario follows a trail of black goop.
