“This forms one single musical theme, together with the previous track. There's a huge variety of instruments used on the game's soundtrack. To get across the garishness of Bowser World, we made full use of the electric guitar here. The music swells as Mario ascends the Great Tower.”
—Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack

"The Great Tower Showdown 2"[1][2] is a musical theme composed by Mahito Yokota for Super Mario 3D World, where it plays during the second phase of the final boss battle against Meowser in The Great Tower of Bowser Land.
