History[edit]

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Super Mario Odyssey marks the first appearance of "Tostarena Ruins".

A chiptune arrangement of "Tostarena Ruins" plays when Mario is in a 2D section of Tostarena Ruins. It is titled "Tostarena Ruins - 8-Bit" in the Nintendo Music app and "Tostarena: Ruins (8-Bit)" in the game's sound test.

"Tostarena Ruins" is also included in the official albums Super Mario Odyssey Sound Selection and Super Mario Odyssey Original Soundtrack, alongside "Tostarena Ruins - 8-Bit" for the latter album.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

Exclusively in the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS versions of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, the original version of "Tostarena Ruins" plays in the level Secret of the Inverted Pyramid before the Pull Switch is activated.

Mario Kart World[edit]

In Mario Kart World, a Latin rock arrangement of "Tostarena Ruins" can play in Free Roam and on VS Race routes coming from Desert Hills and Shy Guy Bazaar during the day. It is fully titled "Tostarena Ruins (Super Mario Odyssey)" in the Nintendo Music app. This arrangement bears similarity to "Tequila", a Latin rock instrumental first recorded by The Champs in 1958.
