"Red Streamer Battle"[1] is a musical theme composed for battles in Paper Mario: The Origami King. It is an upbeat track that incorporates jazz, and is heard when it is Mario's turn to attack enemies during battles in Whispering Woods, Toad Town, Graffiti Underground, Picnic Road, Overlook Mountain, and Overlook Tower. A quieter variant that removes the main melody, named "Red Streamer Battle - Thinking", plays when the player is moving the rings in battle, preluding and seamlessly changing to "Red Streamer Battle" once the rings are placed. Both tracks are found in the Red Streamer section of the Musée Champignon's Sound Gallery.
Throughout Paper Mario: The Origami King, "Red Streamer Battle" is rearranged numerous times for each region's streamer. Parts of it are also heard in the game's credits theme.
