(First topic)

Per this proposal, musical themes must appear in at least 8 pieces of Super Mario-related media, not counting appearances of the theme in retro services, to be considered "recurring".

Per this proposal, if the musical theme originates in something that does not have a dedicated article on this wiki, only appearances in non-crossover pieces of Super Mario-related media count towards the threshold.

Appearances that do not count towards the "recurring" threshold should still be noted within the recurring theme's article, such as appearances in non-Super Mario-related media.

Per this proposal, themes with official names (not counting internal names) can now get articles even if they aren't considered recurring. However, themes without official names can still only get articles if they meet the "recurring" criteria. Additionally, themes that are arrangements of other themes are covered in the original theme's article unless the arrangement itself meets the "recurring" criteria, in which case it can be split.

Here are examples of what would and would not count towards the “8 pieces of media” threshold:

Counts towards the threshold:
  • Any form of a theme in the original game.
  • Any form of a theme in a remake of the original game.
  • Any form of a theme in another game.
  • Any form of a theme in a remake of another game.
  • Any form of a theme in a Super Mario-related crossover (if the theme originates in the greater Super Mario franchise)
  • Any form of a theme in any other type of Super Mario-related piece of media.
Doesn't count towards the threshold:
  • Any form of a theme in a retro service.
  • Any form of a theme in a piece of non-Super Mario-related media.
  • Any form of a theme in a crossover (if the theme originates outside of the greater Super Mario franchise)

All themes in green are considered recurring. Once a recurring theme has been added to the recurring template, its article has been created and all its occurrences have been accounted for in its article, it should be removed from this list. NB: This page is for tracking the number of appearances of themes until they reach at least eight, so they can be added to the recurring themes and sound effects template. Please do not remove any themes of sound effects from the list that has fewer than eight appearances in Mario-related media.

HELP: Easy places to look for reuses and arrangements: Crossover game series (Super Smash Bros.; Mario & Sonic...); Donkey Konga series; Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix; remakes, reissues and ports; established game series (Super Mario; Mario Kart...); Albums; TV/film adaptations. Themes in trailers/teasers and annoncements are fine as long as they are part of a video montage.
