The "Grassland Theme"[1] is the main theme of Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It plays in Welcome to the Flower Kingdom! and Scram, Skedaddlers!, and was also used in the game's first trailer. Unlike its arrangements, it uses two-beat breaks between each bar of the melody in its first and third sections.

The "Title Screen" theme, named so in the Nintendo Music app, is a calmer, steel guitar arrangement of the "Grassland Theme".
The theme that plays in the playable area before the intro cutscene, titled "Prologue: The Flower Kingdom" in the Nintendo Music app, incorporates brief arrangements of the "Grassland Theme" near the beginning and in the coda.
The jingle that plays at the end of the intro cutscene, titled "Prologue: Adventure Awaits!" in the Nintendo Music app, incorporates a brief arrangement of the "Grassland Theme" when all the characters take off running to chase after Castle Bowser.
A (genre) arrangement of the "Grassland Theme" plays in Pipe-Rock Plateau's main overworld levels, titled the "Savanna Theme" in the Nintendo Music app.
A fast-paced, bluegrass(?) arrangement of the "Grassland Theme" plays in sky-themed areas, titled the "Athletic Theme" in the Nintendo Music app. The main melody is slightly different, but maintains the same chord structure. The last section is also similar to that of the "Savanna Theme"'s. Unlike most athletic themes in the Super Mario series, it lacks transposition from the "Grassland Theme".
A slow, orchestral arrangement of the "Grassland Theme" plays in badge challenge levels, titled "Badge Challenge" on the Nintendo Music app.
An Arabic-style arrangement of the "Grassland Theme" plays in Sunbaked Desert's main overworld levels, titled the "Desert Theme" in the Nintendo Music app.
The music for the ending cutscene before the staff credits, titled "Epilogue: Kingdom in Full Bloom" on the Nintendo Music app, incorporates several quotes of the "Grassland Theme".
The staff credits theme, titled "Starry-Staff Wonder" in the Nintendo Music app, incorporates an arrangement of the "Grassland Theme" at the very start, and briefly near the end.
An arrangement of the "Grassland Theme" plays during the last cutscene after the the staff credits, in which Bowser, Bowser Jr., and Kamek crash into the background. It is titled "Epilogue: Come Back Again Sometime, Yeah?" on the Nintendo Music app.
A trombone is added to the main melodies of the "Grassland Theme"'s, the "Savanna Theme"'s, the "Athletic Theme"'s, and the "Desert Theme"'s when the player is in Elephant form. In the case of the "Grassland Theme", the main vocals are completely replaced, and a xylophone is included. On the Nintendo Music app, these arrangements share the same track as the original in a medley. The same themes fade out their percussion when the player is in a standstill or going through a Warp Pipe.
