Super Mario Party Jamboree and the Nintendo Switch 2 port, Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, feature three arrangements of "Western Land".
A brief arrangement of "Western Land" plays during the intro cutscene to Western Land. It is titled "Western Land - Opening" in the Nintendo Music app.
An arrangement of "Western Land" plays in the board of the same name. It is titled "Western Land 1" in the Nintendo Music app and the game's sound test. This arrangement is mostly faithful to the original theme, except the "Minsky Pickup" melody is omitted, and it adds an extra section before the loop that quotes the main theme from Super Mario Party.
A faster-paced, more energetic arrangement of "Western Land 1" plays during the last five turns on Western Land. It is titled "Western Land 2" in the game's sound test and the Nintendo Music app.
For both "Western Land 1" and "Western Land 2", whenever a full turn has finished, the theme transitions into a coda.
