Super Mario 3D LandEdit
Super Mario 3D Land marks the first appearance of "Snow Course."
Super Mario 3D WorldEdit
- “This is a theme we also used for the icy mountains in SUPER MARIO 3D LAND. Wii U gave us a great opportunity to give it a more expansive arrangement. The rhythm is enhanced by the use of a bandoneon, which adds its distinctive tones to the music.”
- —Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
In Super Mario 3D World and the Nintendo Switch port, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, an arrangement of "Snow Course" with cleaner and softer instrumentation plays in Snowball Park and Ty-Foo Flurries. It is titled "Snowball Park" in the official Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack album. It is also included in the official album The 30th Anniversary Super Mario Bros. Music.
