Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros. 2)

The "Ground Theme" is the theme used in ground sections of levels in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, which was later redeveloped as Super Mario Bros. 2. It was composed by Koji Kondo and has been reused and rearranged in several games throughout the Super Mario franchise.
