SMAS
Which part of Ending exactly is the Mario All-Stars fanfare based on? If it's this part, it seems like it was just coincidental. 21:26, September 6, 2023 (EDT)
 * The Mario All-Stars fanfare is an abbreviated arrangement of 0:24-0:27 of "Ending" (this part). The notes of Ending are Ab-A-B-C-A; Ab-G-Ab-A-E, and the notes of the SMAS fanfare are A-A-B-C-E, which is taken directly from the beginning and end of this section of "Ending" (Ab-A-B-C-A; Ab-G-Ab-A-E) The only difference is that the Ab is replaced with an A. The Ab serves as a walkup note to the A, and simplifying a piece by replacing a walkup note with the note it is leading up to (ex. Ab-A becoming A-A) is extremely common in music and doesn't make it a different piece at all. Additionally, the context of this arrangement's inclusion is important to consider. It is used in a very similar context to SMW (the successful ending of a game) and was included only 3 years after the release of SMW. In my opinion, the combination of all of these things solidifies the SMAS fanfare as an abbreviated arrangement of "Ending" rather than a simple coincidence.
