The "Ground Theme" is a musical theme composed by Shiho Fujii for above-ground levels in New Super Mario Bros. U.

Reuses
The following list does not include ports or remakes of New Super Mario Bros. U.

New Super Mario Bros. U
Arrangements of the "Ground Theme" are included in various themes throughout New Super Mario Bros. U. The themes heard in athletic and anow levels and on the title screen are full arrangements of the "Ground Theme", and arrangements of the "Ground Theme" are included in the themes heard on the game's main menu and during the credits.

All of these arrangements return for the same purpose in New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.

The themes heard in athletic and snow levels are reused in Super Mario Maker 2 for sky-themed and snow-themed levels, respectively, in the New Super Mario Bros. U style.

The athletic theme plays levels 2 and 3 of the New Super Mario Bros. U microgame, though its tempo has been slowed down to match the ticking of the bomb.

Super Mario Maker
Super Mario Maker features an ambient arrangement of the "Ground Theme" using eight tracks that fade in and out randomly to create a dynamic mix. The arrangement is heard while editing New Super Mario Bros. U-style ground-themed courses in the Course Maker.

This arrangement returns in Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS and Super Mario Maker 2, where it is used for the same purpose.

Super Mario Run
Super Mario Run features multiple arrangements of the "Ground Theme", as the game is heavily based on New Super Mario Bros. U. A faithful arrangement of the original "Ground Theme" plays in overworld levels, and a faithful arrangement of the athletic theme plays in athletic levels, and more ethereal versions of these arrangements play during Coin Rush. An arrangement of the main menu theme can be heard on the level select screen, and an arrangement of the title screen theme plays in the Kingdom Builder.

Super Mario Maker 2
Super Mario Maker 2 features a version of the "Ground Theme" that plays during the nighttime version of ground-themed levels in the New Super Mario Bros. U style.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U feature a remix of the "Ground Theme" in the medley track "Style Switch: Ground Theme" along with the Super Mario Bros. "Ground Theme", the Super Mario Bros. 3 "Ground Theme", and the Super Mario World "Ground Theme". It can be played on the Super Mario Maker stage and switches Ground Themes depending on the stage's style.

The track returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now titled "Ground Theme - Super Mario series", which can only be played on the Super Mario Maker stage. It is the only track exclusive to a single stage. Like in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS / Wii U, the track switches Ground Themes depending on the stage's style.
