The boss music for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' is considered to be the Koopalings' theme. The song is composed of several fast-paced beats, with longer notes mixed within. However, starting with ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', it became more clearly associated with them, as they no longer shared the theme with [[Boom Boom]]. In the latter, a rearragement of the original version was played when fighting them at the tower levels. In the castle levels, and their fights from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' onward, a different, slower-paced arrangement was played. In ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', each Koopaling got a unique battle theme for the first time.<ref name="PMCSAKBT">Fieke Meowstic (September 27, 2016).

Wendy's theme has mostly horns, bagpipes, acoustic guitar and deep vocals. Iggy has trumpets, horns, bass drums, and electronic mixes. Lemmy's theme consists of bandoneon, viola, violin, pizzicato cello, xylophone, trombone, drum percussion and fast-pacing tempo to replicate his circus boss fight and personality. Morton has electronic themes, violin, cello, harpsichord, and sound effects. Ludwig has electronic themes with piano at the beginning, then electric guitar, trumpets, whistles, drums, xylophone, marimba and rasta-esque percussion to reflect the military and aquatic secret base themes of the battle. Aside from their individual boss themes, they also share an individual intro theme that consists of an organ and guitar strings (with the exception of Ludwig and Roy), which had been taken from the Tension theme used for the Royal Sticker bosses' introduction in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. | ||
