Underwater Theme (Super Mario Bros.)
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
The "Underwater Theme" is a recurring musical theme composed by Koji Kondo, first heard in World 2-2 of Super Mario Bros. It was originally set in the key signature C with the time signature of 3/4 that is mostly associated with waltz, playing at a tempo of 226 beats per minute. As it was "easy to imagine what it should be like," it was the first composition Kondo finished for the game.[1] The theme plays in every level and section featuring underwater in Super Mario Bros., with following rearrangements largely featuring as title screen music.
