=Airship Theme (not enough renditions)=
===Soundtracks===
The "'''Airship Theme'''"<ref>''Super Smash Bros.'' series Sound Tests</ref> is the musical theme commonly associated with [[airship]]s in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, originally composed for airship and [[tank]] levels in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' by [[Koji Kondo]]. The theme begins with a military march-like bass drum beat, which plays throughout the rest of the theme. The original Airship Theme is short, lasting 30 seconds, though later arrangements would go on to extend the theme. The original has been reused in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in airship levels of the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style.
{|class=sortable border=1 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse; width:100%"
 
!Work
The Airship Theme received updated arrangements in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s remakes, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In the latter's opening cutscene, the first half of the Airship Theme plays before transitioning to an original piece.

The first arrangement of the Airship Theme outside of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and its remakes is featured in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', which plays when the [[Koopa Bros.]] fire [[Bullet Bill]]s at [[Mario]] when he reaches the [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]]'s rooftop. It was arranged by Yuka Tsujiyoko and is titled "'''Bill Blaster! Go Faster!'''" in the soundtrack.<ref>[https://vgmdb.net/album/2035 Paper Mario Game Music Soundtrack CD].

A fully orchestrated arrangement is later featured in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', arranged by [[Mahito Yokota]]. It plays in [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]] and is named after it in the [[Super Mario Galaxy: Original Soundtrack|official soundtrack]] ("'''Airship Armada'''"). The arrangement is reused in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in the opening; it also returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', though it is slightly different and compressed. A variation of this arrangement also plays in the opening when [[Bowser]] appears, the only differences being a longer introduction and that it ends instead of looping. This variation is titled "'''Attack of the Airships'''" in the official soundtrack, and would later be reused in [[Bowser Jr.]]'s newcomer video for ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' when the [[Koopalings]] appear.

|''[[Super Donkey Kong Game Music CD Jungle Fantasy]]''
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]] in cutscenes involving [[Bowser]] and several fights against a [[False Character]]. The "Hurry Up" tune from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' is also incorporated in the middle of the song. The song reappears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' on the same stage as well as the [[Super Mario Maker (stage)|Super Mario Maker]] stage, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' for any ''Mario''-series stage, and is also used in Bowser Jr.'s newcomer video for the former game.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', a faithful arrangement plays in airship levels, though with extra notes added towards the end of the theme. In the room before a boss fight, only the drum beat plays. The arrangement is reused in airship levels in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' (which also reuses the pre-boss variation), and ''Super Mario Maker'' and ''Super Mario Maker 2'' in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style.

Another arrangement titled "'''Battleship'''" is used in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' in [[Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla]]. This version uses saxophone as its main instrument, one that is common in the game's music, and is based on ''Super Mario Galaxy''{{'}}s arrangement. An excerpt is reused in Bowser Jr.'s newcomer video for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', and also incorporated into the "Paper Mario Medley" (though with an electric guitar added) in the same games and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', which plays on the [[Paper Mario (stage)|Paper Mario]] stage, [[Woolly World]] stage, and any ''Mario''-series stage respectively.

In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', an arrangement played on a French horn titled "'''Bowser's Airship Aloft'''" plays outside [[the Crimson Tower]] when the giant bucket of paint is carried up by the airship, but stops abruptly when it is held down by an anchor. After Mario frees the anchor from [[Bowser Tape]], the music continues playing when he boards the airship himself.
