Quotes from
"Ground BGM" (Super Mario Bros.)

"Battle - Chapter 1" is a musical theme inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It serves as the battle theme, playing during standard encounters against enemies. It is a loose arrangement of "Ground BGM" fromSuper Mario Bros.

Arrangements[edit]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)[edit]

TheNintendo Switch remake ofPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door introduces nine different arrangements of the battle theme. Similar to thebattle theme ofPaper Mario: The Origami King, these arrangements will play in different areas throughout the game. Each one also features an additional part not heard in the original theme.

  • "Battle - Chapter 1" plays during battles inRogueport Underground,Petal Meadows,Path to Shhwonk Fortress, andShhwonk Fortress. It is done in a big band style, as opposed to the original's synthetic instrumentation.
  • "Battle - Chapter 2" plays during battles inBoggly Woods andthe Great Tree. This arrangement has a focus on flutes and brass instruments.
  • "Battle - Chapter 3" plays during battles in theGlitz Pit. It is a hard rock cover with a prominent focus on electric guitar.
  • "Battle - Chapter 4" plays during battles inTwilight Trail andCreepy Steeple. It is a pop-styled arrangement that incorporates synths, piano, and an organ.
  • "Battle - Chapter 5" plays during battles inKeelhaul Key andPirate's Grotto. This rendition is tribal-based with a heavy emphasis on percussion, and is in theMixolydian mode.
  • "Battle - Chapter 6" plays during battles inRiverside Station. It is a big-band jazz arrangement with a focus on brass instruments and percussion. This arrangement is quoted in the "Staff Credits" track from 3:28 to 3:38.
  • "Battle - Chapter 7" plays during battles in thePath to Fahr Outpost. It is a disco-styled arrangement with a focus on synthesizers.
  • "Battle - The Moon" plays during battles on theMoon and inX-Naut Fortress. It is a fast-paced rave arrangement with a mix of electronic and synthetic instruments.
  • "Battle - Extra" plays during battles inHooktail Castle,Poshley Sanctum, thePalace of Shadow courtyard andtower, and thePit of 100 Trials. It is a dramatic orchestral rock arrangement with an emphasis on violin.

In addition to the above arrangements, each version has a "(Think)" variation that plays while selecting actions duringMario and his partner's turn. These are similar to the normal renditions, but have fewer instruments. The beginning of each theme also changes slightly depending on if Mario or his enemy gets aFirst Strike.

In the Sound Gallery, each version and their Think variation is listed under its respective chapter, with Battle - Extra being listed under "Special".

If theNostalgic Tunes badge is equipped, all variations will be changed to the original battle theme from theNintendo GameCube version. The new variations also cannot be played in the Sound Gallery.
