Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars features two arrangements of "Map 1 World", both arranged by Yoko Shimomura. The first, titled 「お花畑にて」 (Ohanabatake Nite, "In The Flower Garden") in the game's official soundtrack, plays in the game's opening cutscene. It is a slower, more grandiose arrangement of the theme that quickly transitions to become ominous as Bowser kidnaps Peach. This theme can also be heard at the beginning of the reveal trailer for Super Mario RPG, the game's Nintendo Switch remake.
The second arrangement can be heard in Mario's Pad and is a mashup of "Map 1 World" and the Ground Theme from Super Mario Bros. It is titled "Super Pipe House" in the game's official soundtrack.
