"Peach's Castle,"[1] originally known as "Inside the Castle Walls,"[2] is a musical theme composed by Koji Kondo for Super Mario 64, where it plays in the Mushroom Castle. In subsequent games and other works in the Super Mario franchise, this theme is often used as a leitmotif for Princess Peach and her castle.

Composition

The original version of the theme heard in Super Mario 64 is played by a string ensemble. In the A section, all of the parts harmonize the melody's rhythm, aside from pizzicato runs, contrasting the melody with brief silences. This leads into a contrapuntal legato B section.

Reuses

The following list does not include ports or remakes of Super Mario 64.

The second theme increases the tempo and plays the motif on pizzicato strings, while also adding flute to the first theme's orchestration.

The third theme uses synthesized instruments, playing the motif on synth strings and multiple staccato synthesizers.

The fourth theme adds orchestral instruments, playing a variation of the A section on lead synthesizer, and the B section on strings.

The fifth theme is a traditional arrangement of "Peach's Castle," but with a shaker and wood block remaining in the background.

In the emergency theme, the "Peach's Castle" motif is played on a sine synthesizer.

The "Peach's Castle" motif is used in the jingle that plays when Peach's Castle is 100% rebuilt.
