Super Mario 3D World
- “This is a theme we also used for the icy mountains in SUPER MARIO 3D LAND. Wii U gave us a great opportunity to give it a more expansive arrangement. The rhythm is enhanced by the use of a bandoneon, which adds its distinctive tones to the music.”
- —Liner notes in the Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack
In Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, an arrangement of "Snow Course" with cleaner and softer instrumentation, titled "Snowball Park" in the game's official soundtrack, plays in Snowball Park and Ty-Foo Flurries. This arrangement returns in Super Mario Maker 2, where it plays during snow-themed courses in the Super Mario 3D World style.
