Arrangements

Super Mario series

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.

Super Mario Maker 2

In Super Mario Maker 2, an ambient Latin jazz arrangement of "Snowball Park" using eight tracks that fade in and out randomly to create a dynamic mix plays while editing Super Mario 3D World-style snow-themed courses in the Course Maker.
