A variation of "BGM Tride" appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii with the beginning sounding similar to the original. Near the end however, it transitions into a new arrangement not heard in the original. The enemies and power-ups react to the strings in the beginning of the song and the slow twirls Like the original theme, it plays in every fortress course. The theme returns in New Super Mario Bros.

New Super Mario Bros. 2
A slight rearrangement of New Super Mario Bros. Wii arrangement of "BGM Tride" is used in New Super Mario Bros. 2, sounding similarly to that version of the theme with the notable inclusion of "paah" vocals in the song, replacing the strings and twirls from the original. The backing instrument is played much more harshly in comparison to the original. When Mario or Luigi are in their Raccoon/Fox forms, a woodblock beat will play in the theme, much like other courses in the game. Likewise, touching a Gold Ring will add a bell synth arpeggiator on the theme. Like the previous other themes, it is unclear who composes this arrangement; the credits do not exactly state composers.
