"Ending" in Super Mario Bros.

"Ending"[1] (also sometimes titled "Ending BGM"[2][3]) is a musical theme composed for the ending of Super Mario Bros. by Koji Kondo. It is also often used as an ending theme in later Super Mario media, predominantly after Mario rescues Peach.

Original

The theme originally debuted in Super Mario Bros., and plays at the game's ending once the player completes World 8-4. It is titled 「エンディングBGM」 (Endingu BGM, "Ending BGM") in official soundtracks featuring the song released in Japan.[3][2]

Reuses

The following list does not include ports and remakes of Super Mario Bros.

Game Description
Super Mario Bros. Special Plays at the end of World 8-4
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS "Ending" plays after completing a 10-Mario Challenge, as well as at the end of a 100-Mario Challenge if the final level is in the Super Mario Bros. style.

Arrangements

Super Mario series

VS. Super Mario Bros.

"Ending" returns in VS. Super Mario Bros., the arcade version of Super Mario Bros., this time slightly slower and with an extended melody. This extended melody was composed for the original game, but was removed due to storage limitations of NES cartridges.[4]

Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and its Japan-only Game Boy Advance remake, an arrangement of "Ending" titled 「エンディング」 (Endingu, "Ending")[5] plays once the player completes World 8-4 or World D-4. This arrangement is very similar to the version heard in VS. Super Mario Bros., but it features slightly different instrumentation and includes a second verse in the key of F major.

This version is also used in All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros. after completing World 8-4 or World D-4.

Super Mario Bros. 3

An arrangement of "Ending" plays at the beginning of Super Mario Bros. 3's ending theme, titled 「エンディング」 (Endingu, "Ending").[6] This theme plays when the player completes World 8-Bowser's Castle, the final level of the game. The arrangement of "Ending" plays at a slightly slower tempo than its previous iterations and adds a subtle echo effect, while also including the extended melody from VS. Super Mario Bros.

This arrangement is reused in Super Mario Maker at the end of a 100-Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher if the final level is in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style.

Super Mario All-Stars

Super Mario All-Stars and its Wii port Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition feature two arrangements of "Ending". The first is an arrangement of the version heard in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels with both the extended melody and the key change. This version plays after beating Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.

The second is an arrangement of the iteration heard in Super Mario Bros. 3, which plays after beating the same game in Super Mario All-Stars. This arrangement only includes the extended melody from VS. Super Mario Bros. and then transitions to the rest of the ending theme from Super Mario Bros. 3.

In Super Mario 64, as well as in its Nintendo DS remake Super Mario 64 DS and its Nintendo Switch port in Super Mario 3D All-Stars, an arrangement of "Ending" is included in the theme "Ending Demo", which plays at the end of the game when Peach is freed and thanks Mario for restoring the power of the Power Stars to the castle.

Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine and its Nintendo Switch port in Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a brief arrangement of "Ending" plays during the epilogue movie when the group of Toads present the newly restored F.L.U.D.D. to Mario and Peach. The theme that plays during this movie is titled "Epilogue (Movie)" in the game's original soundtrack.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

An arrangement of "Ending" similar to the Super Mario Bros. 3 version heard in Super Mario All-Stars can be heard in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. This version is much more compressed than the Super Mario All-Stars version and uses different, lower-quality synthetic instruments.

New Super Mario Bros.

A glockenspiel arrangement of "Ending" plays in New Super Mario Bros. after the player rescues Peach in World 8-Bowser's Castle, the final level of the game.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Two harp arrangements of "Ending" appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii in the final main level of the game, World 8-Bowser's Castle. The first arrangement plays after Bowser is defeated the first time, and includes a tune-out after "Peach" is revealed to be Kamek in disguise.

The second arrangement is much more faithful to the original and plays after the player rescues the real Peach. This arrangement includes the extended melody from VS. Super Mario Bros.

The "fakeout" arrangement is reused in Super Mario Maker after completing a 100-Mario Challenge on Easy difficulty or a 10-Mario Challenge if the final level is in the New Super Mario Bros. U style in either case.

New Super Mario Bros. 2

Two arrangements of "Ending" appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2 and play in the final main level of the game, World 6-Bowser Castle. The arrangements are based on the two arrangements from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The "fakeout" variation is mostly faithful to the Wii version, except that the theme ends on a descending C diminished triad instead. The "real" arrangement that plays after Peach is rescued adds a vibraphone and glockenspiel to the instrumentation.

The "true" variation of the theme is reused in Super Mario Run, where it plays after the player completes the final main level of the game, Bowser's Bob-ombing Run. This version does not include the VS. Super Mario Bros. extended melody.

New Super Mario Bros. U

In New Super Mario Bros. U and its Nintendo Switch port New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, a brief orchestral arrangement of "Ending" plays after beating Bowser and Bowser Jr. in The Final Battle, the final main level of the game. This arrangement is played on a harp as the lead instrument and with viola accompaniment. Notably, the second-to-last note is omitted in order to allow the remaining last three notes to coincide with the cinematic of Peach kissing the player, followed by them doing a victory pose.

This arrangement returns in New Super Luigi U, where it also plays after completing The Final Battle.

This arrangement is reused in Super Mario Maker at the end of a 100-Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty or higher if the final level is in the New Super Mario Bros. U style.

This arrangement vaguely resembles the New Super Mario Bros. Wii variation of the theme.
