Super Mario Bros.: Mario Syndrome is a novelty maxi-single by Bonus21, a group consisting of Takaki Funabashi, Hiroki Harada, Shunji Inoue, Yoshichika Kuriyama, Hiroyuki Tanaka, and Chikako Watabe. Released through King Records on May 21, 1986, the single is the band's only release.

Super Mario Bros.: Mario Syndrome features three tracks based on songs from Super Mario Bros.: "Mario Syndrome," a dance remix of the Ground Theme that interpolates "Super Star" during the chorus; "Mario Syndrome Re-Mix," a remixed version of the previous song; and "Princess Peach," a vocal rendition of "Ending." The pseudonymous Super Bubble Club is credited with producing the single and writing lyrics for all three songs.

Trivia[edit]

  • The arrangement of the Ground Theme heard on "Mario Syndrome" is similar to "Super Mario 2007," the arrangement used for Toy Time Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy and Supermassive Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
  • Although the sprite of Mario depicted on the front cover is similar to Super Mario, it actually recreates a transitional sprite seen for a single frame when Small Mario picks up a Super Mushroom or when powering down to Small Mario.[1]
  • While track one and two's Japanese titles are katakana renderings of their English titles, track three is slightly more liberal. The Japanese title for track three translates to "I Am Princess Peach", while the English name listed on the packaging is simply "Princess Peach".
