The main motif played on a piano

The "Underwater Theme" is a recurring musical theme composed by Koji Kondo, first heard in World 2-2 of Super Mario Bros. It was originally set in the key of C major, with the time signature of 3/4 that is mostly associated with waltz, playing at a tempo of 226 beats per minute. As it was "easy to imagine what it should be like," it was the first composition Kondo finished for the game.[1] The theme plays in every level and section set underwater in Super Mario Bros., with following rearrangements largely featuring as title screen music.
