Super Mario All-Stars is clearly the best version of the theme. The subsequent ones may be more bombastic with their orchestral arrangements, but they trade in that ominous quality for something that sounds more bright and adventurous.

SMB3 NES will always be the best one. Something about the NES soundchip that gives it a hard dark and suspenseful atmosphere rather than a loud orchestrated holly wood film. Mario 3 was a dark game with a surreal feeling surrounding it, not a loud silly CG film. The NES all the way forever.

They all technically sound the same instrument-wise. You got the aggressive bass drums and the brass for the melody. Well except new super mario Bros Wii which uses organs for the main melody.

I know it's not a super mario game, but the airship theme for super smash bros is the absolute best in my opinion

[@BirbBoiYT]

I decided to rank the 9 themes: 9: New Super Mario Bros. Wii/U Airship Boss (Bowser Jr.) Does this really count as an Airship theme? This seems more like a Boss theme. 8: Super Mario Advance 4: SMB3 I understand that it is on the GBA, but the sounds is just a bit too compressed. 7: New Super MarioBros. Wii/U Airship theme Despite sounding pretty good and being nostalgic for me, it doesn't have the same ominous feeling of the Airships' grand presence. 6: Super Mario All Stars: SMB3 Airship theme. I'm not sure what to say about this one, I just don't like it as much as the following ones. 5: Super Mario 3D Land The same as above. 4: Super Mario Maker (2): SMW Airship theme. One of the more unique ones, this theme sounds much more depressing and grim than the others (which are a bit more suspenseful), as if the Kingdom (or in this case, Dinosaur Island) is doomed from Bowser's army 3: Super Mario Bros. 3 Airship theme. The original Airship theme. The limited soundfont of the NES helps make this theme sound even better! 2: Super Mario Galaxy "Attack of the Airships" Mario Galaxy's beautifully orchestrated piece somehow mixes the adventurous theme of the New Super Mario Bros. Series with the suspenseful, scary vibes of the older pieces perfectly! 1: Super Mario Maker (2): Super Mario Bros. Airship theme. Easily the most unique theme here. It sounds to intense and suspenseful, it seems like the final level. You finally find the place where the one who has been causing all the trouble resides. You enter and fight their final defenses. And then, you stand in front of the throne room's door. The music goes silent... This is one of my favorite pieces in one of my favorite games from my favorite video game series. I also absolutely love this remix of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKjSk6qIpbCIp7s
