Ukulele Super Mario Brothers Main Theme

Inspired by the James Hill recording from his CD Playing It Like It Isn't...

My Arrangement for uke tuned G C E A (low G). James plays in in the key C but in D tuning. To play this with a standard g C E A tuning don't play string 4 when the melody is on string 2 or 3.

Ukulele WidipediA

Koji Kondo wrote the musical score for Super Mario Bros.[19] There are four main themes used in the original game:

  • Overworld - The famous main theme; a Latin jazz score that matches the bright, cheery and fast-paced nature of the majority of the game's levels.
  • Underworld - A simple, minimalist jazz theme used in the underground levels. The Underworld theme has been used, in one form or another, in almost every Mario platformer.
  • Underwater - A slower, waltz theme used in the underwater levels. The same melody has been reused in the title screen of Super Mario Bros. 2, as well as the title screen of most Mario remakes.
  • Fortress - A fast-paced theme used in the castle levels.
