As the soundtrack has been composed by Yoko Shimomura, later known for composing the soundtrack for the Kingdom Hearts series, prepare for plenty of bangers when it comes to this game.
- All
of the battle themes. Including "Battling Culex", a.k.a. the boss theme from Final Fantasy IV in all its glory. You cannot go wrong with any of these music tracks, they are all epic and awesome that appropriately tells what kind of enemy you're fighting. The remake includes a Superboss fight against the 3D versions of Culex, and it uses one of the finest orchestrations of the FFIV boss theme to date. - "Battling Bowser" really sets the tone of the game. It helps that it's a remix of his theme back in Super Mario Bros. 3 and if this were any other Mario game, it would be serving as the final boss theme.
- The music of Mario's Pad, "Super Mario House", is a jolly tune to help kickstart your adventure, combining both the Super Mario Bros. ground theme and the Grass Land theme from Super Mario Bros. 3.
- "Danger Abounds on the Journey" is a pleasant, laid-back theme that sounds more akin to a casual stroll through a beautiful landscape as opposed to a monster-infested land.
- "Danger Aplenty on the Journey" isn't played nearly as often as "Danger Abounds on the Journey", but it more than makes up for it by delivering a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping tune to warn you of even stronger monsters that inhabit the land.
- "Hello, Happy Kingdom", the theme of the Mushroom Kingdom, just sounds like it belongs in the presence of someone of royalty. The song is well-known by fans, and even sported a few official remixes, such as the majestic World-e Castle theme from Super Mario Advance 4, and the fantastic remastered version from Fortune Street.
- "The Weapons Show Up", the theme of the Smithy Gang that shares the same Leitmotif with "Battling a Weapon Boss". It's an intimidating piece that just screams three words: "Something isn't right."
- "Let's Take the Midas River" is filled with high energy as you fall down a waterfall and roll down the titular river while catching coins along the way. It's so good that the characters even dance to it before fighting Exor!
- Four words: "Beware of Forest Mushrooms". One of the most memorable and beloved forest tunes of all time. It's a catchy, whimsical tune that captures the feeling of exploring a deep, beautiful forest very well, and also distracts you from the fact you're traveling through a literal The Lost Woods level. The song is so memorable, the music from the Forest Maze was rumored to be remixed in Super Smash Bros. Brawl during development.
- "And That Makes Me Booster!" single-handedly took Booster, a downright silly character, and turned him into a badass. You'll likely finding yourself jamming to this jazzy song while climbing his tower.
- "The Bell Rings Out at Marrymore" is a beautiful, unforgettable tune which sets the mood for a wedding and/or a chapel very well with its ringing bells. It's especially fun to listen to while you're rescuing Princess Toadstool from Booster, working as a bellhop to pay off your debt, or ruining Chef Torte's cake, all at the Marrymore.
- "Where Flowers Bloom under Starlight" is a calming, beautiful piece that meshes well with staring into a beautiful night sky and making a wish...or reminds you about Star Hill.
- "The Factory" is a daunting theme fitting for the final dungeon in the game, managing to make the sounds of a blacksmith (Smithy in this case) hard at work hitting metal with his hammer on an anvil part of the music itself!
- "Valen-Valentina", a very Baroque-style theme consisting of a harpsichord accompanied by Valentina's Noblewoman's Laugh in the background, proves to be a good fit for a high-class setting, as well as being a perfect Leitmotif for Valentina as she is in control of Nimbus Castle while it plays.
- One of the last songs, "Farewell, Geno... / The Wishes from the Stars" is one of the best in the game, perhaps any game.
