Let's identify and examine the compositional techniques used by Asuka Hayazaki, Takeshi Hama, and Mahito Yokota in the Super Mario 3D Land Main Theme to successfully enhance the gameplay and visuals! Please refer to the following gameplay video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StSxEdHfYMI#t=10s and Super Mario 3D Land Main Theme sheet music http://www.videogamepianist.com/sheetmusic/supermario3dland_maintheme.pdf.

Themes from previous Mario games are used in this theme, and the theme expresses the "cool" and lighthearted Mario character. For example, the descending arpeggio is reminiscent of the opening descending chords in the Super Mario Bros. 2 Overworld Theme. The harmonic progression of the first phrase is very similar to the harmonic progressions in the New Super Mario Bros. Overworld Theme composed by Koji Kondo. The second half of measure 9 to the first beat of measure 10 is similar to the third section of the Super Mario Bros. 1 Overworld Theme. Starting at measure 11 the descending parallel 10ths line is similar to the second half of Super Mario Bros. 3 Overworld Theme 2. Just as how the game is in 3D, there are a variety of emotions and expressions of the Mario character as a result of the combined musical ideas.

The introductory bars captures the player's attention and gives the player courage to complete the level.

These are some compositional techniques used by Asuka Hayazaki, Takeshi Hama, and Mahito Yokota in the Super Mario 3D Land Main Theme to successfully enhance the gameplay and visuals.
