An instrumental version is used as the credits theme. The lyrics and melody of the theme song were written by Mark Mothersbaugh. This is the opening theme to the animated series. The Korean dub, while still leaving the songs in English (except for the second part of Rah-Rah, which uses the instrumental), has Korean subtitles on-screen.

The Italian dub uses instrumentals of all of the songs except Kootie Pie Rap and Cheatsy's Life, which are translated the Brazilian dub translates all songs with the exception of the intro theme, Tail of the Dinosaur and Looking for You the Hungarian dub uses the instrumental versions for Motor City, At the Circus Tonight, Do or Die, and Time to Get Wild and the Latin American Spanish and Romanian dubs translate Kootie Pie Rap, while all others dubs leave the songs in English. All songs were composed by Michael Tavera and Monroe Michaels.

Unlike the predecessors, which featured covers of licensed music, no songs on the Super Mario World cartoon were changed or removed due to copyright restrictions, since they were all written (and some parodied) exclusively for the show.

For example, in 'The Yoshi Shuffle', the theme for the episode is football, so the song that corresponds to that episode is about fighting to the finish.

Each song corresponds to the theme of the episode. In all, there are fourteen songs, one for each episode plus the theme song. The following is a list of the various songs featured in the Super Mario World animated series.
