The second world theme sounds a bit like The Beatles' Penny Lane.

The Marine and Sky Pop stages in Super Mario Land used a knockoff of the original Super Mario Bros.

The overworld theme sounds a lot like 'Green Green' by The New Christy Minstrels, especially Hikaru Kataoka's cover of it.

The ending theme sounds a lot like the Tom and Jerry theme, particularly during the Enemy Roll Call.

Forest of Illusion from SMW uses a Suspiciously Similar Song to Mozart's 40th symphony.

It also sounds like a sped-up version of 'Maple Leaf Rag' by Scott Joplin (play it at 1.5x speed to hear the resemblance). The Athletic theme sounds a lot like Dave Seville's 'Witch Doctor.' 'Ooh eeh ooh ahh ahh bing bang walla walla bing bang ooh eeh ooh ahh ahh bing bang walla bing bang!' SiIvaGunner noticed.But then again, 'Bringer of War' is a pretty appropriate theme for those levels. The similarities are even more obvious in the orchestrated version from Super Mario Galaxy. The Airship music is suspiciously similar to of Mars: The Bringer Of War from Holst's 'The Planets' suite.This hook also appears as a Recurring Riff in the 'Snowman's Land' music in Super Mario 64. The second ground theme heavily resembles the The Buggles' 'Video Killed The Radio Star', especially the second half.In the Super Mario All-Stars remakes of the first game and The Lost Levels, the final Bowser battle theme is similar to the Macbeth theme from Star Fox.The underwater theme is very similar to the Waltz 5B section of Johann Strauss's 'Blue Danube', and to a lesser extent Tchaikovsky's 'Waltz of the Flowers' from The Nutcracker.The first six notes of the original theme is actually suspiciously similar to the Minsky Pickup.

The castle theme sounds like Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Flight of the Bumblebee'.
