Unused Super Mario Bros. NES Theme found in WarioWare, Inc. - Mega Microgame$!.gba!

WarioWare, Inc. - Mega Microgame$! GBA Menu Music Modifier Unused Microgame Music 2 0104 Super Mario Bros Theme.

We're on a roll with Super Mario Bros related content, so today is a step in the same direction. I'm sure many people have spent countless hours city surfing through Wario Ware Inc on their often eye-straining Game Boy Advance screens back when people no longer thought break dancing was cool.

One of the lesser-known interesting things is Wario Ware Inc actually has some music that was never used in-game and the best example of this is a rendition of the Super Mario Bros theme done in the theme of a microgame.

I located the internal song ID, known as a music modifier, where the main menu selects to play it's music using a debugger and it took some effort but it wasn't too difficult for my level of skill to figure out. To play this song, open up a hex editor of choice (mine is hex workshop) and go to the following address and change it to (in this case, 0104)

This is a weird one. A version of the Super Mario Bros. Theme with whispering, a baby crying and weight lifting samples! :S
