* Some of the map themes also deserve a mention, such as [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8lTfF9HFCU World 3]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JYKRJlVWSo World S]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKt0DkKZGY4 World 1]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQNLYrbadDg Flip-Swap Galaxy.]] A simple, tension-filled remix of the ''SMB'' Underground Theme that knows its place as background music and lets you focus on the action.
** On the other hand, there's the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuhNqHCS7v8 Beat Block Galaxy]] theme. While it's also a remix of the Underground theme, rather than staying in the background to let you focus on the action, this tune ''is'' the action: it appears in levels that change (such as gravity changing) according to the beat of the music. This has the effect of making the tune a massive EarWorm.

* The theme to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWKLF50_rcc Haunty Halls/Boo Moon Galaxies]] takes the Haunted House Theme from Super Mario World and makes it even scarier and more awesome at the same time.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABZInebUwn4 Starshine Beach Galaxy]], a tropical EarWorm along the lines of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2GHF8icAXI The final boss theme.]] This is honestly one of the most incredible songs ever composed in a Mario game, screw it, in a Nintendo game, period.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Gzb0xLVhkg Even the regular Bowser theme is spectacular,]] and like in the first game, it [[VariableMix adds in a chorus when Bowser is vulnerable]].
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSLKan4NUgE Gobblegut]] battle theme is epic and tense, perfect for a fight with a giant space dragon.

** And then there's the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AsU-T-Pv40 Squizzard]] battle theme, which is a tense desert-themed tune, but what's really notable is that it has a unique mix of the Fire Flower theme!

* Digga Leg. Period.
* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YaQKma_aE4 The Baby Luma and the Hat]]", a truly beautiful remix of Rosalina's theme from the first game.
* The final star, referred to as The Perfect Run, might be insanely difficult, but getting to hear Gusty Garden Galaxy, Good Egg Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Reactor, and the observatory music from the first game once more makes it much more bearable!
