Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga launched in 2003 for the Game Boy Advance as the first entry in the Mario and Luigi RPG series, developed by AlphaDream with music composed by Yoko Shimomura. Its regular battle theme accompanied most standard encounters in the Beanbean Kingdom and became closely tied to the game's humorous tone. The track later returned through the 2017 3DS remake and countless fan uploads, keeping it familiar to Nintendo fans who use short clips of it to signal a playful fight.
