Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was released for the Super Nintendo in 1995, with music composed by Koji Kondo. Its Athletic theme reworks the game's main melodies into a much faster ragtime arrangement for stages set high in the sky. The track became a favourite among speedrunners, remixers and video editors because the melody stays recognisable even when cut to a few seconds. Online, short loops of it now signal hectic platforming, childhood Nintendo memories and any situation that suddenly turns into a cheerful race against the clock.
