Today’s PlayStation State of Play was devoted entirely to showcasing new footage and information for Final Fantasy XVI, giving fans a guided tour of its action, exploration, characters, and more. The presentation showed off a hefty amount of the flashy action RPG combat we recently got to sample in a recent hands-on demo.

That big honor goes to the classic Super Mario Bros. theme. Officially titled “Ground Theme,” it was composed by Nintendo’s Koji Kondo and first appeared in 1985’s Super Mario Bros in World 1-1.
