Athletic Theme (PAL Version) - Super Mario World

"Athletic Theme (PAL Version) - Super Mario World" is a high quality rip of the PAL version of "Athletic Theme" from Super Mario World.

Jokes
At 0:13, the melody changes to that of the Cartoons cover of "Witch Doctor" by David Seville; from 0:25 to 0:37, the saxophone melody from "Witch Doctor" is played by the lead instrument from the advertised track. At 0:48, when the rip is about to loop, it suddenly becomes a mashup with the aforementioned cover of "Witch Doctor" (still retaining the melody change).

The original "Athletic Theme" from Super Mario World already bore a more than passing resemblance to "Witch Doctor", and comparisons had been drawn between the two long before this rip was made. For example, the offkey mashup "Witch doctor steals from Super Mario World" was uploaded to YouTube in October 2010, and the mashup "Witch Yo'ster" was uploaded to YouTube in February 2012.

History
This rip was originally uploaded to GiIvaSunner on March 24, 2016, as "Athletic (Beta Mix) - Super Mario World". Following the GiIvaSunner Termination, it would be reuploaded to SiIvaGunner on April 22, 2016, as "Athletic (PAL Version) - Super Mario World". Around the start of September 2017, it was renamed again to match GilvaSunner's metadata. The thumbnail was also changed.

On July 30, 2017, this rip became the 4th rip on the SiIvaGunner channel to reach 1 million views. For a long time, it was the channel's 4th most watched video, until it surpassed "Nintendo GameCube Startup - Console BIOS/Startup Fanfare" on August 25, 2017, and became the 3rd. In January 2018, it surpassed "Title Theme & Ending - 7 GRAND DAD", becoming the 2nd most viewed video. By January 2018, it became the channel trailer for new visitors.

During the SiIvaGunner Termination, the rip was reuploaded to SiIvaGunner2 as part of a mass reuploading of classic rip to celebrate SiIvaGunner's 3rd anniversary. As with the other reuploads, it was unlisted when the main channel came back.

By May 31, 2019, it had become the most viewed rip on the SiIvaGunner channel.

On April 1, 2021, as part of April Fools' Day 2021, the rip was made private along with the vast majority of Mario rips. The rip "Opening Cutscene - Hotel", which was the first rip uploaded after this rip was made private, replaced it as the channel trailer for new visitors. On April 5, 2021, it was returned to its position as the channel trailer following the end of the event.
