Karaoke version of the Super Mario Bros. theme song to be featured on Joysound

Nintendo has revealed that the karaoke version of the original Mario Bros. theme song will be featured on Joysound, a Japanese karaoke game.  The vocals for the song were first released in 1985, after a Japanese radio station asked fans to send in lyrics to go on The Super Mario Bros Super Show intro.

Nintendo liked they lyrics so much that they officially endorsed them and recorded the song. So, whether or not you knew it, the Super Mario Bros theme song has lyrics. The lyrics are in Japanese, but you can give the song a listen below!

Here are the translated lyrics:

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

Go save Princess Peach! Go!

Today, full of energy, Mario runs

Today, full of energy, jumping!

Today, full of energy, searching for coins

Today, keep going, Mario!

Get a mushroom – it’s Super Mario!

Get a flower – it’s Fire Mario!

Goomba! Troopa! Buzzy Beetle! Beat them all!

Mario is always full of energy and strong!

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

Go and beat the Koopa tribe, go!

Today, full of energy, Mario runs

Today, full of energy, jumping!

Today, full of energy, searching for coins

Today, keep going, Mario!

Get a star – become invincible!

Quickly, go save Princess Peach!

Lakitu! Blooper! Cheep Cheep! Beat them all!

Mario is always full of energy and strong!

Today, full of energy, Mario is still running, running

He’s made it to the castle and gets fireworks!

Lightly sidestepping the Hammer Bros.

Show the last of your power, Mario!

It’s been a long journey but it’s nearly at an end

You’ve done it, you’ve done it! You’ve defeated Bowser!

Princess Peach says “Thank you”

Mario’s got a great big heart!

Mario’s adventure is over for now, but

Mario’s dream lives forever…
