"Jump Up, Super Star!" is a jazz-orientated song originating from Super Mario Odyssey, which served as its main theme. This song is reused in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, ripped from the original game, which played during the New Donk City festival. The festival rendition of the song is an alternative track played on all Mario and Smash Bros.-related stages. The vocals are performed by Kate Higgins (in character as Pauline).
Playing this song on New Donk City Hall will play a simplified version without vocals and a portion of the instruments. Throughout the stage, the Super Mario Players, the band that plays the song, will appear on floating platforms, as well as Pauline. Touching each band member allows them to play their respective instruments, completing the instrumental part of the song. Touching Pauline allows her to sing the vocals of the song. There is also a version of the song that doesn't require gathering the Super Mario Players together exclusive to the New Donk City Hall stage, simply known as "Jump Up, Super Star! (Full Band Performance)".
Interestingly, it seems that only the festival version of the song appears in Ultimate despite the full version being used in Mario's demo video.
Lyrics[]
Here we go, off the rails
Don't you know it's time to raise our sails?
It's freedom like you never knew
Don't need bags, or a pass,
Say the word, I'll be there in a flash
You could say my hat is off to you
Oh, we can zoom all the way to the moon,
From this great wide wacky world,
Jump with me, grab coins with me, oh yeah!
It's time to jump up in the air, (Jump up in the air),
Jump up, don't be scared, (Jump up, don't be scared),
Jump up and your cares will soar away, (oohoohooh),
And if the dark clouds start to swirl, (Dark clouds start to swirl),
Don't fear, don't shed a tear, 'cause
I'll be your 1-Up Girl
So let's all jump up super high, (Jump up super high),
High up in the sky, (High up in the sky),
There's no power-up like dancing,
You know that you're my Super Star, (You're my Super Star)
No one else can take me this far
I'm flipping the switch,
Get ready for this, oh
Let's do the Odyssey!
Odyssey, ya see (x7),
Odyssey, Odyssey!
Spin the wheel, take a chance
Every journey starts a new romance
A new world's calling out to you
Take a turn, off the path
Find a new addition to the cast,
You know that any captain needs a crew
Take it in stride as you move, side to side,
They're just different points of view
Jump with me, grab coins with me, Oh yeah!
Come on and jump up in the air, (Jump up in the air),
Jump without a care, (Jump without a care),
Jump up 'cause you know that I'll be there
And if you find you're short on joy, (Find you're short on joy),
Don't fret, just don't forget that
You're still our 1-Up Boy
So go on, straighten up your cap, (Straighten up your cap),
Let your toes begin to tap, (Toes begin to tap),
This rhythm is a power 'shroom (oohoohooh)
Don't forget you're the Super Star (You're the Super Star)
No one else can make it this far
Put a comb through that stache,
Now you've got panache, oh
Let's do the Odyssey!
It's time to jump up in the air, (Jump up in the air),
Jump up, don't be scared, (Jump up don't be scared),
Just jump up and your cares will soar away, (oohoohooh),
And if the dark clouds start to swirl, (Dark clouds start to swirl),
Don't fear, don't shed a tear, 'cause
I'll be your 1-Up Girl
Now listen all you boys and girls, (All you boys and girls),
All around the world, (All around the world),
Don't be afraid to get up and move
You know that we're all Super Stars, (We're all Super Stars)
We're the ones who've made it this far
Put a smile on that face,
There's no time to waste, oh
Let's do the Odyssey!

Trivia[]
- Although "Jump Up, Super Star!" has a full Japanese version, the English version is instead used in all regions. This remains consistent with the international versions of Super Mario Odyssey, which uses the English version in-game, while the Japanese version was released as a promotional single in Japan.
- This is also true for "Break Free (Lead the Way)", another vocal track from Odyssey
