What? The cloud tile re-use is from the first game, and no part of any Mario game plays back the melody backwards to generate the victory music. The victory music is a distinct musical track.
Just ask for a citation or state a correction. No need to be rude.

That's correct, it's used in earlier games, it's not from SMB 3. The point about Nintendo doing hacks for efficiency purposes still stands.

I've seen a video somewhere recently that showed how sound affects were re-used - some of the re-use went unnoticed for over 20 years. Trying to find it now.
