Maridia Drifting Sand Underwater Area (マリーディア 流砂の地下水エリア)[1] is a theme in Super Metroid. It was composed by Minako Hamano.
It is heard in the upper part of Maridia with sand, Mochtroids and mechanical architecture. It is first heard when Samus takes the elevator to Maridia from Crateria, or when she reaches the "Aqueduct" in upper Maridia from the lower sections.
The theme resembles a mixture of distant horns and bells. This is likely intended to evoke the image of a coastal region, where buoys and foghorns are frequently heard, though they also give the track a deep-sea atmosphere. Parts of its composition are similar to Opening (Destroyed Science Academy Research Station).
