Para, that makes literally no sense. If he intended to base the soundtrack off of a single theme, then OF COURSE that theme will be prevalent throughout it all. By using a familiar theme but disguising it, you acquire a subconscious interest from the listener because it's familiar, but it not being flat-out obvious makes the music still fresh.

The problem is you're not looking at this from a composer's point of view.

It's as easy as saying "Okay, I need to write music for a game. They asked to make it sound new while still Mario. So let me grab a simple motif... ALL the way from the beginning of Mario's history, and just use that as the base for the soundtrack for this game."

Just consider it a Theme and Variations.
