I have always wanted to see Amphibia represented as a video game. When we got together with the Multiplatform Content team at Disney Television Animation to talk about what a Theme Song Takeover could look like for the show, we all agreed this kind of thing could be awesome. It's fun too because it really switches up what a Theme Song Takeover can be.

The "8-bit Theme Song Takeover" is an alternative version of the Amphibia opening theme, which was released on August 16, 2020. The video game portion of the short was animated and produced by pixel animator Paul Robertson.[1]
The theme shows Anne and Sprig playing a new video game on Anne's phone, where they will recreate the main theme of the series in an 8-bit version, with Sprig having multiple accidents.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the other Theme Song Takeovers based on Amphibia, this theme is non-canon for the series.
- Despite being released during Season 2 (specifically between "Swamp and Sensibility"/"Wax Museum" and "Marcy at the Gates"), this theme song is based off of that of Season 1.
- When Matt Braly got a chance to re-envision the series' main theme, he immediately wanted to reimagine it as a video game.[1]
Allusions[]
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - Sprig dying over and over again is a reference to the two-player mode.[1]
- The idea came from Gino Guzzardo, executive director, Multiplatform Content, Disney Television Animation.
