Mario Tennis Aces soundtrack arrives on Nintendo Music — full track list and Switch context

Nintendo Music has added the Mario Tennis Aces soundtrack, bringing the full in-game score from the 2018 Nintendo Switch title into the app.

Mario Tennis Aces launched on June 22, 2018 for Nintendo Switch and marked a significant return to single-player narrative content for the series.

The soundtrack addition gives Switch owners and music fans a way to stream the game's music outside of matches.

Background and context

Mario Tennis Aces was the first mainline Mario Tennis title on Nintendo Switch and reintroduced a story mode to the series since Mario Tennis: Power Tour on Game Boy Advance.

The game is best known for combining competitive tennis with distinct mechanics such as Zone Shots and Special Shots, which added tactical depth to online and local play.

Rewritten notable statements

The Nintendo Music update highlights that Mario Tennis Aces returned narrative-driven single-player content to the franchise, the first such effort since the Power Tour entry on Game Boy Advance.

It also notes that Aces introduced new mechanics — Zone Shots and Special Shots — that can damage or break a player's racket; if a player loses all rackets, they forfeit the match.

Soundtrack details

According to the Nintendo Music listing, Mario Tennis Aces' soundtrack comprises 26 tracks with a total runtime of approximately one hour and 24 minutes.

The posted track roster includes themes and stage music such as Title Screen, Marina Stadium, World Map, Bask Ruins, Temple of Bask, Aster's Theme, Piranha Plant Forest, Game Point, Boss Battles, Inferno Island, Final Battle and Staff Credits, among others.

Series note

The update also references a more recent Mario Tennis entry called Fever, noting features like Fever Rackets and Fever Shots and a crossover of design elements inspired by Super Mario Bros.

Why it matters

Making the Mario Tennis Aces soundtrack available through Nintendo Music extends the game's reach to fans of game audio and collectors who follow Nintendo's catalog updates.

For players on Nintendo Switch and followers of the Mario Tennis series, the addition provides an easy way to revisit Aces' distinctive score outside of gameplay.
