Super Mario Galaxy 2 Update on Nintendo Switch Adds 'Journey' Chapter and New Track to Nintendo Music

Nintendo has rolled out a new update for the Nintendo Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy 2 that adds an epilogue chapter to Rosalina’s Storybook and a matching music track on Nintendo Music.

The Switch ports of the Super Mario Galaxy titles were repackaged as Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 for Nintendo Switch; the compilation and its additional content brought renewed attention to both games and their soundtrack on Nintendo platforms.

The update introduces an epilogue chapter titled "Journey," accompanied by a new two-minute-and-fifty-four-second track also called "Journey," now available on Nintendo Music.

In clear journalistic terms: Nintendo has appended an epilogue chapter to Rosalina’s Storybook in the Switch release of Super Mario Galaxy 2 and published the chapter’s theme as a standalone track on its official music service.

Players can unlock the new chapter and its music in-game.

To access the final Storybook chapter, players must beat the first level of Mario Squared Galaxy in World S; obtaining a Power Star by clearing any level will unlock the associated content.

These in-game requirements reflect the same progression-based unlocks Nintendo has used in previous post-launch additions.

This update follows the pattern set when Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 launched on Switch, which included new Storybook chapters and additional audio content.

Nintendo has also been expanding Nintendo Music with other legacy and remixed tracks: recent additions include 26 tracks from Mario Tennis Aces, 10 tracks from Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, and 158 tracks from the original Animal Crossing game.

The Super Mario Galaxy franchise remains notable for its orchestral score and Rosalina’s Storybook content, which has been a focal point of the Switch re-releases.

The new "Journey" chapter and track are available now to Switch owners who have the updated Super Mario Galaxy 2 package and to subscribers of Nintendo Music through the service’s catalog on supported platforms.

For players following Nintendo Direct announcements and eShop updates, this release is a concise example of Nintendo continuing to support classic titles with curated post-launch content.
