Nintendo's Nintendo Music service received a major content update this week, adding the Donkey Kong Bananza Switch 2 soundtrack to the Nintendo Switch Online app.
Reported by Liam Doolan for Nintendo Life, the new collection delivers an extensive library of Donkey Kong music and joins other retro and modern soundtracks already available on the service.
The update includes 229 individual tracks with a total runtime of 8 hours and 36 minutes, making it one of the larger single releases on the Nintendo Music platform.
Nintendo has confirmed the collection covers the game's full array of transformation themes, and advises players who haven't finished the game themselves to enable the app's 'spoiler block' feature to avoid encountering story or gameplay reveals inside track titles or descriptions.
How to access the soundtrack
- The Donkey Kong Bananza soundtrack is available through the Nintendo Music section of the Nintendo Switch Online app.
- An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is required to stream the album in-app.
Other soundtracks and legacy coverage
Nintendo Music already hosts multiple Donkey Kong-era soundtracks spanning the NES and SNES eras, and the new Bananza collection complements other recent additions such as the Kirby Air Riders and Mario Kart World albums.
Those collections have been highlighted by Nintendo and featured in periodic Switch Online content drops that expand the service's music catalog.
Why this matters
For collectors and fans of Nintendo's audio archives, the addition of a near nine-hour soundtrack underlines Nintendo's ongoing effort to curate and monetize its musical library for Switch Online subscribers.
Accessing these soundtracks provides an easy way for players to revisit classic and contemporary game scores without owning multiple physical or digital game editions.
