Nintendo has expanded the soundtrack offerings on its Nintendo Music service, adding new remixes from across the Mario franchise to the Mario Kart World rotation.
The latest update introduces four tracks from Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube, 2002) and ten tracks from Super Mario Odyssey (Nintendo Switch, 2017), bringing the collection closer to completion for subscribers.
In journalistic terms: Nintendo is steadily rolling out additional Mario Kart World tracks on the Nintendo Music service, with this week's drop including four Super Mario Sunshine tracks and ten Super Mario Odyssey tracks.
The release came a little earlier than usual to account for Japan's Mountain Day holiday on August 11, which typically coincides with the weekly update schedule.
With these additions in place, the remaining entries needed to complete the broader Mario soundtrack rollout are the Free Foam tracks drawn from Super Mario 3D Land (3DS, 2011), Super Mario 3D World (Wii U, 2013), Bowser’s Fury (Nintendo Switch, 2021), and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Wii U original 2014, Switch Deluxe edition 2017).
Nintendo Music is available as a free download for Nintendo Switch Online members on iOS and Android mobile devices, and subscribers can also access the service through a web browser.
For Switch owners, Nintendo Music complements existing digital services available through the Nintendo eShop and ties into members' Switch Online benefits.
The service represents Nintendo's continued effort to leverage its music catalog tied to major franchises like Mario and Mario Kart for its subscription audience.
The titles referenced in this update have clear platform histories: Super Mario Sunshine debuted on Nintendo GameCube in 2002, Super Mario Odyssey released for Nintendo Switch in October 2017, Super Mario 3D Land arrived on Nintendo 3DS in 2011, Super Mario 3D World launched on Wii U in 2013 (with a Switch rerelease including Bowser’s Fury in 2021), and Mario Kart 8 originally released on Wii U in 2014 before the Deluxe edition launched on Nintendo Switch in 2017.
These franchise milestones make the Nintendo Music additions notable for fans of both Mario platformers and the Mario Kart series.
