Nintendo Music App Expands Library with Mario Kart 64 Soundtrack in Latest Update

Nintendo continues to enhance its Nintendo Music app, a free benefit for Nintendo Switch Online members, by adding new game soundtracks from its celebrated gaming catalog.

First launched in October last year, the Nintendo Music app offers fans exclusive access to music spanning decades of classic and contemporary Nintendo titles, all easily accessible on mobile devices. In its latest update, Nintendo has expanded the collection with the addition of an hour’s worth of music from Mario Kart 64, one of the company’s most iconic racing games originally released for the Nintendo 64 in 1996.

This update introduces 32 newly added tracks from Mario Kart 64, allowing longtime fans and newcomers alike to experience the nostalgia and energy of the title’s memorable music outside of the game itself. Addressing the update, Nintendo stated that for this addition, no new curated playlists have been introduced except for the Extended-Playback Collection.

This special playlist lets users enjoy seamless, looped playback of select tracks, enhancing the music-listening experience for those who enjoy extended sessions or background ambiance. The Nintendo Music app is available for both iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Since its debut, the service has received steady content updates, underscoring Nintendo’s commitment to delivering added value to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers beyond the core gaming experience.

The app’s growing library includes soundtracks from flagship Nintendo franchises, supporting a wide range of fan preferences and serving as a convenient, mobile-friendly archive for the company’s renowned music. By making these musical collections easily accessible, Nintendo leverages the power of nostalgia while supporting its current hardware ecosystem.

The continued rollout of classic and fan-favorite soundtracks like Mario Kart 64 is part of Nintendo’s broader strategy to keep players engaged with its ecosystem through enriched digital experiences tied to Nintendo Switch Online benefits. As the Nintendo Music app continues to expand, fans can look forward to more updates featuring beloved games and curated listening options.

For now, Mario Kart 64’s energetic tracks are available for on-the-go listening, further cementing the Nintendo Music app as a must-have for video game music enthusiasts.
