Nintendo has added the original Paper Mario soundtrack to Nintendo Music, bringing the complete Nintendo 64 score to the company’s new streaming platform.
Developed by Intelligent Systems and released for the Nintendo 64 in 2000, Paper Mario helped define the franchise’s trademark paper aesthetic and mix of RPG and platforming elements.
According to the release, the collection comprises 148 tracks with a total runtime of four hours and 29 minutes.
Standout pieces from the lineup include the Main Title, Toad Town Theme, Battle Fanfare, Tubba Blubba’s Castle, Twink’s Theme, Bowser’s Rage and Victory Parade — a cross-section that covers overworld themes, character motifs and major boss encounters.
Rewritten statement: Nintendo has added the full original Paper Mario soundtrack to Nintendo Music this week; the album spans 148 tracks and runs approximately four hours and 29 minutes, making the Nintendo 64 score available to stream in full.
Paper Mario originally shipped on the Nintendo 64 in 2000 and was developed by Intelligent Systems in collaboration with Nintendo.
Early development reportedly explored connections to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars before the project evolved into a distinct "paper"-styled title.
The game later spawned multiple sequels across Nintendo platforms, with Super Paper Mario, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (GameCube), and most recently Paper Mario: The Origami King for Nintendo Switch.
For Nintendo Switch owners, the original Paper Mario is also available through Nintendo’s legacy game offerings: the Nintendo 64 library on Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack (often described as the Nintendo 64 Classics service).
That availability complements streaming access through Nintendo Music for fans who want to listen to the soundtrack without launching the game.
The addition of Paper Mario’s original score to Nintendo Music follows Nintendo’s recent efforts to centralize classic game audio and curated collections from major franchises.
Fans seeking the full track list or wanting to stream the album should check the Nintendo Music app or the service’s listing in the Nintendo eShop on supported devices.
This soundtrack release gives longtime fans and new listeners alike a convenient way to revisit one of the Nintendo 64’s most memorable RPG scores, presented in its original arrangements.
