Super Mario Kart SNES Soundtrack Launches on Nintendo Switch Online Music App

Nintendo has expanded its Switch Online service by announcing the release of the complete Super Mario Kart SNES soundtrack, now available exclusively via the Nintendo Switch Online music app.

This significant addition brings a nostalgic selection of 37 tracks from the iconic 1992 Super Nintendo title, giving longtime fans and new players an opportunity to experience the roots of the Mario Kart series through its memorable music.

Super Mario Kart, developed and published by Nintendo, is lauded as one of the most influential racing games in video game history.

As the first entry in the Mario Kart franchise, it laid the foundation for future titles, combining fast-paced racing with inventive track design and catchy compositions.

The soundtrack, originally composed by Soyo Oka, continues to be celebrated for its energetic melodies and distinctive retro sound.

Now, Switch Online members can revisit these tracks directly through the official music app, further enriching Nintendo's growing library of classic game music resources. The newly released album features a runtime of 33 minutes and includes fan-favorite tracks such as "Mario Circuit," "Donut Plains," "Rainbow Road," and "Battle Mode." It also provides music for selection screens, final lap variations, and race results unique to different characters, adding up to a comprehensive representation of the game's original sound design.

The availability of Super Mario Kart’s soundtrack follows closely after last week's launch of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker’s soundtrack, demonstrating Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to celebrating its musical heritage.

It also marks the second Mario Kart soundtrack to arrive on the service, with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already included in the digital music library. In a recent announcement, Nintendo confirmed that the Switch Online music app continues to expand its offerings exclusively for Switch Online subscribers.

Members not only gain access to nostalgic soundtracks but can also play classic titles such as Super Mario Kart through the Switch Online retro library.

This dual approach reinforces the value of Nintendo Switch Online as a hub for both gaming and music content, appealing to fans’ sense of nostalgia while offering contemporary convenience. To enjoy the newly added Super Mario Kart SNES soundtrack, users must have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.

The album is accessible directly through the Nintendo music app on the Switch platform and is designed to be both easily navigable and faithful to the original compositions.

As Nintendo further broadens its content selection, the addition of legendary titles like Super Mario Kart ensures that the Switch Online service remains a must-have for fans of classic Nintendo entertainment.
