Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Soundtrack Now Available on Nintendo Music App

Nintendo has delighted fans by adding the full Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door soundtrack to the Nintendo Music app, delivering a treasure trove of RPG classics to both new and returning players.

This update arrives just months after the celebrated RPG made its comeback on the Nintendo Switch in May, reviving interest in what is widely regarded as one of the best entries in Mario’s role-playing game legacy. The latest update to the Nintendo Music app—available to subscribers worldwide—includes not only the freshly orchestrated music from the recent Switch remake, but also the beloved original soundtrack from the GameCube release.

The Switch version’s soundtrack contains an impressive 275 tracks, providing a comprehensive listening experience that covers every corner of Mario’s whimsical adventure in Rogueport and beyond.

For those feeling nostalgic, the collection also features 111 classic songs drawn directly from the 2004 GameCube edition. This dual-album release allows fans to appreciate the evolution of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door’s musical landscape, from the classic chiptune inspirations to the more modern arrangements on the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo has continued to honor the legacy of its iconic franchises by offering access to high-quality soundtracks, reinforcing the publisher’s commitment to preserving its rich gaming history for new generations. In a statement accompanying the app update, Nintendo clarified that there will not be a weekly music release next week via the Nintendo Music app.

While no specific reason was cited, the company noted the pause aligns with an upcoming national holiday in Japan—a pattern seen in previous years where update schedules have coincided with public holidays. For those who have yet to experience Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door—whether on the original GameCube hardware or the updated Nintendo Switch remake—the soundtrack’s arrival provides another gateway to the game’s enduring charm.

Critically acclaimed for its clever writing, engaging turn-based combat, and vibrant world-building, the title continues to set the standard for Mario RPGs.

As noted by industry reviews, the Switch version refines the original formula, offering the definitive way to delve into Thousand-Year Door’s unforgettable quest. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Music app’s latest update underscore Nintendo’s ongoing dedication to delivering content that both celebrates its classic catalog and enhances the modern gaming experience.

Fans can stream the soundtracks now via the app, with regular updates expected to resume after the observance of Japan’s national holiday.
