Super Mario Galaxy Soundtracks Land on Spotify

Nintendo has begun streaming the Super Mario Galaxy soundtracks on Spotify, making music from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 available to listeners for a limited time. The company said the release is part of celebrations for Mario’s 40th anniversary; between the two albums, Spotify now hosts roughly 130 tracks that total about five hours of music. Both Super Mario Galaxy (originally released for Wii in 2007) and Super Mario Galaxy 2 (originally released for Wii in 2010) were developed by Nintendo’s Entertainment Analysis & Development (EAD) team, with Yoshiaki Koizumi in a directorial role and Shigeru Miyamoto producing. The soundtracks feature compositions and arrangements by Mahito Yokota alongside contributions from veteran composer Koji Kondo, and the orchestral scope of the music has long been cited as a selling point for the titles. In a statement distributed with the Spotify release, Nintendo explained that the albums are being offered “in celebration” of Mario’s milestone. Rewriting that communication for clarity: Nintendo confirmed that both Super Mario Galaxy soundtracks are now available on Spotify and noted the collection is intended as a celebratory, time-limited offer, though no specific removal date has been provided. The move follows ongoing fan requests for broader availability of Nintendo music. Nintendo has historically been selective about placing full game soundtracks on major streaming services, and while the company released a Nintendo Music app in 2024 to expand access to its catalog, many game soundtracks remained absent from mainstream platforms until recent additions like these Galaxy albums. Nintendo has not published an announced end date for the Spotify availability. Fans and music listeners should consider downloading or saving playlists while the albums remain accessible. Separately, the Super Mario Galaxy games continue to be prominent entries in Nintendo’s 3D Mario lineage; their original Wii releases are widely credited with advancing platform design and orchestral scoring in games. For Nintendo followers and industry observers, the Spotify release is a reminder that publishers increasingly leverage streaming partners to celebrate IP milestones. For fans of the Galaxy scores, the new Spotify presence delivers a convenient way to experience Mahito Yokota and Koji Kondo’s work outside of game sessions and the Nintendo Music app.
