Nintendo has quietly expanded where fans can stream classic Mario scores: the soundtracks for Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are now available on Spotify.
The two games, originally released for the Wii in 2007 and 2010 respectively, are among Nintendo’s most acclaimed platformers and their orchestral scores are celebrated by fans and critics alike.
The move is notable because Nintendo has increasingly used its own music distribution—via a dedicated Nintendo Music app—to distribute officially licensed tracks.
Despite that platform, Nintendo and Spotify have partnered to mark recent Mario-related milestones with new playlists.
Spotify stated that the companies are welcoming fans to the Super Mario Bros. 40th anniversary and the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie by offering new playlists and a special in-app experience.
As part of the feature, a small Luma icon appears on the playback bar while tracks from the Galaxy playlists play.
The two new Spotify playlists combine music from the original Super Mario Galaxy games with selections tied to the film release.
That makes the orchestral arrangements and iconic themes more accessible to listeners who use mainstream streaming platforms.
On Spotify these tracks are available through the service’s standard streaming interface and are subject to the platform’s terms (including any subscription-required features).
Super Mario Galaxy was developed by Nintendo’s internal teams for the Wii and released in 2007, while Super Mario Galaxy 2 followed in 2010.
Both titles are frequently cited for their score and use of orchestral music—elements that have helped sustain interest in soundtrack releases years after the games’ original launches.
Nintendo’s broader approach to music distribution has included official releases through first-party channels, and this Spotify upload represents one of the clearer examples of Nintendo placing classic game music on a major third-party streaming platform.
For listeners, the availability of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Spotify provides a straightforward way to stream these celebrated scores alongside other Mario music offerings.
The playlists and in-app experience are already live on Spotify, giving fans an alternative to Nintendo’s own music distribution while keeping the original game compositions in official circulation.
