Nintendo Music App Expands with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Soundtracks on Switch

Nintendo has continued to enrich the digital experience for its fans with the Nintendo Music app, first introduced in October 2023.

Available at no extra cost to Nintendo Switch Online members, Nintendo Music serves as a hub for classic and contemporary game soundtracks, steadily growing its catalog from Nintendo’s renowned portfolio.

The service is accessible on both iOS and Android, underscoring Nintendo’s evolving commitment to broader digital accessibility beyond dedicated hardware like the Nintendo Switch. In its latest update, Nintendo has significantly expanded the app’s offering by adding soundtracks from both the Switch remake and the original GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

This update marks a meaningful milestone for fans and collectors alike, as it encompasses a total of 386 tracks—amassing over 18 hours of music between the two versions.

Notably, this is one of the most extensive additions to the Nintendo Music library to date and highlights the enduring popularity of the Paper Mario series since the title's original release in 2004. The new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door music collection arrives with several specially curated playlists designed to capture the game’s unique atmosphere and character-driven storytelling.

Playlists such as Paper World, Papery Peers, and Battles offer thematic listening experiences, while the Extended-Playback Collection introduces users to select tracks in seamless, looped arrangements, ideal for uninterrupted enjoyment.

Furthering the appeal, Nintendo has created character-specific playlists featuring favorites like Ms.

Mowz, Vivian, Goombella, and Bobbery, giving fans tailored opportunities to revisit the game’s memorable moments through its diverse musical themes. A spokesperson for Nintendo explained that the curation and expansion of soundtracks demonstrate the company’s ongoing commitment to preserving its musical heritage for both new and longtime fans.

By offering the Nintendo Music app through app stores on iOS and Android devices, Nintendo ensures that fans can access these soundtracks regardless of their preferred mobile platform.

This approach reflects the critical role that music has played across generations of Nintendo hardware, from the GameCube era to today’s Nintendo Switch ecosystem. The Nintendo Music app has quickly become a must-have for Switch Online subscribers, especially those seeking to revisit or discover iconic game scores outside of the games themselves.

With regular updates and a rapidly expanding library, Nintendo continues to celebrate its history while enhancing the value and appeal of its online services.

To access the new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door soundtracks and curated playlists, users can download or update the Nintendo Music app via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store today.
