Nintendo has made waves in the gaming community with its latest release: the full Kirby Air Riders soundtrack is now available for streaming through the Nintendo Music app, exclusive for Nintendo Switch Online members.
This comprehensive album marks Nintendo’s first official soundtrack launch tailored for the upcoming Switch 2 platform via its mobile music application, spotlighting the company's ongoing commitment to celebrating its iconic franchises. The Kirby Air Riders soundtrack release offers fans an expansive collection of 114 individual tracks, with a total runtime exceeding three hours.
Enthusiasts of the beloved pink puffball can now listen to memorable pieces such as “Starlit Journey,” “Floria Fields,” and dozens more.
Whether revisiting familiar melodies or discovering new arrangements, listeners can immerse themselves in the musical landscape crafted for Kirby’s high-speed racing adventure. Music aficionados will appreciate that the album was primarily composed by industry veterans Noriyuki Iwadare—renowned for his work on game series like Grandia, Lunar, and Super Smash Bros.—and Shogo Sakai, celebrated for his contributions to Mother 3 and Super Smash Bros.
The soundtrack also features creative input from Akira Miyagawa and an accomplished team of Bandai Namco musicians, bringing a variety of influences and distinctive flair to the project.
In a newly published interview concurrent with the album’s release, both Iwadare and Sakai provided detailed commentary on their approach to shaping the Kirby Air Riders soundscape, emphasizing their collaborative efforts and creative inspirations drawn from the franchise’s unique atmosphere. To access the full Kirby Air Riders album, users must have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription and the Nintendo Music app installed on a supported mobile device.
This move further enriches the value proposition of Nintendo Switch Online membership, providing more than just access to online play and retro game libraries, but also exclusive digital content for fans and collectors alike. Accompanying the soundtrack launch, Kirby Air Riders recently received a Version 1.3.1 update, adding compatibility with a new selection of amiibo figures, as well as implementing several balance adjustments and bug fixes to optimize the user experience.
This consistent post-launch support reflects Nintendo’s dedication to maintaining and enhancing the game for its player base. For Kirby fans, collectors, and Nintendo Switch owners interested in game music, this full soundtrack release is an essential addition to their digital library—and an indication of Nintendo’s ongoing investment in its eShop ecosystem and multimedia offerings.
