Nintendo has quietly expanded its mobile soundtrack offering by adding additional music tied to Mario Kart World, bringing themes from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 to the Nintendo Music app.
The update delivers selections that originally appear within Mario Kart World’s Free Roam mode and makes them available to subscribers on iOS and Android.
Background and context
Mario Kart World is part of Nintendo's broader Mario Kart offerings and integrates music and assets drawn from Nintendo's long-running Mario franchise.
Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 were both developed by Nintendo's internal teams for the Wii console, releasing in 2007 and 2010 respectively.
Those Galaxy-era compositions are widely regarded for their orchestral production and have been reused across several Mario spin-offs over the years.
Nintendo Music is presented as a free mobile app for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, designed to let members stream classic Nintendo soundtracks on iOS and Android devices.
Rewritten statement
In a concise restatement of the announcement: Nintendo has added additional tracks from Mario Kart World to the Nintendo Music service today.
The newly available selections include music drawn from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 that appear in Mario Kart World’s Free Roam mode.
Nintendo Music is listed as a free iOS and Android app available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, providing direct access to official Nintendo soundtrack content.
What this means for players and subscribers
For Nintendo Switch Online members, the update provides another way to engage with Nintendo's archive of game music outside the console environment.
The Nintendo Switch itself, launched in 2017, continues to serve as the primary platform for most first-party Mario Kart and Mario titles, while companion services and apps like Nintendo Music extend Nintendo's presence on mobile devices and provide additional value to subscription holders.
Fans interested in the new tracks can check the iOS App Store or Google Play Store for the Nintendo Music app and confirm access through their Nintendo Switch Online account.
