Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Music catalog with more tracks from the legendary Super Mario World game. Over the years, the famous game studio has built one of the most recognizable and celebrated gaming and music libraries in the industry, with both its games and soundtracks permeating deep into pop culture. This is especially true for the Mario franchise, including Super Mario World, which stands out as some of the most iconic in Nintendo’s storied lineup.
Nintendo launched its music streaming app in the latter half of last year, exclusively for Switch Online members, with 23 soundtracks ready for use at the time of its release. Available on iOS and Android, the app offers a range of unique features, including themed playlists, like Powering Up for workouts, and a spoiler setting to prevent fans from hearing tracks from unfinished games. For the company’s collection of catchy tunes, it also allows users to loop songs or extend tracks for up to 60 minutes.

Super Mario World OST Added to Nintendo Music App
Super Mario World OST joins a growing collection of tracks on the Nintendo Music app, which already features classics like Zelda, Donkey Kong Country 2, and Kirby’s Dream Land. By launching its own app, Nintendo has chosen a different approach than other game companies that release their music on existing streaming platforms. This decision is likely driven by the richness of Nintendo’s IP, which offers a vast catalog of unique, nostalgia-filled music that continues to resonate with many fans.
While Nintendo has a storied past, the company remains focused on the future, with the highly anticipated Switch 2 set for release in 2025. The console is expected to launch ahead of the predicted release dates for other gaming giants, PlayStation and Xbox. The latest iteration of the Xbox is rumored to launch in 2026, with the PlayStation 6 expected to follow in 2027.
Super Mario World, the fourth installment in the legendary series and a direct sequel to the hit game, Super Mario Bros. 3, was well received upon its release and, like many Nintendo titles, features a memorable soundtrack. Its addition to the Nintendo Music app will let fans listen to the game’s catchy melodies on their phones anytime, anywhere.
