As we near the end of the year, many of us may be cozying up and listening to music. And this year, you may be listening to Nintendo Music from the official app!
Seriously, the traffic in this subreddit has exploded by an order of magnitude because of the new app announcement and ongoing releases:

So just as we listen to music, so should we listen to each other. When a subreddit has a spike of activity like this, there are bound to be some growing pains as new members learn about the community and contribute new perspectives.
I spent a few days looking over the feedback and announcement posts from years prior and also put them into a wiki page here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoMusic/wiki/meta - Most rules can be traced back to one of the posts listed here.
So with those few points mentioned, I also wanted to ask if anyone had any other ideas or suggestions for the community! The comments here are open.
Am I the only one who's relieved about that? This also means the OoT Special Release will likely be the last one of the year, unless they do a second one when the game actually comes out.
I was listening to this recording, and it sounds so familiar to me. I can sortof recognize bits of dire dire docks melody, but the instrumentation and quality feel so familiar, like a gamecube game or something. Do you recognize the sample too?
i was watching this nuzlocke video and a song came on in the background and it was all i could focus on till it was done pLEASE HELP ME FIND IT
song plays at abt 49:00
I have been working on a playlist which helps me focus and improves my mood. Just wanted to share since it helps me and might help others too, who knows :D
The playlist is currently very Toad and Nintendo 64 focused but with an open mind towards the whole Nintendo catalogue.
Prior to 1/27/2026, the only the only features our favorite doppelgänger had on the app were Mario Kart tracks and Mario Party Jamboree.
Just under 9 months later, and Wario now has 4 games, more repped on the app than series like
Mario Party,
Star Fox,
Animal Crossing,
Pikmin
as many as
Pokémon
Metroid (not counting Special Release),
and only 1 fewer game than
Fire Emblem (not counting Special Release) and
Mario Kart.
And that's not counting Mario Land 2. Full games list here:
WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$! (GBA) - 1/27/2026
Virtual Boy Wario Land (VB) - 7/31/2026
WarioWare: Move It! (SW) - 9/17/2026
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (GB) - 10/16/2026
Honorable Mention:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins(GB)- 2/23/2026
Not the character/series I would have expected to get a lot of representation so fast, but I suppose since there's fewer mainline Mario games to add the app's team is starting to fill out other major character playlists. Anyone got guesses for which characters/franchises might see a surge of game representation next year? Or will Wario countinue to grow?
After Majora's Mask last week, I felt like we were gonna get something out of left field, and this is left field enough for me. Though it being an 8-bit soundtrack may disappoint some people.
EDIT: This is actually our largest 8-bit soundtrack to date, and the first one to be over an hour long!
So I have a bunch of playlists themed around a level type, and tried adding Wario Land 1 tracks to them. However, because I'm not familiar with this game, there's a high chance that I missed tracks that fit a Playlist or added tracks to a playlist that don't belong there. Can you help me sort these Wario Land tracks out?
These are my thematic playlists. Keep in mind that they are strictly based on theme, not vibe:
Also, I included Wario Land 1's Hurry Up! variants on these playlists since they change pitch and tempo. Should I do the same for Mario games with Hurry Up! variants?
I am looking for a way to access MIDI extractions, MP3s, or transcriptions of the tracks playable in *Jam with the Band* (Nintendo DS). There are 50 full songs in this game but I can't find any on YouTube or KHInsider.
I am particularly interested in the tracks that feature classical music pieces arranged in pop or jazz styles.
Please let me know if this isn't the right place to ask about this!
