Nintendo Music Finally Adds Mario Kart World, Launches Browser Player

Nintendo Music has expanded its catalog with the long-awaited Mario Kart World soundtrack, adding over 4 hours of racing tunes to the streaming service. The addition arrives alongside a new web player that lets subscribers stream soundtracks directly from a browser instead of relying solely on the mobile app.

The Mario Kart World soundtrack contains 130 tracks totaling 4 hours and 13 minutes, with Nintendo promising to add more content from the game's Free Roam mode in future updates. The racer, which launched alongside the Switch 2 last year, has become a centerpiece of Nintendo's new console library. Players have been demanding the soundtrack for months, making it one of the service's most requested additions.

Nintendo Music subscribers can now access the catalog at music.nintendo.com from any device with a web browser, whether on a computer, tablet, or car infotainment system. The subscription service, included with Nintendo Switch Online membership, now covers soundtracks from more than 130 games across the Nintendo catalog. Options range from Pikmin and WarioWare to Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Galaxy.

The timing of the Mario Kart World addition comes as the gaming community waits for Nintendo to announce major content updates for the Switch 2. Since its launch last year, the game has received only minor tweaks and fixes. Nintendo has publicly positioned Mario Kart World as an evergreen title designed to drive console sales throughout the Switch 2's lifecycle, suggesting larger updates could be on the horizon.

With the gaming industry bracing for a busy stretch of announcements and rumors swirling about a potential Nintendo Direct presentation, attention is turning toward what Nintendo plans next. Fans are eager to learn whether the publisher will deliver substantial new content for Mario Kart World and other Switch 2 titles in the coming months.

Author Emily Chen: "After years of fans pleading for this soundtrack, it's fitting that Nintendo finally added it alongside a browser player that actually makes the service more useful."
