Just a couple of days ago we were treated to a free download of 'Jump Up, Super Star!', the crazily addictive song that has been accompanying Super Mario Odyssey since its reveal at E3 this year. Now, in addition to this and the wonderful live-action music video that was released for it earlier this week, the song has also made its way to the 3DS as part of a downloadable theme based on the game - in Japan at least.
The theme also features a gorgeous collection of artwork from the game adorning both screens and has a super-snazzy folder design too! You can see it action below.
Japanese players can grab the theme right now for an introductory offer of 100 yen - this is set to rise to the standard theme price of 200 yen on November 9th. There is no news just yet of a release for the theme in other regions but we'd hope to see it arrive shortly.
This news leaves us wanting themes on Switch even more too - imagine this blasting through your TV speakers every day. "Odyssey, yes see!"

But I want this for my Switch
No, my heart can't take all the hype. In 14 days, we'll finally be playing another true 3D Mario!
Buy switch games and switch eshop games to collect my Nintendo coins to spend on Wii u and 3ds goodies
I'll take Switch themes instead.....any day Nintendo....
I WANT IT !!
So dope
Love it.
Flaunt the game in the faces of 3DS owners. Show them the light. It's time to upgrade peeps 😃 That's what Nintendo is essentially saying with this theme.
@JaxonH
Haha, that's right, make people pay 100 yen for a Switch ad on their 3DS. Not much other companies that can do that. And that's actually a compliment
Give me this RIGHT THIS SECOND!! Lol love it
Here's a idea Nintendo....
HOW ABOUT PUTTING THEMES ON THE SWITCH?!
it's not like it's a new thing to you guys.
besides after actual game comes out on the Switch who's going to be wanting a 3DS?
Let me join the choir and say:
Where are the darn Switch themes ?
Im pretty sure they are cooking up something. The MyNintendo Rewards section for Switch articles has been idling on "Soon" for quite some time now, the eShop is getting cramped, plenty of folks have more Switch software than the home menu can display...
There needs to be a UI overhaul soon.
Folders, themes, apps (unlock the browser already...) etc.
Hopefully, something will happen once the payed service starts and they flesh out the OS a little more.
Exactly what @Einherjar said.
@ClassSonicSatAm I will be wanting my 3DS still. Can’t afford a Switch right now and prefer gaming on my 3DS anyways
This is great, but It’s really weird having themes for a different system on your 3DS. I got the Splatoon one to use up some points that were expiring.
Where's the Nights of Azure 2 theme?
Nice. I will add it to my Theme Collection on my 3DS. I need some different themes that aren't Zelda.
I'm sure we'll get Switch themes soon or later. I'd love to get some as well as new icons. It's great Splat2 added few more. Hopefully FE Warriors and SMO can add more?... I'd be down for a Marth icon.
Looks cool, but I'm still not spending my cash on a theme that I feel should be free as a marketing tool. Others have called me out on this stating that I don't know the work that goes into programming the themes. You're right, I don't; but it doesn't matter. They have no problem spending money on a tour that only visits a small group of cities. They have no problem spending for a "music video" complete with choreography. Themes should be free!
This seems....sorta cruel actually. "See this theme for this FANTASTIC game? Yeah you can't play it on here....but isn't the theme pretty? Buy a switch."
@GoldenGamer88 Not for me 😔 I have to wait until Christmas - 73 days to go!
If the trailer, though a very nice trailer, couldn't persuade me to upgrade to a Switch, then I don't think this theme will either. Nice try though, Nintendo.
I want this for both my 3DS and my future Switch!
Edge have released the first review and it’s a 10/10 game. With Switch, Nintendo have totally nailed it!
Of course the theme goes to 3DS and not the Switch. >_>
@Pokefanmum82 Nothing wrong having your 3DS still (heck I was using mine yesterday since it has tons of VC on it. ) but it also has way too many themes now and not one for the Switch, getting tired of dull white or black OS and no music.
It's nearly Xmas and the Switch's biggest game are coming out.
Looks cool.
Yes I agree Nintendo should get their crap together and add themes to the Switch (among other things) but it's nice to see them still adding themes to the 3DS still. We don't get them often anymore. Seriously, it seems like everywhere you go on NL, someone is complaining about why this and that isn't on Switch ie. USUM. I want themes and games on the Switch like you guys but I appreciate Nintendo still supporting their older hardware
@ZeldaToThePast It's rather confusing. The "themes" tab has been there for what now, six months? How long does it take to upload some pngs of Mario and charging two bucks for them?
@Pichuka97 True. There are so many comments encouraging Nintendo to abandon 3DS owners. Not very considerate.
Can't wait to get this 3ds theme!!
@ClassSonicSatAm Me. At this point the Switch did convince me of being worth it, something I couldn't say a couple months ago. However, in my country the dollar is really expensive and the Switch isn't $299 like in the US (here it costs about $400-$500) so there's a really big difference between the price of the 3DS and the Switch.
Besides, I'm in love with my New 3DS and unlike many from what I see, I normally keep returning to my previous consoles, specially when they have such a great library that, while the Switch is having a great one too for the little time it has been out, still doesn't compare to the one of the 3DS in my opinion.
Oh, and I'm not a Mario fan (runs while everyone throws a combination of poop, rotten tomatoes and turtle shells).
I only recently splurged and bought a new 3ds (the small one) and I love it. the wooden mario face plates i added to the white console and it's pretty beautiful. i still think the ice blue ds lite is the prettiest handheld ever though.
@roy130390 I not saying it's not worth having a 3DS, (I brought one during it's first week of launch was still at school then... since I upgrade to a XL then a NEW 3DS which is my main) there are tons of great games for it BUT...I'm annoyed Nintendo aren't pushing Switch even further with themes, VC, I know it was the same during the first year of the 3DS.. the second Mario 3D land and Sonic came out it was golden (Generations 3DS was alright...)
All I'm basically saying is...WE SHOULD HAVE THEMES ON THE SWITCH NOW! not take about a year or two... or how the Wii U lacked it altogether during it's lifespan.
