Thanks to Super Mario Odyssey's wonderful original soundtrack, and the possibly even more wonderful 'Jump Up, Super Star!', it can be pretty difficult to stop yourself from humming along to the game as you play. With the help of these two official soundtrack options, however, you'll soon be able to blast your favourite Mario tunes at all times.
Tomorrow will see the release of the 'Super Mario Odyssey Sound Selection' - a collection of 12 songs that will be available to download from the iTunes store.
If the 12 song collection isn't enough for you, though, you may want to hold off until early next year. An official Super Mario Odyssey soundtrack will be released in Japan on 28th February 2018 containing a whopping 136 tracks spread over four discs. You'll also get a couple of stickers thrown in for good measure, as well as a booklet featuring comments from the game's developers and Aimi Mukohara who voiced Pauline in the game.
With no news of a western release for this CD collection you may well need to import it from Japan when it arrives - it is planned to cost 4,600 yen (equating to a rather hefty £30 / $40). Do you plan on grabbing one of these soundtracks and driving everyone in your house mad by playing it on repeat for several months? Let us know in the comments.

You know a songs good when it takes up a third of the sound selection CD. Jump Up Super Star has got to be one of the best video game songs ever.
Itunes !
This Soundtrack on vinyl would be awesome!
And as usual no Google play music release. Gotta love how lazy and pathetic Nintendo can be when it comes to releasing stuff like this.
Crossing fingers for the full XC2's soundtrack.
Such a bummer that it's such a tiny selection. One of my favorite tracks (Lost Kingdom) is nowhere to be seen.
And I mean, Jump Up is awesome, but did we really need it to take four slots? Having more variety would be a much better choice here.
@ricklongo That download selection is essentially just a taster. The CD will have 136 songs on it! It's very likely your favourites will be there
No Google Play or Spotify??? That sucks!!!
Hard to spend $40 on something like that myself but cool. Also, do we need 3 Japanese versions of the song?
@fox_mattcloud gasp! now you'll have to click buy on iTunes, then drag and drop the file into Google Play to add and listen to it there! Seconds will be wasted!
No vinyl announced ?
Nintendo, stop sucking Apple's seeds and bring this to a service I can actually purchase from using my Android phone, like Amazon Music or Google Play!
@russellohh I didnt actually know i could do that to be honest. Cheers for that!
Need the cd 100%
Hmmm. The jump from 8 different songs to 130 is vast. Kinda would’ve liked a third intermediate option, maybe a single CD with 30 tracks, like with the 2 versions of the Galaxy Sound Selection
That's great 'n' all but this kind of thing should also be available via club nintendo. We used to get a brilliant selection of ost cd's that just weren't available to us in the UK and I get that they don't do physical rewards now but surely that could be replaced with a download code for gold or plat points.
@Timsworld just rip the files off YouTube
WAITS FOR SPOTIFY RELEASE
Nintendo is finally getting it. Too bad my interest in this game dropped like a rock...
I did buy the Jump Up Super Star single though, I mean I had to!
#3 was an unexpected favorite, being a groovy tune that doesn't seem to fit the Mario universe, but I liked it.
How this didnot win best music in game of the year is beyond me. That went to player unknown and although i have never heard the music in that a lot of people where shouting fix when mario didnot win.
Finally... Nintendo music on iTunes!
@Timsworld Oh no I found Android Trash. How can you have such good taste in video games but such poor taste in phones?
As much as I'd like to pretend Nintendo is only releasing to iTunes as a statement that they don't support Google Play or Android, they probably are just being lazy. Does the Apple Music app on Android let you buy stuff from the iTunes store?
Nope. It doesn't, does it?
rip
@LUIGITORNADO That's what I do most of the time, but the audio files just aren't the same. Converters always screw over the quality.
@ricklongo Lost Kingdom drives me nuts because one of the notes is played out of tune (It's flat).
I like the song, but I just can't stand that n o t e.
You can unlock 82 tracks in-game. Where is the rest of those tracks on this on this album? Pretty bad deal if you ask me. You're better off just downloading the ripped audio.
