Nintendo Updates Its Music App With Another DS Soundtrack

The bestselling game of their bestselling system ever took a full year to add to this app lol. (This coming Friday is the app's first anniversary.)

@Robot99 Wow time passes so fast. I remember this like it was yesterday lol.

I remember loving this soundtrack, and its the origin of the BAH-BAH! What's not to love?
(I'm aware it's debated or actually is "pah-pah" but to that I say... Bah!(-bah!))

These sound redone; different to real hardware.

And with that, all of the NSMB game OSTs have been added to Nintendo Music.

I love the many additions from the many previous weeks; but this one hits right at home. I was waiting on this one.

@The21zonz Right? They don't sound as compressed as they did on DS.

I wonder if someone somewhere has compiled a list of all the game soundtracks that could/have yet to be added to the service.

The first New Super Mario Bros. was pretty nifty back when it was actually new and fresh.
Here are my top five.
1. Staff Credits
2. Castle Theme
3. Volcano Theme
4. World 7
5. Underwater Theme

@BigNate outside of a few themes, almost all of Wii and 2's music can be heard in NSMBU.

@N00BiSH Some of the intstruments fade out differently to real hardware too.

And why is “Boss Battle” so SLOW!?

@BigNate
I think it's a joke about those two entries using the same songs that were already in NSMB DS / used again later in NSMBU. Those albums are gonna be really disappointing once they get released lol

EDIT: Ninja'd!

@The21zonz
Oh, so I wasn't crazy about it being half speed! Probably a bad mistake on Nintendo's part somewhere.

Never really been super crazy about the NSMB games' soundtracks, but the first one is probably the best of them, is before they really hyper-fixated on certain motifs starting with Wii.

@Robot99 @N00BiSH If there's one thing I appreciate, it's a sense of humor.

... But the other two do have some decent original selects of their own, besides the usual copies and pastings / remixes. Just a matter of time.

ah, the first videogame I ever played.

I can still hear the bahs.

But seriously, where is Xenoblade?

@Dev-N

1: Staff Credits
2: World 6
3: Underwater Theme
4: Minigames: Main Menu
5: Mario VS. Luigi - Stage BGM 2

... And I love how more compressed plenty of them sound, especially the castle's Boss Battle one. Definitely sounds redone.

@BigNate
They have some unique themes? The only ones I can think of are some world map themes, and the warp cannon courses in NSMB2. You are right in that the themes themselves are definitely rearranged in a few cases at least though - NSMB2 has way more "bah"s, and NSMBW's athletic theme sounds very different from how it did originally.

@Robot99 Besides those, I mean; they indeed have done so many remixes of the same old tunes, as per usual, yet there's always the extras to enjoy. Not to mention; the minigame selection. Couldn't stop playing those minigames as a younger youngster.

Don't mind me, I'm only here for the appreciation of the Minigames, and maybe Mario Vs. Luigi - Stage 2 BGM.

Anyway, since I'm playing Itadaki Street DS, eventually I'll get to Bowser's Castle as one of the final boards, which uses a Koichi Sugiyama version of the Castle Theme of NSMB using the sound engine of the DS Dragon Quests.
Might as well get used to the song once again since I'm expecting to hear it a lot.

I mean cool. But the soundtrack was the weakest part of that otherwise fantastic game.

@Robot99 @The21zonz I'd actually guess that this is what Boss Battle originally sounded like and that they sped it up for the actual game.

O no, I can hear them... the buhs

@OrtadragoonX Much of the soundtrack isn't great but the first "bah! bah! music is iconic.

The weakest part of the game was the visuals/art direction for me. I see a lot of people now saying it looked fresh or good at the time but even when it first came out I remember thinking it looked like a Flash PC fan game and didn't have the charm of the older 2D titles. I loved the multiplayer stylus mini games though.

@N00BiSH basically yhea! I think you forgot like two! 🤣 But they include hits like:

• The same overworld themes
• The same level themes
• The same title music

And of course:
🎶bah bah🎶

Cool addition, but where's all the Xenoblade Chronicles OSTs and Fire Emblem: Three Houses?

The game is good but very forgettable and so is the soundtrack imo. People like to hate on the New series but these games are not to be treated as one monolithic entity. The console games are a lot better than the portable ones, these are the ones that feel like filler as far as I'm concerned.

The more Mario games the better, IMHO. But that "Bah-bah" sound? Really? Am I the only one who thought that was a really obnoxious, incredibly repetitive sample?
It's like if a normal jump sound went "Boing!!!" all the time. There's a reason that standard jump sounds became more of a "floooff" than a boing.

@JohnnyMind 🤞🏻.

They should add Pokemon Diamond

How long until they add Legends ZA's amazing soundtrack? 😢
