Nintendo Music's 2025 'Year In Review' Is Now Available, See Your Most-Played Songs

As someone who just dumps everything he cares about onto his favorites playlist and then shuffles that endlessly, most of these stats are too limited to be interesting - my "favorite songs" are just whatever lengthy songs have been on my playlist the longest. (e.g. Castle Bowser Battle, Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit, BotW Hyrule Castle, etc.)

The main stat of note is my 818 hours of listening. I don't have a problem, you have a problem 🤣

I think the app is broken. My top 3 “favourite songs” are ones I only listened to once or twice. Weird…

Ever since it was updated to allow it or at least make it easier, I've always gone to bed with Nintendo Music playing for half an hour. As a result, my favorite tracks according to this are my favorite bedtime tracks, like Aquatic Ambiance from DKC1, Forecast: Nighttime from Wii Channels, Forest Interlude from DKC2, Crystal Chasm from DKC3, and Space Junk Road from Mario Galaxy.

I highly recommend listening to Forecast: Nighttime in general, actually. It's a truly pleasant tune.

I tried to get mine and it said "b*tch you need to listen more so we can tell you."

My top song is Toad Harbor, a personal favorite before they added TotK.

My top Character Playlist is Yunobo which isn’t surprising at all lol.

Mine was quite inaccurate.

"52 minutes of listening."

Try 52 hours at the very least

19hr 33mins of listening this year. Honestly more than I thought.

Top 5 Tracks:

1. Breaking Through (Heart of Gold) - Donkey Kong Bananza

2. Floria Fields - Kirby Air Riders

3. Skyah (Short Ver.) - Kirby Air Riders

4. Clickbait (Splash Sessions Demo) / C-Side - Splatoon 3

5. Emerald Rush #1 - Donkey Kong Bananza

Most Listened-To Game:

1. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

2. Pokémon Sword/Shield

3. Mario Kart 7

4. Splatoon 3

5. Luigi’s Mansion

Nuts and Bolts from DKC3 boys!

I mostly listen to my Favorites and personal playlists more than anything. It’s why it thinks that my top playlists are the Special Releases for Kirby Air Riders or Super Mario Party Jamboree. I guess only official playlists count.

My top games being Donkey Kong Country 3, Wii Channels, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario Galaxy sounds about right. Even Aquatic Ambiance for 582 minutes.

I’d listen to Splatoon 3 much more… if they can just add the rest of the soundtrack!

I can always listen to any Nintendo games music from YouTube.
I don't even need Nintendo Music App as I listen to different variety of musics, not just limited by video games music.

Mine reminded me that data collection is turned off, which is always a good thing.

My Spotify age was 68...

I got a lot of tracks from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. I really do enjoy the music in these games.

@shonenjump86, I swear that game has some of the best music, if not the best music, in any Pokémon game. Those songs would probably be higher on my list if I didn't have them downloaded on my phone already before the app was even released 🤣.

I haven't used it enough to have the minimal amount of usage required, which I guess goes to show you how quickly I forget it's even a thing when not looking at articles about it.

Though really I'm usually just not a listening to music person anyway. I doubt I've listened to a single song on Spotify this year.

NSMBU soundtrack......wouldn't have expected that sat on anybody's list

Only like 9 hours of use for me. I do love the app tho. Got sucked into the autumn playlist and the wet floor stuff from splatoon

37 hours, 4 minutes.

1) N64 Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)
2) The Great Sea (Wind Waker)
3) Rosalina in the Observatory 3 (Super Mario Galaxy)
4) Athletic BGM (Super Mario World)
5) Badge Challenge (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)
6) Aquatic Ambiance (Donkey Kong Country)
7) Dire, Dire Docks (Super Mario 64)
8) Kass's Theme (Breath of the Wild)
9) A-Type (Tetris GB)
10) Please Select Player (Super Mario Bros. 2)

one of the most disappointing years in recent memory Nintendo finally puts out a brand new console which hardware wise is SOOO much better than Switch 1 no debate the Switch 2 console is better than Switch 1 but the releases this year have been terrible and what little has been announced for next year is even worse

I use this app almost every day, but I also love Nintendo's music a lot and listen to it on the commute to work. Every now and then I'll play some music on a 15 minute extended time while I'm going to sleep.

I absolutely love it!

13 minutes! 😄 Yeah, that seems right.

@rvcolem1 Mine was 72! I'm "only" 46 😂

I got a car this year that's capable of streaming music from my phone, so I've been listening to a lot of Nintendo Music while I commute. (87 hours worth!) Lots of Mario Odyssey and Fire Emblem songs. They go real well with a long drive.

I haven't used this app. Its too incomplete. Not even Xenoblade!

I think Nintendo Music is one of the best things Nintendo has done in the past few years. Would love to see it integrated onto Switch 2, especially on the Quick Menu so you can layer it over games, Home menu, and eShop! Also waiting for more Switch 2 games to be added like Legends ZA, Mario Kart World, etc.
