Just a few hours before Mario Day began, I was thrilled to discover an update on my Nintendo Music service adding more than forty tracks from the timeless classic, Super Mario Bros. 3! With a quick restart of the Nintendo Music app, I gained access to the entire soundtrack of this iconic game, including the well-known “Athletic” and “Airship” themes. It was like stepping right back into the Mushroom Kingdom, all thanks to the magic of my Nintendo Switch Online subscription!

First appearing in Japan in October 1988, the fourth installment of the popular “Super Mario” series, known as “Super Mario Bros. 3“, stands out among the best-selling games for the NES. This game introduced unique power-ups such as the Tanuki and Frog Suits, and presented the Koopalings as adversaries alongside Bowser. Innovative features in this game included auto-scrolling levels like Bowser’s airship, slopes that boosted Mario’s running speed, and a world map used for navigating between levels. Due to its significant impact on the series, “Super Mario Bros. 3” is often recognized as one of the most influential games introduced on the NES.

As a passionate gamer, I can hardly contain my excitement as we approach Mario Day celebrations in 2025! Nintendo Music, my go-to app for all things retro gaming, just added a treat for us Super Mario Bros. fans – the soundtrack from none other than Super Mario Bros. 3!

After quickly updating the app on my trusty iOS or Android device, I was able to stream this iconic soundtrack. It’s been a week since The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past joined the lineup, and now we have another classic game score added to our collection.

The Super Mario Bros. 3 soundtrack boasts an impressive 42 tracks and clocks in at over 32 minutes of pure gaming nostalgia. I can’t wait to relive those unforgettable moments as I listen to these timeless tunes!

In simple terms, many tunes from the game “Super Mario Bros. 3” can be played using Nintendo Music’s Extended Play function. This feature allows you to choose playback durations of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour. To access Nintendo Music, you need a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, as it is one of the benefits included with this service. Typically, new music from Nintendo’s collection of first-party games is added to Nintendo Music every week.

The launch of “Super Mario Bros. 3” coincided with the start of Mario Day, happening this year from now until March 15th. During this period, several Nintendo Switch games such as “Super Mario RPG” and “Super Mario Odyssey” are being offered at a $20 discount. Furthermore, the Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo can be purchased from retailers like Walmart for $99, no longer requiring a Nintendo Switch Online subscription after its recent update on February 14th.

The classic game, “Super Mario Bros. 3”, has been added to the expanding Nintendo Music app, joining other popular titles such as “Super Mario World” and “Mario Kart 8 Deluxe”. However, it’s yet to be determined which other soundtracks Nintendo might include in future updates.
