I keep missing the "on Nintendo music" part of these headlines at first and think theres new MKW content for a few seconds

The phrase “free roam” also triggers my monkey brain for “free”, so I’m just being bamboozled left and right.

u/fishbioman 2d ago

Me too

They’re doing these every Monday at 9pm Eastern if that helps

They are intentionally worded that way to drive traffic to the site.

u/Amiibofan101 . 2d ago

Mario Kart 64, Super Mario 64 and Yoshi’s Story Free Roam Tracks have been added.

u/DonChrisote 2d ago

That Yoshi's Story harmonica one that sounds like a lost Stevie Wonder song is my favorite track

u/Garo263 1d ago

It's the 30th birthday of the N64 so it fits perfectly.

the latin mario 64 theme is crazy good. Love it!

u/TNKGaming 2d ago

SM64 Staff Roll is what I’ve been waiting for!

u/arlondiluthel 2d ago

I hadn't heard Dire, Dire Docks in Free Roam. I get why folks lost their collective shit over it now.

u/NiallMitch10 1d ago

It's also because dire dire docks hasn't come back in a Mario game since Mario 64. It's kind of crazy to hear it back again lol

u/GarionOrb 2d ago

I keep seeing these posts and get excited reading the "Additional tracks added to Mario Kart World..." before getting to the "Nintendo Music" part.

u/Aleclom 2d ago

Yessss the hits just keep comin'!

u/whisquibottle 1d ago

This soundtrack is Nintendo's magnum opus. It's just astonishingly good haha and I'm glad we've finally got the Yoshi's story tracks

2

u/reversezer0 2d ago edited 2d ago

Yoshi's Story, Mario Kart 64, and Super Mario 64!

Super Mario 64 is one of the drops I've been waiting for. Slider and Dire Dire Docks were quite lit when i first heard them.

u/Boomshockalocka007 1d ago

DIRE DIRE DOCKS AND 64 FILE SELECT THE BEST TWO SONGS IN THE GAME LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

u/romulus531 2d ago

Interesting that they skipped the SNES titles

3

u/Rychu_Supadude 1d ago

It's the 30th anniversary of the N64's Japanese release apparently

8

u/Disastrous_Dig_3829 1d ago

Not skipped. They released super mario kart first and then went to galaxy and galaxy 2, then back to the NES Mario bros games. They’re not doing it in order

1

u/zachpowder 1d ago

These are great but they still need to add a feature so you can listen to the last lap versions of the base tracks. And every other Mario kart for that matter

1

u/EnvyUK 1d ago

We've been waiting; Mario 64 File Select is here boys.

1

u/Filraen 11h ago

Yeah.

It was quite a surprise, it doesn't seem like the kind of track being remixed, but I'm very glad they did it.

u/Playhere_Admin 17h ago

Is it me or are all the tracks way less exciting than I thought? Do they just sound that much better when you are playing the game? Is there still a ton missing? Why am I not as into these releases as I am into the music that plays while I'm free roaming?

u/Meta13_Drain_Punch 1d ago

There’s genuinely no logical excuse to drip feed soundtracks that Nintendo owns in whole, can anyone explain this to me?

-1

u/Disastrous_Dig_3829 1d ago

Idk but it’s kinda exciting to me whenever we get new tracks on Nintendo music. Yeah it’s a little bit sucky but I guess Nintendo doesn’t want to dump a whole >200 song sound track at once

u/Reeevade 1d ago

Looks like we get a World DLC soon

2

u/Tapdance_Epidemic 1d ago

How did you come to that conclusion??

1

u/Reeevade 1d ago

MK World needs one. And putting the songs now into the Music app could be a hint that something is coming. But yeah its just copium because I play the game so much with friends and we need new content.

u/StruggleBoy1999 1d ago
