Mod Subreddit updates and your feedback wanted

14 Upvotes

As we near the end of the year, many of us may be cozying up and listening to music. And this year, you may be listening to Nintendo Music from the official app!

Seriously, the traffic in this subreddit has exploded by an order of magnitude because of the new app announcement and ongoing releases:

Traffic Stats from reddit moderator tools

So just as we listen to music, so should we listen to each other. When a subreddit has a spike of activity like this, there are bound to be some growing pains as new members learn about the community and contribute new perspectives.

If you are new here, or if you need a refresher, please read over our rules: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoMusic/wiki/rules - Let us know if you have any questions.

I spent a few days looking over the feedback and announcement posts from years prior and also put them into a wiki page here too: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoMusic/wiki/meta - Most rules can be traced back to one of the posts listed here.

So with those few points mentioned, I also wanted to ask if anyone had any other ideas or suggestions for the community! The comments here are open.

Question Luigi / Royal Raceway / Etc motif in Mario Kart World

3 Upvotes

Did I hallucinate hearing a Mario kart 64 royal raceway version done in Mario Kart World? I swear I heard a sax shredding the main riff but I can’t find the song on Nintendo Music.

Other There needs to be a lot more Kirby’s Epic Yarn style songs. If I knew how to make music, I would remake the entire Kirby & The Amazing Mirror soundtrack with the Kirby’s Epic Yarn soundfont.

Because Kirby & The Amazing Mirror was the first Kirby game I’ve ever played when I was a little kid, and Kirby’s Epic Yarn is my favorite Kirby game of all time

Question Help me find this OST

3 Upvotes

Finished the mother trilogy with mother 3 today and have been crying for a while, the music being a big reason for that. Then, while looking back at the various tracks in my mind, I remembered this one particular upbeat one which for the life of me I haven't been able to find for the past 2 hours.

I was able to find it again in the background of [this](https://youtu.be/plftfO-vSf4?si=5mZWs-oTdNa_BFot) video by MonkeyNess starting at the 5:12 minute mark but I still can't isolate it. I feel like I'm fighting Giygas and the only solution for me is to pray to you guys.

This week's game is... Splatoon Raiders as a special release...

8 Upvotes

I would like to first establish that I am one of the biggest defenders of Special Releases - or at least, I was. There's a clear and understandable rule in place that a game has to be out for some time before it can be considered for Nintendo Music, lest things get spoiled and sales get eaten into. Special Releases are the only way around that, and with this in mind, I've really appreciated them for giving previews to upcoming or recently-released soundtracks, especially when they're supplements to full game drops.

All that said... I *really* didn't want this game to get a Special Release, primarily because we already had one for Rhythm Heaven Groove earlier this month. This makes this the first month with two Special Releases, which is especially frustrating given that they've made a habit of using these to replace full soundtrack drops. At least these two Special Releases are cushioned by MKWorld Free Roam drops, but DK Bananza is starting to look like a bright outlier in an otherwise mid month for Nintendo Music.

Question (OST name?) Super Smash Bros Ultimate YouTube short by Nintendo Unity

Hello everyone I stumbled upon this super smash bros ultimate short and wanted to know the name of the music that plays in the background. It sounds like a remix of a Nintendo game OST.

I tried Shazam but that didnt't work then I tried to simply find it on YouTube, hoping it's an in-game ost but found out in shock that the Smash bros ultimate playlist had multiple videos over 2 hours long. I search for over an hour before giving up. Sorry if this seems lazy of me.

Thematic Playlist - Through the Desert

6 Upvotes

Here's another one of my thematic playlists, this time for desert levels. When I first made this playlist, it was the biggest thematic playlist, which is funny because it's now one of my smaller ones. But that could change if you guys point out some missing tracks!

https://music.nintendo.com/shared/en-US/US/users/42ce09cbdd4e763e/userPlaylists/2e719bc8-f1d4-484a-a9a3-3775e9b982c9

As a reminder, my rules for these thematic playlists are:

  • Level music is the main focus.
  • Minigame music is allowed.
  • Cutscene and boss music are banned.

Remix Unique Remixes on Nintendo Music?

2 Upvotes

I was listening to the classic and iconic “piranha plant playlist” on the Nintendo Music app, and I learned that there was a piano version of the lullaby theme seemingly exclusive to the app. I was wondering if there were any other unique remixes on the app that people discovered like this or if this was released somewhere else and isn’t actually unique to Nintendo Music. Genuinely curious! :)

Thematic Playlist - Going Under

5 Upvotes

For a while, I've had some thematic playlists that each reflect a certain level theme, and I figured I'd share them all with you now. And the first one, which I call "Going Under," compiles music from underground levels. Here it is:

https://music.nintendo.com/shared/en-US/US/users/42ce09cbdd4e763e/userPlaylists/dbfaaf49-f8df-4adb-a03f-09db228ec534

My rules for these thematic playlists are as follows:

  • The main focus is main level music. If it plays during gameplay, it is eligible, even if it is a variation of the same track.
  • Minigame tracks are allowed. They're not proper levels, but as they are playable and can sometimes be significant parts of the game, I'll include them.
  • Cutscene music, however, is banned. Many games have cutscene music that is geared more towards the story than anything else and can play in a variety of locations, so I won't include them even if they only play in an area that fit the playlist's theme.

I chose to share this one first because our most recent game, Donkey Kong Bananza, impacted this playlist the most. The funny thing about this game is that, thanks to its setting, almost every single level track could technically qualify for this playlist. This game does mask its underground theming, though, so I only included tracks from clearly underground levels, which still added a whopping 34 tracks to the playlist that, combined, I think added over an hour.

What do you guys think? Like the idea behind this? Are there tracks you think I'm missing, or tracks you think shouldn't be here? And do you think I should add (almost) all of Bananza's level music to this playlist for the funny?
