Nintendo is switching up its release schedule on the Nintendo Music app once again, dropping the full soundtrack for *Super Mario Sunshine*—the iconic (yet divisive) GameCube 3D platformer—this Thursday. [Listen to it now on Nintendo Music](https://music.nintendo.com/shared/en-US/FR/officialPlaylists/ebe74b3d-9763-4271-88ad-c0dc078e92f0/) (Nintendo Switch Online membership required).

Released in 2002, *Super Mario Sunshine* immediately brings back fond memories for me. Perhaps less for its pure gameplay mechanics than for being the first *Mario* game I ever truly played (I was nine years old). In this inverse *Splatoon* (think about it: your goal is literally cleaning up the mess on Isle Delfino!), players explore a colorful, sun-drenched, yet refreshing world accompanied by gentle melodies crafted—as you've probably guessed—by master composer Koji Kondo.

As usual for Nintendo Music, you can choose between a curated "best-of" selection featuring 30 tracks from *Super Mario Sunshine* or dive straight into the full 58-track release, clocking in at around an hour and a half.

Last week, Nintendo offered subscribers a sneak peek at [the promising soundtrack for *Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave*](https://nowplaying.cool/nintendo-music-just-dropped-10-tracks-from-the-upcoming-fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-ost/). As a reminder, the official soundtracks for *Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2* remain [available to stream on Spotify](https://nowplaying.cool/super-mario-galaxy-1-2-official-soundtracks-are-now-streaming-exclusively-on-spotify/).
