Nintendo has expanded its music lineup with Captain Toad Treasure Tracker now on Nintendo Music. This release has ignited debate among fans, especially as they hoped for a different soundtrack amid celebrations of Paper Mario's 25th anniversary.
Recent reactions reveal that while the launch is exciting, some fans are less than thrilled. "Of all the Mario games that didnโt get any remixes in Mario Kart World, this was a big surprise," one commenter noted, mentioning Dr. Mario as another notable omission. Fans are particularly disappointed that music from Super Mario 3D World and Odyssey stages wasn't included.
In addition to disappointment, many voiced their enthusiasm for the new tracks. One fan proclaimed, "Yaaaay!" showing excitement for their long-wished soundtrack. Another stated their appreciation: "Thanks Nintendo! One of my most wanted soundtracks!" This highlights an overall sentiment praising the release, yet burdened by unmet expectations.
While Captain Toad brings fresh tunes, calls for more classic titles emerge repeatedly. Users pointed out the lack of music from Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario Sunshine, and other beloved franchises. As one user put it, "We donโt have any of the Mario RPGs yet!" Fans continue to express longing for content that resonates with their nostalgia.
