Tower Records Japan has revealed that it will produce and sell a vinyl soundtrack primarily based on Nintendo’s SNES game Super Mario World. The album will be available at ¥11,550 (~$74.30) on April 30, 2025. Pre-orders for the vinyl soundtrack are immediately available on the Japanese Tower Records Online Shop.
The soundtrack will consist of three discs with content available on both sides. It will boast a large number of tracks at 179, but take note that Tower Records conflated the music tracks with sound effects to reach that number. The third disc’s second side in particular has a whopping 107 sound effects that will play after the Super Mario World ending theme as its 11th track.
Super Mario World, which is also known in Japan with the additional subtitle Super Mario Bros. 4, will not be the only game to have its tracks featured in this vinyl soundtrack. Tower Records and Nintendo will also add tracks from the first three mainline Super Mario Bros. entries until Super Mario Bros. 3 to the second disc.
The Super Mario World vinyl soundtrack will be available on April 30, 2025. It will contain tracks from the Super Famicom / SNES game that appeared first in Japan in November 1990, as well as the first three Super Mario Bros. games that Nintendo released for the Famicom / NES in the late 1980s in Japan.
