‘Donkey Kong Bananza’ soundtrack is now available to stream

A number of tracks from the brilliant Donkey Kong Bananza soundtrack are now available to stream via Nintendo Music.

The Nintendo Music app was unveiled last year for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Using the app, gamers can listen to soundtracks from a number of iconic Nintendo games, as well as curate their own playlists for offline listening and creat extended versions of their favourites.

At launch, 23 albums were available including the original Super Mario Bros., The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet and Super Mario Odyssey. Since then, one new album has been added every week with the platform now boasting more than 100 soundtracks.

Last month, the first Switch 2 score launched on Nintendo Music with a handful of tracks from the upcoming Kirby Air Riders added as a “special release”. Today (Friday September 19) a number of tracks from the Donkey Kong Bananza soundtrack were added to the streaming platform.

The Donkey Kong Bananza “special release” includes eight tracks from the early stages of the game as well as a song from the recently-released ‘Emerald Isle’ DLC. Check out the full tracklist below:

The Donkey Kong Bananza soundtrack songs available on Nintendo Music are:

‘Lagoon Layer’
‘Canyon Layer’
‘Battle Challenge’
‘2D Challenge Course 1 (DK Island Swing From DKC1)’
‘Kong Bananza’
‘Zebra Bananza’
‘Ostrich Bananza’
‘Breaking Through (Heart Of Gold)’
‘Emerald Ruse #1’

“So we’re in agreement that Zebra is the best theme right?,” one Reddit user asked, with plenty of fans excited about the release. “Why is no one giving ‘Breaking Through’ recognition!? It’s literally the best song in the game! (at least to me),” added another.

However other fans are annoyed that only nine tracks from the beloved soundtrack has been added to Nintendo Music. “Nine songs instead of just dropping the whole thing. Lame. Crazy how after almost a year of this app running there’s still barely anything on it,” said one fan. “Some random third party uploader’s playlist on YouTube has had the full collection of tracks since launch, and this official release two months later has only nine tracks. This is a big joke,” added another.

Earlier this month, Nintendo faced backlash for charging fans £16 for the Donkey Kong Bananza DLC, which features a new gamemode and one new island.

In other news, the soundtrack to Atomfall is set to get a limited edition vinyl release.  “We wanted to capture the brutal, raw energy of Atomfall’s factions, mysteries, and environments [with the soundtrack],”Rebellion’s Audio Director Graham Gatheral told NME recently. “It’s less a straight narrative and more a curated immersion in the world’s rawness and unpredictability.”
