The new Super Mario Bros. Movie has been a box office smash, pulling in record sales for an animated film. If you’ve seen it or are simply a huge Mario fan, the soundtrack will be arriving later this year. Exclusive to iam8bit, The Super Mario Bros Movie soundtrack will be available on vinyl, CD and even cassette.
You can already get the digital version through Back Lot Music but the physical versions won’t start shipping until Q3 2023. Pre-orders are open now, with the complete movie soundtrack on two CDs in a premium four-panel package for $19.99 USD. Or for a real retro vibe, why not pick up the cassette version for $19.99? It’ll come in randomly distributed red or green colourways.
Super Mario Bros. Movie Vinyl
The true connoisseurs will likely want the vinyle options, of which there are three. A special 7″ single featuring Bowser’s piano ballad Peaches (A side), and Mario Brothers Rap (exclusive B-boy side) will be available for $12.99.
Finally, you have The Super Mario Bros soundtrack on 2xLP. Pressed on red and green records, with an exclusive pink and yellow colourway, the album can be pre-ordered for $41.99.
Nintendo composer Koji Kondo collaborated with composer Brian Tyler (Fast & Furious series, Avengers: Age of Ultron) on the soundtrack.
“I know the Mario music so well and have always been very nostalgic about all the music that Koji Kondo has written for the games,” Tyler says in a statement. “It was an absolute delight to be able to not just write new themes and music to represent Mario in this film, but to merge it with the music that Koji Kondo wrote for the games. I wrote a score emblematic of the scale and emotional depth of this film that still represents the music of the games since their inception.”
