The Sound Gallery playing a track in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)
Listening to a track in the Sound Gallery

The Sound Gallery is the sound test feature of the Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, located in the Journal sub-menu. It allows the player to listen to most music from the game in both their new arrangements made for the Nintendo Switch remake or the original tracks when the Nostalgic Tunes badge is equipped. Tracks not present in the GameCube original are grayed out from the list when Mario is equipped with the Nostalgic Tunes badge, and some have different names when the badge is active. The gallery contains 262 tracks, 108 if the Nostalgic Tunes badge is equipped, if both versions of "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door" and "Greetings from the Mushroom Kingdom" are not counted separately.

Music tracks are categorized by chapter, except Rogueport tracks and Special tracks, which have different conditions on how to be unlocked.

Additional tracks may have extra requirements, such as needing to beat an optional boss character before their battle theme becomes available.

Certain tracks, such as the ambient tracks in Chapter 4 (those that play in Creepy Steeple, Twilight Trail and Twilight Town while Mario is reduced to a shadow), are not present.
