Nintendo Switch Selects[edit]

Currently, we don't list the songs in this playlist since it is stated that it just consists of all Switch game tracks on the Nintendo Music Selects playlist. However, this isn't actually the case. "Connecting Everyone with Island Link" from Brothership is on Nintendo Switch Selects but not Nintendo Music Selects. Additionally, there are no TTYD remake tracks on Nintendo Music Selects (I assume they didn't want to have two versions of the same track in one playlist) but they're on Nintendo Switch Selects. With this in mind, should we list out the full playlist? Technetium (talk) 13:30, January 13, 2026 (EST)

As mentioned on Discord, the Brothership part is incorrect and "Connecting Everyone with Island Link" is in both playlists. For future reference, I highly recommend using my Nintendo Music Playlist Database (Disclosure: Google Sheets-based, may be intensive on lower-end devices). A lot of work was put in to make this kind of stuff easy to check. Anyway regarding TTYD, I do think it would be beneficial to more clearly lay-out which Selects tracks are in which playlist. If we want to keep things brief perhaps we could have a table similar to the one on the Nintendo Music page showing all Selects tracks and which Selects playlists they're in?

I took note of how the NES Selects section handles this since it's a similar situation, and the solution was a table for the additional tracks. I've added this to the Switch Selects section too, lemme know what you think. Polley001 (talk) 17:12, January 13, 2026 (EST)

Individual character playlist and general playlist lists[edit]

This article is currently 330,410 bytes long, twice as long as the recommended minimum size to consider a split. The article can be divided roughly in half by separating character playlists from general playlists, and these two types of playlists have different mechanics on the service. Does such a split seem reasonable? B700465189a9 (talk) 15:08, July 9, 2026 (UTC)

I'd say so. Polley001 (talk) 19:34, July 9, 2026 (UTC)

Tool to make general playlist updates a lot easier[edit]

I've made a spreadsheet specifically to help make updating the general playlists correctly a lot less of a pain. It's basically a spinoff of my Nintendo Music Playlist Database which focuses solely on general playlists and only displays Super Mario franchise tracks. Please note that upon any kind of update to the service, it will only be updated following all of my other resources, which typically takes a few hours (not that this page tends to be updated that fast anyway).

Also, please remember to update each playlist's Super Mario track count (conveniently also viewable in the spreadsheet) and to round up track lengths regardless of the amount of milliseconds (do note that the mobile app no longer displays rounded up track lengths, only the web app does, so be wary if you use the former as a reference).

You can find the spreadsheet here. Polley001 (talk) 19:57, July 21, 2026 (UTC)

You should share that in PipeProject:Music § Resources! — Lady Sophie_17 Wiggler Sophie.png(T|C) 20:01, July 21, 2026 (UTC)
I've added it to the Nintendo Music resources section on my talk page that's linked there, I figure that works well enough. Polley001 (talk) 20:04, July 21, 2026 (UTC)
Oh, I see, that's great then. — Lady Sophie_17 Wiggler Sophie.png(T|C) 20:05, July 21, 2026 (UTC)
