The Super Mario 3D World Original Soundtrack is an exclusive soundtrack to Club Nintendo members of Japan, Europe, and Australia.

It was re-released in Europe and Australia on March 30, 2015.

The cover art shows Cat Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad and Rosalina playing a saxophone, a double bass, a trumpet, a trombone and an electric guitar respectively.

The case contains a booklet, with pictures of the characters and the names of the songs. The picture on Disc 1 has the Sprixie Princess each playing an instrument, such as the maracas, a violin, a drum, a harp, a French horn, a tambourine, and a flute. The picture on Disc 2 has Bowser playing the drums.

It was performed by the Mario 3D World Big Band, composed by Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Yasuaki Iwata and Koji Kondo. It features 77 music tracks from Super Mario 3D World over two discs.

Description
In an interview to the website Destructoid, Mahito Yokota said on October 31, 2013 there will be many bands playing in live. The songs are organizing to spend the feel of a big band, drawing a large number of instruments such as trumpets and saxophones. On November 5, 2013 composers Mahito Yokota, Toru Minegishi, Yasuaki Iwata and Koji Kondo said that there will be new soundtracks for various levels: for athletics and aquatics. The sound has more pace and it looks like Super Mario Galaxy for the majestic rhythm, and listeners would want to make a difference. It is also notable that every song played during a Bowser-related moment is a remix of the World Bowser Theme. These include Bowser's first cameo appearance in the game (the intro, when he bottles the green Sprixie), the first time the player enters a world (the camera pans to the castle during this song), the track A Boss Approaches, and the World 1 and 7 boss fights.

The website Nintendo Everything had access to the record with the composers and for recording the album, which used accordions, violins, flutes, a live orchestra, among other instruments to the main theme of the desert, among others.
