For example, you can see characters from Super Mario Odyssey (yes, Mario and Luigi are not forgotten), The Legend of Zelda, Pikmin 4, Splatoon 3, and Ring Fit Adventure. In total, 35 musical scenes are provided. Later, the company promises to add free melodies from games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Mario Kart 8.
