Nintendo released Version 1.6.0 of the Nintendo Music app for iOS and Android, adding support for iPad, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a browser-based player and the Mario Kart World original soundtrack.

The update includes curated playlists focused on Battle Modes and Free Roam with Super Mario Kart, and an Extended-Playback Collection that loops selected tracks for continuous listening.
