The '''''Super Mario 64 Original Soundtrack''''' (released in Germany as '''''It's a me, Mario! The Original Super Mario 64 Soundtrack''''') is a video game album that was produced and copyrighted by [[Nintendo]] and published by {{wp|Pony Canyon}}. The album was released in Japan and North America in 1996 and Germany in 1997. The soundtrack has 34 tracks from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' as well as the "It's a Me, Mario!" voice clip from the game's boot-up sequence; the final track is a bonus piano version of "[[Piranha Plant]]'s Lullaby" performed by [[Koji Kondo]]. The Japanese release is also the first of ten soundtracks in the ''[[Nintendo 64 Sound Series]]''.

The soundtrack is featured in ''[[Super Mario 3D All-Stars]]'' alongside the ''[[Super Mario Sunshine Original Soundtrack]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy Original Soundtrack]]'', albeit with a slightly altered version of the Japanese cover used to represent it. The soundtrack was released on [[Nintendo Music]] on December 23, 2024, having previously being teased in the app's announcement trailer.<ref>[https://youtu.be/DQ5EeImWYaI&t=116 "Nintendo Music – Announcement Trailer"]</ref>

The music is also used in the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', with "Dire, Dire Docks", "Looping Steps", and "Staff Roll" being the only songs not included.
