Super Mario RPG features a lot of fun and quirky minigames, and you’ll encounter one of the most unique relatively early in your adventure. If you’ve come across Toadofsky in Melody Bay and want to know how to compose some music for him, we’ve got everything you need to know below.

All Melody Bay songs and how to play them

You’ll need to play a total of four songs for Toadofsky throughout your journey, returning to Melody Bay at certain points after coming across song clues. Each song is eight notes long, and you’ll have to wait for the tadpole to get into the correct position before jumping on its back to assign it the appropriate note. When you complete a song, speak to Toadofsky for a reward.

Here are notes from top to bottom:

  • Mi
  • Re
  • Do
  • Ti
  • La

No matter how powerful or sleek a new video game console is, it doesn't matter if there are no good games to play on it. When the Switch 2 was revealed, we learned that it would feature backwards compatibility with the best Switch games to automatically give the library a head start. However, most of us have already played those games and are looking for a shiny new title to make the purchase feel justified. We know of a ton of upcoming Switch 2 games for the rest of 2025 and beyond, but what are the hot new games you have to pick from at launch? Nintendo launch titles are traditionally very good, so let's take a look at every launch title you can play on the Switch 2 and see how it compares.

Each game is sold separately, but you can preorder the Switch 2 in a bundle with Mario Kart World to save a little bit of money.

Even in its first year, the Nintendo Switch 2 has a stacked lineup of upcoming video games. A lot of that is thanks to all the upcoming Switch games being backwards compatible on the Switch 2, but there are also tons of brand new Switch 2 titles in the works to really show off your new system. Technically, comparing the Switch 2 vs Switch has a clear winner in the Switch 2, but software is where it counts most. Not all of the best Nintendo franchises are represented quite yet, but you won't have to wait long for most of them. Let's map out what games you can look forward to playing most on the Switch 2 through the rest of 2025 and beyond.

While there is some overlap, you will have to look at the upcoming PS5 games, upcoming Xbox Series X games, and upcoming PC games separately to get a full picture of all the big games coming out.

Mario Kart World is a ton of fun, but I don’t know if it’s $80 fun
Wario races opponents in Mario Kart World.

When the Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5, it’ll be placing a lot of pressure on one game: Mario Kart World. The racing game is set to be this console generation’s Breath of the Wild, with a statement entry in one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises. The company is so sure about its success, in fact, that it’s charging $80 for it, an eye-popping number that has not gone over well with fans so far. If Mario Kart World is going to overcome that financial burden, it has to be really, really good.

And you probably won’t be surprised to hear that it is. I went hands-on with Mario Kart World at a Nintendo Switch 2 demo event, giving me a deep dive into its open-world pivot, elimination mode, and more. Everything I played was a delight from gaming’s most reliable multiplayer series, but on a much bigger scale. Though I did have a blast with it, the price tag does have me now thinking twice about just how much I enjoyed my races. It’s fun, but fun enough to justify the not so insignificant chunk it would take out of my paycheck? I’m not sure that I’m confident enough to make that judgement yet, and that’s not a great sign for Nintendo’s bold price experiment.
